I can only do the first two styles and the fifth and sixth styles which use chest voice as a fundamental, but I cannot do the third and fourth styles and the last style of throat singing that use a mix of chest voice and false vocal cords as a fundamental, which are similar to what most refer to as chest bass, as it’s not easy for me to make that sound and to get into the right pitch...
What is admirable is that this guy is not Inuit, Mongolian, Siberia or any other population where overtone singing is traditional. He does it like a master.
low key the most racist shit ive ever seen thumbed up by so many people... its admirable cause hes not white? or is it ok to appropriate inuit, siberian, mongolian or other peoples into white peoples culture? just trying to get a basis... besides... theres only one race right?
That was so beautiful. Wish more Americans recognized this form of singing. Then I wouldn't feel like such a freak when I tell/show people how awesome it is!
+MagnitudePerson Hi! You seem to have forgotten how to "human." Let me show you how it's done: You, MagnitudePerson, can like WHATEVER you want to and I, Stephanie, promise to never make fun of you for it. ;) XOXO Happy Valentines Day!
But there is no whistling... There is only one tone (at least for most types) that is generated from your throat. Kargyraa however does have 2 tones generated by your throat. Types like borbangnadyr do have a whistle generated and that's the quivering sound.
Yeah its one of my favorites. Im beginning to be able to makeit after practicing sygyt for more than 1 month. I learned alone, but im not close to him yet.
When I was a kid of 7, I used to be able to sing the Dag Kargyraa style, but my mother and grandmother made me quit doing it in fear I was going to hurt my vocal cords. Little did they know,... sad really.
It may not be a bad thing they did that......vocal warm-up exercises are necessary to avoid damaging the vocal chords....one of the other throat singers mentions this here on a RUclips tutorial I watched (sorry, blanking on the name of the tutor).
very primal and alluring. like a natural didgeridoos of sorts, but with more possibilities. I looked up because of a segment on a Big Bang Theory episode and I'm very glad I did. I love it. thankyou
I used to do this as a kid and my family thought I was weird, I didn't know it was a thing so I stopped doing it and eventually lost the ability... Trying to get back into it.
Amazing job, friend. For the person who thinks its a recording because he can't "whistle at the same time" I applaud your ignorance. That is what overtones sound like. There is a base sound, and a seperate sound that is created in various ways most notably with the shape of the mouth and tongue. Ddidgeridoo players use a similar technique with tongue and cheek movements to produce overtones. This is the epitome of wonderful overtone singing. :]
I just received a lesson from Alex and I can tell that he's very nice to learn from. As I have never had any singing lessons, it was nice to experience that I felt relaxed during the session because of Alex' teaching style. Beforehand it gave me a little confidence that I sing along with overtone singers for a while now when I drive my car.
This type of music-making was introduced to me by a maker of musical instruments, Dave Monette. He's tuned into ultimate resonance and this is as pure an example of what the human body can do on its own. Absolutely superb, Mr. Glenfield.
we all play eos and are watching overtone singing vids. the odds of that are too low. not only are we stoned, i think this might be evidence that we are all smoking from the same bag. and that bag, in another life, overtone sang and killed dragons.
watching you sing I know for sure if I tried it I'll probably have a stoke or pass out. Well done for learning how to do it and living to tell the tale.
Please ignore silly comments from others. What you've demonstrated is very impressive indeed. (I also say this as an accomplished musician.and singer.) I am sending you email separately. Your video truly is Most Excellent indeed. Please keep contributing.
There's something about these singing styles...those higher pitched overtones that I find very compelling. It's kind of eerie and beautiful. I wish I could do it...it must make one's head vibrate and tingle in interesting ways! 🙂
If I didn't know what I was listening to and didn't have the video to go by, I'd think one person was playing a didgeridoo while another person played some kind of high-pitched wind instrument like a whistle, flute, piccolo, or fife.
Alex Glenfield really curious how did you learn it cauz I really thought it’s only in our ancestors blood but no one else can do it 😂 I admire your skills
'SO GREATFUL TO FILL MY HUNGRY EARS THIS MORNING WITH SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GROOVE, HUMBLED AND ELATED BY THE OUTSTANDING CREATIVITY OF LIVINGNESS FLOWING THROUGH YOU, AS OFTEN THE CASE, THE HOLY AH-HA'S I RECEIVE ESCORT MY IGNORANCE, SUCH A SURPRISE OF JOY, THANK YOU VERY BIG'
I can't tell you how many times I have cried watching videos of Tuvan singing or any kind of throat singing I mean it moves me and just touches my heart listening to the beautiful songs
1. Lower vocal tract mostly. 2. Upper tract mostly. [ tight mouth ] 3. mostly lower tract, some upper [ expressive mouth ] 4. I give up... I bet this guy can mimic people with no problem, he has epic tract control. I think it is very cool.
I have good tract control and can do some of these sounds, I prefer mimicking people tho ;0) I had my Hyoid bone broken when I was 17 and found it increased the lower tract extension.
Fantastic!!! Ik just keep watching and listening en trying to learn to do better. I am 50 years old and loved doing this as a kid (came naturally) but now I have to try so hard... Worth it, love it! :D
