Love you, Sophie, and your instructions are both accurate, and refreshing. Coming from some "old school" methods from years ago, I have been making some mistakes with my voice that other instruction did not help me find and erase. Your explanation and examples of resonator placement is the clearest I have found. I am now healing from years of lessons that fortunately did no real damage to my chords, just left me with a very dark voice, placed too far back. Your short lessons here have lightened and brightened my voice, and I have added 6 reliable tones to the top of my range! When I can afford private instruction I would choose you! Thank you!
Sophie Shear my name is Man See I have seen the instructions on videos. I would like to use my vocal expend range connections Into any song without loosing my breath
"It's gonna look and sound like I'm dying. Neither of these things should happen during a musical performance" Tell that to the Corpsegrinder from Cannibal Corpse XD
Singing teachers usually “It is probably not the best thing you can do” Sophie: “It’s horrible. It’s gonna sound like you are dying” That’s why I love you :)
My placement is the nose ridge. It gets me to mix and relax my sound. I did WAH for about 1 month (2 hours a day) and got it down lol. I really hear the resonance now. My vocal coach said it was in my speaking voice so I knew I had it. Thanks for the video.
WOW!!! You are good!!! Just putting my finger under my nose helped me straighten my pitch/ breath out. This is the most common range for folksters like Paul Simon/Art Garfunkel, Janis Ian, Fairport Convention, Joni, james T...etc... I have the sweet tone, but was struggling with pitch/volume. I have been practicing a lighter higher pitched sound in breathy head voice...but this brings it all together. THANKS.
thank you for posting this, i think it's helps me understand why I can't hit high notes sometimes, i have auditions for a higher choir Tommorow so thank you for your video
Can you please make a video on how to sing country songs. I'm only learning now how to sing and everything is kind of mixed up. All these genres and placements are really messing up my head😂
It's interesting that opera voice teachers say pretty much the same about the voice as pop voice teachers. Given that that's the case, why do pop voices sound so flat, while opera voices have a rich vibrato, not to mention a much broader range sung in full voice, however, rather than in falsetto as is the case in pop or musicals.
Can I access the Mix register if I'm not done in my puberty? Because I think my voice is changing, and even I do some exercise it's not gonna work? Please answer me coach!😢 I'm struggling almost 1 year. 😭
You can still access your mix voice! It may feel a bit wonky, but try to push through the wiggles to find new growth. But I understand your frustration. When your body is changing, you may have to adjust to a new normal! But don't lose hope, you got this!
i just confused....does the pharyngeal placement should have sound that nasal?if it is a no, how to fix that nasal sound when you place your voice at the pharynx?
Hi Nick. We all speak a little bit in pharyngeal (girls more than guys). The pharynx lifts the pressure off of chest voice, creating a piercing, strong sound. But chest voice is strong too. I wouldn't worry too much about adding pharyngeal to your chest voice while speaking, unless you project your voice without a microphone for work or something.
Hey Kento! A great way to add power is by adding attack at the initial onset of cord connection. Practice going up and down your mix range with short staccato movements. First at a light volume and then adding more once you've found good resonance. You can even go as far as making monkey noises - short staccato "ooh ooh AH AH's". Pulling in some pharyngal whine!
Is there any exercise for screaming like Chester Bennington? does it need false chord? i tried to do vocal fry exercise but it makes my voice more thinner😂
The reason why your fry sounds too thin is probably because you aren't using enough air. Try putting your hand in front of our mouth. You should feel a small amount of hot air on your hand. Vocal fry should be very slow and lazy. Try slowing it down. Another thing to think of is, can you fry and sing different notes at the same time. Try frying while going up half steps. Can you hear the note and the fry at the same time? If not, just practice. Then, when you get really close to a microphone, it will sound like your screaming.
Hey Miguel! It is difficult to give in depth feedback without hearing you sing, but try adding your pharyngeal voice or attempt mixing earlier in your range. Don't wait until you begin getting to a high range. The sooner you add in your pharyngeal sound the more delicate your approach. If you're having scratch or grit pull back on your volume and try singing the song through a straw! If you would like more information, head to our website www.sophieshear.com
Hi I got a question I stated to sing in mix and I love it. I am slowly building it and now I am getting used to it but I get this weird sensation underneath my jaw like its vibrating but it stays there for a while. Is it normal? I just never felt this before and I get worried sometimes.
I have a question, when i practice singing i get a lot of resonance with out straining or anything but i can never sing softly or quietly, do you have any suggestions?
Great question! Usually when singers say they can't sing quietly, it's because they do have tension. My question to you is this; How do you know you don't have tension when you are singing higher?
I don’t like the idea of different registers. It depends on the singer. A tenor will always sing in the middle register. The guy will a low voice will always sing in chest. Can you imagine Michael Jackson sing in chest?
You can apply this to classical music; however, classical technique is deeply routed in developing a strong head voice. This video is more directed to help navigate transitions or "breaks" between our resonators, which will ultimately help in classical music.
I'm sorry this hasn't helped you! You may need some one on one instruction. Would be happy to guide you in the right direction, we are currently taking new clients. Here is a link to our website for more information: www.sophieshear.com
I think I still got developing like when I can do excersise just as you did into my mix and all but like instead of hearing a break I here like a lil vocal fry
If all you hear is a little vocal fry, you're in amazing shape already! Keep doing these exercises to smooth that out a bit more, and you'll be golden.
I think its a good explanation but she leaves out ( on purpose? ) some really important resonators. As I learned, not just the "nose" but the forehead and your paranasal sinuses are also crucially important, especially the higher the note is the higher and more focused the placement is in your head, you have to feel on the top of your head if its well-done. :-) Other than that, I agree with her.

