I'm a 25-year-old man. I finally got up to a G5 in head-voice, driving home from school today. :-) Warming up, practicing singing high E5 notes, and then F5, etc. Yaaaay. Just have to strengthen it. :-) *Head voice* ... not falsetto. :-)
You'll get there Kendall. Check out the belting section of this video. You may find it helpful to get there with a stronger sound: ua-cam.com/video/cYqQ6ymdI38/v-deo.html
OH MY GOODNESS IVE BEEN SINGING IN A WORSHIP BAND FOR 2 YEARS AND IT JUST CLICKED FOR ME THANK YOU SO MUCH. MY RANGE LITERALLY EXTENDED OVER 5 NOTES IN ONE EXERCISE.
The ney ney scale is from master teacher Seth Riggs and his speech level singing course. Get his book Singing for the stars. It is just one of the many valuable lessons in it. I went from being a natural baritone to a strong tenor with high Cs at my disposal whenever I want them.
What the f*ck??! Arr you a magician??! I have always been a pretty good Singer(gone through first step on swedish idol) and been singing for years(19 years old atm) and can after like 10 minutes watching this video take notes that wasnt possible before.. always need ”Lower key” for songs but now i master them all like nothing.. How is this possible? What is this ”nein-nein-nein” really doing with your voice? Love you man seriously!!!
" I have always been a pretty good Singer(gone through first step on swedish idol)" Being on Swedish Idol rarely means you are a good singer :). Hopefully with practise you might become one someday though.
Stumbled across this at 2:30am whilst trying to get back on school sleeping schedule... in a musical group at school tho and this really helped so I’m glad I came across it!!! Thanks
What I particularly like about this is that you tell us what's going on physiologically ie, that it will close the vocal folds properly. Thank you. This is what I need.
Damn, you're good. I think singing is one area that you need kindness and gentleness. We are all finding our voice, we are all trying to be amazing in our own way, I come away from this video with great tips for healing my high notes and remembering I don't need to sound like anyone else and that thin is okay in high notes, I think that's where I've been going wrong all these years. Gracious we all need more of this kind of positivity in our lives.
I finally learned how to add compression to my head voice in order to achieve a mixed voice, it opened up my chest voice into C5, I didn't have the courage to attempt any higher for risk of injury. This exercise really helped me today as I was strengthening the area and helped take some of the edge off of the vocal fry that is occurring due to the weakness of my chords within my pasaggio. Thanks a lot!
That's exactly right Troyboi. Seth was an amazing teacher. I wrote an article that compares the most popular singing techniques if you feel like reading: www.ramseyvoice.com/sls-estill-cvt/
Hey Jane, the bratty sound should be really easy to do but very ugly in sound. You may not like the way it sounds but it will definitely help. Don't overthink it. Check out this article for more: ramseyvoice.com/singing-practice-sounds-and-methods/
This video was very helpful, thank you for that! And other thing that I noticed was that you actually respond to questions and comments that people make. That is so great, many channels don't do it that much.🤗
I studied with Seth Riggs Canadian affiliate Bill Vincent in the 90's who sadly passed away, then with Falconer Abraham. I'm in the advanced category of Speech level singing at this point, yet I'm not singing! Arrggh. Great video! Takes me back in time. My beginner problem was high larynx, and being to nasal. Had to work on low larynx exercises which totally helped. If you check out the 2 quick little singing videos on my channel (nothing special), you can tell the difference between one before I got back into training and the other one where I trained again and completely opened up my register. I'm subbing to you! Keep up the fantastic work brother!
I literally managed to surprisingly hit Wendy’s high note in step back with this method which is quite high and my throat didn’t hurt, it wasn’t falsetto or anything. I was shocked lmao
The proper musical terminology for "comfort zone" is called your "Tessitura." It means where the majority of the notes lie that don't kill ya to sing them. You can really sing 3 Octaves well? Judging by your comfort notes I would say you are a tenor. C5 is high C for a tenor. Listen to "Nessun Dorma" with a younger Pavarotti singing it (hey he still sounded great like at 70 but y'know) And at the end of the aria when he sings the last "Vincero" (victory) that's a tenor high C. I hope this helps.
