There is a lot thrown around regarding these terms. It's also a hot point of discussion among vocalists. In this lesson, I show you how to tell what 'kind of voice' you're using, but I also make the case that it matters more how you learn to use all your 'voices' as ONE voice. Learn how to use different resonances together for a seamless, artistic and emotionally connected singing voice!
This Video is your masterpiece. That’s the most comprehensive precise depiction of the main work tools of producing sound with the human voice I have found so far on the whole internet. The go- to source for explaining how it actually works, the blends in between, everything. I’m in awe
Yeah, I think people will watch this video and go "Ooh, so that's what all the billion other vocal coaches on UA-cam were trying to say..."
Concise a.f.
@@chrisstegerean9429 like how he to struggles from time to time to show hes human and has no shame about how silly he sounds ....unorthodox and its universal without over the top technical lingo....he cares about ya
@@illfather7066 Yup. I like how he does something weird, pauses, then laughs a bit, kinda like "yeah that sounded weird - I guess I'll have a laugh at myself.".
@@chrisstegerean9429 yep, I just had that reaction
Chris, stop making such good tutorials - you're making other vocal coaches look bad.
It's because other vocal coaches just like to show off that they are good singers. This video is real teaching 🙌👌
The production of these videos are great and really make a difference. Especially when presenting the singing such that you can hear the explanations and hear the singing at reasonable volumes without having to adjust the volume because the singing is just way too loud. Just great.
@@radionowandthen I know, right? Volume difference is one of the things that always kills me when watching vocal tutorials, or videos in general; I always accuse UA-camrs of not knowing what a compressor is. Thankfully, I can listen to Chris while preparing a snack, without having my neighbors think someone's dying in my appartment.
hahahahahaahahah!!
Chris don't listen to Chris, you are one master coach who is totally free to self to express anything at its best.. not all own dis quality man... Great tutorial ever seen on difference of vocal throw out.... Very professional you are 😍
Me: I cant do it. It's too difficult. I cant
Chris: "Do a mickey mouse"
Me: Okay done
As Ken Tamplin said, what makes a vocal coach good is the ability to demonstrate what they're saying. This is an awesome video
Yes, except he sounds forced on a lot of his covers because he sings out of range. Also don't believe that "My tongue is so relaxed that is why it elevates" 98% in the history of GOOD singing never done that.
ok boomer
@@vegeta1885 because he has a low voice. he is a barritone.
@@biswasronit High baritone.
@@vegeta1885 No way man, Tamplin brings it also. It's OK for there to be more than one good music teacher or methodology in the world, it won't hurt you.
Damn I wish we have a soundproof room in our house here it's embarrassing that my neighbors can hear me screeching and shouting
Just get to know your neighbors and make them a part of your experience! That’s what I had to do when I was in a one room apartment... it was a really healthy thing to do on several levels!
@@chrisliepe I have the same problem, I can sing on a stage with the band noise and people who is there to listen. But in my house I can't practice, because I feel ashamed, I feel too exposed. This hurts me very much, because I can't study and be better. I'm too shy for it. And when I can't sing what I wish to sing because my voice can't go there yet I feel guilty. Chris, can you make a video about this? Tell us more of your experience? I guess it would help us somehow. I thought about practicing in a studio, alone, but here, in my country, the pandemic situation is absolutely dramatic, very bad situation, and we better stay at home, we don't know until when.
@@MCetd do it in your car, its what i do haha
@@theb6st99 Now that's a good idea, my friend!! I loved it. The only problem is that I just have a bike. Hehe. Now I wish I had a car. Lol. Thank you for the lovely idea anyway!
@@MCetd I struggle with this a lot as a beginner. I know I'm an okay singer but without backing (either a track or my friends playing their instruments) I feel exposed and don't want to 'subject' people to the 'noise' I make. I do have a car so and I often practice there but I'm trying to think of places I could go to practice where I can just be totally alone with my voice.
7:16 - “Micky has good closure!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m weak
At the same time, the falsetto version sounds like John Herbert from Family Guy :D
I've been singing for 8 years, never took any formal lessons (no money) and while I've made a lot of progress over the years, it was always through online vocal coaches and tutorials, and it wasn't until about year 7 that I realized I had been doing a GREAT MANY things wrong, and that's when I discovered that I had no idea what it was supposed to FEEL like when you sing correctly. The feeling, in your throat, in your stomach, your chest, is so unique that if you haven't felt it before it's incredibly difficult to know if you've got it right. When there's no one there to tell you "yes, THAT'S right," you have no real point of reference. Well, you've managed to create a set of lessons that convey your message so well through the medium that is the internet, that in simply 3-4 of your videos I was finally able to figure out what it was meant to feel like when you sing correctly, and since then, in just the last 3 weeks, I've made almost as much progress as in my last 8 years combined. So thank you immensely, and I will most certainly be checking out each and every one of your lessons!
i HAVE had lessons and my teachers never got into the technical stuff! it was all scales and just singing. I was even a paid performer and here I am realizing I had no idea what i was doing concretely! I can't wait to hone my skills!