This exercise changed my voice completely!! Super great!
Sana all

I don’t resonate very well at higher registers. This helps a lot, even if I sound ridiculous following this video.
It's important to get out of your comfort zone! Keep it up Eddie!

Light and right is better than strong and wrong! Build your chords up to be strong later, but start light and right! Great video Sophie! :D

hi Sophie, I hope you don't mind but I've featured you on my latest RUclips impressions video! keep doing what you do best X
cool! lets see....
Wich one?
This is so helpful! It really helps you hit any note without straining
Thanks Danny!
"It's gonna look and sound like I'm dying. Neither of these things should happen during a musical performance"
Tell that to the Corpsegrinder from Cannibal Corpse XD
She said musical performance
My vocal coach used to refer to it as the mix, and used to make me do exercises to recognize and utilize my mix when singing, even low.
Sounds like you had a great coach!
beauty with brains..loved the vdo.

Somehow I get to understand that the pharynx is an essential part of chest and head.

Thank you so much, this really helped!
Twainy voice... Witch cackle voice
great video thank you so much!!!!! this really helped
I love this
i have a tension in larynx when im try to do this exercises(((
Relax the neck, do some neck exercises
Try singing through a straw! May help release larynx tension.
i just confused....does the pharyngeal placement should have sound that nasal?if it is a no, how to fix that nasal sound when you place your voice at the pharynx?
It sounds too whiny until you sing with words. Then it just sounds edgy, piercing and loud, which is a good thing.
Is it accurate to say that for speaking we also need a little bit of that pharyngeal resonance to have a strong voice or it’s only used for singing?
Hi Nick. We all speak a little bit in pharyngeal (girls more than guys). The pharynx lifts the pressure off of chest voice, creating a piercing, strong sound. But chest voice is strong too. I wouldn't worry too much about adding pharyngeal to your chest voice while speaking, unless you project your voice without a microphone for work or something.
Great lesson 🙂
Nice i like your tutor i will practice this video
I’m not singer,....she makes me understand a bit about singing,..
Thank you!
Could you make a video on fast vibrato or the way vocalist from "kaleo" uses it.thank you.
You're such a pretty thing ;)
Anyone else thinks abiut Janice from Frienda when she does the pharynx voice? Lol
