Super helpful thanks!
@@eponinex don't worry... transitioning is the key to success...Just Do all these exercise and in tims you'll hit D6...This is my promise..
@@eponinex dont worry just keep on training... I'm a Baritone and you won't believe I mix a Bb5...with a little bit of heady placement...still in mixed voice and you'll get there too...Just Keep On Working and Never lose hope
You are amazing. I studied from David Stroud for years in San Francisco. I love how you break it down. You also giving me some new exercises. For example I've never used K before to do the exercises.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Michele!
@@PowerToSing And it's free. Makes it very affordable.. cuz I am broke. I used to pay for speech level singing from David Stroud. But I just can't afford it anymore. Thank you so much 😊
Got great results doing this exercise daily! I also learned how to sing mix voice with these exercises ☺️
@@paboland5228 I've been doing them for like 3 weeks and see a huge difference in my voice. It's starting to sound smooth!!! I'm so excited to see what my voice is capable of achieving!
Thanks Chuck; you've truly created a wealth of free and quite helpful content. I already take lessons with someone else, but likely will be in touch soon-ish regarding at least a few lessons with you to reinforce these exercises and experiment more with the SLS approach. Thank you!
Thanks Paul!
Спасибо, Николай Дроздов!
Hi Chuck. I ve been working with your pulled chest high larynx exercises continuously for one and half months. It has shown great improvements. Yesterday I sang in a competition hitting A# confidently. It is only improving .. in another month I will post my video with really good high notes without raising larynx. I don't know how to thank you. You are doing an amazing job.
That's awesome Sree! Congratulations!
Thanks I'll work on this daily ,I can sing some songs really well others not so well. This should really help. I just done a video my channel singing a Christmas Song hoping to keep getting better.
Great! You can do it!
@@PowerToSing This has made me a better singer ,I posted 2 songs here on RUclips . Just When I needed you Most and Leather and Lace and In The Ghetto. I didn't get blasted by the RUclips world except for acting like a goof.
@@gfonzy You will get blasted no matter how wonderful you sound. Good for you for putting yourself out there!
I've been doing these exercises once a day for 3 weeks now and I have to say I already hear improvement in my voice. My voice sounds a lot more controlled and less like a faulty blow horn.
Hi Giavonna! Great, I'm glad they are helping!
Thank you so much for this free content. I haven't got money to buy your stuff so this safes my vocal life haha I hope you are doing great!!
Thank you for this amazing exercises!
You are welcome!
Wow I had an immediate change in my voice and started singing a higher note with ease
♥️
Way to go George!
that was great i enjoyed it so much,after doing this excises i feel that my voice is now refresh and my chord is replace with a new one.Thank so much
Great! Thanks Deborah!
you are always welcome
Dear Chuck, here is one of "your kind" - pulled chest/high larynx. I didn't even need to complete vocal type test once I heard and read Your life story. Almost exact thing for me, with difference that my "pause" was 25 years long. I started with vocal lessons with vocal coach who comes from classical background. He gave me exercises to do at home that in some ways are similar to these, but, when we go for signing part of lesson, it seems that my passaggio (from A#3 to C4) imposes big issue, because many of songs that are dear to me have their choruses around that area.
Another thing, most important is that "pulling", and the fact that I (almost) have no head voice, which leads more to straining, and that notorious squeezed/choked sound. Or, to be precise, there is, but very weak, and sounds more like "reinforced" falsetto - I can get more volume with it, but still airy, and weaker that chest voice. I was very frustrated for few lessons, because I couldn't figure out what goes wrong, and my coach seemed to let me with singing that way. He did tell me that it should be better once I achieve "mask" and strengthen my diaphragm. I am doing breathing exercise and those for mask resonance (with "m" and "n" consonants), but, problematic area from A#3 to C4 is still there.
I tried to do these exercise this morning, but on several of these I experience cracking, shaking, apparently as I moved thru THAT passaggio area. Will that cracking, shaking disappear with this exercises?
P.s.
If it is of any relevance, my chest range is from G2 (lower than that is breathy) to A3, pure head from C#4 to (well, that one depends on how good the day is) to A4/A#4, but, when I am really warmed up (and I mean really really good), hydrated and with enough sleep I can reach up to E5.
Yes...if the exercises are done as demonstrated your cracking, shaking will disappear. Good luck to you! You can do it. PS. past experience has shown that mixing exercises from two different teachers can get confusing to the singer and end up not helping the singer improve.
@@PowerToSing Thanks for Your quick answer. Well, I guessed that leaning on advises from two (or more for that matter) coaches could be problematic. But, so far I managed to understand what is and what isn't good with my voice. I am bit frustrated because I have very good chest voice, with nice colour and resonance, but my head voice is lame compared to chest voice. I could sing within the limits of my chest voice, but where is joy with that? My coach puts lot's of effort on singing vowels (classical approach), and developing "center" as he calls it (from C3 to C4), but "pulled chest" is something that I could read/hear for the first time from You. As a matter of fact, most exercises he gave me cover that range (C3-C4) and just lately I discovered that there isn't even one pure head tone (which for me starts around C#4 -D#4). So, I have been "ironing" chest voice, but neglecting head voice, and wasn't even aware of that, until I watched few of Your videos.
