7:27 Aaron demos Meatloaf sound versus Freddie sound
8:33 Aaron on dogmas and how CVT is dogma-free.
9:48 Getting started with CVT. The app
11:08 how CVT is divided - 3 overall principles, the vocal modes, sound colours, effects, then all the other stuff.
11:55 Aaron's Support game.
14:15 Necessary Twang. Quack.
15:30 Twang often gets confused with Nasality.
16:34 Not protruding the jaw and lips.

19:49 the vocal modes are NOT the same as chest/head/mixed voice.
20:20 What is Metal?
23:32 Vowels set up the modes.
25:00 The metallic modes should never be airy/breathy
26:18 Sound examples for each mode.
28:10 every mode has rules that we need to respect otherwise we end up changing mode or get stuck
30:20 Sound Colour
31:18 Vocal Effects
34:45 Vibrato training in CVT
38:04 how to practice with CVT
Thank you :)
Da mvp! 🙋🏻♂️🙏🏻
21:13 non-metallic vs metallic sound
23:37 vowels play a very important role in CVT
23:56 neutral to overdrive
24:13 neutral to curbing
38:36 39:50 the 21 steps
Could you do a video on Curbing? The vowels of Curbing, especially. They used to be IH O UH, but now they seem to be OO O UH. Why the change? Curbing is RD Edge, so IH should be possible in it. It used to be.
Can someone explain me how high i can go with curbing and if curbing is the same as cry mode and mix voice?
I worked on a few exercises for a couple years without really singing songs I wanted it to be like how I learned to read Japanese. I studied the kana 6 hours a day and could read it fluently after about a year. Singing on the other hand was different. It's twang that allows not to strain cause it amplifies the voice greatly. I built it on Phoo and Muh. Those two where a life savor.
do you mean it took more than a year for you to learn twang and benefit from it>
Thank you for all informations, you explanations are clears for a french quebec understanding 🙂
It's great that there are finally good CVT videos out there💪
a similar detailed video on density would be awesome! Love the format with two different singers performing the same examples. It makes the demonstration of the technique more audible. Thanks :-)
Fantastic to see you doing well in Germany 🇩🇪 Aaron, all the best from Perry #1999SVC
99 likes right when I saw this, very satisfying to hit that like button, hehe.
Nice introduction to the method, thanks guys!
Great info , CVT is an amazing technique, just super!
Great! Good luck, guys! 💙
Awesome!! ❤🌷
Great info thank you Sinatra and Crosby, what mode would u guys say that they were in?
This was soooo good!
Thank you. would you recommend buying the CVT app?
Absolutely! Lots of great info in there
Could you guys do a video on the differences between metal and density? Those two confuse the hell out of me. I know that both refer to different sound qualities of a tone and that density happens on the level of the vocal folds and metal is influenced by air pressure, the vocal folds and twang, but still... My (probably faulty) theory is that they both increase with more activation in the TA muscle/ more surface area of the vocal folds connecting.
Could you guys maybe do a video on how to actually practice with CVT? I can't seem to find any exercises or practice routines anywhere.
You can find some tips for practicing in this video where we talk about the "21 steps".
The actual scales that you use are really not that important and I would say that the simpler the scale the better. The aim is technical precision, not so much performing a really intricate scale with a thousand notes. It's much more interesting and rewarding to work on a difficult song if you're at that stage.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of prerecorded practice routines. They will just storm on regardless of whether you completed the previous iteration great or really poorly and that seems like a really good way to strengthen bad technical habits. Instead, I would take those scales and perform them in your own tempo, stopping to correct the issues when they occur. You can find many free piano apps to get pitch reference for your exercises.
Here are some simple exercises I'd suggest:
- single notes (seriously! I know it's not the most fun, but practicing single notes is a great way of working on centering the modes)
- three note scales - for example, in C major that would be C-D-E-D-C and then moving up and down in half steps
- five note scales - for example, in C major that would be C-D-E-F-G-F-E-D-C and then moving up and down in half steps
- octave scales - for example, in C major that would be C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C and then moving up and down in half steps (CAUTION: Octave scale can be too technically challenging for beginners as it covers a wide range)
- song melody - taking a part of the melody of the song you're working on, but taking out the lyrics and practicing just on a single vowel or later on vowel combinations. Again, move it up and down in pitch!
