I have just bought your unbelievably reasonable Fast Track for pulled chest high larynx course ($20!).
I just did the 30min exercise session and understood for the first time ever exactly why I was doing the exercises and exactly how to do them and more importantly how not to do them!
I have previously bought KTVA, Victoria, Brett Manning courses and now know that whilst I was doing their exercises as well as I could, because I didn't know what you explained I have been doing them wrong for too many years and have got nowhere except into very deep pulled chest straining voice!
I cannot recommend getting your correct voice type course enough and it is a steal!
Whatever course you are doing get this education!
Awesome! Thanks Cloppa2000! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad it's helping you!
Hi. My goal is singing the best l can. For adoring God as well as singing ballads in a very familiar small cafe after retiring. I m not leaving out the chance of studying music in a couple of years or so. Im afraid you got one more follower all the way from Mexico City. Sorry for you as l ask so often. Thanks and blessings.
Sounds great! Have fun! and ask away. :)
I agree with everything you said, I've had many vocal coaches throughout my life but I only learned all the 10 things you mentioned with you as my vocal coach.
Thanks Guerdie, I'm glad we connected!
Great Video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Max!
Always great content
Thanks Robert!
Mr.Chuck your are the one of my favorite theacher i love your content and how you theach keep goin.
Sorry if i have bad grammar
Thanks PW!
For many decades, ongoing research and development has been churning in the complex field of vocal coaching. The aspiration is to refine the crude design of an advanced vocal training system that not only produces precise trill-dynamic resonance in alignment with unilateral pitch modulators but also has the capability of autotuning the octavian harmonics. This revolutionary machine is the 'Turbo Vocalizator.'
The original device was built upon a base plate of preverberated soundolith, topped by a pliable phonological casing that was arranged such that the dual oscillating phoneme-cogs were directly in line with the symphonetic fan. The entire setup involved merely seven sonocentric tonalflanges, fitted so seamlessly to the polyphonic diapasongear that any pitch fumbling was effectively inhibited.
The core resonator was of the typical melodo-lambda kind and was embedded in the panacoustic semi-sonoroid recesses of the stator, every sixth conductor being connected by an irreversible sound pipe to the differential cadence coil on the 'sharp' end of the melogrammeters.
The Turbo Vocalizator has now reached a pinnacle of refinement and is being utilized successfully in the operation of semiquaver modulations. Yet, in spite of the latest advances, efforts are still being focused on harmonizing the dissonant sforzando glitches while further enhancing the contralto pre-emphasis matrix.
It's imperative to note that the Turbo Vocalizator requires no direct input from the vocal practitioner, thanks to its autodidactic contrapuntal spline. Instead, it intelligently learns from each phonemic pitch variegation and self-adjusts according to the stochastic reverberation theorem. Truly, the Turbo Vocalizator is a marvel in the world of advanced vocal coaching.
Sounds like a singer I once knew. :)

love and respect you from bangladesh.. you're my best teacher .. i haven't any singing teacher i started to follow you
Thanks!

Hey, I’m Georg and 3 years ago I injured my voice while singing. For about 2 years I haven’t been able to talk without pain and swelling feeling at all so I’ve not talked at all. I’ve consulted with my doctors and they’ve told me to exercise speaking regularly even if there’s pain but I want to spread my story to get second opinions.
I used to sing a lot for several years before my injury. Some days even about 3 hours a day. Went to singing school sometimes, learn a bit of the (CVT vocal technique)
One evening, I started to sing and my voice was not that great that day and I also drank a milk product before what causes my throat to produce a lot of mucus and thick feeling.
I tried to sing one high note, but I couldn't reach it, so I squeezed my neck and vocal chords to get that high note and that’s how I injured my voice.
From that day on my vocal injury has gone worse to the point that for 2 years now, I haven’t been speaking at all. Just a couple of words in one year.
The reason for it is now when I speak, my vocal chords and thyroid area get “swollen” and painful(nerve pinching pain).
I put swollen in brackets, because I’ve been to a laryngoscope and the camera didn’t detect any swelling in my vocal chords when they looked at it. And also they didn’t find anything other than couple of granulomas(not on the vocal chords) which could have been caused by some food intolerance.
The vocal chords were just weak and atrophied.