So, in essence, I should stick to this exercises, and do them patiently for several..months to expect audible progress?
@@joskomestrov-uroda4012 You should be able to begin seeing progress quickly...minutes, hours, days...maybe weeks.
@@PowerToSing How many repetitions should I do (daily)?
I ask that, because in my own experience lip thrills (done in chest area) open up "metal" resonances in my chest voice, but really after 4th repetition/series
@@joskomestrov-uroda4012 Twice....once in the morning and once later in the day.
Really helpful. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank u sir...this really is helping me .
Hi chuck,
I’m a 13 almost 14 year old and for almost 6 months now I have not been able to sing the high notes I was able to before, I have seen many many videos, but none of the descriptions of my problem were as accurate as yours was in the other video, I discovered this video after many months of hard work into my voice but nothing happened, after I found your video it was very very similar to the problem I have, here is my description; when I sing it sounds amazing in notes a little less than high. When I sing high, however, it is it’s sort of squeezed/wheezy type of a a sound, sound comes out but it is very waspy, if that’s a word. I don’t know if your exercise works I have been doing it for 2 days now and there is a slight effect which gives me confidence. Ps I was unable to sing after a very rock hard to sing rock setlist, but I am unsure if I hit puberty or if it is damaged
Hi K.Z. Glad the videos are helping. It's a hard time for all us guys when our voices change if we like singing. The exercises will definitely help...but it takes time..so be patient. You are hoarse after singing your rock set list because you are pulling chest voice. This can damage your voice no matter your age...but especially now you want to avoid that. You have many years of singing ahead of you. You don't want to damage your vocal cords. These exercises for PC/HL will help you. Good luck!
Power To Sing thank you so much for the support, I’m glad that this will help!
@@PowerToSing hello, when I do the nays, my throat hurts and I feel coughing and strain, is it feel like that? I’m not sure what to do, I think it’s damaged, if it is do you suggest any exercises for my damaged vocals
@@neverglide4881 Stop doing the exercises so loud. Cut the loudness by 1/2. If it still hurts, stop doing the exercises. Either way, go see an ENT Dr. and see if you have any damage on your vocal cords ASAP.
@@PowerToSing hi chuck I’m very confused right now, I don’t know what’s going on with my voice, I was wondering if it is possible for me to contact you someway, maybe through Skype or zoom, because I wanted you to analyze my vocals thoroughly, I’m not sure if I can give you money though
Thank you for doing this. You are amazing !!!
Thanks Dem! Good luck!
love you man god bless you , you saved my life
Omg I have so much misery doing the 2nd one! But actually, I like those exercises! They are kinda funny! I hope they're gonna "give me what I want"! :)
great warm up thank you!!!
If my voice is going into falsetto when I am doing these exercises, can I have a piece of advice to focus on to stop this? :) Thanks Chuck
P.s. I have been doing these exercises for a month and am really noticing improvement.
Thank you for doing this!
+felyux You are welcome!
Hi Chuck, thanks so much for the video. Do you have to put your fingers on your face even if you can do bubble lips without the fingers? Thanks!
No...as long as the lips are "bubbling" slow, even and consistent. Too often, without taking away the weight of the cheeks from the lips with the fingers, the bubbling is too tight and too fast.
I just took the test, can't wait to finally sing Feel Good Inc and The good in me :3
You can do it!
@@PowerToSing tysm!
Perfect!
So here I am unable do find out head voice or anything,doing these exercises since my larynx goes up as soon as I get close to G3 .Doing "goo" exercise insted of tongue thrill and monitoring my pitch on display.So couple of runs and insted of G3 my app is showing me G4 when I practice runs.And I noticed something is different.Yup the resonance shifted to somwhere in line between my nose and ears(don't know if that's the right place) but made my day knowing I can even sing G4 without strain. :D Thank you for these exercises.
You are welcome GeForce. Congratulations....that's just the beginning of what your voice can do!
Thanks, i really need something like these
Thanks, You are welcome!
Hi Chuck ! Thanks for these helpful exercices. I'm having a hard time transitioning smoothly from chest to mixed (up and down), especially on the "nay 1 1/2". So I think that the higher notes that I sing are just weak head voice (if not falsetto) and i'm having a hard time to reach those. Do you have exercices to improve such transition or I stick to these and it will improve over time ? Many thanks !
Hi Daniel: I have more exercises that will help you build your transition from chest to head voice and back down. I recommend you look into this course: www.powertosing.com/fast-track-exercises-vsl/
Thanks! You're gold person :) It helps me a lot
Awesome!
Hello Chuck, thanks for the great exercises! I am trying to practice every day now so I can improve till I have a little gig in two months. This is helping me a lot!
