    Maybe singer-ventriloquists singing overtones can put words into this kind of harmony. I'm really digging this xD... this is the first day I knew of this thing. Just wow

      *+Teuss Tolosa* as someone who has always really loved the film 'the fifth element' i'm surprise i only took fancy to listening to coloratura singing in recent months.
      after _les oiseaux dans la charmille_ or the second Aria (Queen of the Night) by Diana Damrau or Natalie Dessay and many such classic renditions
      I too eventually came by Ms.Anna-Maria's tutorial/basic video
      But like someone alredy put, Aj's broken down steps and actual DIY thing is far more easier.
      P.S.: my voice is like a frog's, as in i don't sing. Frogs at-least attract mates or impress them with their voice.

    I just learned about this in Chorus the other day from my director because we're doing a song called Myoon Myoon which comes from where singing with overtones originated (in this style at least). It fascinated me so I've been watching different styles of how-to's and I have to say, yours is helping me the most, by far. It's very descriptive and easy to understand. Thanks, again!

    I've been told I'm a pretty resonant bari-base, and so when my choir director demo'd his version of polyharmonic singing, I just had to give it a try. Took me about 30 seconds of messing around with my face and the inside of my mouth, and I got the overtones. Thanks to this video, I'll now be messing around with changing overtones and amplifying them even more so than usual :D

    I love this. I recently started beatboxing and there's a very large usage of throat singing and other similar techniques that allow people to hit a wide range of notes (especially lower notes) so that they can vocalize in crazy ways, however something I haven't seen much of (if any of) within the realm of beatboxing is this specific type of overtone singing which has this sound. There are various techniques for polyphonic singing and sounding like you're making multiple separate notes at the same time, as well as techniques for how to move and position the tongue to change texture and resonance, but not like this specifically. I've been a vocalist for a decade now, so I've known about this type of singing for a good little bit now, but it always seemed so amazing and crazy to me that I didn't even consider attempting to learn how to do it. However now that I can do various types of throat singing and similar techniques because of my beatboxing practice, this seems like the perfect time to go back and learn how to do this specific amazing technique I've been fascinated by for years.
    And most of all, I'm excited to learn and become skilled in this technique for 2 reasons. First is so that I can bring it back to the vocal and beatboxing circles I'm in so that I can teach others how to use this amazing technique, so that the art of vocalizing can become even more diverse and beautiful than it already is. Second is so that I can explore and pave my own path of sound and musical style. There's only one me, and I intend to find out what this person I am has in store for his uniqueness.
    So much to learn. So much to experiment with. Practically endless possibilities. I'm quite excited.

    Love this! Answered a couple of very fundamental questions that I had And also I only sing in chest voice but people have told me that they can hear overtones. Turns out it's because I sing the note perfectly and if I sing with a different mouth shape, dynamically in a choral setting, it's distinguished. Oktavists are known for tremendous 'Rrrr' or Oooo' sound.

    Fascinating! In the Barbershop Harmony style of singing, the goal is to create harmonics through singing the chords correctly. If the chord "rings" you can hear notes that no one is actually singing. Some of the chord transitions can send a profound thrill right up your spine, and curl your hair! In this discipline, though, I can see that it's possible to get a similar effect from one singer alone.
    Thank you for the easy-to-understand lesson!

      Love that "sound that no one is making." I don't do barbershop but have heard about this Ring from folks who do. In group overtone singing we live for this Ring, cultivate it extensively with interacting overtones. The shimmer and match of tones that thrills throughout the body and mind!!

    Ive been practicing this occasionally for years. I do it mainly on long drives and dedicated a lot of my driving on a recent long trip (I live in Australia) to practicing. I have gotten more consistent but trying to figure it out myself meant that it’s hit and miss in achieving more pure, clear overtones. I think your basic instructions have helped to link together the various things I figured out (such as the different vowels with e being a good start to tongue placement) so hopefully this will get me closer to being able to pull out the clear overtones whenever I want.