I would love for you to rate artist Sia Sometime. I think she’s phenomenal has an incredible range, but I’d love to hear what you have to say about it.💪🏼
im a soprano 1, i always use my head voice and in turn i can never find any video that helps me to develop my mixed voice, i sing a lot from my throat and i really don't know how to fix that, i can't hit A# onwards in the middle scale and that's really low for a soprano 1, can you help me?
Sir, I am 17 years old boy untrained singer. In the March 2021 , I just grabbed headphones up the volume to 60 percent. I noted down my range , lowest note : G2 and highest note : A4 , little hitting to C5 . In female voice : highest was F5 . If I train my voice how high can I go in both male and female voice? Sir , from April 1st 2021 my voice turned into scratchy and air rushing when I speak and it faded by end of April from may till now I have mucus buildup , and I could see my voice box dropped near chest bone . My speaking voice lowered from G3 - A2 to A2 - F2 present from 1 week. I determined that I am growing 2 cm for every 6 months. Is my vocal cord healing? thick white mucus get out of my mouth when I unable to breath because mucus irritates me it’s noisy when mucus is present. If I clear mucus no sound when breathing.
Aaaaargh!! Brilliant!!!! This will help me immensely!! (Not a professional singer though. Just wanna learn how to sing like one.). Thank you, thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Neigh and gaahh also slide from high to low , smooth out the area between Making that sylable puts your larynx in a yawning angle , better for going higher Also tilting your head back to free up your adams apple Anyone tilting their head down is doing it wrong
Hey McMinn, yes "nay" and "Gah" smooth out your bridge area. But the "nay" doesn't put your larynx at a "yawning angle". It actually raises the larynx which brings the vocal folds together. Unfortunately, tilting your head back will not free up your adam's apple. You should keep your neck relaxed and your gaze forward. Check out this article to see some pics of what I mean: www.ramseyvoice.com/how-to-sing/
Are daily scales the only tried and true way to master head voice and high notes? I Have such a problem with falling into falsetto. I mean I have a powerful falsetto but my dream is to sing those high songs like Morten Harket of a-ha. For example I can sing the high note in 'take on me,' but only with falsetto. I just cant pull my head voice up without really straining hard, I end up failing and, I end up coughing, and being left miserably disappointed. Tell me the truth, if I got some professional training, could I learn to sing all my falsetto notes with my real voice instead???
Hey TheSweepingRaveWave, first of all, hitting high notes without falsetto is a skill! In my experience, I can tell you that usually it takes more than working with songs to sing high without falsetto because in a song there are too many moving parts. Vowels, consonants, and volumes are changing constantly in songs. Scales and exercises are the best way to hit high notes without falsetto because the vowel/consonant remains constant. In this case, the "ay" vowel also is helping thin the vocal folds without going to falsetto. The bratty sound accomplishes the same. Once you've mastered the scales shown in the video, the next step would be singing the bratty "Nay" on a song and seeing if you can maintain the balance there.
I'm 57 male and have lost my range badly with age. (I used to be able to sing Shania Twain's 'From this Moment' & 'Faithfully' by Journey, including the brutal final "I'm for-ever yours!" final verse at the very end, which was the highest most difficult note I was ever able to hit). Anyways, whenever I attempt the soprano range you demonstrate here, I instantly break to falsetto on the final hi octave note in each chord, if I want to stay in key. Should I actually allow the falsetto, or practice the lower tenor range for awhile and then attempt the soprano range later? I appreciate your time & response if your able, & thank you kindly for this free video amigo. 😎
Thanks so much for the lesson. I always sing in chest voice but I find it hard to transition into mixed or head voice. When I do your scales I can do them all even up to c# , what would you suggest now? Do I just practice and practice the bratty technique as often as possible and then this should train my voice? Thanks!
You still aren't explaining how your voice is staying connected, just because you make that nay nay sound,doesnt reassure that the chords will stay connected. it just sounds like a way to disguise when you" suddenly" switch from m1 to m2, if I am wrong about that, please explain how its done in a more detailed explanation. Thanks
Hey Rick, great question! You're absolutely right. Just because someone sings a bratty nay nay, this does not ensure that they will stay connected to mode 2 (or head voice/middle voice/mix voice whatever the heck you wanna call it). Different voices may need different approaches. This is one that I feel works best for the most people and is something most folks can do at home. Anytime you're switching from a TA dominant M1 to a more CT dominant M2, there is some binary switch that happens in the laryngeal structure. With the bratty sound, we're thinning the folds so that they are already thinning out for that switch. In effect, we're helping the folds thin to the destination structure. EVERYONE has a switch, but in the words of Ken Bozeman, "If you don't hear the switch, does it really matter?"