Going back to 2021 when I firstly injured my voice.
The symptoms then were similar, there was the swelling feeling, and nerve pain.
(it’s really weird to me that there was no swelling detected on camera, because when I get the swelling feeling, my whole throat feels so swollen. I even got a thyroid ultrasound, but nothing was detected there)
So back then, basically I still could use my voice after the injury. So I had to not speak for a couple of weeks and then the swelling feeling went away.
And I could practice again and talk.
But as time went on. The swelling came back and back. I gave it more and more rest, to make the swelling go away.(one doctor back then even said that don’t stop speaking, but for me it didn’t make sense cause my throat felt so swollen and nerve pinching pain was quite bad).
So I gave it more and more rest and as the time went on, about a year from the injury, I could only speak about 20 minutes a day.
And it was difficult to avoid the swelling feeling and pain away, so I gave it more and more rest, until it became so bad that last year I couldn’t even laugh and this swelling feeling came back.
It has since got minimally better now, but still I can only laugh about 5 times a day or less.
My question is, if I start to practice again and ignore the swelling feeling in my throat and the nerve pain, would it injure me even more.
That’s what I’m worried about.
If someone told me that “100%, you will not injure your voice more when practicing through the pain”, then I would start.
The last doctor said exactly that, but I needed to get a second opinion somewhere else, because I’m scared to injure my vocal chords even worse, to the point that I could lose my vocal chords forever.
Thank you for reading it the whole way through and I would love to hear your opinion! Thank you in advance! :)
Please ASAP go see an ENT that specializes in singing and have then give you a scope of the vocal cords. Make sure they have state of the art cameras and video equipment and will give you copies of the video and images they take. If they don't have the ability to do that, see someone who can. It's important to get there as soon as possible.
My goal is evenness of scale so that I am not limited to the safety of using just high notes or just low notes in my singing selections.
Hi T.J. Good Goal!
Sir, your mixed voice have helped me a lot and I have been developing my confidence in singing. Please keep uploading videos because they are extremely helpful
Thanks @chadtag!
I just started following your content and I love them! Can you become my vocal coach? I don’t know if someone already asked this question but I’m serious.😊 You’re awesome!😊
Thanks Ivory &Me! I teach alot of students via skype and in studio. Use this if you want to schedule: SCHEDULE YOUR LESSON HERE: www.powertosing.com/schedule-lesson/
Thanks for your speedy response! I will be signing up soon! Do you have any breathing techniques? I’ve had asthma for 20 years of my singing career and this has really put a damper on my vocal abilities. Now that I’m completely healed of the literally breathtaking disease, I don’t know how to breathe properly while singing. Any pointers?

Hey I know you probably won't see this. Love your videos. I'm trying to get into singing but my voice is scratchy. My voice tends to crack and pretty much sound like I'm whispering.
I'm 17 and have my dads deeper base tone voice. And I want to learn how to sing higher
Hi Scott: Start here: ruclips.net/p/PLc6YT-50Ji8HOB7VSpjcPMEV6IKiNB5Gz then, Depending on how committed you are, my recommendation is to take lessons: SCHEDULE YOUR LESSON HERE: www.powertosing.com/schedule-lesson/
@@PowerToSing thank you soo very much sir!!!
Thank you for your reply on the other comment, how can I overcome nervousness when trying a new pitch or different tune in front of public? This thing put me under so much stress my legs collapsed then, and surely I would love to know how to prevent this from happening again.
Much of what you are doing (I think) is improvisational right? I would practice specifically exactly what you want to sing. Then I would practice it 50 times until you can do it without thinking. You will have much more confidence when you do it in public.
I tried reciting it today as if I was doing it live in front of the mic but with the mic off of course, it went smoothly, i think maybe if I applied your suggestion with that, things would turn out wonderful, thanks again, I really appreciate it.
@@mohammadal-khatib98 You can do it Mohammad, I am sure!
I'm 20, I visited many teachers in my country (iran) and none satisfied me honestly.
I am currently taking lessons with one of them, though.
Since women aren't allowerd to sing solo here, it's really hard to find a good teacher.
I haven't decided about the genre or other details but I definitely want a singing career.
My vocal range is e3 to c6 but i have no vibrato in g6 and higher.
