About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.
Thanks for checking out my channel & please subscribe!
I trialled Gamma and with the SPECTRE25 DISCOUNT, it cost just £48.00 (big thanks to this channel, 21 May 2024)🏆😎 - and it's well worth it. If you've got Cubase 13 and therefore, Steinberg's new Vocal plugin, which took me quite a while to get used to, then you'll find Gamma easier to dial in and much swifter results!! All the best ✌️🤠
The reason most vocals sound like sh*t in the mix is because most people cannot sing. True story.
Man is that ever true
I can only count in one hand how many metal singers are actually great at their craft. Most have some talent but their parts fall off in the composition or vice-versa.
Not the whole truth .. Some people have a nice voice on thier own .. Like Lou Reed had for example .. So there are exceptions.
So if you are not the best singer then you should be caring that you sound is very cool if you sing .
If you rely on Autotune then you wont get better thats another thing in 2024 .. People are lazy and think singing is not an instrument..
You got milk out where you are good and dont bend up yourself because you have the idea that you got to hit high notes.
But i am agree for 90 % because of exceptions, i like people who are selfmade singers if they sound cool ..
Sorry for bad english I'm dutch
Well, I used to have a 6 octave range and could do all kinds of vocal effects, I was urged to get into opera... but my voice just never sounded good, and there's nothing I could do about it other than seeing if some facial, and dental surgeons want to reconstruct my sinuses and the rest of the shit to fix it! And well, I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to call it a no go. I also fell in love with the guitar, and made it my craft, and then even found I like to and can build them better than playing them! So It's what I have been doing for nearly 5 decades. But I do agree that many who think they can sing, are not good at it. I noticed that some don't call themselves "Singers" but "Vocalists" often in a way that makes it sound like the encompass more than just singing, when in reality they are saying the don't sing, but grunt and squeal really well: Listen to (at your own risk) Yoko Ono!
This!!
- Does dairy affect your tone?
- Dude dairy IS my tone
Same here! I can’t do my bedroom voice without beer and Pizza! 😂
That would be a funny idea for a VST, just a vocal plugin that is designed to look like a cow. Had a single knob that says "MOO"
My vocals sound like sh*t in a mix mostly because I can't sing.
Same
Yes! I find my day job is... how do you say indispensable?
Same lol
Right there with you, buddy.
Even with a good mix my vocals sound “ew is this what I sound like” 🤦🏻♀️
Everybody hates their own voice lol
Sounds sick !!!!
Everyone feels this way, it is something that goes away with time, being silly and comical about it helps ease the pain sometimes lol
Bone conduction fucks up perception. Wear hearing protection and increase the volume of the monitoring to negate it
@@DarrellBraunsLongThumbNail nah, I love my voice. The problem is convincing anyone else to like it haha
As a struggling alcoholic and solo music fucker, alcohol definitely fucks everything up. If you can't record without drinking, look into some help, and I mean that out of love and empathy. I am having a really hard time myself. Much love
The hardest struggle with alcohol is paying for it ;)
More seriously, props to you, I just _convince_ myself I _want_ it ;)
tbh if u cant record without drinking that probavbly means u choose the wrong career.
@@n1troni Politics is where it's at.
I swear dude, you have an uncanny ability to release a video just at the same time I start thinking 'Well, I watched everything I wanted for today...' Happened three times in a row!
I Also swear, like two years ago he did the same thing, but for every mix problem I was trying to solve. Several days in a row. I was freaked out. Musta been channeling something XD
The sharpening visual effect on "harsh esses" at 8:42 was a very nice touch.
Ok, so I WASN'T trippin'?
I'd love to see you interview Devin Townsend... amazingly versatile singer, great guitarist, and supreme mix engineer all in one.
Any chance of this?
The secret to having a great vocal sound is to start by singing in tune, followed by having a bit of character in your voice. A lot of people think they can sing when they really can't.
It's like in a group doing karaoke the worst of the bunch always hogs the mic. People that suck do so because they don't think they do.
Proper diction is important. Anybody can be a mumbling muppet and many pro singers are.
