I always wanted vocal lessons from Leonardo DiCaprio. This is awesome.
give this guy an oscar pls
DYING
Actually, it's half a lesson, my right ear feels lonely.
haha, this is what I thought too! he does look a bit like Leonardo:)
Haha. And right before this video there was a commercial for new movies on Netflix, including one with Leo in it.
Wow my left ear is really enjoying it
Ohh yes😂
hahaha I was going to say something about it. But a great class, as always.
Had to watch another vid b4 going back to this just to check is my earphones is broken
congrats on your oscar the other night btw
lmao
+Ephrem Goldstein Haha!He really looks like HIM
hah
Chloe Parker
As a vocal coach, how did you learn to speak only into my left ear?
lmaoooooo
haha..
I kept my right earphone above the ear to hear the doorbell but as you said I tried. :D 100% left panning.
Shadowlego lmao
omfg xD
My left ear enjoyed this
EirikBarbaric me too
Lmao true
This falsetto talking was fucking hilarious
My left ear enjoyed this video.
Ha! Yeah... Some of the older episodes are like this! :) -NYVC
Does anyone else think he sounds like Mickey Mouse while doing the falsetto?
I was thinking the same!!!
Abdullah Murad brother I was dying when he was talking in his falsetto voice😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's how Mickey Mouse was done. Good voiceover artists have a wide palette of techniques.
My left ear enjoyed this.
Ha! Yep. This video favors the left ear! -NYVC
Was searching for this comment only
Why does this video only play sound from my left speaker...
Same......
Lee Cander omg yes XD
Steven Sheung This problem has nothing to do with your browser, it has to do with the method in which the uploader recorded his audio. I can see that in his other videos both left and right monitors are outputting sound, so it seems that he recorded this particular video in error.
+Lee Cander Oh yeh same
OMG I really panic I thought my Headphones were broken 😅
I didn't know Mickey Mouse like talking in falsetto
John Rogers
*gulp*
Always one of the most reliable vocal tutorial channels in UA-cam. It does not confuse you with too much terminology and explains everything in such a way that the average Joe or Josephine can understand.
Thank you so, so much for your feedback Tim! We're super glad to hear how much you like it! -NYVC
So head voice is basically the compressed falsetto I keep breaking into when I try to do mixed voice. Sometimes I can do an over compressed head voice. I actually find that mixed voice may require you to raise your volume to a singing voices range for strength. So if you are wanting to sing high notes don’t raise your volume like crazy as hell but don’t be afraid to raise your volume a little when singing higher in pitch. It probably helps to find your vocal strength
My head voice is so strong, that when I first heard about falsetto, I thought that was my falsetto. Now it's like, "that's my head voice? COOL!" I have only just a little over 3 octaves to work with as a high baritone, so the highest for me would be low for a tenor. Even so, I can almost nail every note of a few Soundgarden songs in head voice, and it's awesome to be able get that resonance into it!
I'm currently working on trying to get those notes with Chris's level of vocal distortion, but it's gonna take while.
Lejundairy
It's almost easier to get distortion in head voice than it is to get a clean tone on your highest and hardest-to-reach notes. Pretend you are buck-toothed and have a bar of soap shoved in your mouth lengthwise so hard that it makes your neck muscles flare out (like the way Jim Carrey looks when he plays Fire Marshall Bill). Then introduce a slight "eh" to your note, a slight push with your stomach. That's compression. Both the imagery of the soap visualization and the "eh" sound will get you thinking in the right direction, but the distortion sound shouldn't come from your throat. It should come from above it, in the back of your mouth (the uvula). Almost like you're lightly gargling the note. The uvula is also used to pronounce a lot of hard consonant sounds in German.
Happy New Year! Hope this helps.
***** Thanks, I'll have to try that.
*_Didn't know DiCaprio could sing that well ;)_*
hehe either way, great great explanation and demonstration!