Can you please tell me which of Chris's videos did you watch and in which order ? I mean I watch all the videos and pick up titbits but I can't figure out what to do first . (I do want to buy the course but for now I am not able to... Till then I want to make the most out of videos)
I've had lessons from teachers in uni and none of them have been as informative and really get into it like Chris Liepe does.
What things were you doing wrong before and what videos helped you out?
Falsetto + Closure = Mickey Mouse.... Falsetto + Light Closure = Michael Jackson's speaking voice
Love u man 😂😂
It immediately sounded like MJ to me too :D
16:20 - that is such a problem among male singers namely. They’re taught that chest voice is their domain above all and that they don’t have a real head voice unlike females. They then end up with overshot voices that have too much weight and a capped chest range, with a weak, hooty falsetto.
Right all of them are part of the voice the head register model chest and middle register
stop talking about me Gillian. so not cool. :P
i've had so many people say to me "but you're doing falsetto though..." as if that is something to be ashamed of
@@dudaseifert Oh my god I hate this
head voice is the MODE. falsetto is the EFFECT.
Holy crap! I've been singing for years and always struggled singing in that A4ish break. I just had this gap in my range from a few cents flat of A4 to about B4 before I switched into Rob Halford Painkiller voice at C5. Unfortunately, Rock uses those three inaccessible notes all the time. The exercise in the video was the first time I've been able to repeatedly hit those notes! I'm going to have to practice this a bit more. You're onto something here! This actually works!
So glad to hear it!!
"Don't worry about what it's called...." is what this whole video is about. For me it really break the rigidly learned rules that I had around the upper registers. Thank you! You just gave me permission to "play" with my voice by changing the variables of support, air flow and compression. Thank you for opening up my vocal world. I have no real words to express how much this blew my mind. Thank you. As Heir said below: this video is your masterpiece. Bravo.
You're so welcome Neil! I'm glad you are embracing the throwing out of terms and the embracing of experience! It will continue to chance your musical live!!
I've only just felt the differences between a falsetto, head tone, and a chesty mix, not having any vocal training at all, but this video helped me see correlations between the three and how they intersect. This is a HUGE leap from all the practice i've been doing alone! Thanks so much for this!
That’s so great to hear!! Thanks for sharing.
Chris literally talks in a mixed voice for most of his videos. That would definitely help his ability to produce sound through that area. Similar to Ariana Grandes character in Victorious. She spoke in that character voice for all those episodes, so no doubt that helped make her mixed voice very easy to access.
The best
Like Michael Jackson, too.
Wow, hadn't heard your softer side of singing, the more melodic instead of hard rock scream type. I really like it. Beautiful voice
Chris.
Thank you!
This guy is just amazing! Couldn’t find s better word to describe what he does!
Have listened a lot of vocal coach and never imagined that we could do so many things using a combination of our different voices!!
Big thanks Chris❤
This was probably one of the most insightful videos about singing technique I’ve ever seen. You created a fantastic way to show people how possible it actually is to get from “I’ll never be a great singer” to “I can learn to sing anything well enough for the effort to be worth it !”
This is absolute rock solid gold. As I sang along, my voice did things I never thought possible
Dude. When I first started experimenting with higher notes, I was so confused about falsetto vs head voice. This is a great explanation man. You rock buddy. Keep cranking out these videos!
Chris! By the time I'm writing this, I'm still watching the vid. And I MUST SAY! WHAT A WONDERFUL VIDEO QUALITY!
The quality of image, sound, scripting, video editing... Gosh! I'm so glad I've found your channel in a sea of bad content here in YT.
Thanks!! If I could double or triple "heart" this comment, I would. Thank you for appreciating the production quality and the instruction! May it bring you much inspiration in your singing :)
Exactly! Thanks to the YT random clicks!!
Chris , your are gifted not only as a singer but also as a coach . You know how to transmit your knowledge and the way you feel things . I’m so happy I once bumped into one of your tutorials for now I’m a fan of yours and I’m learning a great deal.
Thanks for engaging in the content Pat!
Me practicing Falsetto.
My Parents: 16:28
😂😂😂😂👌
Lol
exactly. i know that.