No dairy before the recording/gigs to prevent brown notes
🤣🤣🤣👌🏿
This is one of your best, non comedy episodes. Great work, beautiful mastery of use of reverb, delay and mic timing-distance. That plug-in is POWERFUL.
Wow, thanks!
Your cousin is damn right. Not only strip dairy and alcohol, but sugar(!!!) drinks! Also, eat less than usual eventually, and the MOST important and efficient thing to me to ensure my vocal performance is on point: sleep enough 2-3 days before the gig!
I hate sleeping early and "missing out on my day", but proper sleep is absolutely crucial to focus and hone in on your craft. This is a thing which is often understated.
Great advice... I would drink green tea with honey the day I'm tracking vocals. The honey cleans the pipes by getting garbage to stick to it and flushing it out. I usually track the main vocal, add width to it... then I usually add about 3 more vocal tracks under it panned differently with less volume than the master vocal track and layer it so that it sounds in unison.
Ahh much better blend on the video editing this time! Not too much, not too little and let me focus in on what is going on better. Keep up the awesome work everyone!
God, I've spent so much time micromanaging vocals. You have some singers that just can't stay in one spot and perform, so you gotta chop up the performance, do clip gain on individual words, and do separate EQ on bits that have more proximity than others. Only because the performances were bloody amazing and worth the trouble. It worked though.
For my vocals, I just hit the mute button. Instant mix saver. 😁
give up beer n pizza? next youll say i should give up smoking pot daily too😂🍻
I know. The nerve of this guy!
Welcome to Spectre Sound Studios. I've done everything the fucked way so I can tell you how to do it right!
As always Glen, you rock! Thanks again for the info.
I must say, I haven't watched many SMG videos recently (a year or two even), but this series has made me come back.
around 8:00 I'm pretty sure that's the kind of crucial tip usually given in expensive courses, to hear it for free feels like a robbery lmao, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge Glenn !
Whereas I don’t sing screaming/growl metal but cutting through the mix when low is important and taming when belting is the eternal balance between the instrument mixing. This sounds like a really great tool Glenn. It’s an all in one utility. Thank you
Holy balls, the screaming metal is really "in your face". Caught me off guard half listening the video at that point on my computer and I jumped a little haha! Sounds awesome!
This one might actually help me, I am a vocalist. I'm no professional, I sing at home doing karaoke. I do have a few videos on FB and Instagram however. I know about dairy, I don't have any before singing....period! Trying to sing with a cold or just sick in general sucks too! UGH! I got Covid in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, that really fucked with me. For about a year, year and a half I couldn't even get in a full breath. It really screwed my lungs for the long haul, I was finally able to breathe regularly after about two years. I literally had to teach myself how to sing again, it took another 6 months to a year. It took a year to be able to actually hold a note so singing to Amy Lee was a no go and "Bring Me To Life" is one of my go-to's. It really sucked just trying as I'd get the breath but then trying to get a note out I'd start coughing and hacking. Instead I started singing easier songs with shorter notes so I didn't choke on them. In some ways getting Covid was almost a good thing, I think my voice actually improved! Not because I got sick but because of the extra work I put into my vocals after, I feel my voice is much stronger now than it was before. I realize I went off topic, I tend to do that. haha! Getting back on topic all I have right now is the mic on my laptop and phone. It doesn't seem to be too bad but obviously NOT great!! I'll keep watching your videos and take note of your tips, hopefully someday I'll be able to buy more equipment. I appreciate that you share your knowledge, I really should have started watching you a long time ago. I've also started following you on Instagram and FB as well.
Glenn have you tried XVox by nuro audio. It’s a vocal chain much like this and it’s got the ducking thing going on for the reverb and delay. I enjoy it quite a bit. I got the pro version on sale. I’d like to hear your perspective and see what you could do with it.
thanks for this huge plugin tip! I was able to replace tons of plugins in a "difficult" track and it was amazing what I could do using only it!!!