I am struggling with one thing though. I can sing the scales upwards for the most part but escpecially with the 1,5 scale I can only go up but when I go down my voice dies/is barely audible on the last few notes. Can you recommend an exercise to prevent that from hapenning? Thanks for your help :)
Be very aware of your first note. Is it light and breathy? Or is it strong and firm. Usually the lower notes in the exercises are in chest voice. It should be all the way in chest coordination. Not necessarily loud, but firmly in chest. Make sure that you start your scale that way. Now when you do the exercise, you have something to return to. You end the exercises with the same feeling that you began it on. End it firmly and securely in the chest coordination. Start there and end there too. Just this will help keep your voice from fading out.
The tongue trill one is helpful for those who want to learn german too :P
Italian, Spanish and Russian have a tongue trill, German doesn't.
It would be great if these videos could be downloaded for use while offline.
Hi! thanks for the videos!. For how long do I need to practice this exercises everyday? Also I can´t do well the second exercise, my tongue stops doing the rrru sound as I go higher.. any advice? thank you.
Im going to do this . ! 🙂💜.
I need to develope my voice what ever happens . 🙂💜
Great! Zozo! You can do it!
What's up???
That’s very helpful, I really appreciate such exercise. And about the dopy sound exercise, does that mean every exercise i take, i should put that dopy sound in it a bit?
No...just the one series. You want to eliminate the exaggerated sounds ASAP...as soon as you can connect the tone without cracking or breaking.
Can you replace the bubble lips exercise with blowing bubbles in a glass of water using a straw? My last vocal teacher had me do that bc I can't do the other one and trust me I've tried everything over the years. 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks!
Yes you can. But you still have to transition the same condition to your singing. That's where for me bubbles helps. It's a little closer to singing with words.
@@PowerToSingthank you so much for getting back to me. I was struggling before I learned about pulling chest. Never even heard of that before I discovered you! It's so helpful! Thanks again!
@@NikiMcNally I'm glad it's helpful. The same thing was true with me. I was doing it all my life and didn't know I was doing it.
Thank You so much!
You are welcome!
Hey Chuck
this video helped me a lot in increasing my falsetto range but unfortunately my mixed voice range isn't that high. Could you suggest me some videos to follow which will help me extend my mixed voice and chest voice ?
For most men, pure chest voice ends at Eb4 and the mix of chest and head begins. By the time you arrive at A4, you should be in pure head voice. It you go into falsetto, your vocal cord muscle has disengaged which you don't want. Here's a playlist that may help: ruclips.net/p/PLc6YT-50Ji8HBunI0Ak5C-70HetNeoUoU&si=K7dvXCM7D3_WQEDz Good luck to you. It's worth the work!
Thank god I went to his website. He really relates to what I'm dealing with vocally which is lagging of belting and diaphragm. All of my singing life, I meet coaches from my church who told me to go for the high notes, well that type of technique backfire on me. I had issues trying to improve my voice without going back to my old habits and most of the time I do, which sucks after all the hard work I put in to make a difference with my sound. I been recording myself to see where I'm at and there are times I don't like my sound if I back off the chest weight and singing too airy. If I try a little force of the chest to hear myself, it would be just as bad as my airy sound. This happen to me for a decade, please any solutions on how to properly sing freely and still have enough depth behind my sound?
Hi Jimmy: Yes. Take the POwerTest and get your vocal type and then download the free exercises for your vocal type and work on those. They will help. I'm guessing you are pulled chest - high larynx. There are videos here about your vocal type: www.powertosing.com/pulled-chest-high-larynx-2/
Do I get paid for downloading them?
What does it mean when I'm getting dizzy doing the bubble lips the second exercise with a bubble lips
Can you do a tongue trill? That may be easier. Dizziness might be getting too much oxygen too fast, or standing with knees locked, or getting up too fast, or any number of things. You may be reacting to the feeling of the vibrations of the lips, mouth and throat caused by the resistance of the air with the vocal cords and/or the lips. Whatever the cause, try doing the bubbles less loud...just enough to get your lips to bubble the whole time. Watch this for help with breathing. It may also help with dizziness. www.powertosing.com/ep-15-how-to-sing-breath-with-diaphragm/
Hi Chuck, you said be careful to not flip into falsetto, but can I go into head voice smoothly while doing the exercises?
Yes you can.
Thank u... Sir
does raising eyebrows helps to get higher on does notes? I notice the pattern while you where doing it.
No...it doesn't help you hit higher notes...but it doesn't help me illustrate on camera. Probably shouldn't.
hello, your videos seems to help many people but I'm wondering is following your exercises is going to let me sing beautifully? or is it just about reaching high notes?
I genuinely don't mind singing with high notes or not as I prefer the kind of smooth low and quiet type of singing ??
I am a PC-HL
I love these exercises. My only question would be, should the exercises be done before singing and for how long everyday to get the proper results?
If you do the correctly, once or twice a day will be fine. You can use them as a warm up before singing. I would do them 45 min. before singing.
I was a light chest- no chest before but I have been doing the exercises for that and retook the vocal type test and now got the result of pulled chest- high larynx. I guess I have improved in a way? I don't sing breathy anymore but I was only doing that because I live in an apartment and don't want neighbors to come knocking at my door but I have found that they don't anyways so I am singing louder.