LOL! Be sure to check out the “Leonardo DiCaprio Voice Lessons” episode on this channel! - NYVC
CyberPixl Music hahaha made my day
Decending falsetto scales have great restorative powers and once integrated into the entire vocal range, its difficult if not impossible to detatch.
thank you mr dicaprio and congrats for the oscar
Ha! We'll tell him you said so Rachid! -NYVC
@@NewYorkVocalCoaching dicaprio i love you,i know it's you
This is a superb explanation, even someone like me with basically zero musical knowledge, could understand and hear the difference between the two techniques, and now I feel proud for knowing a little bit more than before! ^^ Thank you, wonderful video!
You are so welcome! -NYVC
I discovered something about my voice today... I've been singing for 27 years BUT for the past 3 years or so I've mostly sang lower register songs from the 30's and my brain kinda re-wired itself to think that was my new vocal limit. Whenever I tried to sing higher I felt like I had to punch through it... This past few days I've only been singing songs between E4 and A5 on piano and I'm amazed at how high I can actually sing. I guess I had just forgotten. It's not falsetto either because it has power behind it. I've been recording myself using my studio mic and making sure that the levels remain consistent throughout my singing. Not too weak and not too loud. I was trained in two school choirs so belting and projecting is all I've ever known really and that was one of the main problems when singing in head voice.
Sounds like you're making many discoveries!! Keep up the great work, Dark Autumn! -NYVC
Wow! You're the best. You are the only person who explained these things well. And I've searched well for a long time and you just came through for me...
Thanks bruh
Leo DiCaprio's long lost brother anyone
+Otaku Shanaynay Did you check out Justin's latest video? Haha!
I just posted a video on EXACTLY this subject (different format) and I am SOOOOO happy you made one like this! In the name of all songbirds, thank you. Fantastic job :) May there be more people like you on the UA-cam space!
Never knew Leonardo Dicaprio can sing so well
Ha! Check out our video "Leonardo DiCaprio Voice Lessons" ;) -NYVC
My dude, your explanation has resolved all of the problems and misunderstandings that I have. Subscribed!
Wow! We are so happy to hear this Coil! Welcome! -NYVC
Thank you so much for the info, btw it is just amazing that you're still replying to comments of a video that you posted 10 years ago. Thank you so much for the hard work sir!
We try! :) -NYVC
I never knew there was difference, I've got so much work to do! Thx for this man; this info is invaluable.
"Shooting" the air to the back of the head in order to produce a good, strong head voice was the tip I needed right now! Thank you, ever so much!
Your videos have been some of the most helpful things I have found on UA-cam. Thank you so much. I understand now.
So glad to hear this Stephen! Thanks for watching! -NYVC
I direct a church choir and we are working on a piece that is rather high for even second sopranos. I have a couple of sopranos who can deliver a good focused head voice and that's all I need for it to sound right. I am perfectly happy if the remaining sopranos deliver a choir boy sound via falsetto voices. Since we only meet once a week, it is difficult to coach them on the difference because it is all too easy to leave the practice not quite remembering, so I set out to find a good video on the subject to no avail. I therefore decided to go through the effort of making my own video for them to view prior to practicing but thought I would give it one last shot to find a suitable video. Thank you Justin for saving me the effort and hassle. Very good job at explaining.
thank you, falsetto and head voice are terms tons of videos use without ever actually defining...belting is another one
Hi Fola! We're glad it helped! You can also check out our Belting episodes! -NYVC
Justin is a genuis!!!!! bless you beautiful heart!!
🎶😃 -NYVC
Best explanation I've seen so far!

Wow really good explanation and examples, thanks!
Thanks for watching!! -NYVC
This was extremely helpful; now I finally understand the difference between falsetto and heed voice. You're an amazing voice coach. Thank you very much, appreciated.
Thank you so much for your support for Justin and VLTTW! We wish you well on your vocal journey and hope you stay tuned for more! :)
Awesome lesson!
I was waiting for you to finish the song 'apologize' sounded good!
We're glad you liked it! :) -NYVC
You might've just gave me the reason why I couldn't stop straining while doing the whistle register, "up and back in the head" I tried and now it kinda feel easier!
I'm not sure, if I made sense or if it's my thoughts are true, but thank you! ❤
We're so glad it helped you Gashugi! 💙 -NYVC
Thank you! I love your head voice 👍
Do you know how many years it took to get a clear answer to this? Well done sir. Well done.

Thanks Olito! Stay Golden! - NYVC
He always explains in a fun way about things we want to know in singing.