This whole time i thought it was my horrible voice? I need more than a bucket to carry a tune 😔
Saw this on another channel recently. solid plugin! This is like what the Waves Scheps Omni Channel wants to be. this plugin literally has everything I already use to put on my vocal chain in one plugin at a good quality (which i find kinda rare for these all in one solutions). The thing is that i just don't reach for channel strips for the entire strip and i probably won't use this like that either, but the big highlights for me here that i don't see often in these style plugins is that the saturation is actually really good and offers various optoins, width and doubler control, and that ducking feature (something I do in automation if the mix is dense or calls for it).
no chocolate cake before a gig Rod Stewart
"Ben Gay is important before any performance" Mick Jagger . Lol
Rod used to shove his cocaine "where the sun don't shine," so it didn't destroy his voice, too.
@@castleanthrax1833 yea my guitar teacher told me about this nurse he used to know she did that way too.
One thing I love about mixing vocals is shaping the room. If it’s a wider mix and you want more present reverb, pre delay is so good for making the vocals appear more upfront and not washed out if the instruments are super wide, and if you side chain the reverb to the vocals you can get really beautiful sounding tails
I like that you still have that midas 522. What do you usually use it for?
Question, when is it appropriate to solo a track? Is it to take out any unnecessary frequences by using the EQ? I kind of ran into this issue where I was dialing in an amp tone (while having the the guitar track on solo) and when I thought it sounded it good, brought it into the mix and it sounded like shit. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for everything Glen!
GLEEEEEEEEEEEN, I really like your videos and your cientific approach to the issues regarding recording and more, but please enlighten me, what is de deal with avoiding dairy products and vocal performance? I'm asking for a friend (wink wink) greetings from Montréal
On vocal live sound: the PA is actually loud enough to let you hear the vocals. The problem here lies in how loud the other instruments are. Trust me, when you hold back a bit on the volume knob or drum stroke, you'll sound better
Bingo !! :)
Shotgun svg 6, sm57, or b906 ribbon for vocals? Their all I have. Thanks in advance🤘
Sounds great! a lot of things I do with multiple plugins so I’m curious to try this one. I also use a side chain proq3 on the instrument mix that dips the vocal frequencies just a small amount. Let’s it sit “more in the mix”
I wonder how this compares to the Howard Benson vocal plugin from jst. It is my go to plugin for vocals. This seems to be sort of the same with more tweak ability 🤔
It lacks tone wood and tubes for warm and punchy. Jk 😂 Plug in sounds great! 😁👍
😂
I was thinking exactly the same.
9:28 What's the name of that song and is it released or not yet?
so what is the WIDTH and DOUBLER actually doing? are either/both of them a good substitute for actual double tracks? im mainly thinking about clean vocals here. is one/both of them basically just delaying the right or left channel by a few ms? or is there more going on? anything i can do to avoid having to record two perfectly identical takes would save me a lot of time as i only ever record myself as a hobby. i like to throw ideas together quickly.
also curious how much latency it adds because i can run mostly stock FL plugins and get compression, de-ess, eq, reeverb, delay for all of 2ms. i can run it all live if i want
doubling the same take doesnt have the same effect has redo another one. it gives a different sound. It's up to you to choose what the right things to use.
Is the version released via Distro Kid the one you worked on? Mix sounds slightly different, even if vocs do not.
This Plugin is truly Amazing!
I'm curious about how the width effect is created. The reason I ask I that I wonder how it will sound when bended to mono (like playing though a single Bluetooth speaker. Gotta make sure the mix still works in mono.
Wow that plugin makes it easy. Just run a good performance into it and you're done. Check out the sE Dynacaster, Glenn.
I really like this kind of all-in-one plugins for my workflow and overview. This is why I landed on iZotope stuff a long time ago. Alloy and Nectar 2 at first, now Neutron for all purposes and Nectar 4 for vocals. Just so convinient, but might give this Gamma a try also
Please PLEASE tell us how you're getting that incredible bass sound!!
Glenn! I think it was in this video when you mentioned or hinted at this idea that a lot of metal has gotten boring. As a listener I kinda feel like sometimes musicians focus too much on showing off the cool stuff they can do even when it's not appropriate and it got me thinking about what makes a hit song. I was listening to some pentatonic-based stoner rock today and got to thinking that what gets that second and third and hundredth listen isn't that your music is difficult to execute, it's that your music is difficult to forget. Sometimes the simplest riff or vocal line is the best earworm.