I will continue to do the exercises for pulled chest - high larynx. I really feel strain in the higher notes because I am more in the lower range , like a Baritone and I am female so the higher notes are really difficult for me.
,
Thank you for your videos. They are helping me alot. I want to learn how to sing and do it properly so that I won't damage my voice.
One question... could you show me how to add rasp? I know I am not at that level yet but when I get there I want to sing with rasp.
Thanks for all you do.
Danny
Hi Dane: This is not uncommon. Once the cords come together more firmly, now you face getting through the bridge that way. Start working on the exercises for PC-HL. I think you will be greatly helped!
Thank you very much. Will do, Sir
I noticed i clench and tighten my jaw when i go higher and it makes my TMJ pain sore what can i do about that?
It's your nervous system compensating in some way for something in your singing that's become a habit. Your nervous system needs to find different ways to hit the notes without the larynx rising or the jaw tightening. Doing the exercises for PC/HL will make a huge difference. But you will have to fight the unconscious gripping and grabbing with your jaw and tongue which is happening automatically. Try to follow the exercises as close to the way they are demonstrated. You must be very intentional about doing them without grabbing or tightening so a new habit can be formed.
I actually think this really helped!
Yes...they are not warmups. They will help you stop pulling and start mixing.
feel like I’m losing more and more confidence in my voice
I just feel like I’m yelling in my car for hours each day with no progress:(
I feel like my voice is either over compressed and oversinging (I’ve blown it out a dozen times in the last four months and I’m exhausted. Even in times where I was just using chest just a little) or way too airy and weak. I’m trying to find the sweet spot but I can’t seem to
What did your voice teacher say about it?
@@PowerToSing nothing much, we haven’t even worked on songs
I’m gonna switch and look for another teacher that’s in the same area of singing as I am (she’s more operatic)
She gives good tips but I want to apply my tips to songs
hi chuck. i am glad that someone who has struggled and yearned for singing has finally achieved. my voice is quite typical. doctors diagnosed me and said that i have phonatory gap. vocal cords are not completely closing. i donot whether due this phonatory gap or something...but i cannot sing the usual lower notes that a normal male can sing..like b2 . i cannot sing with decent volume even a C3(middle C). i can go up to G4. its all strain after that. and breaks at A4. any tips for me please. i am so passionate about singing and i believe that i am talented enough to take on the world. yet i am still struggling with one and half octaves range. please help me
HI Sree: Please: Watch this video and follow the directions. ruclips.net/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/видео.html
The dopey ones, what does that actually do for the voice? Also I can't find the link to the Which Voice Type Are You on the website!
Thank you so much for these Do we all do the same exercises both male and female
Yes...except the men and contraltos do the same exercises in a lower key.
Is the high larynx singer can learn mix voice? Because, beside high larynx type, im also flip-falsetto type. And it feels hurt for me when trying to learn mix voice
It's likely because you are still pulling chest voice...this is what starts to hurt....until you break into falsetto...which you don't want to do!
Power To Sing im happy to hear that :) i still have a chance to master mix voice
I felt some tightness around my neck and my voice get squeaky as I get into the higher octaves on the "nay" part. is that normal if not can you give any tips on how to solve the issue? (I can hit all notes except for that very last high note)
I'm not sure what squeaky sounds/feels like to you. Generally, on ney's it's best to do them softer not louder. If you can stay very "funny" or exaggerated and at the same time cut your loudness in 1/2, it might do the trick for you. Also, change scales. Include the long 1 1/2 scale to get a "run" at the top note. Often you can get the high note that way.
Solid! How SLS of you ;)
In the comment, you suggested to "goo" when you can't lip trill. So it feels like this "goo" or lip trill exercise is to practice singing with "ooh" or closed mouth. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Then what is 9:04 "gi" sound for? It feels like it's difficult to sing high notes with this "gi" sound because as you mentioned - or as long as I remember -, vocal cords stretch and this helps singing the high note easily (?), and I do feel that I need to use more breath or my larynx(?) moves up unavoidably. And I also think that if I do this not correctly, it stresses my jaw?
+Man Chul Hi Man Chul. To answer your question about "goo" watch Episode 26 especially around the 5-6 min. time. For more about "gi" or "gee" watch Episode 21 starting at 03:39. If it feels difficult to do the gi, it may be because the larynx has gone up. To prevent this you must maintain the dopey or hootie sound. If you do it correctly there is no tension in the neck or jaw.
+Power To Sing oh, thank you. I really should've checked out your videos first before asking a question. I'll watch them asap.
Hi, Mr. Chuck, first of all, thank you for helping me in developing my voice and answering my comments. I have some doubts about the exercises, how long and how often do I have to do them in order to be effective. And I have some issue, like at the end of some exercises I have the sensation I need to throw up and my larynx goes up, does it mean I'm doing them wrong or is it normal to feel that at the beginning? thanks for your attention.
