    Our vocal cords, our mouth, tongue jaw etc was designed to speak and we can all sing, but some of us not well. Our ears hear our voice and our brain tells us what we hear. That is the gift humans are given. Those same humans are now changing this wonderful gift into a horrible machine that is artificial and ugly. Our voice is a beautiful gift. Some of us do not have a voice, or cannot hear it, they have machines/computers to give them a voice. Only man could think a mechanically altered human voice is a good idea.

    Any good or great singer sometimes will ask a piano player to play a certain note to they can attune to that note, especially if they were going to do an impromptu performance. This person in the video needs to understand that sound is measured in soundwaves using a tool with a microphone (to turn sound into an electrical signal), some software/hardware (to turn that signal into data) and a screen (to display the data. The two tools to use to accomplish this are an oscilloscope or a phone with a frequency recording app as she was doing in the video.
    If a singer today is only concentrating on hitting or being close to the note they want to sing to sing in tune, then that will remove any expression that the voice would normally produce when they sing.

    Fil, great video and you explain this well. To give you a warning I am an electrical engineering professor and I only say that as a warning that my explanation here will be boring. A pure tone is a sound wave at one frequency. Your pitch monitoring software plots the pitch frequency on a y axis. A human voice produces sound at a pitch frequency by modulating that pitch around a range of frequencies that show up quasi-periodic waves with amplitude variations on the y axis and a quasi-period on the x-axis. The vocal cords create physical movement in a periodic fashion to create this modulation and that is what makes the human voice unique and beautiful. This instagram is confusing that with wave behavior and as you show by zooming in, even the auto-tuned voice of someone intentionally trying to 'hold it to the line' still has modulated behavior. Pitch correcting software, when it makes the pitch 'bang to the line' de-humanizes the voice and frankly makes it sound weird. Thanks for isolating vocals to show us this. If this pitch correction movement continues we might as well just listen to a melodica as opposed to a human voice.

  • @heatherrohde6541

    I felt that she was speaking more about strength of the voice. If your voice isn't at all robust, it can waver wildly and not sound in pitch.

    • @tulelazule6914
      @tulelazule6914 2 місяці тому

      electronic tuners calibrate & divide the pitch into 100 ´cents'
      all people and most instruments have some audible vibrato
      ****ACTUALLY it is not about strength of voice that is at issue----It is about
      an auditory function.
      To sing without STRAYING from the pitch :
      hear your tones in your mind's ear first
      then sing. (you dont toss a basketball first, then try to guide it along with your hand)
      dont search for the tones with your "throat". Usually It's too late at that point.
      the undesireable "wavering" is someone trying to aim & self-correct after they're already producing a tone
      this like trying to play darts or hopscotch but you forgot to aim.
      You can't use your EYES to sing or use a feedback mechanism (whilst singing) that registers AFTER you have already produced the tone.

  • @sinenkaari5477
    @sinenkaari5477 2 місяці тому +7

    I think she might be talking about when you don't have a strong anchor point for your voice you tend to have this longer pitch wave to your voice couse you don't know / feel / hear where the notes are and you drift in and out without control so it helps if you find a way to stay steady. I had a friend who had voice like that and he would go easily 50 cents sharp when singing louder and flat when singing more quiet. It had this uuuuAAAaaaaa... like long wave to it. My advise for him was to try to play the melody on guitar and try to hear the notes and sing with the guitar

    Thanks Fil for the breakdown of this vocal coach instructional video. I loved how you explained the natural abilities of the human voice with regard to creating sound, especially when you mentioned that the human voice sings in waves. In a way, it was refreshing to hear something that wasn’t pitch corrected. I myself have utilized voice apps to aid in my own voice and singing on key. I’ve noticed the waves happening when I’m singing vibrato and the app will go slightly sharp, slightly flat or “Perfect” and I’m thinking, “Okay I guess I’m getting somewhere.” Claude Stein teaches workshops on “The Natural Singer.” I’ve attended several of them, including a week long retreat workshop.

    One confusing thing is that the term "tuning" in singing just means singing in tune as accurately as you can, and has nothing to do with modern artificial pitch correction or auto-tune. Vocal coaches who are also opera singers sometimes use the term "tuning", probably because they use other terms like "resonance tuning" and "formant tuning" in opera - but when they say something is "well tuned", they are most likely just saying that the relative pitch of the notes of a passage or run is good. I think this person was just using the word "wavy" to mean all over the place, or unstable.

