I watched this this morning, then tried it in the car and actually managed to do it on the third try!! I was so excited I stopped the car to call my mum 😂
In the first video on her channel, I didn't get what's going on in her mouth nor what I'm hearing. Now I grasped it after watching this. That's the very same effect as what an electric synthesizer makes thru its filters and resonance. She is a human synthesizer.
@@loveyoustill497 I think we all are already controlling it when we speak our language. You can vocalize multiple vowels because you intentionally resonate a specific overtone in your body. We just need super-strong resonance to sing like Anna. She has a UA-cam channel and you can take their lessons, maybe. Tbh modern electric tools can produce the same effect, so I wish I can find something unique to acoustic human voice. I'm gonna dig around her music.
@@kingo_friver yeah, I watched her videos but I can't find something that she taught how to control it😥 I wanted to make my overtone goes up and down while my fundamental is stable. Yeah you should dig in to her music, it's beautiful and the musicians are unbelievable
I tried and its fantastic and not hard to achieve. You just need to listen to what you're doing very carefully. I am a trained singer, but today I tried something completely new to me 🤗❤️😊
16min in and just realized she did all that without taking even a sip of water .. when sanding and fine cutting long pine boards (16'x2"+ thick) . they sing like this sometimes, and it its like it stops time. before you know it, half a days works done in 2 hours. and once you hear it you notice it everywhere for sure. after watching this i think the 60hz motors of the sander or saw is the fundamental and the board overtones like a reed in a flute changing as i work from one end to the other... thank youuu
2:52 By far one of the best TLDRs when it comes to explaining the harmonic series. I've been able to throat sing for a couple of years and I've been working on the overtone stuff, this talk is a fantastic overview if anyone wants to get their head around what overtone singing is all about.
Fascinating! Wish I had known about this long ago! Building muscular control of the tongue and oral cavity can add compelling qualities to our speech and to singing.
I believe shes making two notes at once. The part thats unbelievable to me is how high pitched the "overtone" is. Sounds as high or higher than the Mariahs high notes!
This is really amazing...I have been a fan and now to get a great lesson is perfect! Icy highs and rolling lows at the same time...is just a state of mind.
@@natalia9316 Overtones are always present when you sing or play a note, people usually people can't hear them because they tend to be lower in volume then the fundamental note
Yes! One angel in heaven can harmonize with his own voice multiple times, even better than we can using overtone technique! God has a voice that sounds like "many waters."
Honestly the pandemic had some interesting side effects for me (and I don't wanna disrespect all the death and suffering) - in the first lockdown I took up astronomy as a hobby and when I had Covid myself my voice became so low that I learned "false cord" throat singing and later overtone singing.
She’s a professional singer explaining in scientific terms in what is not her native language a pretty complex technique she only learned in the last decade. If she weren’t nervous, she would be a fraud.
@@lisettegarcia yes she's trying to find her words in english, which is cute. I didn't find her excessively nervous here, I saw her channel and she's always like that when she speaks in videos even when she's alone

Saloni, are you sure that you practice what you preach? The chances of that being the case, is nil. If a millionaire person tells you that money, really, is not everything, then at may be believable. If you don’t have any money, you would not be able to know that, so, just stay quiet.
When I was 6 I saw E. T. and learned to do his voice and say "E. T. phone home". Only later I found out that I learned the basics of "false cord" singing which can be one step on the way to learn "throat singing". Might in fact be similar to doing "motor boat sounds".
How does Anna-Maria Hefele hum that well? How is it possible? I didn't even believe that it was her own voice. I thought that there were sounds in the background or that the video was edited. She must be really talented.
I super curious about how you might apply lyrics to this. The restrictions of the phonation appear to limit the vocabulary but perhaps overrone elements could be added into longer held notes? Super inspirational, I'm gonna try this.
Have seen and heard her before. The first time was sooooo weird. Thought she was singing with a theremin. She has so much better breath control than most of us.
That was my thought as well. What a combination of vocal training to learn how to use this technique and also train in vocal control and breath control
Interesting.. I would have thought that the strain called overtone is actually the base, ie the fundamental, whereas the more traditionally recognizable melody is the overtone because it lays over the background harmony. Really, it’s like the way sound is carried over radiowaves. There is the basic transmission, ie carrier signal (white noise), and then the 4k Hertz voice sound over top of it, ie intelligence.
It amazes me that real talent and practice like this is unrecognised, whilst bad vocals and poor voices of “PoP” singers is rewarded with recognition, fame and money? It makes no sense to me, perhaps I am strange?
I believe it has to do with the ability to replicate the music. Pop singers can be easily replicated to some extent depending on individual listeners ability were as trained singers usually you can only listen to and most likely can not be replicated. Of course this is my observation
You have probably hurt your vocal cords. If you used to sing in falsetto too often, or sang in it improperly, then there's huge chance that you hurt your cords. Most people who have this problem are speaking in broken vibrato constantly when they reach old age, even when they're not trying to vibrato. I advice you to go to an otolaryngologist and to a vocal teacher
Interesting, at 12:05 you adjust the fundamental to make the harmonic fit to an equally tempered scale. I must say, I prefer surrendering to just intonation and letting physics do its magic in our bodies, because otherwise we're doomed to always be out of tune :)
@@camhowelse5797 haha i see the confusion. I meant that surrendering to just intonation is something that I prefer over adjusting and trying to fit in with equal temperament

Her voice is purely amazing and this presentation does not do her justice! Her fear (of crowds perhaps) got in the way... However, why is there no mention whatsoever of the origins of overtone/polyphonic singing coming from Mongolia and Tibet? These ancient people have been practicing these techniques as an artform, for entertainment, as well as a form of meditation, and path to enlightenment for over centuries, if not millennia!
@@Chris-ithaca : Yes! She starts telling about the Mongolian origins of this singing technique at 13:19 precisely. But it’s not only the feature of Mongolian singing (in several styles!), it is also used in Buryatia, Tuva (again in a few styles), in Altai and Khakassia, in Chukchi (Chukotka) Peninsula, in Tibetan Buddhist chanting in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and India, in oral poetry in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, in parts of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, in Kurdistan, on Sardinia, by the Sami people of the far north of Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia. It is practised by the Bashkirs of Bashkortostan, Russia, by the Andalusian flamenco singers, by the Inuits of Canada and was once used by the Ainu people of Hokkaido, Japan. And these are only the examples of traditional overtone singing. There are also some modern ones, you can check on Wikipedia under “ Overtone singing” : )
Yes she was nervous but she did mention the origins, not much but she did. Standing confident in a room of strangers is not an easy task for many man people. The more she does this the more comfortable she will get and I believe she will say much more that she may have forgotten because of anxiety.
I just love how overtone singing is being remembered by our generation, slowly but surely. Thank you Anna 🐘
I this kind of singing is sooo cool.
Weird, but sensual.
I imagine this is how the angels sing in heaven not in unison, but in thirds, in fourths, in fifths, and so on .
Hmmm. Interesting! :)
