Hey, Bob, amazing videos! Your quality of videos is insanely good! I wanted to ask if you'd ever consider analyzing various techniques/vocals, do the breakdowns and give people some roadmaps on how they can achieve similar effects/emotions/sounds? If so, I'd Love love love to hear "twenty one pilots - the line" song breakdown as it is super, super vulnerable, and the way it is sung is really beautiful, especially the live version

I'm impressed by your videos, especially the part at 5:19! 😄 We felt the signs, but just ignored it to sing One last time! I really enjoy your videos while my cords are swelling.

Can you please make a vedio on singing in a perfect pitch and adding emotion to it

You are a pure genius man

could you explain Lose Comtrol buy Teddy Swims?🥰

I am in love with your voice man❤

you are amazing, I'm moved.

Dude this is the best guide to singing I've seen so far. Straight to the point no bull-crap definitions and opinions. The perfect amount of complexity. Thank you! Seriously! I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos, but i have to be alone hahah

Wowww. Great video.. I just subscribe to your channel

Does it matter what kind of voice I have or can this be used in any kind of voice? Also I don’t know if the highest note I can reach is actually the highest note I can reach. I don’t know if I can go higher

Thanks!

Thanks!

BINGO‼️🎤

💯💯💯 I started singing late in life at 56 years old and I figured what better way to learn to sing than to do rough sing-a-longs recorded on my iPhone 📲 where I can get instant feedback on replay on how I’m matching up with Artist while learning song at same time - I try to capture as much of the flavor of the original song as I’m covering them as a challenge to grow as a versatile singer…

"To stay in mode B and C above our break pitch, we need to limit our airflow." WHAT THE HECKING HECK THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING WHERE WERE YOU IN MY LIFE WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS BEFORE MY LIFE CHANGES NOW CAUSE I NOW KNOW EVERYTHING AND THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING ME-

17:55 this really freaking made me laugh, I've been struggling with a kind of lite-depression due to singing, to me, singing well is the coolest thing period. I've been fighting the impostor syndrome saying it's too late and that no matter what I'll suck even though I'm 17 and I *know* it's obviously not too late. Sorry for the venting, but this video is an absolute diamond.

Is mode C very available to those going though voice changes? I feel like I can’t reach higher notes without straining but i feel like i have the problem of too LITTLE breath but can’t figure out how to balance it. I’m a senior in highschool so i’m wondering if it’s just my voice going through development.

this video is soo complete omg

It's rare to find a vocal coach that can actually sing. Impressive. I'll be checking you out to find any gaps in my game, tia mate

Thank you so much, I learned a lot of things and you helped me fixed my problem in singing recently you are a great teacher sir bob and the level of your understanding about the voice is really amazing. I wish you a great success in your vocal coaching also happy new year! :DD

Wait, my singing teacher told me to take in the biggest breath every time. Does this mean it was bs? 🤔Seems like it would waste a ton of energy to be constantly holding in so much air.

Ii-ah eh-ah I -ah oh-ah ooh-ah Red ( Ri-ah eh-ah D-ah ) constanents. Og-ah la-ah -oh-ah Mah-ah Ha-ah( Oklahoma) run them together like an auctioneer 🤗

What an amazing video!!

I've hit a slump on my singing recently as I've always found it hard to utilize my mix. This video was a godsend. Also that "leaning back" to modulate air flow was GENIUS.

I am not s singer but i want to sing i am Sreaching on RUclips whole day but i can't find anything were i can start can u give me some advice 😢

Bob, this video is amazing! I appreciate the new framing. At 21:34 you say that we need the least airflow with high powerful notes, which sounds counterintuitive to me because I assume (maybe wrongly) that we need the most pressure to sing those notes. Can you explain a bit more?

You are good teacher

You should check out the IPA vowel chart. It's all the possible vowel sounds your mouth can make, and a standardized symbol to go with it. That way you can communicate the /exact/ sounds that are easiest and harder to sing with.

As a visual learner, this amazingly helps. This channel is underrated!

i want to learn from you

This is fantastic! I'm so glad I found your video! All my life I thought that I just had a voice that is breaking and I had to be careful and control it. I thought that was my limitation. And it turns out that there is knowledge and explanation on this subject! it's uplifting and motivating to work on developing your capabilities!

Bro, my neighbours are in for a ride since i discovered your channel lmao 😂

If you were to start singing from scratch, what would you do or learn to become a better singer?

GOATed video really

Where do the lower abdominals come into play for breath support? I’ve learned they are an anchor and should be hugging inwards subtly. Is it different than the upper abdominals/solar plexus/ribs are? Or do they follow in tandem - when controlling those other areas on exhale?

I believe this may be the Rosetta stone/Holy Grail/Roadmap in a dark and confusing landscape of vocal coaching practices for the advancement and breakthrough needed in achieving vocal mastery.

Question: in the Prince* track Adore, is Prince using a to-the-and-slightly-past Mode C as described here in some parts of the vocals? Would it be correct to say that Prince is using Mode A with true falsetto and Mode C interchangeably throughout the song? Please elaborate if you have a chance. Thanks!!

Sir what do you mean by natural pauses: 1) where you need to breathe or 2) Octave/pitch jumps drops or 3) Feeling/mood of internal riff changes ?

Wow… this just helped me solve my problem. Lack of mindful breath management. Not just anxiously over tanking on air. Everything suddenly got easier

so I have a question on vocal ranges my base is a2 but if I try but I strain I can whistle note at a7 whistle note that would put me in the 6 octave range but my range is very patchy sometimes I can reach c5 belt chest to head at a highest of f5 before air so my question here is what am I in terms of voice type am I and like how do I navigate this lol you have been a big help and do you offer 1 to 1 online class I would love to buy lol.

Some ‘follow along with you’ exercise videos would be great!

@nobleg ❤❤

The Animation made it easy to follow !

Didn't realize this was a new channel because of the quality of the videos and overall presentation of the channel. The color scheme and thumbnails look good, and the best advice I've heard so far

As per your recommendation, I'm watching this video. This is some genuine feedback- your video style is awesome! It feels like you're putting more effort in than most people who put videos out in the vocal-teaching space. Clean background, some additional eddits/scenes/additional audios, materials on the screen in relation to the topic at hand. This is refreshing to see and way more engaging. This just shows that good content (in terms of the subject- how it's explained and presented) as well as post-production/editing part can make the video quality even better.

Love the way you decode the tough singing challenges...very subtle graphics and not much of visual clutter which keep the focus on the content...and absolutely perfect timing to end the video...loved it❤

Bob Smeenk! Oh my god. Your vocals right before the 1ist minute when you sing in a chesty voice as some people call it... WOW. How do you maintain this clean quality? Just adding volume to the vocals at higher ranges does not necessarily translate to this kind of tone, clarity and consistency in the sound. JUST WOW. Just from the first minute I've realized that you are someone whom I'd want to learn from as much as possible.

Can I just please pay for personal coaching

that H thing is an absolute game changer when you started playing those gospel riffs I could hear every singleH consonant between each note. Seems like the real secret is singing the note in straight tone then taking your vocal stop it and cutting it up with the individual H consonants. Thanks so much for that nugget. I’m sure that the RIFF” gatekeepers” didn’t want that secret to get out lol

EVERY KID DOES THIS