    The term she's looking for is "vibrato". And vibrato is just microshifts in pitch that are very much part of Western (and many others) musical performance practice. Telling someone to sing without vibrato, tho...usually, that results in a weird, forced sound that sounds utterly unnatural. Kind of like Autotune, but really annoying since vibrato is a natural feature of the human voice. It's bad enough when a voice gets hard-tuned, but "DIY hard-tuning" just sounds bad.
    What's confusing here is that the person who posted this "advice" just says "singing in waves". And this could be just pitch (as shown by the pitchsquigglies), or it could be tremolo, meaning a periodic and cyclical change in volume. On an oscilloscope, that looks like "waves".
    But ONE thing I know from years of study and performance in voice (about as close to a synth as academia was willing to tolerate 30-40 years ago) is that I was NEVER told to not "sing in waves".
    Perhaps the poster would enlighten us with which particular "waves" she means here... because her argument falls apart because she's using the wrong descriptive/technical term. And we're just as in the dark as you, Fil.

She had gone profoundly deaf as a teenager, but then taught herself to sing using a tuner and learning the "muscle memory" of how it felt to sing each pitch. The result was very impressive indeed.

  • @MarkusKaarlonenMusic
    @MarkusKaarlonenMusic 2 місяці тому

    Just to clarify things a bit, since there’s some potentially confusing terms and explanations both in the original reel and this video.
    It’s true that vocal cords produce sound by vibrating, and sound travels as longitudinal waves through the air (or other medium). However, that is a completely separate issue from if the _pitch_ of a tonal sound has vibrato / waves / fluctuations, or not.
    From the viewpoint of physics, the pitch of any sound can be 100% steady and perfect, regardless of its source (human, digital piano, etc). It’s not like we are always going to find some small magical waves if we just zoom close enough in the pitch monitor. Sound _does_ look like waves when we look at it in an oscilloscope, but this is a different tool, and should not be confused with analysing and plotting the pitch of a sound.
    All sounds are produced by something vibrating and moving the air and creating sound waves, and if this something vibrates at a steady rate, the pitch of the resulting sound is also going to be 100% steady. With any natural human voice, there will of course always be some imperfections (or “waves” or vibrato etc.) in the pitch, but this is not in any way caused by the fact that vocal cords vibrate to produce sound, or that sound propagates as waves - it’s because humans are humans, and we just can’t vibrate our vocal cords at a 100% steady rate.

    She should had said sing on pitch... a pitch is a wave and why it can be measured in hertz such as A=440hz, that's a wave vibrating 440 times a second.
    All the same there are times on near every instrument (obviously can't on a pipe organ) that you may want to slide or alter out of semi-tone pitches and back again (like vibrato) or maybe quarter-tone bends for instance. i.e. every single good blues song does that iow... not a b5 or a #4 but a wavering somewhere in between those.
    Take the Locrian mode 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 add more sliding and quarter-tone bends into it and you'll be able come up with some really great melodic phrases which sound very middle-eastern.

    So, here's what I think ... back in the day, 30/40/50 years ago and beyond, voices sounded better because they were naturally good and people knew this because they actually heard music with their ears. Today, people see music with their eyes and feel the need for "voices" to be on the lines. This has led to modern recordings sounding robotic and all the same, with the pervasive use of pitch correction making the voice devoid of any artistic expression or emotional storytelling. Now, if people don't even understand how vocal chords work, fundamentally, then we may have already lost the battle today in support of real voices over fake voices ...

    I think she’s just chosen some really confusing language to describe what she means. When she says “waves”, I don’t think she means sound waves. She means (I presume) excessive fluctuation of pitch.

    Ah normal service had resumed. 😃 It sounds like this is a very early lesson.
    If you just make a noise with you're voice its a sound wave. BUT I think she might mean the waves are drifting over a large range. BUT we have seen vibrato over range over 3 full notes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Trchnically, a digital piano does create waves, as its speaker cone is vibrating. To support Fil's point that, sound is frequency waves, in the air striking our ear drums, and transfering those vibrations to the bones in our ears.