Yeah Guitar Tricks. Many different names for the same effect: necessary twang, edge, ring, ping, bratty, ugly, pharyngeal... It all amounts to the same thing: getting the vocal folds to thin out for your high notes, while still vibrating effectively. THAT'S what creates those awesome high notes.
I’m here because I want to be able to perform for instance, Forever Yours (Faithfully) Without belting it, but without sounding quacky. I’m a first tenor, but not like Bruno Mars and MJ, which I believe were (are) countertenors, so I can belt it, but would like to be able to sing with a more relaxed lyric quality. What is a good exercise and technique to able to get the Steve Perry/Deen Castronovo tone ? I have always wanted to do this, but I’m naturally better at the Jeff Buckley, Matthew Bellamy (Muse), Chris Martin, Thom Yorke style of singing which is more false cord based to my ears. How do I hit this register with resonance and volume without having that quacky, overly squeezed sound ? I will appreciate any tips. Thanks.
I’m gonna try to explain this without sounding crazy lol. My voice doesn’t have a strained crack with higher notes most of the time after warming up but I find it always sounds so nasally and muffled when I listen back to it. Any advice to help with this? I’ve been watching your videos for some time and I definitely see improvement and want to keep practicing! Thank you!
Based on this video and its' exercises, I feel like this scale wasn't high enough for true first tenors. Am I just a freak of nature ? I was easily able to do the highest notes in chest without the "bratty/nasal sound".
Hey Adnap, I chose the modulations of the scale so that they'd fit most voices. I'm sure you CAN sing higher. I just kept it so basses and baritones could join in the fun! Thanks for watching
No matter what I do, when I hit that high note, my voice gets breathy, cracky and loses that twang. I have no idea what I am doing which causes this...
Hey Taurui, it's possible that you have some tension in your voice and this exercise is too much for you. Here's a new video with 15 exercises for those high notes. Try doing the lip trill, ng, Gee and Mum in the last section and let me know what works: ua-cam.com/video/cYqQ6ymdI38/v-deo.html
sam smith isnt singing high notes in headvoice. Hes pulling his chest voice, called mixed voice. Example Stay with me, every high note is nearly in mix.
Absolutely Gino. While I'm not sure I would say he's pulling chest (really he's actually a lot lighter than that), I totally agree Sam Smith sings with a mix. Thanks for your comment!
Hi sorry I’m abit confused by your video haha and I really want to try your exercises out, I’m a male with a tenor voice and idk why but I always goes into falsetto fairly quick I can sing high but when it goes higher I feel like even barritone can hit what I hit with falsetto with chest voice and it’s kinda annoying. Anyways when I do the neh neh neh, as I go higher, do I use falsetto or purely chest voice
Hey Zhiyong, great question! You're trying to find a MIX with this exercise. Not just chest, not just falsetto: a mix. I would try to sing the notes in a "bratty" falsetto voice and see if you can get some more power that way. Make sure to read this closely: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-hit-high-notes/
I’ve viewed similar exercises but somehow, my falsetto is “automatic” IDK. Like, I can reach high notes by pulling my chest voice (as high as C#5) which I’ve done with a very unhealthy mix. But doing this exercise, I stuck to falsetto :( Maybe because I got too used to it that it even expanded all the way down to B2 (A2). Sucks :/
Hey I Do, gotcha. Yes, it's possible that the tension of the "bratty" sound of this video is too much for you. I have a new video with tons of different exercises that are a bit more relaxed: ua-cam.com/video/cYqQ6ymdI38/v-deo.html I would actually try the ones at the end, especially the lip trill, ng, and Mum.
Hello, is it normal to not be able to reach the notes the first time doing it? What I mean is, even with the bratty sound, might it take a few weeks of practice to hit the F4 and F#4 notes?
