Vocal Fry and 5 Ways to Use It In Your Voice 6:23 - Lot of emotions 6:40 - Hit Lowest notes 7:45 - Metal Growl 8:44 - Easier head voice 10:09 - Lot of Tension
It's just about vowel mods. A, Ah, Oo. and Ee. The brightness is how you get mixed voice. Start lightly and build it. That's how I did it at first. Once you get the hang of vowel placements then you can go in and out of your registers. Yes it is vocal fry but with a bright tone added like your smiling in the cheeks with a lowered tongue placement.
@@ramseyvoicestudio The most important thing that Ken really doesn't explain though is YAWNING before singing and getting that space. He explains support well but not that. I had a friend that told me that last secret. It creates the vacuum and expands your rib cage. My advice to people if you can't get support then don't sing. You will be stuck in your throat. Everyone that probably comes in your studio is probably using their throat. Am I right? I even see so many people on RUclips singing with their throat and I see those muscles clamp down. The freedom you get with great support is freaking amazing. Ken just says relax your neck. I'm like bro you got to show people how to yawn and engage your support. I'm sorry that I'm ranting but this is what's wrong with more than half of RUclips. Your body will physically move from your energy. Funny enough my opera teacher didn't even explain this! He said support support. I'm like WTF is support?! Now I know. And then when you get it you might fall back into your throat on accident sometimes but it happens. You just got to keep getting that space that's required.
I've always loved vocal fry. That's why I started smoking at a young age. Now I can do it all the time. In fact, I can only do that. Don't inhale smoke, kids.
This is a good video, but I need to correct here: vocal fry is NOT the lowest vocal register. Actually, it is not a register at all. Vocal fry is your tissue vibrating when your vocal chords are very relaxed/or the tissue is very relaxed. This is why metal singers are also utilizing it in their higher register. So, with the right technique, you can make your tissue vibrate in every register and add vocal fry whenever you want. For most people it is just really difficult to add in the higher register, because it is difficult (for most people) to stay relaxed in higher registers (as also implied by you).
This is just my opinion. I think vocal fry can be harmful UNLESS maybe you warm up in the morning even if you are just using it to speak. Just my opinion.
@@ramseyvoicestudio hi, in this link a good example of vocal fry. She on America got talent this season. Can you do a reaction to her on your channel and tell us how good this kid is technically and emotionally. ruclips.net/video/jWvF43jeoh4/видео.html
also, video-related: does that mean that KAYAKO from The Grudge was singing this whole time ????? Thought she was trying to kill me maybe she just wanted to be heard
My voice naturally does this. Someone pointed it out and I didn't even know it was called vocal fry until then. Is it normal to speak like that? Because I looked it up and I get different results for "is it bad for your voice?" and not the answer to "is it normal to normally speak like that?"
Hey, i enjoy your video about singing and i use those tips on a paper everytime i practice. Thanks mate. Also fyi, maybe necklace or some head feature to throw off the hair dew. Its better longer, but your missing that spadaz, that shine. slash, jimmy, myles, matt shadows. they all got some prop or something that reps them.
(Your speaking voice is perfect open D note. ) Thank such much for sharing your knowledge..so far, tremendous...I am getting" My voice " back slowly but surely...I really need a vocal coach for more hands on the help me home in on my particular voice who can know exactly what's happening and how to adjust it immediately. To help me find my range, and what to stay away from , etc etc. (To be able to dial in the notes and chords that suit me to a "T" so I don't strain and can do 3-4 hours on stage without issue) and that won't charge me an arm and an ankle..How much wage is a high level vocal coach of the caliber I have mentioned to instruct me going to cost per...(that is fair) Thank you again.
I have this weird tendency to have a fry-like distortion on my higher an louder notes. It also switches overtones when singing or sliding scales. Can't get rid of it either. Actually going to have a doc take a look at it somwhere in the coming months (long, long waiting times), but nobody's really been able to tell me from the way it sounds what it exactly is that I'm doing. (or how to get rid of it).
@@ramseyvoicestudio Isn't vocal fry used to sing subharmonics? I think such bass singers as Geoff Castellucci or Tim Foust can reach some of 0-octave notes using subharmonic techniques even though they're not in their vocal range, but I'm not sure, you can check them out.
I have a question. Are subharmonics distinctly tied to vocal fry or is it an unrelated technique? I find that a lot of times when I want vocal fry I end up with subharmonics instead (e.g if I try to sing the scale at 7:30 I slip into the lower subharmonic octave rather than hitting the notes properly with vocal fry) and can't reliably use a proper vocal fry when I want it because it likes to do that instead.
i always assumed vocal fry was something else because i naturally have it. i just assumed that bc i do it normally, that vocal fry must be the type that gets uncomfortable and gives a sore throat quickly. that’s pretty cool because it works well with the genres im interesting in :)
Hey Matt! In some of your warm up videos, I find the male sections low ish, and feel comfortable in female. Any chance of a tenor warm up video?:D Great videos btw!!
Hey Owen, thanks for the question. Continue working with the female keys if they feel more challenging. Your male keys will get even better: ramseyvoice.com/warm-up/
@@ramseyvoicestudio Watched it in it's entirety. I can sing really aggressive without any problems. My issue addresses to sing with fry on soft passages and songs. You seem to do that really well in this video. You know, like Tyler Joseph.
I can make that sound in so many different tones and pitches consistently... but my vocal cords do NOT feel relaxed. It feels like a Miley Cyrus impression.
9:29 close the door please
yeah!
Vocal Fry and 5 Ways to Use It In Your Voice
6:23 - Lot of emotions
6:40 - Hit Lowest notes
7:45 - Metal Growl
8:44 - Easier head voice
10:09 - Lot of Tension
I was just about to put timestamps here 😂
thanks to both of you!
You’re amazing.
This is why when I am sick (beginning stages) I like to record because my voice is deeper without trying. It’s actually a good tone for me.
I never heard of this before. I was just told about it. It's totally foreign to my classical training
I can understand that

