- Whistle Register Singing. Not every voice can sing whistle notes! Whistle register is a very cool thing to do and adds the all-important WOW factor when applied at the right moment in a song. But what is whistle register and can every singer learn to sing those uber-high notes?

I can do whistle easily and I am a MALE
Does people judge you for whistling
This was such an informative video! I can sometimes get into the whistling but it takes some time experimenting.
I used to sing in Whistle register a lot--- I think in part because of Sarah Brightman XD But it was my favorite thing to do with Mariah Carey and so forth. I will be ecstatic if, after retraining and working my voice, I can do it again.
The cool thing was that I never felt any strain. When my old vocal instructor told me that you should never show strain or feel it in the voice, it made me happy to know I was doing it right haha.
Very interesting topic. I have found that there are many things that our voices/vocal folds are capable of doing that may or may not be accessible all the time. I discovered my whistle voice when I was sick and I had laryngitis. I was barely able to speak and when I tried to sing I could either sing very low or my voice would jump octaves. I think this is due to swelling. In fact, I think Mariah Carey recorded some of her best whistle voice notes when she was sick. Not sure if that is verified, but I have heard that. After discovering my whistle voice, I started trying to access it all the time. It was much easier when I would practice it all the time, but I realized that I was better at it when my voice was fatigued and that didn't seem like a good thing to me. Also, it served no purpose in helping me to become a better singer and to sing my songs with the sound I wanted. I rarely try to even access my whistle voice anymore because I would prefer to focus on the sounds I actually use. I have, however, recorded myself singing C6, Eb6, and C7 in whistle voice. It's not actual singing. Just sounds. I also recorded myself singing very low notes (usually when I am kind of sick). I got down to G1 and F1. They are low vocal fry sounds. I think whistle voice and vocal fry are similar in that they use specific parts of the vocal folds only to produce their extreme pitch.
Here is the audio of the different notes I vocalized:

Dr Dan's Voice Essentials I do it a ton and I'm a guy I can hit a B7 and when my voice is in a wierd state I recorded a super high note and compared it with your friend Adam lopez who has the highest male voice and some people said I did it higher so... gotta see if the video will count in the Guinness book of world records
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials I can also go from any register in the voice and transition to any other register like chest to whistle on a dime like Mariah Carey's love takes time
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials also is it a bad thing if sometimes when u belt a high note that a whistle is polyphonic or u have raspy chest polyphonic when doing whistles sometimes cause I can count like 3 times I belted and had a whistle polyphonic and one not if I start off with a break it's polyphonic during the break
I'm a lyric Bass that can go down to G#-1 and mostly sing in the first and second octave, in chest i can go up to C4 or D4, on falsetto the lowest i can go is like A#2 and up to probably F#6 but sometimes up to B6 is pretty achievable, but the whistle tones are a rarity for me and the last time i get access to it i play around until i reach like an F#7, i really want to sing whistle notes frequently and improve it also to extend my vocal range further to the 8th or the 9th octave
Funny you mention Mitch Grassi here. He's actually one of the first whistle registers I've heard. And really, I just envied how cool it sounded. So I just said "hey, I wanna do it". And I did. No training, nothing. My only training I've had is singing in a choir class for two years (though I do want to continue). I knew males could access it, I just felt it was a more rare thing. Probably because males just sing lower in general and everyone in my class seemed to be baritones aside from me.
Nice one, Dr. Dan! This isn't a topic I've seen discussed much but it's something that's always intrigued me. I used to be able to get into whistle register and I'm a natural baritone, but it's such an unusual, non-intuitive way to direct the air, and at such a surprisingly low level of pressure, that it takes ages to learn the balance to do it consistently.
I'm guessing you're probably aware of Mike Patton, the lead singer of Faith No More and countless other bands/projects? If not, check out his work with John Zorn; he uses whistle register and a lot of other cool extended techniques in improvisations and also incorporated a lot of them into fairly 'normal' rock music.
It's amazing how some people don't have access to these same sorts of spaces vocally and really shows the uniqueness of each voice. I'm going to play around with this again and see if I can relearn how to access it and incorporate it into something!