Hey Jacob, of course it's totally normal for those notes to take some time. You can find out a bit more about how to sing through your bridge here: ramseyvoice.com/singing-techniques/
I have had vocal training decades ago which gave me the basic fundamentals of breathing, scales, pitch etc... I have always had a very wide range on the scale with my voice and never had a problem with projection. I am not a professional by any means but I do love to sing. I have found that within the last year I am having issues with not being able to hit high notes all the time. My voice will literally cut out and not allow me to hit the high note and my voice will come right back as soon as I come down the next octave Then I am becoming hoarse after singing only a few songs. I stupidly did smoke for 5 years but have quit. The funny thing is I never had issues with my voice during the time I did smoke. I quit over 2 years ago and this is just now starting to become an issue. How do I fix this?! Or should I see an ENT for evaluation
One thing I don't get: why when someone sings a F4 the actually corresponding pitch on the piano is F3? For example if you sing the middle C, you'd say you've singed a C4 while on the piano is a C3
Hey NAT, middle C on piano actually IS C4. I think it's possible that you're playing the notes an octave lower than you're singing. It's pretty common. If it helps, here's a piano diagram: www.harmoniumnet.nl/klavier-keyboard-ENG.html
@@ramseyvoicestudio thanks very much for the information. Yeah actually I've be thought that in fact... then the problem should be in my DAW which is Ableton Live, I saw a chart., C4 should be around 260 Hz right? When I play a sine wave at 260 Hz and look in the spectrum it says C3..., I'll fix this with the Ableton guys, thanks to you I've excluded any mistake in my music theory thank you very much!
The same place. I'm starting all men around Bb2 which should be fine for starting the 1.5 octave scale. On the octave repeat scale, I'm usually starting around F#3 which is still within the easy range for most basses/baritones.

Once you've mastered the scales shown in the video, the next step would be singing the bratty "Nay" on a song and seeing if you can maintain the balance there.
Great! Keep making the videos :)
Thanks Валентин!!!
You know what, you are awesome bro. I finally did it. RVS rules.
Great job Emir!

Great communicator, thank you!
Thanks so much 95atnoon! If you're interested, you might find this article interesting: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-hit-high-notes/
Thank you! Great energy. 😃
As a contralto I stayed with the men's part hahaha
Thanks for sharing, I have a weak chest voice👍🙏💎🙋🌟💕🌈🎶🎼
add some power:
ramseyvoice.com/increase-singing-power/
I'm 57 male and have lost my range badly with age. (I used to be able to sing Shania Twain's 'From this Moment' & 'Faithfully' by Journey, including the brutal final "I'm for-ever yours!" final verse at the very end, which was the highest most difficult note I was ever able to hit).
Anyways, whenever I attempt the soprano range you demonstrate here, I instantly break to falsetto on the final hi octave note in each chord, if I want to stay in key. Should I actually allow the falsetto, or practice the lower tenor range for awhile and then attempt the soprano range later?
I appreciate your time & response if your able, & thank you kindly for this free video amigo. 😎

BRATTY NAY FOR MALES 3:20 & FEMALES 4:25
thanks, again
Thanks for this tutorial it really helped.
Sure Johnatan! Glad it helped!
Does not work on me . It struggles my larynx hahahah
Id like to do all of this,but I have family all over the place that are going to think I'm high
Hey Xyrabelle, we all make funny noises in order to sing better. If they support you, they'll bear with it.
Ramsey Voice Studio lol I was joking,but thanks!
I need to practice alone 👀
Danke für die "coolen" Tipps.
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for commenting Sentenca! Danke!
Woo! Thanks
You bet!
Thanks so much for the lesson. I always sing in chest voice but I find it hard to transition into mixed or head voice. When I do your scales I can do them all even up to c# , what would you suggest now? Do I just practice and practice the bratty technique as often as possible and then this should train my voice? Thanks!
Hi sir should I push my stomach forward when the high notes come?
when you sing out, the diaphragm naturally pushes the lower abdomen out a bit, but it should not be forced
So, I cant get into falsetto at all.
I could before.
And my body has forgotten how to.
Help.
The chords are probably swollen. Give it time
Or you have voice nodules.
thank you ross from friends
you're welcome!!