I've never felt like I was going to throw up, nor have I heard that from any students. Try doing it softer...not as hard. You can do these once or twice a day. More importantly, is to do them exactly as demonstrated...maybe not as loud though. See if this helps.
When doing these exercises, I often flip into falsetto. How can I fix that? :(
Watch this video and follow the directions. ruclips.net/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/видео.html
@Kadar Laszlo Right!
These are very helpful & fun to do - especially with your charming commentary. I have a query. When I do these my voice naturally goes into head voice at about a B or middle C. Before I started trying to integrate my head voice in I had a set of notes from B to high A flat that I can do without strain (certainly to the F or F sharp) and I thought of these as my sweetest notes. Something subtle changed at around B flat or B and that upper part - though it could be hard to warm up some days - was (at least to the F or F sharp) what I thought of as my best notes. But when I do these head voice integration exercises that whole section of my voice appears to be skipped. It's like I go straight from lower chest voice into head. I can do it fairly seamlessly & it seems to happen naturally, but I'm wondering - does that mean I'm just going to lose those old sweet notes? Or will they somehow come back as I master the head voice singing more?
Hi Andrew: Do you think the old notes from B to high A flat were chest voice that you carried up that high?
@@PowerToSing I don't think there was much audible difference from my lower chest, but to me they seemed sort of thinner & sweeter, perhaps more piercing. I *could* drag my lower chest up. I (doubtless foolishly) practiced dragging vocal fry up from quite deep. Initially I could only do it from about the C below middle C but eventually learned to carry it all the way to the A flat. I thought it gave my voice a stronger core with less risk of rasp, but I now understand that was a very bad habit to have taught myself. But I also retained the option not to drag - just to make a kind of sweet sound that I could make louder or softer, but always with a ping that was different from head voice. I'm keen to integrate the head voice and your exercises (& philosophy) seem very helpful. I have always, in parallel, been able to take the head voice down low, to about low G. But I understand that if the head voice is properly integrated with the chest voice one eventually learns to make them sound like one voice, & to apply chest-type power lower in the head voice (I can currently only really let rip in head from high B flat to high D. So that's all great. I just find I have two transition points. One is at A natural (perhaps A flat) if I want to shift into head singing out. The other is nearly an octave lower, at the B or C if I do the mixed voice exercises you & others recommend. The latter certainly makes for more effortless singing, but the notes it costs me seem like my best notes. I assume in a couple of years, if I stick at the lower mix effect, I'll get back something sweeter & more relaxed. But those notes were all covered & clean - no reach or widening - certainly to the F or F sharp.
@@PowerToSing The following might illustrate the notes I mean, at 1m 26s through to 1m 39s, for example. chirb.it/basfsy
Yes you are singing in chest at the 1:27 mark, I actually think you are in and out of a pulled up mix and pulled up chest between the 1:45-2:02. 2:02 and 2:44 is pulled up chest. voice. The really high part towards the end sounds like falsetto to me...the Ab-A5. I think you have a very good voice. It's very much worth making your singing a serious pursuit .
Chuck u seem pitchy. Do u have any videos where u actually sing a demo song showing how u don't strain and sound good. I want to know if you're excercises actually work by hearing u actually sing a song.

Hi! I'm not sure if I already asked you that, but would you say that doing vocal exercices works better than singing songs?
+Maëva Gosselin Hi Maeva: The vocal exercises help you develop the vocal coordination you need to sing correctly. Then you can apply those exercises to the songs. But if the exercises are not done correctly, you won't get the benefit you are looking for. They work and will help you if you focus on doing them like demonstrated.
Chuck! I can keep the sound buzzy and consistent and my vocals chords connected, with my larynx relatively low, from B1 up to C#5 as long as I’m singing ah, nay, oh, etc. But I cannot for the life of me do the lip or tongue trills without popping into falsetto around E4 or F4. Do you have any idea what my problem is?
Usually it's a habit and the nervous system does it automatically. Being aware it's happening is the first step. Try increasing the loudness and bend over at the waist 90 degrees as you do the exercise. Be bent over a full 90 degrees by the time to hit the place where you want to disconnect. See what happens. You may want to do the exercises for flip falsetto too. There are several exercises that will help. Good luck.
Do you have any song recommendations for a beginner with this vocal type? Will any song be fine?
It's not the song that will help. It is the technique that will make the difference. When the technique is right, you can sing any song. Ideally, it will be a song that enables you to sing in the first bridge and above it. The answer to your question then depends on your age, sex, natural talent and genre you prefer.
@@PowerToSing I am interested in singing all different kinds of music, from gospel to rock and roll, it is hard to pick a preference! In addition to singing, I'm learning to play banjo, and so folk/bluegrass/americana are the genres I spend a lot of time in at the moment. I'm a mid-30's male. My only natural talent is that I am very motivated to get the things I am after.
While learning my banjo, I start with simple songs (you are my sunshine) and practice them until I can increase the complexity. That is what I was wondering with my original comment, if there are songs suited for a beginner that I could practice; just to reinforce proper technique while singing with a song instead of over scales or something. Thank you for your response! Your videos have really helped me break through the wall of pulling my chest voice up.