I am a bass-baritone(I've recently found I sing very well in the key of F# minor). Anyway, I think I may have developed a whistle register relatively well, although I don't ever use it in my hard rock music. Unless maybe I'm confusing it with falsetto.
I can get into it sometimes, through a combination of messing around with various ideas to get those squeaks out, then copying Mariah and messing around with 'Emotions', using the run up in it to try to get a note. It's not really a good time investment for me though, and I'm not so bothered with it.
Still, for me I have to have my jaw open very wide, even more so than standard extra high notes. I used the tiniest amount of air at first, like you're making a creak or squeak, then worked it from there. Freya Casey's video was the most helpful for advice on how to do it. Maybe others interested might find these ideas help them a bit.
Yes I wouldn't worry about it at all if anyone can't get there, it's has very niche application, you're not missing much. It's a fun distraction but low down on my practice priorities. Most people enjoy songs sung in the typical comfortable range for a guy, and even if you like singing high, do you really need it? probably not.
Neat thank you!!
No problem!
I keep thinking of the Righteous Brother and Bobby Hatfield in "You've lost that loving feeling".
Hi DOC, have tried a high fry or grunt that can trigger the mechanism. That's my way but feels tight at times
Interesting question. When I started singing ~10years ago, I thought that those uber high notes were only accessible for a select few. But 10 years ago there was not nearly as much information about the technique. And I have heard a lot more people doing it. I suspect that most people are physically capable, but that's only a guess.
I haven't had much success myself, but I do believe I've been able to access it, not by singing up to it chromatically (I can get to about Eb6), but by singing normal high notes (e.g. F5) and jumping an octave. I have eeked out some higher pitches that way, with almost no control over it... but I have spent no time practicing it. I feel like there may be untapped potential there, but honestly I don't know if I have the motivation to learn to actually sing up there.
Agreed! Otherwise, there's no point.
Same As Me My Lowest Note Is An A3,My Highest Belt Is An F#5,Highest Falsetto Is A C#6, I Am A Kid Before Now I Am A Teen, 13 yrs old boy My Range Today Is An A2-A7

I tried reverse phonation and I can go really high, but I haven't figured out how to do whistle voice forward.
if i attempt to do thw whistle register by using the inhale phonation,,does it count on my range??By using the inhale. .i can whistle up to c7
i once did it when I have cough last week when phleghm enables my vocal folds to do so. After that I lost my falsetto and is still recovering till now. Hahahaha! My voice also changed a bit after that and I think it damaged my voice. In a good way I guess... lol
I think i lost my headvoice. Can I get it back Dan
I can whistle only because me and my friend were having a contest on who's voice could go higher
no its for everyone
i m 16 years in puberty my highest whistle note is e7 but when i need it doesn't come out please reply
Is your voice naturally high?
Ariana your are suprano
Recent science has figured out that the chords zip up in whistle register. That means that they don't vibrate across their full length like other forms of vocal production.
Yes. It is a very particular posture of the vocal folds.
I’m male, 15 yrs old, and my highest note is A6 and lowest note is a F2.
A6 with falsetto or whistle?
Hey Dan how do u sing when u feel depressed? Because lately my depression started comin back and I can't eat or sleep and I feel like killin myself all the time. I know I should be practising my singing but I really don't feel like singing or even going outside at all. I've been to therapy and they haven't helped much at all. Should I still sing or should I stop for a while?
Ok, thanks a lot!
Über has an Umlaut!
Bb10 Whistle Range it was Crazy
Hi Dan my natural speaking voice like when you speak normally to people is very very weak and quiet how would you go about specifically strengthening the voice muscles so that when you speak normally its a bit more powerful kind of like a support? Is there any excercises aimed just for that?
thank you love the videos
Is whistle register suppose to be loud?mine is super loud but it doesn't hurt my voice , I just feel ease while doing w.r. Is it supposed to be loud or soft?
Is it the "super head voice/flageolet register"?