I came across a video a couple years ago on u-tube if Huun-Huur-Tu and was blown away and amazed by their performance. I fall asleep listening to them almost every night. You’re definitely part of the playlist now.
I have no clue how on earth he is doing that whole overtone thing. Closest I can figure, is he's whistling through his nose while he sings the other notes. :P Which goes to show that this absolutely blows my mind. ^^U
Honestly with watching his videos I leaned a lot on how to do it myself I’m not as good has he is and I feel like I’m not understanding something in some styles. My overtones need lots of works
Excellent!. I just figured out how to do the Dag Kargyraa by accident singing along with pineal gland activation music, and then went to reading about it and found this. Blew my own mind. It sounds so cool. I always thought the monks chanting like this all just had really deep voices. Not the case it seems. Great video, very skillful. Thank you! Actually I just had to edit this post to add that it could have been Chylandyyk I was doing. It was one of those two anyways. Also I'd like to add/ask... These are great examples but where can I learn to actually do this stuff?
Are you still offering SKYPE lessons, mindcaptain? I would like to scare off the children that pass my house after school. Also, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU to you too
SKYPE lessons still available! I guarantee results during the first lesson. Send an email to receive details on how to experience profound sonic fascination and transcendent connection with your voice, breath, and body! alexglenfield(at)hotmail(dot)com
Alex Glenfield I may take you up on that offer. I'd send you and email and get your skype name to have for when I'm ready if that's alright. this was amazing by the way,
I ask that you send an email to ask about cost as I slide the scale depending where you are in the world. So, please do that and I'll send you back a spiel. Thanks!
I've been practicing for about a year and a half, and I believe I can pull off all the styles successfully except maybe sygyt. I'm not sure how well perfected I am is the problem. I'll have to see how much cash I have available, but I would love to hit you up for some Skype lessons!
wiccanwarrior9 Well, the overtones come from the vocal chords. They're already "there" when you sing, the tongue and lips are simply used to make them "ring", so to say.
wiccanwarrior9 His mouth is the sound box for the sound from his vocal cords. By adjusting his tongue and lips, he's reshaping the sound box, which results in an amplification of the overtones (high pitches). From the wikipedia page for "overtone singing": ``Overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, or harmonic singing, is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the resonances (or formants) created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out the lips to produce a melody.'' The manipulation is done using the lips and tongue.
I ve heard several Inuit girls throat singing (on video) who get really deep. Wolf growling and all. It‘s possible with a lot of practice. But be gentle, especially the deep tones can damage the untrained vocal cords.
As a Baroque Cellist, this is stunning to see and hear. How does one know they should pursue and learn this incredible singing? Wow, period. Thank you for this video.
I've received reports that if you play this for your cat or dog, there is no need for yearly rabies vaccinations. The result is either psychosomatically sono-chemical, or it just scares all creatures into isolation.
Impresionante!!!!. Qué asombroso ...! Con qué facilidad prendiste todos los métodos en sólo seis meses estando en Mongolia Qué talento !!! Felicitaciones!!
I love you this is so amazingly beautiful and you are so talented. Overtone singing brings me tot ears sometimes. So much talent so much beauty so much healing from this voice. Thank you so much for sharing, this is so incredibly beautiful
Jason Gormally honestly you don't make any sense. Why you ask? Because it's Asian style of singing. And this irregular style of singing for a European person. The issue you've brought up is absolutely irrelevant in this case. It's rather a compliment than anything else. If you see racist comment in this, I'm very sorry for you. Truly. Music has no race, but style of music often has origin. This in that case it's Asia. Which is not Europe. You can call me whatever you want but this has nothing to do with neither my comment nor with the topic.
Jason Gormally and I really don't want develop this argument to a demagogy level. If you would like carry on, but I'm done proving myself to someone who I don't even know in person.
Great sound!! I started teaching mysefl as well many years ago without knowing at all how to do it. It just came naturally, and on a DMT experience I started doing kagiira chanting without controlling it. I somehow realized I had been Mongolian in a past life or something. Still can't explain how to do it, but it comes naturally- still, there are some varieties here that really fascinate me and would like to try and learn more. thanks for the great demostration!
On this day I have discovered this singing style. Just so you know. And it set me to wondering. The indigenous aborigines of Australia use the didgeridoo with circular breathing. Perhaps Tuvan throat singing was like a foundation skill, and the didg came much later. And aboriginal culture stretches an astonishing span back in time. Tuvan. Speculation yes. And was this style used in war time? This would sound very unnerving to the enemy in darkened forest or rocky landscape. Coupled with superstition it would surely have been a handy bit of laughing gear.
Sparky It is said that throat singing is the forerunner to language. Also, the Germanic tribes supposedly used a for of throat singing to terrify the Romans.