When it comes to effects, one of the most useful things I do is a fairly severe low-cut and high-cut on echo and reverb. This applies to both studio and live. You get the gist of the effect but it isn't stepping all over the rest of the mix. Of course, that's only one of many things to getting a good mix but it's an easy place to start.
These kind of plugins are cool (I've tried Izotope Nectar and IK's Joe Chiccarelli plugin) but I much prefer to do reverbs and delays separately so I can use as many as I need to and easily adjust them individually.
Interesting... I wonder how it stacks up against JST'S Howard Benson vocal plug...it has similar features.
Hey Glenn! Could you do a clip with your take on recording vocals in a closet compared to an untreated room?
Gleeeeen! I would love to see an episode where you tell us how the EQ on our radios and stereos efect the sound of the music that we listen too. I do more harm than good whenever I try to make a little EQ adjustment.
Speaker size is important. I believe smaller the speaker the more high end is stressed and the larger the speaker the more bass is stressed.
if just a stereo (for example car) put a song on that has many different instruments of a genre you like and know what it's supposed to sound like.
Pick first EQ knob, go overboard to know what it does in practise and come back down to where you like it. Next knob. Do this for all knobs and maybe 2-3 times again.
If like phone->car stereo, phones often have these EQ wizards that tell you to shut out all other noise as much as possible (although you could be a passenger and do it with the driving noise for more accurate practise solution) and it makes a beep-test. You click yes if you hear it, no if you don't. Ofc turn the stereo up where you hear at least most of them.
Then it'll drop the frequencies you hear better and bumb the ones you don't, often leading to a balanced tone.
It can do wonders but since my car has a crappy radio/speakers/amps that isn't earily replaced, it's as good as it gets. Balanced to be sure, but kinda weak. One of my older cars went wont trashcan to surprisingly good by just replacing the radio to a Pioneer something. No discobass but surprisingly strong, for a 1989 opel!
I've done it with some other stuff though, and it sounds stellar!
I have the joey sturgeos vocal plug in and am pretty happy with that, the layout on this one is a bit better I'll say.
That seems like reasonable advise, Glenn. Singing is a very physical thing. The key to me, is energy. Pushing out air and making it sound good in a healthy way, demands energy. Certainly in a studio where the clock is ticking away, you need to be able perform line after line after line and that can be sooo demanding. Not having enough energy means trouble. The kind of trouble that will strain your voice and vocal chords. So I'd advise to get enough sleep, not going on benders a good period of time before studiowork, even eating less carbs (I'm not a food expert but that works for me). But there is the psychological side aswell. Don't go changing that kind of stuff over night. On a studio day, go about your normal routine, unless you normally get shitfaced every day. What I mean is, don't go drinking gallons of water if that's not your habit. Grab your normal cup of coffee etc. Beside energy it boils down to technique. Everyone can learn how to sing. Threat your vocals like an instrument and learn how it works, grab some lessons on a regular basis, find a coach that isn't just a singer that needs money. Personally, I'm a fan of the CVT school because it's science based and works with a vocabulary that I can work with, so it doesn't matter what coach I'm talking to. So not drinking alcohol or consuming dairy, might be a good start but it's a way longer process than that. So vocalists, spend the money the other bandmembers are spending on gear and spend it on vocal lessons, even if you think you're the bomb. You're probably not (or not yet).
Well first, I cant sing. But I found the only way to make my really bad voice sound decent (mix wise anyways) I need to use TONS of plugins. LOTS of saturation, compression, EQ, finally LOTS of delay and reverb to hide my terrible voice behind. I also find doubling my vocals (by singing them twice terribly, not copy and pasting) also makes my vocals sound slightly less terrible. I'd get a singer, but Im incapable of working with any other musicians or having other peoples input in my music at this point. ALSO, Glenn if you read this - what did you think about the late great Steve Albini's recording methods? I feel like you'd have some disagreements with the way he did things, and at the same time lots in common.
ngl you just sound like you make hyperpop.
How did you know???
I have this plugin and really like it. The problem is it makes my vocals quite, so I have to click "throw" on the delay section and then unclick it for the vocals to be back up to normal volume. Does anyone else have this problem, I'm using it in Reaper. BTW it does it on two different computers.