I can just get the whistle pitch and not more im new to whistle so its hard but just give me some days and i swear it will WILL!!! get better. im pretty good with my registers even fry but low is my weakest register And i mean fry. one of my class mates are bass and his born that way holyshit his voice is deep and his lucky if u ask me. but im still pretty glad to be a tenor how i know that my danish teacher is also a voice coach lol. :D and we are singing everyday on my school and it is some pretty high noted songs. since we are singen songs u normal will sing in a church but it is also a christian school anyway. :) sry if my english grammar is bad (DK)
If you are able to activate a whistle register sound, even if it is minimal to start, then keep working at it. It will get better.
see,when you sing whistles it makes tour head voice weaker but you will gain full control over your chest voice
Dr. Dan I can sing well but sometimes it sounds polyphonic with a leak of a whistle register... I’m a male tho I can whistle intentionally or not..
Tan-Tan, perhaps this playlist will prove helpful - ruclips.net/video/Flxa2YIfTAo/видео.html
i myself am a classically trained singer so i hit those notes in a regular basis. Notes from A5 to E6 sound like flageoulet to me. I do not like to go higher than E6 cos notes higher than E6 sound strained to my ears.
+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials Just realised those were whistle since one year when i started to study contemporsry technique :p i remember once i was working in a certain Song i hit a C#6 and then my teacher said:
"there is no need to go higher than this, its Just a belted B5, not a whistle one"
and i was like WHAT???? C6 and above are actually called whistle in contemporary singing?
cos for me they were Just like very high notes at the singer's modal range like i use to do and whistle were Just a crazy sound you do that was not found at the piano like a G7 for example :)
+Dr Dan's Voice Essentials thank you! to be honest sometimes contemporary is harder than classical :) i mean, for me its not as comfortable as classical. there is no difference when im sick using classical but a silly flu or coughing can make it awful on pop lol still a long way to go but its flowing. Now i really admire the pop singers with powerful belts from tip to toe :)
Is it possible to extend vocal range because my lowest note is an E1 and my highest note is a E7 and I was just curious if I can go higher and I'm a 20 y/o male🤭
Oh and how do I know how many octaves I can do?
Hi, Alexis Smith. You may find my online singing course helpful - drdan.co/onlinesinginglessons. Feel free to check it out sometime. The first module is free to preview!
Do coloratura sopranos use the whistle register?
Christina, I dare say there are coloratura sopranos that can access the whistle register. This being said, I have not personally heard one do it.
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials Then it’s all in their head voice? How can they flawlessly hit notes from C6- to F6( and sometimes high Gs)?
im a baritone and my falsetto extends to C#6, could i go up another octave and learn whistle register? or its only for women?
well technically i have it but i just want mine to be more fluent, its not there everyday
its wierd mine is not there everyday but its there 3 days throughout the week
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials perhaps a teacher could teach me, because i have a natural rasp and that dampers my voice sometimes, its like it cracks a lot and i have trouble reaching my upper notes comfortably, i hope i dont have nodules
Right now that's about as high as my falsetto goes, but I'm a tenor. Like a high tenor.
Edit: I just hit a D 6
I'd like you to make a video on the opposite of this topic, the Subharmonic register
Thank you,, looking forward to it
I have to laugh. People want to access Whistle register before they have learned to sing.
The comments 😂 " I can easily do it" hunny just because you can do it don't mean it gonna sound good, take Mariah for example, she had such good control over her whistle register unlike any other singer, and it simply sounds beautiful
@Who let the virus out? Woof woof woofhan I'm a huge fan of the two 🤫💁
its a bullshit , whistle for everyone, but some kind of tembres so difficult to make that
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials And here is my opinion ?, you are misleading people, while others on the distillation to learn, has long been known to everyone how to do it
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials Don't worry it's all right. I understand. I don't wanted to hurt you. But you have greatest timbre. Keep going to stretch your range. All that I could to advise its watch on RUclips New York vocal coaching for whistle and that stuff. And finally for help of course estill voice and complete vocal technique programs. They are fundamentally on physic organic. Wish you well
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials check estill
Dr Dan's Voice Essentials they are open every modes every colors for everyone. 3 types of whistle