That whistling sound is amazing.

I don't know what that is.
+lalalandhigh when you study phisics you will understand
Physics
But there is no whistling...
There is only one tone (at least for most types) that is generated from your throat. Kargyraa however does have 2 tones generated by your throat.
Types like borbangnadyr do have a whistle generated and that's the quivering sound.
That Sygyt style with the whistling tone underlying is so amazing.
Oh my gosh, the Khoomei Borbangnadyr is incredible. Is it just me, or is he singing THREE distinct tones simultaneously?
It's actually possible to sing four simultaneously. Pretty amazing! This guy is really good, too. LOTS of practice.
Amanda Burkhart yep a few years of practice
Yes, i heard it too. One with vocal cords, another with lip vibrations and the other with whistle. Really amazing.
Yeah its one of my favorites. Im beginning to be able to makeit after practicing sygyt for more than 1 month. I learned alone, but im not close to him yet.
The next one is also awesome.
This is actually kind of soothing to listen to...
damn you could probably conjure Genghis khan with that
Hahah best comment
Lol!!! 😂
Yes
Necromancy?
@Grozaaïmid It' not his name, its his title. His name is Temur or Temurjin.
Mate, you are phenomenal.
Respect from Tuva! So professionaly sang. I myself can only sing Kargyraa, and then all styles are spasmodic.
When I was a kid of 7, I used to be able to sing the Dag Kargyraa style, but my mother and grandmother made me quit doing it in fear I was going to hurt my vocal cords. Little did they know,... sad really.