We're so glad you think it's fun! -NYVC

Thank you so much this is so important to me
So glad to hear it, Luiz! -NYVC
wow. I already am a passionate singer and stumbled upon this video. What an amazingly clear explanation. This is key to not getting confused between your head/falsetto voice. Once you understand it you can really focus on progressing these parts of your voice. Thanks again!
+Michael Anthony Price We are go glad you enjoyed this video! :) Stay tuned for more on the voice from Justin!
I didn't know how to sing in head voice until a couple years ago. My falsetto was quite strong but in my experience I could never connect between chest and falsetto simply due to the lack of vocal fold closure for falsetto. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm now pretty sure that head voice is essential for learning how to mix because the vocal fold compression remains constant through chest and head voice, allowing them to blend together; whereas falsetto will always produce a massive break at the passagio.
Awesome description! Thanks so much
This is the best explanations I've ever heard. Thank you.
I love the Apologize example, I think that's my favorite example that I'm going to refer to from now on, because most songs I've seen as examples are either mostly falsetto or mostly head voice, but this one you can hear the change. It's a hard concept to wrap your head around, after watching many videos and asking my teacher a few times I think it's starting to sink in and that song example really makes sense to me.
Hi John! We’re so glad this example helped you so much! Keep up the great work! -NYVC
Thom Yorke uses this changes beautifully in the Radiohead songs "We suck young blood" and "Backdrifts"
Really great example, agreed. I'll be studying this for quite a while.
Great video!!!! Thanks :)
Good explanation. I can hear the difference, will have to try to make those two sounds.
Wonderful! -NYVC
What a wonderful way to explain the exact difference. I am kind of able to use my falsetto but I'm not able to switch to head voice.
Head voice for a male can be tough so keep at it! -NYVC
Yourr voice is so amazing..
Your encouragment is very much appreciated X3! - NYVC
Oh my gosh. I have been wondering this thing ever since I started looking up singing. I'm glad to know Falsetto + Compression = Head Voice. That works well for me. So now I know if I can get a clear falsetto then I should be able to start compressing by a little bit and I might sing high better.
So glad it was helpful TG! -NYVC
thanks justin I had many questions about falsetto vs head voice so now are clear.
wow. Thank you so much !
You're welcome! Glad it helped! -NYVC
Great video! My left ear loved it.
Sorry about that. Something happened during production and we didn't catch it.
Ravindra Banchhod what about your right ear? Didnt like it?😂😂
Thanks for this video--very helpful!
You separate them very well... Good job! I learned a lot :)
+Savay Chhim We are so glad this was helpful for you!
Helps a lot! THANKS!
Thank you!
Thank YOU Vadimme! -NYVC
Very good explanation! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful!! Thank u so much!!
Thank you Orestis! We are so appreciative of your support for Justin and VLTTW, happy singing! :)
WOW! You just answered a question on a video from 4 years ago! That's some awesome dedication!
oh my god i was in tears when you were speaking in falsetto and head voice hahaha
thank you though great advice
completely helpful, thanks
Always heard the difference, never new how the difference was created! Thank you...
We are so glad you found this helpful! :)
i loved how you explained it sir
Great video! I am not a singer, but I do sing all the time and love singing, I know very little about the voice, but most of this video still made perfect sense to me, and the teacher was very professional and enthusiastic. I'm glad I came across this video and I think it more than answered the question :)
this helps a lot! Thanks for explaining!! XD
Wonderful explanation! Everything is clear now!
Excellent Explanation! Your examples were very clear and simple to understand. Thank you!
Thank YOU Francois! Keep up the good work and we wish you well on your vocal path! Stay tuned :)
Dude. You're the man. Thanks for posting. =)
And a big thank you from Justin, -NYVC
Thanks for the videos!!!! That's a clear info!! That's what I was looking for!!!
Thank YOU Rafael! Happy Singing!
Very helpful, thanks
Seriously excellent explanation. Jason is one of the most articulate voice teachers I've ever encountered.
SO GREAT
Thanks! This video answered more than just on question. You're a good teacher!
He looks like a cross between Niles Crane from Frasier and Leonardo Dicaprio.
Yes!