I do have an acceptable technique other than my vibrato problems but i would like to gain a more powerful voice and sing louder.
I'm trying to develop a better voice till the next year from youtube on my own to audition for college abroad.
I'm doing random exercises for one hour daily and I feel like I'm improving.
I really need a singing plan to improve faster but i dont know what to do.
And I don't think I can pay dollars for my classes.
It doesn't need to be complex. 1. Start here: www.powertosing.com/discover-your-vocal-type-wt 2. After you get your vocal type then begin doing exercises for your vocal type for rapid improvement. www.powertosing.com/fast-track-exercises-vsl/
Hi Chuck. I found a camera scope picture of the cords zipping.
Cool.
Off topic question but I am really curious how you identify the notes that a singer is using to create the melody so you can make sure when you're practicing you are practicing the right notes and not wondering off into some other key, or just generally off tune??
I can play them on the piano....sound them out by ear. You can also buy the music many times. There the notes for the melody are written down. Another way is record yourself singing the melody and listen back to it and see if it sounds like the song's melody. Or get a friend who sings or who is a musician to listen to you and have them tell you if you are singing the correct notes of the melody. Make it simple like "If I fell in love with You" by the Beatles.
Hi Chuck, What is Purpose of Lip Buzzing Vocal Exercises ??
Keeps larynx down, develops the ability of your vocal cords to adjust from chest to middle to head voice and back, allows you to experience the shifting of the resonance from chest to middle to head voice and back down. It's also a great warm up. All of this safely and quickly.
@@PowerToSing thanks
@@anywaythanksdude3246 You bet!
Hi Mr Gilmore,
I’m writing to learn about something unrelated to this video, but please excuse me, you are currently the most active vocal coach that I can get a response from at the moment. My question is about breath support for my voice (and most probably my overall muscular coordination/health aswell).
When I (try to) inhale with my diaphragm, a dull pain pulsates in my shoulder(s) and my body stiffens.
Is this normal? I’m completely new to breathing in this way (and singing as a whole I suppose), so I’m not too sure what I’m doing. I lock my shoulders and ribcage in place as I push out my stomach. Could my posture be wrong? Please let me know why this happens. If it is not about technique, what could be wrong with me? Could I possibly have a chronic illness?
Thank you in advance.
It is not normal. Do you awake at nights with the same dull pain? You breath with the assistance of the diaphragm when you are asleep. What these videos and see if it helps: www.powertosing.com/ep-15-how-to-sing-breath-with-diaphragm/ and then Ep 16...also on breathing.
How to lyrics to composs and sing
Definitely you should research your area to see if there are song writers meetings locally and attend those meetings.
Hi Chuck Gilmore I'm a beginner and I'm confused on where to start should i start with my vocals or something can you help me please? I'm a new subscriber
Well, you can start anywhere you would like. Many people sing for years before taking a lesson. My youtube channel has many videos you can watch that will help. If you want to jump right in you may want to start here: www.powertosing.com/discover-your-vocal-type-wt
@@PowerToSing Thanks Chuck you're the best ❤️
This isn't related to the video, but I just needed a little bit of help. I have been listening to my singing and I notice I go off pitch at certain points. It does not because I strain I just don't notice I am off pitch while I'm singing and only discover after listening back. What should I do to improve my pitch whilst singing?
1. Awareness is the first step...which you have now taken. 2. Listen to a lot of songs and sing with them. 3. Look into an App: www.erolstudios.com/singers-studio-voice-and-ear-training/ 4. Study an instrument like piano or violin 5. Check out online ear training courses 6. Sing in a community or church choir 7. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process of improving.
I came here to ask about the contralto vocal type, I’m a biological woman and have lots of trouble finding information about this vocal type, I’ve been looking into it so I can better pick songs to practice with for a beginner and vocal exercises that fit my voice. Ive noticed pulling chest is a big issue when trying to get past G4-F4 and into the upper range. Im curious if I should even be worried about vocal type or if its a concept I should keep in my back pocket as far as being worried about it.
In addition I found your comment about the vocal training app and its really awesome so I wanted to thank you for that information! 😉
If you are a true contralto, your first bridge is located at the E4, F and F#4. In other words, you bridge where the tenors and baritones bridge. That makes a big difference.