7:24
im confuse about singer doing falsetto in mid singing or head voice. i know how they do it but the sound is familiar."my English bad ik"
Very clear and practical explanation! I learned more in 20 minutes of this video than in months of vocal coaching..
Glad it was helpful!
Singing reminds me of some of the engineering courses I used to take - lots of equations to memorize - really complicated. But if you actually understand what's going on, what is really going on within the system, you can derive the equations yourself without having to memorize all the equations. This is what Chris has accomplished. Chris really pulls it together with his explanations and demonstrations, laying the foundation in easy-to-understand terms that can be derived and applied for use across all the various voices. I have studied some other singing courses, but Chris' approach is really well presented and unique, as is the production quality of his videos.
Can I quote you? :)
@@chrisliepe It's the Internet, so I figure any comments are always at risk of being quoted (or worse :). If you believe my perspective as I provided it makes sense and is useful, feel free to quote it in whole or in part.
So rare to found a vocal coach like this one! I tried to sing a lot of songs including Can You Feel the Love Tonight (Elton John), Perfect (Simple Plan), Yellow (Coldplay), Decode (Paramore), Let You Go (Jason Walker), etc.. but only end up making an instrumental of my own cause it's almost impossible to sing along with them (otherwise, i'd resort to falsetto all the time which would sound shit)
I'm a male yet i only find the female key instrumentals/accompaniments and a lower pitch comfortable for me to sing.. Male voices of original songs are so high so i compose/make my own instrumentals instead in a higher/female key and sing with head voice most of the time.. The only original songs i could sing along to without the need to change the pitch is Little Things (One Direction), Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol), Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley), Bad Day (Daniel Powter), Wrapper In Your Arms (Flyleaf) etc.. (these songs force me to go head voice and chest voice most of the time)
It’s three o clock in the morning and I’m in my room high pitch whispering (kinda) repeating whatever this man says and trying to make the same sounds. The rediculous part is it’s actually working. I have been trying to get my head and mixed voice for so long and I feel like it’s gonna happen soon mainly because of this video!!! I’ve been feeling like I’m at a point as a younger baritone that my belting is starting to hit a ceiling in terms of range atleast and if I don’t just want to be yelling in choir I might need to learn something else. I hope to join the altos soon lol. Thanks Man U are such an awesome teacher!
12:46 This is priceless. 😁 I love your videos as you demonstrate things excellently and as they are, not overly thinking if it gives a "cool" impression or builds up your ego. And it is pretty clear you really put effort in explaining things in an easily accessible way, meaning you really care about if we can get the idea and benefit from it. Really refreshing approach as many use these kind of videos mostly for marketing. Utmost respect. 🙏
The best explanation ever, thanks.
You're very welcome!
I gotta tell you, I appreciate that you're very easy to follow. You seem to choose your words carefully without any filler, you speak clearly, not too fast and not too slow, and your demonstrations are really good. This and your other videos are really helpful, thank you for your fine work!
I think this is the best explanation I have seen so far, it really opened my eyes. I thought of head voice vs. falsetto as if head voice was some complete different vocal mode, but actually, it is just head voice with few compression and a lot of air coming through.
Oh my goodness! You have the most amazing vibe and the most amazing attitude of giving and sharing! Plus, a beautiful voice!
It's so hard to find videos like this❤❤❤
Man your vocalizing with the track at the beginning and the end is awesome. Absolutely beautiful tone and sound. A feast for the ears.
You are a very good teacher ! thank you Chris!
Dude this video is amazing. You've helped unlock something in my voice + understanding. I'm suddenly singing songs I thought were completely impossible for me to sing, and actually sounding reasonably good. Thank you!!
That head voice intro was beautiful
9:57 - incredible demonstration of the transition between vocal tecnhniques. Absolutely one of the best demos I've ever seen or heard on this, in 20 years+. Great stuff.
Using the break is something I always struggled with. I learned something today. Thank you.
Thanks for good lesson. The world has become one millimeter closer to harmony, thanks to your shared discoveries.
This dude is my singing spirit animal
5:20: "It does not matter so much, we can do the same in our chest resonance". Mindblown. I wish I could listen to this hint many years ago, bravo! For singing purposes, the difference between "head voice" and "falsetto" is not so important as (too) many other vocal coaches seem to make.
"Head voice" still sounds false somehow, right? It is not where you want to settle if you seek to develop a true, full singing voice (like I did and completely got lost due to the great deal of confusing information).
Keep up the good work, I like your way of teaching!
Thanks for sharing this!!