Boss DD2 or 3 with electro Harmonix holy grail reverb,soz analogue is more for me hands on.. but you understanding of our brains into digital is great your sound is great .
Chino in Deftones puts his hand over the end of the mic all the time. And it sounds awesome!
Awesome Glenn! I miss these type of videos. Reminds me of the early days. You also missed a great opportunity for some kind of Americans + cheese joke when talking about laying off dairy.
I’ve been using Decapitator on my more aggressive vocals and it always winds up having a chirp to it. But this seems to do the saturated vocal thing pretty easily
Hopefully it doesn’t devour CPU like Howard Benson Vocals
Yerba Mate is my go to when I record vocals. Homemade tereré in a French press and drink regularly while recording.
Cool plugin! Very comparable to Howard Benson Vocals. Gonna have to try this out!
Another good idea is giving up sweets. I sing also and I gained at least half an octave after two weeks! Certain higher notes used to irritate my throat horribly because I was so into sweets. Giving them up changed the game.
Amusingly, the last session I did was the first time ever that I actually like the sound my vocals were making! :-P
Now that was a top tier Chris Barnes impression at the beginning
I need this plug-in! I'm tired of adding every one of these individually.
Glen, have you noticed what channel you marked on the description? hahaha you tagged a health channel, not the band sticks and stones channel...
Is that a cover of the Vinland Saga opening? 🤘
What is the first band you were mixing the vocals of? It sounds so good.
Sticks n Stones. Link to band is in the description
@@SpectreSoundStudios Thanks man I appreciate it!
Two Producers whom I would love to see their brain picked are Matt Thomas and Pete Hinton - they recorded some , no THE favourite guitar tones of all time for me!
Would love to see a HB vs Gamma shootout
I just use drawmer s73 for compression, JST soar for delay (tape), and tsar reverb. Reverb and delay are on busses though, no way would I ever put a delay or reverb on the track channel.
I've been needing this exact plugin. It's crazy how many self-styled "recording engineers" have no idea how to properly mix vocals. They see them as just background noise for the guitars, I guess.
The most important thing is to have a singer who can genuinely sing and wants to sing as opposed to "Oi, Dave, you're not as good on the guitar as me but you probably have the balls to sing, you do it!". I've mixed vocals done by an older lady who sang into a hand held SM58 in her living room - it was so easy to make them sound good, 'cos she was a great singer, who'd sung thousands of small shows. I just compressed them a little (her mic technique reduced the need for "levelling" compression), EQ'd them and added a bit of reverb so her voice sat in with the rest of the instruments. When I mix my own vocals, its a clusterfuck of processing to make up for how shit I sound.
My vocals sound bad because I’m not a singer but no one in my town is a metal vocalist so I’m on my own if I want to write and record music. I don’t WANT to sing but I want to make music because I love it. So I do the best I can! Thanks Glenn I’m totally going to check this out!
Where you from/live if don't mind me asking?
The only metal vocalist is the ones that use the Cookie Monster technique. Don't go full Cookie Monster. The rest of the metal singers are opera singers and or blues singers.
@@budv33 New Jersey, USA
10:02 needs to be made into a short🤣🤣
"how much voice saturation do you want?" Black keys vocals: "Yes"
Question...Why are there no recent videos, and what nots of all the bands your working with all these years? I scare away almost every musician I work with once I mention recording, and or making a video for UA-cam 🤔🍻🤘
Do you use a TV for your monitor?
Yes!
I’m going to take it a little bit further than your cousin. I studied with Don Lawrence. he is arguably one of the most successful vocal teachers in the country/world. he suggests room temperature water, despite belief, no hot tea! When he told me his philosophy, it made sense. You don’t wanna have any extreme temperature sway on your vocal cords ,! Also, an hour before you perform.
I sing in a heavy band and we’ve been on plenty of ,A line tours ! Dan also taught me, if you’re on the road for more than a week, at the very least stay off of dairy for the whole tour!!!!!
Whether or not anybody respects what I’m about to say, the man is the vocal coach of one of the most successful Popstars stars of the 20th century. You may not like Lady Gaga’s music, but there is no denying that she is a true musician and a talent! Just my opinion, Glen!