Neutral, Overdrive and Edge is easy to access. But curbing and reduced density OD and Edge feels more of a balance esp. to higher pitches 😧 is it normal?
That is largely individual! Our habits, ie what we do the most often, is what determines what we're gonna find easier.
So, yes - it is normal! And no - it's not universal for everyone :)
Also, if that's the direction you want to go in, you can practice it and make it easier in time.
@@RockVoxYT thank you very much ☺
I was wondering, why isn't edge just a sound color of overdrive? isn't just m1 + super twang?
Hi Natanael! All modes can be M1! Neutral is the only mode that's possible in M2, but there's also M1 Neutral.
The CVT term for M2 is Falsetto Neutral. All the other CVT modes are exclusively M1.
With that out of the way, there are a couple differences between Edge and Overdrive other than the sound color. They work with different vowels and Overdrive has a pitch limit which is not there for Edge.
@@RockVoxYT Thanks for the answer, guys! Everyday that I thought i've understand the method i got shocked with some info like that. Need to read more the app. You're goats
Other than possibly getting tagged with a copyright strike. How come the songs used in the neutral examples weren't used in the different modes? I Can't really tell a difference in sounds. Nice that Aron did it with his comparison of meatloaf vs Mercury's sound since I am assuming they were at similar pitches.
We might do something like that in the future. But generally we were picking phrases that sound good in a given mode where the mode suits the character of the song and the line requires minimum vowel modification to fit into that mode.
See if these subjective descriptions make sense to you as you listen back to the mode examples:
Neutral - soft
Curbing - restrained/held back
Overdrive - clear and shouty
Edge - clear and sharp
@@RockVoxYT thanks okay edge and overdrive don't yet stick out to me. Since I am currently focusing on "volume". But great to have the subjective descriptions
I've noticed that CVT folks don't often talk about false fold compression...not officially anyway. What do you guys think about it?
I guess it's too nerdy for most singers :)
But go to the CVT research site and you can find some things. You'll find that ventricular fold approximation is a common laryngeal gesture for metallic modes. Of course, we use a lot of it when doing distortion.
I know Estill and some other methods like to talk about ventricular fold retraction, but most scientific papers I've read on belting suggest a narrow ventricular space in that configuration. I do find the Estill figure helpful though, so it could either be that it accomplishes a slightly different thing or maybe just helps to not overdo the narrowing.

@@RockVoxYT Thank you :) I'll check those both out. I find it to be such a core part of rock vocals, it surprises me that it's not featured more!
This is a very nice demonstration! I kind of noticed that you didn't mention flageolet. Would you say practicing that helps the metallic modes?
Flageolet is not currently a CVT term. It used to be in the past, but it has been abandoned. I think there are various interpretations of the term and I would say that in most cases it's not directly helpful for metallic modes.
Where in Germany are you based?
Aaron is in Dortmund
I can do more than 53 seconds... am I a freak? XD
Yes! :D
But an awesome freak! My personal max is 80 seconds, but after training it.
Ivan
@@RockVoxYT I'm probably doing it wrong xD
@@flaze3 Probably not! You're holding it for a long time, so you're obviously doing something right :)
Train vibrato? You should never "train vibrato", it should be a natural byproduct of good singing technique.
Thank you for your comment! Many roads can lead to the same destination. There are many singers with great technique that use almost no vibrato in the contemporary genres. Also, it's absolutely possible to train and develop a nice vibrato.
I have done it myself. I've had no vibrato at all while I was starting out and then I deliberately trained it to a point where it does indeed feel natural and like I'm doing nothing, but that's just because it's been stored in my muscle memory.
I don't hear many people walking around talking with a vibrato and we can't claim that they've all got terrible speech technique. That points towards vibrato being a learned behavior for singers.
Cheers,
Ivan