I am so grateful that I found your channel. Thank you for another amazing video! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I have to echo alot of the comments on here Chris, you are one of the best vocal coaches on yt. You break it down and simplify it in such a way anyone can grasp your teaching methodology. Your exercises really work. Keep up the good work. I hope hope you hit the million subs mark soon. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
THIS. BLEW. MY. MIND.
I've watched thousands of videos and read twice as many explanations of how to develop mixed voice. But only THIS video really helped me develop it. Thank you so much, sir!
Glad to hear that!!
From my first day of singing till this day, I've never heard anyone bring in this perspective on how you classify voice type. This video really changes my perspective forever. I find it easier to view voice as one whole type as you suggested and start to experiment with my own voice. You are the best Chris Liepe! I can't imagine how much consideration and detail to make this teaching video. I very much appreciate it! Very lucky to have found your channel!
Your technique is really incredible! I've never sung in a mixed voice before watching this video and just trying alongside you. I will certainly be watching a lot more of what you have :)
This video really made it clear to me. Most of my choral life I was in my head/falsetto, and rarely actually went into my chest
that song at the beginning was sooo good wow!
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and you, my friend, are the real deal. I've been watching youtube vocal coaches for a number of years (never been formally trained) and you've taught and demonstrated more in this one video than any other video I've seen so far. And your not charging for all this information...really nice.
Excellent tutorial! I wasn't able to get from headvoice to mix... but you explaining the use of compression in head voice to get to mix helped so much. Thank you!!!
Wow, this is a goldmine! Amazing demonstrations and even better explanations. 👏👏
This video is so perfect in explaining how to sing in different registers and then mix them up as one full voice. Thank you so much for solving the mystery of mixed voice.
As a singer myself, I'd like to let you know your work is really outstanding. Keep up the good work!
You're just a very sympathetic and authentic person which is is also important for being a good teacher. Great videos! I'm glad UA-cam suggested me your vids! Greetings from Germany :)
Your videos genuinely give me more confidence and enthusiasm for singing
KILLED ITTTT.
Good shit, man.
Thank you again for popping in my feed. These past 2 weeks have been better than ever, I understand what's going on now 😭😭😭😭😭
I can't wait to get something going as soon as I learn how to use my guitar and sing.
The most fearless singing teacher on UA-cam - very generous tutorials. Chris do you subscribe to any particular teaching philosophy regarding singing - I know on UA-cam there is a lot of ‘sls vs bel canto’. How did you learn?
Try and error?
kipponi its Trial and Error
@@mrstarrynite7656 his incorrect comment is an example of trial and error.
@@jcee6886 ironic
Love it! I second a video about vowel modification and such. One of the concepts a lot of people talk about but there is not a lot of information online for. Like how to connect let's say A and Ee without strain, how to use vowels in high mix etc. Keep up the amazing work!
This made everything click for me! You are an amazing voice teacher and I am so thankful for your videos!!
This is absolutely amazing! Your falsetto and head voice are so powerful.
I'm so amazed on this masterpiece! and was totally shocked when you belt at 2:04, so many unexpected things. Hoping for my voice to sing like you do.
I'm seeing a lot of improvement in my singing whatching your videos. Thank you for such great work!
Chris, you are the first person I have encountered that could present that information in a way that truly made sense. The questions you answered in this video have had me stymied for years...thank you for your succinct explanation of how all the registers fit together. I accessed a part of my range tonight I didnt know I had nor did I know I could use it. A breakthrough! I cant thank you enough!
YES!!! THANK YOU! This is the video I needed. I've watched countless hours of videos like this on UA-cam, but this one is THE BEST. You explain it very, very well and demonstrate everything, so we can replicate that. You rock!
As a singer myself, I honestly think you're the best vocal coach on UA-cam. Commended. ;)
These have to be the most fun and educational voice lessons I have ever taken. Thank you so very much. The fact that you are able to explain singing in such an effortless way is a testament to how in-depth your knowledge is. Your talent and passion is inspiring. Thank you again
Till now I was searching this video for 4 hours continuously..u r the exact guy
This video was absolutely fantastic! And, just like your lastbunch of videos, they've had perfect timing for my singing journey as i've experimented with this the last few days. Thanks as always!
Im considering myself intermediate singer and i went to this audition thing for a project. I sing mostly metal/rock and it took many years to get that hard compression work fluently. When the voice teacher in the audition told me to give a falsetto, I simply couldn't do it since my body didnt remember how to do it for not singing pop for so long. I was so frustrated. This video cleared it out for me. Thank you for best instruction I've seen so far of this subject. Also the distortion video was pure gold, I could have learned it easier way I guess :D
Thank you so much Chris. I was playing with my falsetto for few days, after I watched some of your videos, in the expense of my neighbour's mental health, I figured out how to sing without straining my vocal cord! Singing has become so much easier and the sound is much powerful now! I wish I had a teacher like you when I was younger!
