    Hi!
    I've been working on this for the past 2 weeks plus the time to properly research for the clips and everything so sorry for not being so active.
    I like how this turned out, I'm proud of it. I'm planning to do one for belting (women). I have most of the notes, but now it's just editing + downloading the clips and that one is going to take a while, in other words I'm exhausted already! Haha (I appreciate suggestioms thanks lol)

    Man, I miss my Eb6 and above 😭
    Something happened to my voice 2 and a half years ago and it’s still a mystery as to what happened, because while I gained SOME of that extension back, even that isn’t as comfortable and clean as it used to be and I can’t sing up there for too long or I’ll blow out my voice for the rest of the day…I HATE IT

    • @jenniferhiemstra5228
      @jenniferhiemstra5228 2 роки тому

      @@ian1856 I would agree more wholly with this, except it happened pretty suddenly at the time…I was dealing with the worst cycle of insomnia I’d ever had so rarely had a voice to use at all that summer thanks to a severe lack of sleep. So when the insomnia finally calmed down again, I figured I should take it slow getting back on the vocal horse so to speak. Sadly it was gone and never came back in its fullness, and I’d never really had trouble with that stratosphere before that.
      Not that I disagree with you per se, I slightly tend to sing from my throat anyway, so I’m constantly reminding myself to breath from the good ol’ diaphragm and even after all that work since then, getting that extension back is at a standstill and still feel vocal fatigue when I sing classical soprano for too long, WOOF. I can only surmise my voice just…shifted.

    This was quite impressive, how you found, identified and edited together all these high notes! That being said, I have to be That Guy and mention a few places I think were a little off:
    0:43 Liz Calloway's note here is a C5, not a C#5
    2:50 Shanice William's first held note is a D#5, then her second moves up to the F5 you have labeled
    6:40 This one's a bit more debatable, but based on the key signature as well as how the note was sung I'd pin Donna Murphy at an Aflat5 rather than an A5
    Still, overall this was great and I very much enjoyed it, thanks for making it!

      That B6 is not head voice. Flageolet. The highest head note recorded (overall by any singer) that I know of is a Bb6 by Chrylyn Bell-Myers and she has an abormally high voice. If you listen to her Bb6 and compare it to Shoshana's B6 you'll hear a difference.