Cynthia Smith-Heiden thats why I'm here too!
Lol I'm here because of a Frasier episode.
Very good
Sheldon's throat singing was pretty on point!!!
First one sounds like bagpipes. Which is AMAZING.
Bagpipes were for the people that couldn't throat sing
It's said that the ancient Germanic tribes did this kind of singing too.. And would scare the shit out of Romans with it
Sig Throat singing is supposedly the forerunner to language itself.
Sig xD
I think Roman formation scared the germanics more.
Sig Sardinians too try to check on RUclips "Cantu a tenore".
Nope.
Man who are you? A very old soul perhaps? This brings tears to my eyes, i am deeply touched. I also would like to master the craft... Thank you
I swear, somehow a famous Tuvan guy vid made me tear up
I remember seeing this video around 2011, it's just as impressive now as it was back then!
10 years of perfection. Seriously, I'm absolutely mesmerized. Absolutely Grand!
Over 12.5 years later and the algorithm is still finding interested first-timers to wow! 🗣〰💯👏
The whistling is so hard to achieve, but when you do, it's so satisfying both in style and sensation in the throat.
how many eagles do you summon on a daily basis?
I used to do this as a kid and my family thought I was weird, I didn't know it was a thing so I stopped doing it and eventually lost the ability...
Trying to get back into it.
+porschetiger3 overtone singing or throat singing?

Overtone singing.

Back to the Discovery channel. LOL
if i were a girl and someone serenated me with an overtone tune i bet i'd get all wet lol
Smart African I confirm for the males ... :/
Fantastic!
I heard songs with these sounds, but thought it was in the mixing, with special effects or flutes added. Now it is completely real. Wow
And here I am, after two long years, being able to sing 5 out of these 7 styles.
Thank you for your amazing help :)

I read many, many of the comments and they seem nothing more than complimentary and/or fascinated. Don't really know what you read.
Really unique i love it. I wish i knew and could do all vocal techniques in the world.
There's something about these singing styles...those higher pitched overtones that I find very compelling. It's kind of eerie and beautiful. I wish I could do it...it must make one's head vibrate and tingle in interesting ways! 🙂
That sygyt style overtone is simply amazing
Agreed
If I didn't know what I was listening to and didn't have the video to go by, I'd think one person was playing a didgeridoo while another person played some kind of high-pitched wind instrument like a whistle, flute, piccolo, or fife.
So amazing! Hats off to anyone mastering this technique!

Lucky for you this doesn't require whistling then! ;)

gives me chills
have you tried it after sulfur hexafluoride? that would be pretty dope i think
Especially with Dag Kyrgyeraa.

I’m self taught and will continues to try to hit this level
Wow, imagine living in the same apartment complex as this guy :-) very talented though, my favourite is the Chylandyyk
Saw this video in 2010, and it still draws me back every day. Never looses beauty.
I'm interested!
I'm very interested!
1. Lower vocal tract mostly.
2. Upper tract mostly. [ tight mouth ]
3. mostly lower tract, some upper [ expressive mouth ]
4. I give up...
I bet this guy can mimic people with no problem, he has epic tract control.
I think it is very cool.
He gives Skype Lessons!
I have good tract control and can do some of these sounds, I prefer mimicking people tho ;0)
I had my Hyoid bone broken when I was 17 and found it increased the lower tract extension.
Yeesh... I hope I don't have to do that to join you in singing. :)
But at least something good, I hope, came from that injury.
I had to save my own life by manually manipulating my own windpipe, the punch closed it totally.
The last one was like a human didgeridoo!
Fantastic!!! Ik just keep watching and listening en trying to learn to do better. I am 50 years old and loved doing this as a kid (came naturally) but now I have to try so hard... Worth it, love it! :D
Unlike some people in the comments, this is exactly what I sought out 😂
Incredible work, and amazing technique, precision, and clarity!
Yea me too as well, just pure throat singing without any music, astonishing...
I think I can kinda do this, but I sound more like Fat Albert than a Tibetan Monk.
Hey hey hey!
@Tağudar Yalçın tibetan monks also throat sing.
Tağudar Yalçın did you have to be so butt hurt lmao
Tağudar Yalçın you do know tibet has throat singing right? And this person could possibly be practicing Tibetan throat signing
I sound just perfect! But my family disagree 🤔 they obviously have some hearing problems though, I can see their ears bleeding.
I came across a video a couple years ago on u-tube if Huun-Huur-Tu and was blown away and amazed by their performance. I fall asleep listening to them almost every night. You’re definitely part of the playlist now.
Just listening to this puts me in a semi-altered state of consciousness, it's really freaking weird.
I have no clue how on earth he is doing that whole overtone thing. Closest I can figure, is he's whistling through his nose while he sings the other notes. :P
Which goes to show that this absolutely blows my mind. ^^U
anyjen there was no whistling. What you heard was a resonance.
From what I've seen so far you're pushing on the roof of your mouth with your tongue.
THIS IS EXCELLENT! I have spent about a decade playing with these without knowing their names.
Damn, you're GOOD at this.
self taught?? I think you just remember how to from your former life.
indeed
Bringing your past life talents forward
...."now that's gangsta"
just a matter of time until he is recognised as a reincarnation of a great tibetan lama!!
Honestly with watching his videos I leaned a lot on how to do it myself I’m not as good has he is and I feel like I’m not understanding something in some styles. My overtones need lots of works
How disrespectful to the practice people put in to build skills
This is the most beautiful exciting kind of music I have found in a long time. Amazing how the human voice can do this.