Hi mr.Chuck,nice exercises i'got them all in my daily warm up.I've got two question's,generally the higher you go the more sound should travel into the nasal cavity(the nose)?so the best cordination as going up is a lowered stable larynx and an open nasal cavity in order the sound to travel through the head resonance?because some teachers assume that the sound(air) should not travel into the nasal cavity(lifted soft pallate).And another thing is,you have to learn to stabilize a low to neutral larynx forever or when you gradually learn to use your headvoice correctly then you dont have to control anything in the throat?
Hi George, The vibration shouldn't be in the nose as you go higher, but just behind the nose...or the nasopharynx. The best coordination would allow the larynx to stay at essentially the same level as where you speak. Without interference from extrinsic neck muscles, the vibrations will easily go into the head. The only time the resonance travels into the nasal cavity is with the consonants, m, n, or the ng sound or with some French vowels. However, there is sympathetic vibrations in the head cavities. As soon as possible you discontinue imposing the larynx down, so you are singing more like you speak.
@@PowerToSing Thanks,a lot mr.Chuck..!
And also something else,when i'm going high lets say with a siren,with a lower stable larynx,at the exact point of b4 and then i hear or feel should i say(especially if i put my hand on my adam's apple)a sound made by my larynx like rocking,like something mechanical changes into my larynx.Is it normal?
Is the paid version the same or different than this one?
The Fast Track Exercises has some of the same, but is more thorough and provides much more explanation for the exercises.
Hi power to sing I have a problem when I am pulling my chest I am straining and cracked what will I do and I can't hit a 5th ocatave on mix what will I do?

Great Video! I tend to flip into falsetto if I don't pull my chest up/push my voice a little. Should I push my voice then, so it gains strength over time?
Pushing your voice will lead to more strain which leads to more flipping and more pulling. Instead, you want to learn to mix chest and head. It is powerful without straining or pulling. The exercises for pulled chest - high larynx are designed to teach you to stop pulling and start mixing.
@@PowerToSing So if I'm doing the exercises in this video correctly I will have no problems mixing and it will be easy to get a powerful mixed tone without pushing/pulling/flipping or strain? So my voice does not get tired at any point? Thanks fpr the reply in advance.
@@sapnupuas6622 In a perfect world, yes. Speaking personally, needed extra help. Because what I think I'm doing right, is often not. I needed extra help. Especially in applying what I was doing in the exercises to the songs. I could do them right until I tried singing a song. Then I would return to old habits. But I'm average.
@@PowerToSing I see that makes sense. I do get them effortlessly for the first times and then my voice gets sort of tired. Is that normal or do I need help with that?
@@sapnupuas6622 It depends. How old are you? I'm guessing you are a guy?
By the way! I can’t tell if I’m humming in head voice or not
When I use chest it feels like I’m pushing
Is that like a false sense of chest voice?
Hi Me: I would need to hear you to know if you are in head voice or not. If it feels like you are pushing chest voice it's likely that you are. To stop pushing in chest, reduce how loud you're doing it. If you are in chest voice, it's not false. Keep after it.
Hello, I can’t tell if I’m in head or chest at all
My voice is either too breathy or sounds like my speaking voice but more forced and immediately burns out. Super confused
Say ae ae ae ( as in cat) in your lower voice. That is your chest voice. Say WEEEE up in your highest pitches...it's likely head voice or falsetto.
I'm taking the exercises. I'll be back in 1 month :D
Did it work?
Did it work but asked 1 year later?
It didn't work.
It works😄
Thank you very much for all these super exercises!
I have a problem with the "nay" ones: as I go higher my voice starts to get squeaky, loud and very unpleasant. It sounds like it lacks of low frequencies. Do you know what the problem may be? Thanks!
I recommend not doing them loud. "Bratty" doesn't need to be loud. Do them softer than I demo in this video. What you want first is to feel a connection as you sing higher. As you are able to maintain a connected tone, try and do them less bratty. If you disconnect go back to the bratty sound until your connection is consistent. This is a high larynx exercise and doesn't sound normal. You wouldn't use this in your singing generally. This is why you are lacking low frequencies. It is lighter than chest voice, but you get deeper into the vocal cords than with falsetto.
Wow! Thank you so much!! I appreciate it.
Hi Chuck, presently I am doing the exercises in the afternoon or night daily. Can I do it in the morning instead of afternoon or night as I get considerable and consistent time in the morning ?
Absolutely!
I can do all your exercises perfectly for months yet when I trying to sing phrases on the E, F, F# notes I can't. Why is this happening. Help me please
Without hearing you I can only guess. Usually it is because the larynx is coming up and chest voice is being pulled up. This happens easily in songs because of the words that are in the bridge or head voice have vowels that spread to wide. These videos may help: www.powertosing.com/?s=vowel+hacks Start with Episode 25
I sound like I'm screaming when I hit the high notes and when I do low notes my voice cracks
Hi Chuck. I have a few questions about the pulled chest high larynx exercises. If we use falsetto at the end of each exercise we should stop right? If I can’t do the tongue trill, what exercise could replace it?