You still aren't explaining how your voice is staying connected, just because you make that nay nay sound,doesnt reassure that the chords will stay connected. it just sounds like a way to disguise when you" suddenly" switch from m1 to m2, if I am wrong about that, please explain how its done in a more detailed explanation. Thanks
Hey Rick, great question! You're absolutely right. Just because someone sings a bratty nay nay, this does not ensure that they will stay connected to mode 2 (or head voice/middle voice/mix voice whatever the heck you wanna call it). Different voices may need different approaches. This is one that I feel works best for the most people and is something most folks can do at home.
Anytime you're switching from a TA dominant M1 to a more CT dominant M2, there is some binary switch that happens in the laryngeal structure. With the bratty sound, we're thinning the folds so that they are already thinning out for that switch. In effect, we're helping the folds thin to the destination structure. EVERYONE has a switch, but in the words of Ken Bozeman, "If you don't hear the switch, does it really matter?"
Puberty hit 115 people like a city bus
hmmm
@@ramseyvoicestudio in all seriousness, this video is amazing and is already helping! Thank you!
I'm glad
Same as "speech-level singing" course NAY NAY NAY exercise, correct?
Should I raise my larynx? For this Ney Ney sound
This is so true! My vocal teacher just calls it twang! Some voices naturally also have more twang than others. Fx Ed sheeran uses twang a lot
Yeah Guitar Tricks. Many different names for the same effect: necessary twang, edge, ring, ping, bratty, ugly, pharyngeal... It all amounts to the same thing: getting the vocal folds to thin out for your high notes, while still vibrating effectively. THAT'S what creates those awesome high notes.
Thoughts on vaping? (Nicotine and/or CBD)
YOU ARE TOO GOOD :)
Thanks Kabir. I tried to make it really helpful!
Bro your so good at teaching vocals woah
Wow, thanks Laveras! That means a lot to me.
That C#5 for me still feels absolutely impossible to get to honestly. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's about as bratty at it can go.
I did this but,it's not working brother...and my throat is paining a lot....is it because I did it in a wrong way😞
yes, probably, you should never feel pain. stop for a few days, then use these tips:

@@ramseyvoicestudio thankyou so much Ramsey Brother 😊
yes, this is very important
I’m here because I want to be able to perform for instance, Forever Yours (Faithfully)
Without belting it, but without sounding quacky.
I’m a first tenor, but not like Bruno Mars and MJ, which I believe were (are) countertenors, so I can belt it, but would like to be able to sing with a more relaxed lyric quality.
What is a good exercise and technique to able to get the Steve Perry/Deen Castronovo tone ?
I have always wanted to do this, but I’m naturally better at the Jeff Buckley, Matthew Bellamy (Muse), Chris Martin, Thom Yorke style of singing which is more false cord based to my ears.
How do I hit this register with resonance and volume without having that quacky, overly squeezed sound ?
I will appreciate any tips. Thanks.
5:16 you can whip but I'm gonna Nene
its quite fun 😂😂 i love this
Actually my voice doesn’t crack. I could reach high note but i can’t control them + I can’t Do a breath control
sounds like breath control, check this out:
ua-cam.com/video/ePJImWCk1Tg/v-deo.html
I’m gonna try to explain this without sounding crazy lol. My voice doesn’t have a strained crack with higher notes most of the time after warming up but I find it always sounds so nasally and muffled when I listen back to it. Any advice to help with this? I’ve been watching your videos for some time and I definitely see improvement and want to keep practicing! Thank you!
yes, work on your vocal tone:
ramseyvoice.com/vocal-tone/
Thank you!
Based on this video and its' exercises, I feel like this scale wasn't high enough for true first tenors.
Am I just a freak of nature ? I was easily able to do the highest notes in chest without the "bratty/nasal sound".
Hey Adnap, I chose the modulations of the scale so that they'd fit most voices. I'm sure you CAN sing higher. I just kept it so basses and baritones could join in the fun! Thanks for watching
Cool but can you do it without falsetto
Yes. : )

Terrific, man.

No matter what I do, when I hit that high note, my voice gets breathy, cracky and loses that twang. I have no idea what I am doing which causes this...
Hey Taurui, it's possible that you have some tension in your voice and this exercise is too much for you. Here's a new video with 15 exercises for those high notes. Try doing the lip trill, ng, Gee and Mum in the last section and let me know what works: ua-cam.com/video/cYqQ6ymdI38/v-deo.html
Hello sir!! How many hours should I spend vocalizing everyday?
sam smith isnt singing high notes in headvoice. Hes pulling his chest voice, called mixed voice. Example Stay with me, every high note is nearly in mix.