This was such a wonderful lesson. When I was in choir, we had a talented person teaching us but he was a absolute last minute substitute and i guess didnt have the full technical knowledge.
I've just always though the Head voice and Falsetto were different names for the same thing and that the space where you have to learn to transition from chest to head without it breaking was just called middle or mixed.
Most of everything I learned in choir was kind of based on the feeling of everything Rather than having the proper technical knowledge.
So you're explaining things like "closure," basically took something that I kind of knew by the feeling and told me how and why.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched, but I can already see you have a gift for communication and i hope to keep learning as i watch more of your videos.
Thank You!
☺
Awesome job, providing immediate examples, makes what you're saying very clear. Definitely one of the better singing videos out there.
I caught myself wanting to upvote the video and then realizing I already did 1 minute earlier lmao
That song in the beginning is crazy well sung. Has some strong Muse vibes. Beautiful.
Как называется песня ?
Muchas gracias señor. I love your teaching, I practice when I am alone or in my car.Iam 57 years old ,they think I'm to old for this.thanks to you I made a song. Thank you.
Each video of you I see make me sing better. Your work is gold. Thanks a lot.
This guy is an amazing singer and teacher! Who would give this guy a thumbs down when he is giving us the "keys to the kindom" for free?!
Wish I can sing like you. Thanks for the lessons!
Need2Retire We'll reach his level eventually! We just gotta keep experimenting :))
This guy is legit for 2020, I love singing. You give me reason to get going. Thanks bud.
Your content is pure treasure. I thought that I already know all best teachers here on YT - and yes, I did - but finally found the King :D thank you master, your real-life practice videos are awesome, I greatly appreciate
this was so fun to watch i stopped trying to learn and just started to enjoy the video aha
16:30 wow!!! That’s a good message!!
Usually tutorials that sound interesting to me are put in the "Watch later" folder.
But yours always go straight to the "Useful Lessons" folder, because I have not seen a single video on your channel that was not useful so far.
Keep up the incredible work!
Cheers from Germany :)
Alright so first of all this is probably one of the most valuable three lessons on head chest voice that you can acquire online. You have an incredible voice as well! new follower f****** awesome dude thank you for posting this, wish I would have seen it day one.
it helped me so much, thanks man
There was a time when I usually listened to Sonata Arctica. I really liked the high vocals and started figuring out how to imitate that. Eventually, a few years ago I could sing G5 and higher. I stopped practicing it (even had an operation)...
From last year I was focusing on my chest voice and the smooth transition when going higher. Noticed that although I improved, now I can't remember how to hit even E5 properly.
So, thank you for the information, this will help me to remember and become even better.
best voice teaching channel so far, keep up man!
The best vocal class I've seen ! 😊
Man , I thought your mixed voice and belting video from last week was your best . This one is even better. You produce a better one every week ? How is that even possible ?! Congratulations !!!
09:49 - that should be a ringtone !!!
Is that song in the intro and outro yours ? What is it called ? It is very beautiful !
Thanks once again ! All the best !
I really like your very well demonstrated singing lessons. As a throat overtone singer, I have learned so much for you! Keep it coming!
The single best youtube vid I have ever seen. Your are unbelievably good at what you are doing. Thx a million for this.
WHAT! A! VOICE!
I just started your free course for vocal training. And will be continuing with your heavy screaming tutorials. Hope I get to be close to as good as you are. Thank you so much for your content.
It is worth studying the voice of Dimash Kudaibergen!
He better react to dimash
Oh my, hes the best out there isn't he
This tutorial sounds like elmo and it is cute,i was trying to impersonate elmo's voice or other anime character at the same time.This helps me a lot and now i'm learning ,thank you for sharing your video!😉🙏
One of my favorite vids so far. I'm a baritone voice, and its a beautiful thing to know that I can make those sounds that you were making.
Great video man thanks so much. I have had 2 vocal coaches that couldn't answer my chest, head falsetto questions. After watching this you have confirmed and clarified some real important things for me. I intuitively understand what you are saying so it immediately has a big impact.
journey style singing next pls..
11:34 when you transition from pure falsetto through to supported head then chesty mix .... then full scale Chuck Norris.
It's possibly one of the best Videos about singing I have ever heard..took me years to find this guy.. brilliant..
This Ken Tamplin guy seems to be all over the place but I never got anything out of his vids. Your tutorials are by far the best I've ever seen.
I agree. He teases but stops short of completely explaining anything. I got more out of this one video with Chris than the dozens I've seen by Ken.
