    I think it would be better to say "you might be a baritone, but that doesn't mean you can't access high notes". It just means you'll have a different timbre in the high range, and your passaggio will be in a different place. It's no bad thing to be a baritone - most men are, in fact! :)

    Being a Baritone could never be a curse. I myself am a Baritone and won talent shows and even caused few tenors along with sopranos to be eliminated. It's not always about range. It's about proper technique and placement of the voice. How convincingly you resonate to your audience. If you sound like a star you will become one. It Has nothing to do with being a tenor. The voices are somewhat similar only one is lower but you can't tell a tenor from a baritone by hearing them speak but sing mostly

      My baritone singing voice has always seemed kind of boring when I'm singing hit songs that originally had high notes on the recording. High screaming notes. It's depressing to not be able to reach those notes, even while sounding like yourself. Depression is what drives some people to sing to begin with, so when they can't sing what they want, what can they do?

      ***** I was classified as a baritone, but I developed a way so I can hit high notes, but I can't stay in high range all the time. Recently I "discovered" Elvis Presley, and his songs match exactly with my natural range. I'm loving it. He's the king of rock. I love Renato Russo music too. He's one of my favorites singers. Bob Marley is a tenor, but I can sing in his tune... I have listened him for years, so naturally I could develop singing in his register, not all songs, of course... But never give up, friend! Discover yourself more and more... I'm trying it constantly! :)

      Man, some of those exercises for strengthening and developing range really help! I can go higher than I used to be able to. Have yet to really find the head voice "ring", though. Maybe came across it once or twice. I don't drink enough water, I noticed. That could be a big part of it.How did you figure out how to hit high notes? I can do it very thin, but it doesn't seem to project. But it's also not quite falsetto, either. I can also do an Adam Sandler-style yelp in what I'm not sure is projected falsetto or supported head voice with a low glottis. But I used to do that impression for girlfriends, and it seems to be something I can only turn on to entertain someone in the fun of the moment, especially if we've been laughing.

    • @raffaelrameh14
      @raffaelrameh14 10 років тому

      ***** Hi Don! I discovered that nasal resonance. Justin told something about it in this video. Such resonance turns easy for me to hit notes like A, Bb or even B. I think I use a kind of head voice and chest voice at the same time, mixed. I don't know if it is a mix voice.

    • @into.the.wood.chipper.
      @into.the.wood.chipper. 10 років тому

      I still can't get the vibrato into it, though... Seems it could just be falsetto, and I might not have found out how to get into head yet. Head should project forward, and what I've got is really thin and quiet. It would be cool to hear what you're doing (on Soundcloud or you could email me).
      Mix seems like it could be a misnomer... It's not possible to literally mix head with chest (as far as I can tell, anyway). I think mix is just using rounded vowels to get consistent tone all the way up from the lowest to highest notes.

    I am a Baritone. I think that singing as a tenor would be lovely, but I also recognize I am who I am and being a baritone isn't so bad. Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Ben. E King, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Darius Rucker, Lou Reed and John Fogerty have made a pretty decent living as Baritones.

    • @chojinkid
      @chojinkid 10 років тому

      john fogerty a baritone? he sings as high as robert plant so i doubt it, and if he's really a baritone we cannot say he sings in a baritone range, if he can it's not because he worked hard and took lessons, he was born with that voice, Eric Clapton also sings slightly higher than an ordinary baritone.

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions 10 років тому

      All those songs are in the key of D. He might hit the high notes, but his register is a little lower than you think. At the same time I am not a singer, and you two are probably both right but I just know the keys that fits my voice and I sing a lot of their songs.

    Justin you are awesome and I love your lessons.
    I’m naturally a baritone and for 20 years I embraced it and learned to sing with it. Quite honestly I love my baritone voice. I find it has a bassy warmth to it and I know my little daughter loves it when I sing her to sleep. The past year I started learning to develop my mix and discovered with time that I actually can sing very high. A year ago I didn’t even have a head voice at all and today I’m playing with what feels like a hundred different mix coordinations and I can pitch and tone match both baritones and tenors without much trouble. I discovered that my range actually runs from C2 to D5 and the more I do it the easier it seems to become. It’s made singing a lot more fun for sure and I can’t thank you enough.

    As a Lyric Baritone, my best advice is to learn as much music in the middle tenor range as possible. Through doing that, I found that I have most of the tenor range. The more you try to learn and explore your voice, the better you may get at producing a tenor or tenor-ish range!

  • @carlosburge8887
    @carlosburge8887 6 років тому +4

    Justin I think the best advice you gave was #3. My whole life I've wanted to be a tenor because people told me you can't sing unless you hit high notes. I think accepting your voice and singing from the heart can sound just as good 🙂

  • @jamesrossmusic6013
    @jamesrossmusic6013 4 роки тому +1

    This has been the best advice that I have ever heard... I am a baritone big time even perhaps being bass. And you have totally made my day especially when you said that all this high singing can be tiresome to the ear, and maybe listening to a lower smoother more relaxing baritone tones could be pleasing. Thank You!!!