Great video.. There is also subharmonic register and depending on how specific you wanna get theres also growl notes.
yes, I tried to keep it a bit more basic
This is just my opinion. I think vocal fry can be harmful UNLESS maybe you warm up in the morning even if you are just using it to speak. Just my opinion.
Oh I actually can sing it that stuff from earlier!!!! But don't knew the usage, anyways your video always makes me learn something haha!!!
That's great!
Person: how do I use my vocal fry?
Me: ever heard of groaning?
haha
That Dwight impression was great hahaha
Thanks Fracisgoro

YEOOOO that 4th one is pretty sick thank you for the tips
also, video-related: does that mean that KAYAKO from The Grudge was singing this whole time ????? Thought she was trying to kill me maybe she just wanted to be heard
funny
I was thinking the same thing.
I didn't even realize I already knew the base for vocal fry cause id learned it to mimic them in middle school

some do have natural rasp to their voice
Totally healthy. Look up CVT concept of "creaking" which is how they refer to vocal fry , if you are more interested.
It's complete and utter trash bro, speak normally.

great video - thank you!
it’s posible a baritone can reach A#0? bc i saw a video of liam payne vocal range and he did an A#0 with fry
Fry doesn't count. No human being can actually sing (phonate freely) on an A#0
@@ramseyvoicestudio thanksss

I speak in vocal fry 24/7 and don't realize it. It feels weird realizing people have to force them selves to do it
Oh yeah that's what my best friend Nancy and I do or upper voice.
I realised from the beginning of your video that you use a lot of vocal fly in your failing intonations 😉
Thanks 👏👏

Fry is naturally not very loud (there's not enough breath pressure). I would practice adding just a slight creaky sound to those low passages.

maryling manson - come white. / lol manson period it sounds like.
How long practice 5th exercise daily
...ends first sentence with a vocal fry
I think its usable mostly for english? :D
I've heard many international artists use it
came from so-so's fry bass
Inward vocal fry🔥
Why do your elbows stick out
Lmaoooo I can’t breathe 💀 😂
The piano is in the way
what a bizarre comment.
Dang
I always thought that vocal fry is unhealthy for the vocal cords.
Second nice video.😀
Thanks Rae, check out the full article here: ramseyvoice.com/vocal-fry/
I just sound like metal scraping on metal 😭
Nevermind I figured out I had to go higher
If you close your eyes it's kinda from Bob's burgers
I can make that sound in so many different tones and pitches consistently... but my vocal cords do NOT feel relaxed. It feels like a Miley Cyrus impression.
I bet Tina Belcher can sing pretty well
*Groans*
Why were you encouraging people to use vocal fry?
Sorry but you also sing or just explain
Early!
Hey Bhad, yes you're the first! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks, Love your channel
Is it only me that feel annoyed when I heard vocal fry?
it's out there
never ever ever use vocal fry! we judge and it's not looking good!
Its an annoying way of singing.
If you use vocal fry, particularly if you are a man, you will be unemployable.