    I'm probablly wrong, (not the first time this hour), but something in my ear or my head is telling me that she is referring to uncontrolled vibrato. when she refers to vibrating vocals. Otherwise, what she is saying is kind of hard to figure out

  • @elvwood

    It is the natural variations in the sound wave of the human voice that gives it's individuality and beauty.
    Maybe there's a danger that if younger people become so used to the sound of pitch corrected and/or autotuned vocals that they will think the goal is to emulate that sound naturally, that the artificially altered sound is superior.

    This is interesting, because there are some singers who are/were notable for not using vibrato EG the late Kirsty MacColl. But there must have been SOME vibrato, just not a very obvious vibrato.

    I had to watch this twice.
    I don’t think she understands the right words to use. She’s very confusing.
    Does she mean “scales” when she says “waves”? Scales are for vocal practice without words.
    I still don’t know what she means by “waves” (because “sound waves” are how sound travels).

    What she really meant to say or should have said, is if your pitch wanders up or down from the correct pitch... That reminds me of a joke someone made a long time ago. He told a guy his hair was starting to wave -- It is? -- Yes, it is starting to wave goodbye.

  • @SimonJM

    I suspect she meant waves as in 'wild' variations or flutters in pitch and/or volume, not the actual sound waves themselves. Either that or she is a T-1000 from the future and John Connor should start running for cover! 😁

"That was a bit pitchy..." Saying someone is "pitchy" means NOTHING! That's like saying "You're a little soundy."

    This has a lot to do with the lead guitarist following the singer, but as I keep telling people the singer is the in continuity ( like the B string on their guitar) of a band.
    Yes I understand that the lead guitarist has a hard time but if you want it to sound good then your going to have to keep up and understand that the lead guitarist can also express themselves in the same way ( where we get guitar solos from ).

    Vocal coach here is misleading and quite pointless except to say, try and sing in tune.
    concert pitch is normally A = 440 hertz, which surely is a frequency and other notes are different frequencies which is the time between waveforms or am i totally wrong?

  • @icaanul
    @icaanul 2 місяці тому

    When she said "singing in waves" I felt like throwing a fit. The vocal chords stretch and the vibrations cause the pitch and ability to vocalize. Vibration will cause the variation or "waves." It's just how the body works and it would be impossible to sing without waves since your chords HAVE to vibrate to generate sound and pitch. Even false chords are vibrating.

  • @johnwatson2887

    To her, "singing in waves" means your voice WAVERS and can't stay on the same pitch. My mother always complained that the reason today's singers do so many "runs" is because they don't have the skill to hold a steady note.

    Hello sir, I am curious to know if you have heard the brother/sister band Lawrence? Sort of Tower of Power has a child with Hall & Oates and Stevie Wonder, (sort of). Check out the 'Acoustic'ish' version of Don't lose sight, if you get a chance. Seems like killer 'real' live lead vocals (Gracie) with lovely 'real live' harmony and background vocals. I hope I spelled most of the words properly. Their first proper Album (I'm Old) is called Breakfast from 2017, I think. It has the full complement of horns, keys etc. as do the live shows. The Henley tape/voice video was enlightening, thank you sir. I only listen to the Eagles because of Joe, I hope he is really playing, I don't see him faking it, so to speak, even at his age. Pun intended.

    All sound is a perturbation of the medium (air) produced by vocal chords. Without the perturbation, there's no sound.

    • @DickFrancis-dt3tl
      @DickFrancis-dt3tl 2 місяці тому +1

      Indeed, specifically sound is a pressure wave that travels through the medium. It can be caused by any vibrating object be that vocal cords, the string of a guitar, the cone of a loudspeaker or your next-door neighbour's lawn mower.

    Decent analysis. You don't sing in "waves". A sound is a waveform - square, sine, sawtooth - and has amplitude (determining how loud it is) and wavelength (determining the frequency or pitch). The examples in the reel show a frequency modulation akin to vibrato, nothing to do with waves😊

    Isn’t it the case that “sounds” don’t technically exist? It’s just an interpretation by eardrums to our brains of waves created through an atmosphere? If that’s right then the old saying about a tree in the forest falling doesn’t really make a sound unless someone is there to hear it. Or something with ears, I suppose.

    No energy, charge, photons, waves, spin, fields, potential, quantum,quarks, space, time, space- time etc. All Standard Theory/Model was replaced by Expansion Theory in 2002. Just a physics update for those interested- very few. “The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon for proper physics including the CAUSE of gravity, electricity, magnetism, light and well..... everything. Off topic? Not really; much to be learned. Otherwise carry on!