  • @TerranceHeathDC2MD
    @TerranceHeathDC2MD 11 років тому +2

    I appreciated this. I stumbled across it while doing some searching on why baritone voices are so rare in popular music today. Being a baritone, I sometimes feel like I missed out by being born far too late to have been around when guys like Nat Cole and Frank Sinatra were on the radio. Today, sadly, I don't think they'd get anything near their due.
    I started out as a baritone in high school, and pushed myself to try and sing tenor. It wasn't until years later that I worked one on one with a voice teacher who helped me open up a whole different area of my range. After working with him, I had more room to work with in my upper range. And l finally had a falsetto voice. I guess I always had it, but when I was in high school I couldn't access it. All of that combined doesn't quite make ma a tenor, so much as a baritone who can approach tenor range.
    It can be discouraging, though, to be baritone, to go to auditions and hear, "You have a beautiful voice, but ... we're looking for .... someone with more ... range." (Translation: "You have a beautiful voice that no one wants to hear.) These days, other than the occasional karaoke night, most of the singing I do is for my kids at bedtime.

    Why is everyone so obsessed with range. The focus should be to sing freely and beautifully. No one in the audience knows if its a high G or a high B. What matters is effect, as in did the note create an exciting effect. Also overemphasizing high notes is dangerous for the voice. You must to expand your bottom range equally as diligently

    If I may offer a thought from my experience. I am a bass/baritone with a good falsetto. Now I feel if there are song that were written and performed by a tenor or someone on the high i.e. Steve Perry, The important thing to note is just that note. Simply sing the same note that they sing the same notes in your octave range you may try adding your own style to it as well.

  • @2015Drama
    @2015Drama 8 років тому +4

    I can't express how much I love watching this one episode in particular, mainly because I feel like I can relate to Justin's story, and the reasons he gave as to why so many men are classified as baritones. I started voice lessons when I was 15, and it was during a point when my voice was going through the expected teenage awkwardness. As a result, I had a lot of trouble hitting high notes that were easy for me before puberty, and I was classified as a baritone.
    Now at a later point in my life where my voice is finally starting to settle in (I'm 23, now), I've done an extensive amount of research and found that I might actually have a completely different voice from what my teachers believe. I've found that my middle voice (End of my chest voice and the beginning of the passaggio) begins at the E above middle C and goes up to A4; I eventually found out that I can easily belt out a good Tenor C and beyond with a good mix. And even as I develop my breath support more and ease on the weight of my vocals as I get higher, I can go from the bottom of the baritone range all the way up to countertenor. I don't hurt either; it actually feels great.
    The problem is, I don't think all voice teachers are aware of this. With my current instructor, he has me classified as a baritone because I still have an awkward transition into my passaggio, and he thinks it's my falsetto or head voice. He has been having me sing lower songs as a result, and just today has been trying to get me to darken my tone to a point where my voice doesn't sound nor feel natural. It's not that I'm not grateful for him teaching me or that I'm doubting him, but even though my higher notes are strengthening with breath support, he doesn't want to go any higher with me. It's very frustrating. It's like he just stops where my chest voice ends. Even when we warm up and I have a good number of notes left without falsetto. Again, I could be wrong and just living in denial, but I'm just really confused and kind of concerned for my vocal health at this time. I just hope one day I'll know for sure and find a way to make the best of my instrument.

      @2015Drama 8 років тому +1

      Jnr Your voice is definitely going to change if you're that young. It's really more of a matter of working with the change and learning to hit high and low notes without pushing.

  • @NewYorkVocalCoaching
    @NewYorkVocalCoaching  12 років тому

    Yes! You can sing tenor in pop/rock music without damaging your voice! Mix coordinations are the key to doing this. If your falsetto goes to G#5, that's pretty nice flexibility. You should be able to coordinate a tenor mix extension in pop music that is healthy, light, and very useful for all your work as a vocalist. A few keys when working on this: don't depress the larynx and don't lift the soft palate too far.

Get good. Work hard. Explore your voice like it's a strange new continent. Find your strengths and accept them, but always be on the lookout for new strengths. All people care about is whether what comes out of your mouth sounds awesome or not.

    I'm a Bass-Baritone, I have the TRUE Baritone curse. But I wouldn't consider it a curse because, actually, I'm very content with my voice. Due to my type and my Full Voice Range { F#2 - F#4 } I can sing very healthy, strong (but light), reinforced Falsetto / Head Voice. Here's what I say.. my falsetto/head voice is the range of a typical Countertenor (of course without the strained, airy feel and quality) roughly { G3 - Eb6 } and I continue to develop this. I have a true Baritone voice and due to that, I feel like I have 2 voices in one. Counter-Tenor and True Baritone. Be happy and use your instrument to the fullest!

I love every part of my voice, I also have a strong falsetto which allows me to mimic a countertenor. I think the most important thing is to embrace our own voice and develop it the right way with vocal lessons and training.

      Nam Truong I agree with you. It's not about range, but about color. Even some basses could hit those tenor notes. The only difference is, they sound like a bass.

