    Ok, I know it's a little shrill, but I promise it works. ;)
    NOTE: Using twang is NOT healthy for people suffering from nodules, polyps or other problems. So be careful with it.

    I tried the nya-nya-nya sound and my cat (literally) attacked me twice. And should a baritone or a bass use twang it is at higher pitch than I'm use to? I have a low singing voice but a medium speaking voice

    This is so helpful! I'm a first saprano but can be too airy when I get really high. This technique really helps a lot. I wish I could take voice from you! You are an amazing teacher. :-)

      Same, I trained in Opera... so trying to make my voice modern is really hard. I do have the benefit of starting in a Southern Baptist Choir (My babysitter on weekends went to church every Sunday) but once I hit college I trained my voice fully classical.

    Ahhh Evynne, you have such gifts, both the ability to clearly demonstrate what you mean, and too, for keeping our attention: its never boring to watch your voice lessons, from Disney Princesses to Fran Drescher, willing to make odd faces and strange sounds to get the lesson across [NO FEAR!] with the charming bonus of Ash's little voice now and again piping up in the background.

  • @keilaniroza783
    @keilaniroza783 4 роки тому +3

    Girl I've done choir for a very long time and my god I don't know why I didn't consider this trick, I was getting so mad at myself for sounding so bad and then once you said twang I immediately knew what you meant. You literally improved my singing by 1,000 percent for the song I'm working on in 5 seconds I love you lol thanks so much.

  • @7DreamBigFlyHigh7
    @7DreamBigFlyHigh7 8 років тому +22

    Evynne, could you do a commentary video where you take us entirely through one of your recorded songs and point out the various techniques you've been using, and/or how you approached trickier parts of a song? I really liked how you used the example of Hello. Love these videos!

    I am primarily a head voice, light singer. I just found out that I have to figure out how to belt Suddenly Seymour in two days and this really helped me figure out to put less strain on my jaw and still get the sound I was looking for. Thank you!

  • @caseyreynoso3825
    @caseyreynoso3825 6 років тому +1

    I really appreciate this. You are consistent with my voice teachers I have had over the years. I am struggling with a weakened head voice and so anything to help increase phonation up in those notes is helpful.

    @musicgirl21788 8 років тому

    I'm loving these videos. They're very easy to follow along with (though that might just be the musician in me, I can't speak for everyone else). I started getting discouraged with my singing after I blew my vocal cord and it got infected causing some permanent damage.
    You started this series right about the time I was cleared to sing again and the videos have been a ton of help. I haven't noticed that much of a change, my dad says he has, but I'm probably just being too hard on myself. Now I just need to work on slowly getting my range back.

  • @MaryIlles
    @MaryIlles 8 років тому +6

    Hi Evynne, I just found you here on youtube, I really find your technique to be solid, healthy and very much in keeping with what I've learned about "belting", "mixing" and classical "legit" sound. I also teach a lot of young teen girls, and these exercises are terrific for them too! The way you speak about healthy technique is very much in keeping with how I like to teach too. Thanks!

    2019 and blessed to have found this series of voice lessons. I love to sing to myself and people tell me I have a beautiful voice. But what is a beautiful voice when you don't know how to use it with right techniques. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills! ❤

  • @gracefitzpatrick6343
    @gracefitzpatrick6343 6 років тому

    honestly, i’m so glad i stumbled upon your video and especially this one! i recently competed in a voice competition where the girl who placed first in my category had a signature song that i believe used this type of placement. she blew me away with how high i thought she was “belting,” but now that i’m thinking about it, she might have been placing it like the way twang is. awesome video! thank you :)

  • @karenstancato1307

My 5th graders sang Almost There and they all felt so much more confident after we went though these videos! Thank you ❤

    This was so helpful! I keep sending these to my own InBox to see it again & again and have it be the most accessible. She is beautiful and an incredible singer! I have struggled vocally with the exact content she has gone over. I watch American Idol & feel so unconfident with my voice hearing all those singers…not a good feeling. Her voice is far more beautiful with perfect technique! Makes me feel like I could learn this, and protect my voice at the same time. How do we know that those American Idol singers are doing their belting in the most protective & safest way for their vocal chords. I found gold today! Thank you, & keep signing; I will aspire to one day being able to do the same.

  • @radishcrystalbiggie
    @radishcrystalbiggie 8 років тому +1

    This was brilliant and so so helpful!! I often feel my voice teacher doesnt really understand female voices as he is male... He is determined to make me into a soprano but I would normally sing alto- this has been really helpful for reaching some of those higher notes!! :D xx

  • @lisaponten6036
    @lisaponten6036 2 роки тому +1

    I have really appreciated these videos. I'm a classical singer, but sometimes I need to teach my students some healthy belt/twang. You give such great and healthy and accessible examples! Also, many of the online belting tutorials are done by men or lower-voiced women. Your videos are much more relatable to sopranos. THANK YOU!

    Normally I don't listen to singing tutorials on youtube because I've had singing lessons for years and I don't normally find them that helpful. But I started watching this series on your channel because I'm such a big fan of your singing and I'm finding them immensely useful. It's so nice to know that even after years of singing lessons, I can still learn new exercises and discover new things about how to use my voice. Since you asked for suggestions for future videos - how about a video on vibrato? Sometimes mine sounds a bit - thin? I'm not really sure why. Thanks again for the video and I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