Absolutely Gino. While I'm not sure I would say he's pulling chest (really he's actually a lot lighter than that), I totally agree Sam Smith sings with a mix. Thanks for your comment!
Not pulling chest
Agreed Squeaker!
Sam Smith is a one trick pony, who sounds like he sings in falsetto constantly, and frankly sounds garbage. I can't stand him...
I think its called belting ?
Hi sorry I’m abit confused by your video haha and I really want to try your exercises out, I’m a male with a tenor voice and idk why but I always goes into falsetto fairly quick I can sing high but when it goes higher I feel like even barritone can hit what I hit with falsetto with chest voice and it’s kinda annoying. Anyways when I do the neh neh neh, as I go higher, do I use falsetto or purely chest voice
Hey Zhiyong, great question! You're trying to find a MIX with this exercise. Not just chest, not just falsetto: a mix. I would try to sing the notes in a "bratty" falsetto voice and see if you can get some more power that way. Make sure to read this closely: ramseyvoice.com/how-to-hit-high-notes/
Politically correct terminology note: this works for both typically male and typically female vocal types, of which any gender may have either.
thanks
Thanks Ellenor. I'm now making a video for teaching trans people that uses this updated terminology.
Didn’t work for me. Cracks through. I think you have to already know how to get to a nice falsetto in order for this to work.
exactly. you can't do a kickflip if you dont know how to a ollie on a skateboard
I’ve viewed similar exercises but somehow, my falsetto is “automatic” IDK. Like, I can reach high notes by pulling my chest voice (as high as C#5) which I’ve done with a very unhealthy mix. But doing this exercise, I stuck to falsetto :( Maybe because I got too used to it that it even expanded all the way down to B2 (A2). Sucks :/
Hey I Do, gotcha. Yes, it's possible that the tension of the "bratty" sound of this video is too much for you. I have a new video with tons of different exercises that are a bit more relaxed: ua-cam.com/video/cYqQ6ymdI38/v-deo.html
I would actually try the ones at the end, especially the lip trill, ng, and Mum.
Hello, is it normal to not be able to reach the notes the first time doing it? What I mean is, even with the bratty sound, might it take a few weeks of practice to hit the F4 and F#4 notes?
Hey Jacob, of course it's totally normal for those notes to take some time. You can find out a bit more about how to sing through your bridge here: ramseyvoice.com/singing-techniques/
I have had vocal training decades ago which gave me the basic fundamentals of breathing, scales, pitch etc... I have always had a very wide range on the scale with my voice and never had a problem with projection. I am not a professional by any means but I do love to sing. I have found that within the last year I am having issues with not being able to hit high notes all the time. My voice will literally cut out and not allow me to hit the high note and my voice will come right back as soon as I come down the next octave Then I am becoming hoarse after singing only a few songs. I stupidly did smoke for 5 years but have quit. The funny thing is I never had issues with my voice during the time I did smoke. I quit over 2 years ago and this is just now starting to become an issue. How do I fix this?! Or should I see an ENT for evaluation
One thing I don't get: why when someone sings a F4 the actually corresponding pitch on the piano is F3? For example if you sing the middle C, you'd say you've singed a C4 while on the piano is a C3
Hey NAT, middle C on piano actually IS C4. I think it's possible that you're playing the notes an octave lower than you're singing. It's pretty common. If it helps, here's a piano diagram: www.harmoniumnet.nl/klavier-keyboard-ENG.html
@@ramseyvoicestudio thanks very much for the information. Yeah actually I've be thought that in fact... then the problem should be in my DAW which is Ableton Live, I saw a chart., C4 should be around 260 Hz right? When I play a sine wave at 260 Hz and look in the spectrum it says C3..., I'll fix this with the Ableton guys, thanks to you I've excluded any mistake in my music theory thank you very much!
You got it NAT!
So where should basses start with the scale? The baritone start point is quite high for me
The same place. I'm starting all men around Bb2 which should be fine for starting the 1.5 octave scale.
On the octave repeat scale, I'm usually starting around F#3 which is still within the easy range for most basses/baritones.
Thanks to listening to that voice-crack my keyboard is now covered in tea
. Great tutorial btw
