    Hey Eric! I've been teaching singing for decades and I have to say this is by far the best explanation of how to approach and safely use the head and falsetto voice I've ever come across. I was lucky enough to attend the Royal College of Music in London 30 years ago and even they couldn't make it this clear! Thank you. Can't wait to put it into practice in the booth and use your approach in my lessons. 🙌

    Dude, you are the best vocal coach I've found on youtube! Specially this vid!
    All the other coach just explain this stuff with grumpy non-understandable words of a professional that simpletons like us don't even get the point, let alone sing it. But you man just broke down the matter so simply and yet soo swiftly that I realized I have a head and a falsetto right while watching this video. Thanks a lot. God bless

    The name of the song is "God Bless the Child", written by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog, Jr. It's a classic jazz standard. Tina B. and I are recording it for an upcoming album project.

      I've been doing my breathing exercises with the help of your videos but I find that my chest still moves is that normal?

    • @ericarceneaux
      @ericarceneaux  9 лет назад +4

      +Georgie Gerbier The chest has to move in order for the diaphragm to be free. The question is, "In what way does it move?". If it lifts slightly and broadens the shoulders along with expansion of the rest of the torso, then you're probably good. If, however, it lifts high and draws the shoulders upward/inward, then you have a problem.

    First of all thank you so much Eric for you free vocal lessons,i've improved great deal by following these steps,however at some point i almost lost hope when i couldn't connect the chest and Head voice..it took me about 7 months to find mine.just like you say "it might take time" but it works damn perfectly with lots of practice and consistency.To everyone following this Channel,you are in the perfect place at the right time.just go slowly over this tips and hurry less ,stick to these simple steps Eric is showing you. above all, love every move you make and you'll see a great change. Be it postive or negative its all a package towards better vocal.Bless you my brother!

    Hey Eric! I just waneted to say thank you so much for all the very helpful and informative videos. I've been watching and practicing the exercises in older videos. Needless to say, they've helped me tremendously and definitely boosted my confidence in finding my "own" voice if you will. I've shown my friends your videos and they just love them. Thank you again for the encouragment and lessons. It really does just take a lot of practice, which people tend to lack patience for.

  • @logansquire3386
    @logansquire3386 6 лет назад

    Great explanation! He really nailed the difference between Head and Falsetto! It’s important that people understand that there’s a difference between the two. I especially loved how he explained that head voice connects to your chest voice a lot easier than falsetto and has a lot more depth. GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing.

  • @d2197v

    Always on time. I went through a large period of time where I was trying to find my old falsetto airy sound on some songs I was writing. I found, I was trying to push out too much air and could feel the cords split apart. This tip going to the vowel fixed my issue immediately. Thank you!

  • @neonsilver1936
    @neonsilver1936 8 лет назад

    WOW! Big difference! I was singing along to this, and I have recently been having problems with sounding way too breathy until I was fully warmed up (as much as possible, anyway), when something would just click and the body would come into the sound, giving it that "core" you kept referring to. I didn't know what was happening...Just that I had to really get super warmed up to sound full. That "witch voice" section and the line from the bonus tip that was saying that there is "an in-between" really fixed it. Ironically, the bit about the vocal folds touching that you were trying to skip over for clarity's sake was what lead me to the solution. Thank you!

  • @paveldanuletiu3951
    @paveldanuletiu3951 2 года назад

    FINALLY! Some male coach that explained that head voice is the immediate sound that comes after your chest voice can't go any higher. And falsetto is that high, breathy register that is disconnected from your actual chest voice. I've been struggling so much with understanding which one I should work on.

  • @noonie59

    hello sir :) i would just like to say that i am very very lucky and grateful for all the videos you've shared. your techniques are the easiest and most comfortable to use and apply in a daily basis. i just started using your techniques 2 weeks ago, but i can say that a lot has improved in terms of using which kind of vocal register on a certain point of a song. before, i tend to hold my voice back when reaching high notes, but after doing lip rolls the past weeks, i just belted it out like a pro haha! and i really really feel good about it. i know i have a long way to go but thank you so so much for doing what you do and please don't get tired. God bless you more sir :) i'm a fan and a follower from the Philippines :)

    Man, I'm picking my jaw off the floor. I'm blown away. First time seeing you. I wish I had half the control you have on that beautiful voice of yours, and the variety of quality voices you can do is astounding. Have you thought of becoming a singer?
    I learned more in this video than the dozens I watched before combined. I'm just a nobody who is trying to learn to sound good driving in my car by myself. It feels so good to sing along, or mostly accapella and actually hit the notes and make the song your own.
    Thanks a bunch, you're the best. It's a shame I didn't know you before. Your name sounds French Canadian.

      Thanks for doing what you're doing. I'm a vocalist in a rock band, and your videos have single-handedly helped me improve my vocal health and confidence as a singer. ESPECIALLY you're vocal warm-up series. Now I'm driving around in my car with my tongue out sending "yah-yah"s in stranger's direction. Since then, notes that used to be difficult to hit, are now comfortably within my range.
      I look forward to the day I'm successful enough to hire you as a one-on-one vocal coach. Until then, your videos are a great service, and you deserve to know, at least for me personally, your videos changed my life as a vocalist.
