In my opinion it is not the online medium that is the limitation. If a teacher is able to listen right and identify the root problem, the medium is not a barrier. I have been teaching online for a decade and helped several students fix their vocal technique.

@@VoxGuru yes i also sing lower octave. c# is my scale and i daily practice 3 sptak mandra, madhay, and taar saptak and i also easily sing lower octave c# 2year is complete learning classical And thanks for replying me❤❤❤❤❤
When I try to sing high notes some times my voice sinks... Orelse it goes like a very sharp melody voice.... Is it my singing of the high note is crt....? I'm havi'n a doubt... 🤔
Namaskar Mam,zo beautifully you explained. Thanks.I wish to add that sometimes due to some other reason also voice becomes shaky in higher notes. If we make the posture straight it really helps siging in high notes.
So, nice of you. As a matter of fact, as you mentioned, no one was there to guide me about head voice, years back, when I opted for BA Music. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete it till today, because of this issue. Recently, my teacher, whom I met after several years, taught me to use my head voice. Now, I have started to practise again. I hope that one day I will be able to sing excellently.
But I don't have a voice at all..Madame.. Great tips..Tiruvilaysal Sivaji Madiri..Nammaku Talakizhe ninnu Tanni kudichu paatum Sangitamum Varale.. Hum Punyam illai
You are doing a wonderful job on teaching how to mix and blend chest voice and head voice properly. This technique is what exactly needs to be taught to anyone who is learning Indian classical music.
I like your analogy of "hitting the note" it really added to the clarity of what to observe. I took a singing class once at my community college, and our teach taught us to use the yawn method to I was surprised how significant a difference it made! Great video.
You are a great teacher.I had some singing ability from the young age but no body taught me these things.Nor did I learnt on my own.I remained a bath room singer. But no regrets.I love good singing and I love your videos. In my old age,now I realise why there is a need for good Guru. You are excellant Guru.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I started singing in choir and I was so disappointed that I can’t take high notes as others and I used to sing in this other voice but comes out feeble without power.. still struggling but this is a great video addressing this problem.. thanks.. I still don’t know how to bring power to this head voice. Hence once I tried really hard to hit high note with my chest voice and my voice cracked and lost my entire voice for couple of days.. I was so sad after this.
May be training would help but in the end,not every voice can be trained for singing.That is the reason why not every one is a singer.Beyond a point if things don't improve,stop training and enjoy others singing.Should not feel bad. Or we may restrict ourselves to the range that we are capable of singing.
@@gangadharhiremath7306 ha ha don’t get me wrong. I have led many singing sessions within my vocal range and had lot of good feedbacks. I only have problem with high notes.. sometimes I get to manage with asking people to adjust my microphone settings.. so singing is my strong point but would be effortless if I get a bit of guidance.
Adding Your experience makes the Concept easier to understand.......Nice work🙂 , you may not even know How it help a Financially poor person to Learn singing Easier with some Tricks , Keep Rocking 😉......Eagerly Waiting for your Experience of Singing from the Stomache🙂
But when I'm making the yawning sound and singing I'm feeling like I'm singing with my false voice. How to differentiate between head voice and false voice?
Falsetto is a relatively thinner sound which has more air coming along with the voice. If your head voice is strong and resonant that will gradually start sounding natural and will get blended with your other registers. But if you are constraining your breath during head voice and bringing out the thinner, airier falsetto that may sound unnatural.
Could you explain the difference between the head voice and false voice a bit more ? For the longest time I also used to think that they are the same and have always felt guilty about using the head voice while singing hindustani classical, even though that meant cracking my voice completely just after 30 minutes of practising the high notes. I have always been discouraged to use that thin voice and use the more open chest voice instead. I used to think that it is the limitation of my vocal range that I can't reach those high notes with my chest voice with ease and that I need more practice to achieve that. It is reassuring to know that using the head voice in indian classical is not a sin.
False voice (falsetto) is more of an airy and breathy sound which is used in a different context primarily in western music. Head voice on the other hand is more powerful with a richer timbre. However when you are initially trying to find your head voice, you may end up singing in this breathy tone which is why some people find it unnatural. But it's important to keep working through this until you find your complete head voice. Until then it's okay even if it sounds breathy for a while. But at any cost, don't let your voice get strained or cracked by forcing the chest voice on the full range. Remember, the biggest stalwarts of classical music actively use the head voice and the thin tone can be heard in their renditions. Infact it is that tone that helps achieve effortless singing and a pleasant sound. Try to observe and imbibe that along with the technique I have mentioned here.

The more I listen to you, the more I want to have more of you. One of the best suggestion that you had shared, thank you for letting us easy approach towards musical goal. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this. I struggle with this as I feel my voice is a base voice and hitting high notes sounds harsh. I’ll explore this technique . Thank you!🙏
This is the biggest problem in both Hindustani music and carnatic music. I am a singer and I have been learning both styles for years together. Most gurus pick the wrong shruthi or wrong sur for a student to sing and this puts lot of strain on the voice which isn't good. And as a result, the student struggles. The student either ends up shouting and screaming to reach high notes or is struggling to reach high notes. This is exactly what happens. It doesn't matter how many alankaras, swaravali exercises is practiced in carnatic music or how many sargam exercises or alankars is practiced. Each one of us has a limited range in the voice and sometimes singing in thara sthayi in carnatic music or in taar saptak in Hindustani music in full chest voice is just not possible for prolonged periods of time. My Hindustani guru always recommends me to do my riyaz(sadhakam) in a comfortable sur ( comfortable shruthi)and to sing whatever raags I have learnt in my comfortable sur. (I usually sing in sur A for Hindustani music and shruthi G for carnatic music). My Hindustani guru, usually when she gets a new student, she will first test out their range and see how high and how low they can go. ( If it's a female student it's usually Khali chaar or Khali paanch) and if it's a male student it's usually Khali ek and Khali dho) ( So black 4, black 5, black 1, or black 2 on the harmonium) In carnatic music, females usually sing shruthi G, G sharp and very rarely A. Males, usually sing, C, C sharp, D or D sharp Here most gurus assume that the selected shruthi will work for the student. But that is not always the case. It's a good idea to first test out the range of the student first and see how high and how low the student can go and then decide on the shruthi. Of course, it can always be changed and modified.
U can teach anything dear,I am stunned by your capacity,superb explanation👌👌👌🌹🌹I use head voice for singing,not while speaking ,my relatives doubted my singing posts ,they asked for videos, I did send them😂❤
I learned to sing in high notes easily without shouting, just by listening, observing, and learning from the songs of the greatest and the most melodious Bollywood singer of all time, Muhammad Rafi Sahab. Listen to him and you will learn a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It s taken 5 years. I understood, the break, the voice projection from different place. But am still struggling in avroh singing, esp. Where the break is.
I strained and struggled exactly the way you showed at the very beginning, Pratibha. Then came the European concept of singing 'falsetto'. Accepting that caused a real impediment. Without anyone ever saying I should, I stopped singing and listening to tuneful melodies. Music was a cherished hobby till then. Now I hope to correct my misconception, practice well and enjoy singing once again. Very grateful ❤, Pratibha. Thank you 🙏🏾. It is an answer to a prayer.

That is not recommended as the chest voice cannot handle your entire vocal range. It will likely lead to a lot of strain. Using of all vocal registers is important for good vocal health.

I also find learning online has its limitations. Not all teachers hear the difference in me using head and shouting voice.

Is the head voice also called our second voice? If not then is there anything called a second voice.
The term ‘seconds’ is usually used to refer to harmonies or alternate parts. So it is a musical word but does not mean head voice 😊