where is that high pitch whistling noise coming from?
overtone from his lip and tongue shape.
sanenomore2004 no, it isn't. it's coming from the vocal chords
CanOChili true, but the shape of his tongue and lips is what changes the pitch.
wiccanwarrior9 Well, the overtones come from the vocal chords. They're already "there" when you sing, the tongue and lips are simply used to make them "ring", so to say.

I want to learn the dag kargyraa style but I’m a girl and idk if my vocal chords can take going that low
I ve heard several Inuit girls throat singing (on video) who get really deep. Wolf growling and all. It‘s possible with a lot of practice. But be gentle, especially the deep tones can damage the untrained vocal cords.

I love you this is so amazingly beautiful and you are so talented. Overtone singing brings me tot ears sometimes. So much talent so much beauty so much healing from this voice. Thank you so much for sharing, this is so incredibly beautiful
I'm actually impressed. White guy doing Asian style of singing. Very impressive
Nice of your to share your racist attitude with us.
Jason Gormally bru, how is that racist???
Greenjah81 because what race he is shouldn't have any bearing on his style.
Jason Gormally honestly you don't make any sense. Why you ask? Because it's Asian style of singing. And this irregular style of singing for a European person. The issue you've brought up is absolutely irrelevant in this case. It's rather a compliment than anything else. If you see racist comment in this, I'm very sorry for you. Truly. Music has no race, but style of music often has origin. This in that case it's Asia. Which is not Europe. You can call me whatever you want but this has nothing to do with neither my comment nor with the topic.
Jason Gormally and I really don't want develop this argument to a demagogy level. If you would like carry on, but I'm done proving myself to someone who I don't even know in person.
is it easier to learn overtone if you already have a bit of music knowledge.
Great sound!! I started teaching mysefl as well many years ago without knowing at all how to do it. It just came naturally, and on a DMT experience I started doing kagiira chanting without controlling it. I somehow realized I had been Mongolian in a past life or something. Still can't explain how to do it, but it comes naturally- still, there are some varieties here that really fascinate me and would like to try and learn more. thanks for the great demostration!
On this day I have discovered this singing style. Just so you know. And it set me to wondering. The indigenous aborigines of Australia use the didgeridoo with circular breathing. Perhaps Tuvan throat singing was like a foundation skill, and the didg came much later. And aboriginal culture stretches an astonishing span back in time. Tuvan. Speculation yes. And was this style used in war time? This would sound very unnerving to the enemy in darkened forest or rocky landscape. Coupled with superstition it would surely have been a handy bit of laughing gear.
Sparky It is said that throat singing is the forerunner to language. Also, the Germanic tribes supposedly used a for of throat singing to terrify the Romans.