The exercises are to help you not disconnect into falsetto. If you are disconnecting into falsetto, the exercises are not benefitting you. You might try bending at the waist and looking down at the floor as you do the exercises. Often this will help keep the tone connected. If you cannot do the tongue trill, bubble lips is a great option. Also "goo". If none of these things seem to work, it might be helpful to schedule a skype voice lesson.
Hello Chuck, great video! However, I am struggling with a stupid question about my voice for a while, when I try to switch from chest to head voice it works but when i keep going higher in that head voice it breaks into another head voice, i dont know what that register is, can you help me? The first head voice is from C4 to C5 but the second head voice is from E4 to G5, im really confused, hope you can help me
Without actually hearing you I can't say. I don't know why you would have a different head voice that covers the same notes. It's a mystery to me.
Hallooo Mr.Chuck!
While doing these exercises, when I try to reach the high notes, my voice doesnt go loud but instead becomes squeezy. My throat becomes tight and its hard for me to reach the notes. Should I continue doing the exercises with this sensation of my voice?
How old are you? This is common with teen boys. This almost always happens if the larynx goes up as we sing.
@@PowerToSing im 15 , and if i still do experience this, how do I eliminate the problem when doing the exercises?
@@azuldraconic5141 Watch these and do the exercises the young man does. These are what you need to do.
@@PowerToSing So do I just continue doing these exercises until i cant feel any strain in my throat when reaching high notes?
@@azuldraconic5141 If you do the exercises as I demonstrate and as Lex does them, you won't feel any strain. If you do, you are doing them wrong.
On the "Nay" exercise, is it OK to sound a little nasal?
Hello, Mr. Chuck. I'm little confusing with No and Mum sounds and suspect there is a tension when I do them and add more dopey sound. But Gi sound I do well. Feelings when I do No sound and Gi sound are not the same.
Question is: should I have the same feelings in Gi,No,Mum exercises?
In another words, should I use feelings from Gi exercises to understand how to sing No and Mum exercises?
Thank you!
Yes in theory. To be exact in this case I need to hear you do them. You can send me a recording via Speakpipe on my website and I can give you better feedback. www.powertosing.com/
Thank you for offer. I have sent you email with request for a lsesson.
What if my throats moves out and just a little up? If that's not okay- I am pretty sure I have no idea how to decouple my swallowing muscles from singing higher. :(
Hi Chuck, will these exercises guaranteed to work for puberty like me? Because I don't have enough money to buy the fast track exercises and I badly want to sing :( and will exercises like these can work for me?
Sure! As long as you do them as demonstrated. But it's harder for teen guys for sure. This may help: www.powertosing.com/teen-boy-regain-your-falsetto/
@@PowerToSing Thanks for your response Chuck, appreciated it so much!
@@PowerToSing btw, my vocal type is pulled chest- high larynx :)
@@joshuacadion614 You can do it Josh!
@@joshuacadion614 Same as me!
En el ejercicio del gui se pasa a voz de cabeza o siempre estamos en pecho?
I put this on google and asked for a translation. It said:
In the exercise of the gui is passed to the head or are we always in the chest? As the pitch goes up, the vibrations move into the head cavities and above the hard palate.
What if I am unable to trill my tongue?
+Doum Sound Great question. If you can not trill your tongue, you can use "goo" (as in "new") in it's place. Make sure the the "goo" doesn't change as you go higher. There is a tendency to let the vowel spread to "ouh" or "uh" or even "ah". Placing your fingers into your cheeks to help maintain "oo" lips might help. This will help keep the external swallowing muscles out of it.
My vocal range decreased by doing this, and I have experience in exercises and warm ups so I don’t think it was the technique, most likely the amount of the exercise.
Hi Balex are you male or female?
Power To Sing I’m a male and can normally reach a A4 and belt my self to B4 and occasionally C5. After this I for some reason couldn’t reach a F#4 or a G4 without force or straining.
I can do the lip trills but when I do tongue trills it’s breaks into air when I get higher what should I do
For now, stay with the Lip Trills. Instead of tongue trills either do lip trills or goo or koo.
so its going good im getting all the sounds rigth but im feeling a discomfort in the back of my throat
cant tell if its "that bad" that i sould stop or if its good for at least the excercise
Don't do it as hard or loud. Reduce how loud you are doing the exercises by 1/2. See what happens.
@@PowerToSing I'll try it but I tend to have a break when doing so
@@wwemj213 Do it just barely loud enough to maintain the connection.
@@PowerToSing so i still can do it but im going to a headier mix quicker then you do in the video,if i add some more air i can hit a chestier mix,not sure if in time i could hit a chestier mix if i practice the headier mix now
super! ill be doing that properly now. also, i was wanting to know if you or anyone else has had THIS problem? im a baritone 60 years old and pretty much have been singing all my life. all just in the shower type singing. it wasnt until i dd my 1st ever karaoke in oct that i got the bug to really sing. i vocalize 5 times a week and do all the scale stuff. i have found that i have a sticking point. i sing lets say an, e and it will feel like something is keeping me from going higher but i can actually go significantly higher. all lower register is good and high is getting better but there one area that is a problem for me. sound familiar? thanks a
Sounds like you are hitting the bridge. The exercises for Pulled Chest High Larynx will help you get the larynx down. This will help you get through this problem area.