@@PowerToSing Thats definitely been my big issue when trying to learn, by the time I get past those notes I’m straining my voice by G4-A4 and can barely push a C5 out. Its very hard for me to relax my throat and back of tongue after E4-F4, I can feel the mechanism changing at this point. I can get past these notes but by A4-B4, thats when straining and chest pull happen really bad and I cant get further. Can I work through this passage the same way as higher female, as in the same physical mechanism are at play or should I approach this bridge differently? Also I want to make sure that the E4-F4# is the passage from mixed/chest to head voice for baritones/tenors/alto singers? Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it!
@@altpropaganda7293 The quality of your second bridge, A4, Bb, B, C5 is completely dependent on learning to bridge in your first bridge, E4,F, F#4. Begin there, get it right, and the second bridge will follow. You will do in the second bridge what you did in the first. If the first bridge isn't intact, the 2nd B. won't be either.
@@ChuckGilmore Awesome, thank you so much for your responses. I will definitely keep this advice in mind as I practice. Ill have to save up some money for a proper vocal lesson. Thanks again!
Hey chuck! I'm feeling pain in my chest every time i sing i started doing riffs and runs from last couple of months and that's when this chest pain started so i thought maybe there's something wrong in my chest i already went to the doctor he told me that everything seems fine and its just muscular pain I feel like i won't be able to sing anymore cause it feels huge tension on my chest and i start to feel really exhausted just after some minutes of singing i think i really need your guidance please help me i used to sing without tension with my voice almost 5 years but just from last month it started and I'm lost looking for solutions but nothing is working or maybe I don't know what the problem with me i really hope you can help me.....
Did you have an ENT Dr. look at your vocal cords?
No volume
Sorry about that.
Hey chuck, I have a question for you. Seth Riggs teaches early bridging, claiming that if you stretch your chest voice higher you will only damage your voice and develop nodules from essentially shouting too much in chest. On the other hand, Ken Tamplin says that you should bridge as late as you can and stretch and thin out your chest voice in order to keep that part of the voice strong. Ken claims you will atrophy your voice if you don’t keep training your upper chest voice and instead rely on early bridging. He says, “Whatever you don’t use, you lose” and that you will lose your ability to stretch chest, which will eventually effect your ability to mix. Ken claims this is the reason why Artists like Axel Rose and Geddy lee lost their voice later on. Who is right? Why are these techniques complete polar opposites? Who do I listen to?
Did Michael Jackson lose his chest voice? How about Josh Groban? or Ossy Osborne? Or Stevie Wonder? All his students....and many more.
@@PowerToSing good point
@@PowerToSing but then will I atrophy my voice if I try to stretch chest, like Seth says? What if I wanna sing like James hetfield
@@amali9044 It doesn't matter who you want to sing like, your chest voice will not atrophy when you sing correctly.
Is there a good place to find a voacal coach that isn't going to cost an arm and leg? JUst recently resigned to trying to find someone as I just don't know exactly what my issue is, and even taking your free test, I honestly can't tell what type I am without some help. The questions are slightly vague enough to where I don't realy know if some apply to me or not. THanks for any help you can give. :)
I don't know of a voice lesson clearing house. I don't think I would make a decision primarily based on the price. You want someone who understands this and is qualified to help. That should be your first criteria.
Hi Chuck. I watched a video of an SLS teacher (Michael Goodrich) that said both Mezzo Soprano and Contralto voices have lower bridges than the 1st soprano voice. Is that true? Is he mistaken?
Contralto for sure. I've always understood the Mezzo was the same as a first. I've always heard very good things about Michael. So I wouldn't discount what he is saying. But the difficulty for me personally is how do you know a Mezzo is truly a mezzo? It takes a while to work with a voice long enough that the classification and the bridge is well defined.
@@PowerToSing Gotcha. I think you're right about the Mezzo voice. The video he states this he also talks about the cords zipping so it may be somewhat out of date.
hlw sir, can you help me get rid of Airy voice while speaking.