    • @gammacentrum1264
      @gammacentrum1264 9 років тому +2

      Nam Truong I just remembered, Baritones actually have the strongest falsettos, and they have more versatile ranges. Tenors, they tend to sound like they're singing high even if they're singing mid range. Also, Tenors still sound pretty young even if the singer's over thirty. In a way, Baritones have it a little better than tenors :)

    • @nam.truong
      @nam.truong 9 років тому

      Tri Dang Cái này mình cũng k biết giải thích sao cho bạn hiểu cả vì mình cũng k phải học thanh nhạc. Nói chung khi hát bạn sẽ đi từ chest voice lên mixed voice rồi lên head voice sau đó là falsetto. Nếu k đi học thanh nhạc bài bản và k có giáo viên hướng dẫn thì khá là khó để lên mixed voice và head voice. Thường thì mixed voice sáng hơn chest voice, và tùy vào kỹ thuật của từng người mà quãng mixed voice này có thể cao có thể thấp, còn về head voice và falsetto thì có 1 số video dạy phân biệt trên youtube, bạn ráng tìm nhé. Mình khuyên chân thành là nếu định học hát thì nên đi học các lớp thanh nhạc, tự học rất nguy hiểm đấy, k cẩn thận mất giọng và hại thanh quản lắm.

    I've had the same feeling of being "cursed" with a baritone register for years! My favorite singers are nearly all tenors/sopranos in metal (I'm not stupid enough to attempt soprano songs). I've tried to get up there, but didn't have any real success until I discovered how to reach head voice with consistency. It makes all the difference in the world when you can reach the high notes. Now I can appreciate the tone of my lower notes too

      Try working on your mixed voice and give your head voice more of a push. You'll end up with more strength in that high notes.
      As to being stupid with the soprano songs, I don't think so. When you stretch your head voice and falsetto enough, and you start getting more of a mix, you'll be able to reach really high notes without them fading away.

Sometimes I can sing waaaay up there, and, other times I cannot. It depends on how I feel, in terms of passion, with the song... Some songs have a great build-up where it naturally ascends, and, those are my favorites, such as "O Holy Night," which is an amazing song I love to sing. Thanks!

      I'm pretty sure that there isn't falsetto in Classial music, just head voice... And my head voice goes from A4 to B5/C6 and my whistle register goes from E6 to C8 ^^

    Being a baritone is like cheating because you can extend to high and low notes ann I have a full vocal range of C1-E6 (subharmonics,chestvoice,falsetto,mixed) and its so friggin amazing to manage to go through those notes because I got the whole range of the whole male vocal range. So yeah it isn't a curse, it's a superpower.

  • @aikanedelahay7143
    @aikanedelahay7143 5 років тому +5

    The first step is self acceptance of your own voice. Develop it, and sing songs tailored to you. Tenors are more popular for sure, but accept your voice. Pop music relies on falsetto into an amplified microphone.

    I will definitely try to explore my voice more with my voice teacher, and recently I was really upset that I have such a low voice (I can sing quite comfortably between at least E2-E4) And then my voice breaks at falsetto in all cases at D#5, but I feel like I have the ability to hit at least C6 (I tried and as I heard it works) and higher (i don't know how much higher and don't want to push my voice that far for now)
    So, it's quite hard for me to sing pop-music, which I sing all the time, but I feel like my voice may have more to offer than I think, and I just need to train it more :)

    Like, my comfy normal lowest chest is a D#2 and my comfy highest chest is a G4 (then head/falsetto to around G#5)

      Could you pass a question onto Justin? I myself am a baritone full-fledged. I've taken voice lessons (speech level singing ~ three years). I've been really into the idea of vocal classification and fach. I know that the system isn't perfect, but IMO it's the best thing we have to identify singers ranges and voice types. The question is... drum roll please 🥁
      Was Freddie mercury a baritone or a tenor?
      From what I have gathered he was a true baritone but a light or lyric baritone and was dramatic and theatrical. I also believe that he had a unique set of pipes anyway and because of his Britishness he had pure vowels, or purer than your average American he was able to sing more naturally maybe.
      So, what do you think?
      Wikipedia says he is a tenor but his speaking voice fell I the baritone range and a studied I came across states he was a light or lyric baritone that had an amazing vibrato and a used something called ventricular folds along with regular vocal folds to create his singing.
      Was a theatrical baritone? Or was he a raunchy, cigarette smoking tenor?
      My opinion based on his speaking voice and singing voice that he was a tenor and my wishful thinking believes that he was a lyric baritone but because he was, yes, gay and dramatic and British and enthusiastic he was able to do his thing, the Freddie thing.

Is mixed voice supposed to feel lighter a brighter, more nasal chest voice, specifically when narrowing it down to a chest dominant mix? And another thing: as a baritone, does that mean I can expand my mixed voice all the way up to a C5 if not higher?

      Right on! Being a baritone is not a curse at all. And if you're singing contemporary, it doesn't even matter! Expand that range to the heights! :) More on this in episode Ep. 113! -NYVC
