Your video is helping me understand sound production for my speech science class at school and the visual walk through is SO helpful. Even if thats not the purpose of the video- thanks!
A tube (like a trombone), or even a string, naturally creates all these harmonic overtones (no specific bone required) - however in the case of the voice we also have the ability to accentuate or dampen specific overtones (by choking off nodes which are x*(1/n ) of the root wavelength to accentuate, or x*(1/n)+1/2n to dampen); and we have the ability (in the case of polytonal singing) to accentuate specific harmonics present through the use of independent resonance cavities in parallel, as for instance when using a head voice. Our formants (vowels) are essentially that, creating chords by shaping auxiliary resonance zones.
But how come vocal folds create harmonics at the same time which are called harmonics Vocal cords vibrate at specific frequency Then where Do the multiple frequencies come from??? , Are they from vocal cords or vocal tract
@@abdulgafoor7076 That's a very good question for which it seems there are multiple possible answers, and likely all of them. However I'm not absolutely certain. The vocal cords are not our source of vibration. The primary source of vibration can be felt in several in several places, however anything vibrating is producing both harmonics and possibly simply white noise. We have multiple resonators capable of resonating several frequencies. They do not require an exact matching frequency sound sound source, just something close enough to power the resonation they will produce. With the creation of just two frequencies comes the means of producing further frequencies by two other processes, through-zero-flanging and ring-modulation. In the latter sidebands are produced from f1 + f2, f1 - f2, & 2f1-f2. TZF would be too difficult for me to explain easily. All of these separate resonance chamber sounds, most especially those below and above the vocal cords are then available to act upon each other in tzf and ring-mod fashions, and each of these resonance chambers will in turn develop their own sets of available harmonics to act upon others elsewhere. We end up with a nearly infinite potential set of frequencies bouncing around within us, and then it's up to our emphasized set of resonators which set of these frequencies are finally band-passed into projection. Also cavity resonance (like the inside of a guitar) is not our means of frequency transduction. We also have surface material transduction available (like the soundboard of a violin), where for instance a tin can might produce a high pitch in the presence of a jack hammer. Also these resonance cavities are somewhat Helmholz resonators which means their frequency is not only controlled by the (variable) dimensions of the cavity, but also by the (variable) impedance (restriction) of the air passage to that cavity.
I am trying to understand what is the difference between vibrato and harmonics or falsetto and harmonics ? does that mean when you sing in falsetto or vibrato then only it generates harmonics ?
Harmonics are frequencies that make a sound. Each sounds we hear is made of harmonics. Vibrato is a slight change in pitch which sounds like a wavering effect when it happens naturally with the singing voice. Falsetto is a function of the male voice where only a shorter part of the vocal folds are used to create a high pitch sound that imitates the female head voice. It literally means “the little fake thing”. It’s generally a male voice thing, while female voices can have the falsetto function the difference is not distinguishable to the naked ear.
Great explain! Can you explain how change women voices and men voices like this... And Explain: What is the basic principle of voices (kids,men,women,older)
Women tend to inflect each word more, like singing - but that is style, not voice. As to the voice they use many parts of the vocal tract men simply don't use. Every singer's voice is different. Janis Joplin is nasally screaming at the back of the mouth. Bowie (very unique) is resonating Maj. 4ths. Anya Taylor-Joy is sliding her resonance across minor/neutral/major thirds in the fashion of a celtic harmonica player bending notes. Girly valentine voices lean on the 'ahhs' found in the lower back of the tongue. For every voice I mimic I have a complete map of the vocal tract, and the set of areas they emphasize, not only for frequency resonance but texture as well. I can for instance do every singing voice, male and female, in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. - I think the only way to truly understand this is to practice in a Robin Williams fashion yourself and simply start identifying and cataloguing where you need to concentrate vocal tract attention to achieve components of voices.
dude really interesting.... can you add some theory about quantum harmonics about this stuff? think it would go hand in hand even though i dont know how

So fun seeing the overtone singing that way
Never heard the sound of the harmonics by themselves. Very fascinating!
Sensacional. Sou engenheiro mecânico calculista de estruturas e nunca imaginei que o som da voz humana tinha harmônicos. rs rs
Please do more! :) It is very interesting to see this way.

is the "bonus information" the explanation for mongolian / siberian throat singing and why it sounds the way it does?
Damn. That was really interesting.
Fascinating! Do you have any recommendations as to what tool we should use to analyse our voice.
I love this. Simply explained but so revealing! Thank you.
very interesting. thanks my friend from Argentina
Hey, do you know of any particular software that does that kind of job but is open-source/free?
I think it's a mix of scientific magic and magical science.
Very interesting, thank you :)

Which software program did you use in this clip?
Looks like this program called Overtone Analyzer: ruclips.net/video/kQWnU1nBtco/видео.html
what is the name of the software please?
How bunch of frequencies are produced by vocal folds simultaneously
"I use this program during my lessons to ... " What program is this ? Why you not share this is a SECRET information ? Please and Thank you.
dude really interesting.... can you add some theory about quantum harmonics about this stuff? think it would go hand in hand even though i dont know how
Can you apply autotune just to overtones?
Great video. Which software are you using?
It's called VoceVista.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
am i the only one who can hear the foundational tone in 1:56 ? raise your volumes
Definitely magic... look at the ancient Egyptians
¿Magic or science?
Non!
Mathematics.
😧🤯
your vibrato shouldnt be so forced