I listened to the advice of not partaking of alcohol or dairy for the two weeks I rehearsed and recorded cleans for an acoustic record. It definitely made the whole thing easier. Once I was 100% sure my vocal tracks were done I got a pizza and had a beer to celebrate. If you really care about a good performance you should be able to make that minor sacrifice.
Shocked about Glen’s opera singer cousin - but now the 2022 “hello everybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy” makes sense.
Ok, but what's the name of the band on the second half?
Last gig I watched I’m emotionally damaged from the singer screaming at the audience telling us how lame we were in a muffled monotone scream. The only thing I could understand was that the ending when he slowly said do you fing hear me? And everyone cheered lol
That plug-in seems like it would work well with just about any rock pop or metal vocal.
Some people here say that they cant sing .. If you want to sing then i have a tip .. Search the range of your voice first and practice with a piano or guitar if you can hit the notes ..
Use words like EH or NA or HNGGG and bend it up not to far otherwise you make maybe some damage ..
I never use autotune and thats good too because you got to learn to love your voice and you got to hear what you maybe doing wrong ..
Autotune is used by people who want to sing out of range and dont know how to sound cool or sometimes they even cant sing
I like raw oldskool recording with no time stamps and no autotune as fixer .. Good Video as always . I like Glenn he is cool..
Pitch! Sing in pitch! In tune! On key! It effing matters! I'm singing in half an hour so I'm warming up with blue cheese wine.
And a Scotch chaser. Might smoke a few bongs too. What can possibly go wrong? Good thing I know how to cup the microphone properly!
My vocals sound alright in a mix... until I hear myself on different headphones or speakers. I want to get studio monitors once my finances get there. Still, when I started to test out the mix (Glenn trick) on multiple sound playback systems, it helps a lot. I just got to remember to do this when I speed record and speed mix
Yo is that 2nd song released yet 👀
I thought ducking occurs when the audio fades out before it starts to clip, but I could be wrong. I blame my EDM friends for putting that thought into my head.
that growl buried in the mix at the beginning was hilarious
When we are jamming alone. We want our tone to be very wide range. From Bass to Treble. We want to sound like the whole song. That becomes an Issue when you're in either a band, or studio setting. When your guitar to stepping on the vocal tracks. That only makes a mess.
My girlfriend happens to be non-dairy and Gluten-free for medical/health reasons. Now I have an excuse to match her diet more, thanks for the tip about dairy! And thanks for the discount code too, it stacks with the current 43% off sale. Rock on (aka fuck you) Glenn! 🤘
On a side note: what about non-dairy alternatives? Can I drink oat milk and not have to worry about my throat getting coated?
Fellow opera singer here. Dairy hasn't been a big issue for me, but salty food, absolutely! (So pizza is still out) Alcohol, most definitely and my real kryptonite is spicy food. After a concert, I celebrate with beer and Tex Mex, unless there's another one within two days.
Gamma seems like a great piece of software. For a deep voice like mine, getting through a mix can be a real pain, and I know nothing about recording, mixing or mastering.
Amazing that salt is an issue. Dave Mustaine and Amy Grant use salty food before they perform and it's always helped them.
@@GalanDun It seems to be really personal. One of my colleagues can't handle bananas before a show, I find them to be a great source of energy.
The dairy abstinence works great for me combined with pineapple juice to help get rid of the mucus buildup that's already there. Also tea helps. Not too hot tho.
That second song went so hard ngl
saw a local pirate metal band they sounded amazing on stage
bought their cd and the vocals really didn't feel like they were embedded into the music
YES...Anything that dehydrates you will cause vocal problems. Avoid alcohol AND caffeine...and drink plenty of fluids. Too many people underestimate the power of staying hydrated. Cheers from Tennessee!
What about if I constantly drink coffee so I'm never dehydrated, replace the out with some in
I love this song I click the link and it goes to some weird stuff anybody have this is it on Spotify
A tip I would give anyone recording vocals or just learning to sing especially into a microphone, if you can't hear yourself with headphones on monitoring yourself, you're singing wrong, make sure you're using your sinuses, should feel full in your head, and make sure your voice is in front of your mouth, not the back of your throat