Yes...do exercises for light chest/ no chest and then use the same condition for speaking. www.powertosing.com/light-chest-no-chest/ or these www.powertosing.com/fast-track-exercises-vsl/
I'm a (adult male) songwriter; my art is being held back by my inability to sing on pitch and create melodies for my lyrics. I don't need to become a "great singer" by any means. Is this something you can help with? Thank you
If you can't hear the pitch and match it, I'm not the right resource. If you can match pitch but you fall off pitch when you sing higher into your break area (bridge) I can help you.
Hey sir i have a question if I can reach g4 with lip trill can i use the same breathing and technique to reach it with my voice
Yes...but it's less about breathing. You can hit g4 because the larynx is staying down.
Thank you sir
Hello..I hope you will answer me..I really like singing..I have been singing since childhood..I am now 22..Although my voice is beautiful and I sing very lower pitches..But my voice becomes ugly if I raise my vocals as if I cannot sing All spontaneously and I cannot find my real voice because I sing with sharp or light layers, but I want to know my voice only..When I sing, that is fine..But if I try to sing famous songs with high notes, I can't.
What is your vocal type? If you don't know it check here: www.powertosing.com/discover-your-vocal-type-wt
Hello! Ive been watching your videos about falsetto and head voice but i still have no clue on how to get out of falsetto. I have a midtone voice and its difficult for me to get into high notes without entering falsetto. It almost feels as if theres a gap that i cant sing, so i just skip that note and head into falsetto. Please help!
Watch this to learn the difference. ruclips.net/video/1DH--KCZc8g/видео.htmlsi=X10fuw0tetYu8xY5 If you really are in falsetto and not head voice, you may want to do these exercises: www.powertosing.com/flip-falsetto/

Cancelled it earlier today and emailed you.
Hi can u tell me can i find a vocal coach in school and how can i talk to to my teachers about my singing because i have never been a girl who talk to everyone so can u tell me some tips and how to improve from nervous to confident
How old are you? What year are you in school? What kind of music do you like to sing? Have you ever taken lessons before? Are you a beginner, intermediate...etc?
I'm 13 years old,9th grade, I'm having light voice,i have not taken lessons before and i am a beginner
@@amrutasunny3414 It would probably be better to find a private teacher to study with after school hours. I don't think you will find any teachers qualified to teach you in the public school system. Music teachers, choir teachers etc are not trained to teach vocal technique to a soloist. It will make it much easier for you to get a referral from a friend who it taking lessons from a good teacher. Or you can try Skype online with a teacher of your choice. They usually have a link you can use to schedule a lesson and you don't have to talk to them until you take the lesson.
Ok sir
Sir are we to sing from enlarge stomach to chest or chest to stomach?
We can use the diaphragm to help us breath and send air to the vocal cords in our mid neck area.These create sound waves which vibrate and resonate in the throat and head cavities. We form words with our tongue and lips and, when combined with the desired pitches, we send them out of our mouths as songs!
Thank you so much sir... You just give what I really want and need to hear.... ❤❤❤
Hi! I lost my headvoice and falsetto when I was 14, and I'm now 16 years old. Since I really want my headvoice and falsetto back, may I ask what vocal exercises I should do?

Ok I have a question many years ago I was at a party and were all dancing and singing our hearts out and I opened my mouth singing and absolutely nailed it and people kinda just stopped and were like HOLY MOLY What the heck you can sing! And it’s kinda not happened again in as much intensity or clarity! I mean it completely took me by surprise as it just came out so effortlessly I’ve never been able to put my finger on what exactly I did and it really bothers me as I LOVE TO SING! And yeah! Anyway any explanations or suggestions ?
It's amazing what we can do when we are not making a judgement about it...or thinking about it too hard. Also be aware it is possible that it wasn't technically correct...even though the loudness and confidence impressed everyone. But more than likely you can develop it to be strong, confident and powerful AND technically correct! The potential is there.
@@PowerToSing thanks for replying and yeah I totally understand that 🤗 I am completely unaware of ANYTHING technical with singing so I guess if I did take any lessons or instruction I could have been able to develop something but alas I’m 48 now and getting way past it! I was just interested in what I had done and I guess we’ll never know lol was cool at the time though I suffer from ptsd and I find it hard to relax my body into anything unfortunately without taking horrible medications ooooohhhh to be young again lol
@@cassbarker1966 I started again when I was 43. You've got plenty of time to have a wonderful time singing!