I have a problem, always when i warm up with this video, my voice starts to be light and notes like G#4 aren't problem for me, I can reach even higher. But it lasts only hour or two and then my voice become tired and it's just like if i didn't warm up. I don't do this every day, but when I do, it's always same. Could you please tell me what do I have to do to keep my voice fine? :/ edit: I watched this video ruclips.net/video/u3eIAiAKgIg/видео.html and now I know what I have to change :)
same problem with me..after doing this exercise my voice gets tired quickly
@@damnyoufk If your voice feels "tired" after doing this, it might mean you're doing them too much or too often, or incorrectly. I often don't warm up for very long, since simply talking warms up the voice and people talk a lot more often than they sing. At most, I have only ever done these things for about 15 minutes a day. The point of the exercises are to get your muscles used to the feeling of performing actions conducive to good singing. So, do the exercises for a little bit (sing lightly) and then try singing with the feeling the exercises gave you.
Well my vocal range increased a lot since i wrote this comment, my highest singable note is D5 and voice lasts much longer than it used to.
@@agriel9102 thats great..keep it up bro..can u share some of your recordings..
thanks for the info bro..that problem is fixed now..it was the same reason.. i was going too hard..now i practice it with speech level
for women, what keys should we start and finish on for these exercises?
www.powertosing.com/pulled-chest-high-larynx-2/ There are several. Here is a link to find free downloads for women and men.
Why is my " Nay-Nay" so raspy ? Am I doing som wrong ? Any pointers?
Raspy neys are often results of a pinched or squeezed high larynx. It's hard to give you specific direction because it's different for each person. 1. Try doing it softer, 2. try witchier or brattier, 3. try it more firmly, 4. try it more relaxed. 5. go quickly to the "e" part of "Neyeeee" almost like you are saying "knee" instead of "ney". If none of these work, focus in on the dopy gee. It may work better.
Hi Chuck I've a question Are we building our voice to be our own perpect Speech Level when we sing or we are actually just sculpting down our voice to our own perpect Speech Level when we sing with exercises? I mean do we all already have our own perpect speech level voice to reach to when we sing or we are to build it from bottom to a certain point of our own voice? I want to hear thoughts on it.
More than anything we want to develop a balance between the air and vocal cords by eliminating tension and reach. This is usually very close to the way we talk comfortably face to face. By doing this, we can discover our full potential and discover our best voice which is within us.
Power To Sing Then it's more of discovering that is already there rather than building that doesn't exist?
Sort of. May it's like abs. You want to show your abs when wearing your bathing suit. So you have to diet to get rid of the fat that is covering your ads. And you have to exercise to develop your abs. So when you can see them they look really good. Same way with singing. Get rid of what is covering your voice, and develop your the voice that is there so it sounds it's best.
Perfect.... :)
what songs do you suggest i sing to strengthen my voice??
Which Are you trying to strengthen? Your chest voice? Mix voice? Head voice?
Hey Chuck, I sent an Audio and my vocal type is High Larynx Pulled Chest, but when trying to do these exercises along with the video my voice flips to falsetto and hurts a bit.
Two ways to get through without breaking. With medium to medium soft volume, bratty neys which need to be really witchy and exaggerated, or dopey gee's or goo's which need to be with a dumb or dopey sound. Bubble lips will almost always work to get the larynx down. You may want to :Watch this video and follow the directions. ruclips.net/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/видео.html
My sound very easy to crack when go to high pitch😢, what can I do? And thanks for your helping😢
This is the perfect video for you. Also check out these others: www.powertosing.com/pulled-chest-high-larynx/
Watch the videos, download the exercises and start working on them. I think you will find them helpful and good luck! You will recognize one of the videos as a duplicate.
Thank you! Very appreciate for your helping😊
How do I apply this to songs if I don’t know how/can’t really use my voice? Idk it all just seems so confusing
Many singers have been helped a great deal by taking some voice lessons. They helped me a lot!
@@PowerToSing I’ve taken some, should I just try another coach? Thank you!
@@PowerToSing Shes more operatic but I wanna do R&B, maybe I should try one in my genre 👍🏽
@@Me-ec1qj If it's not working for you ...and you have done the work, try another teacher. You can always go back.
i would like to know if when doing the bratty neys, it sounds like the larynx is going high. is this the case or are we keeping low as always?
Hi stormchsr 101, when you do the bratty neys the larynx is going up. It is a high larynx exercise. Don't do it too loud and stay bratty/witchy. You will not pull chest if done correctly. Great question!
so what do you prefer before perfomance? for this vocal types
If I were warming up my voice before a performance as a pulled chest-high larynx vocal type I'd do the exercises available here: www.powertosing.com/downloads/?category=15&gender=24&vtype=13
