Waqas Tahir OMG OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU BEACUSE I COULD ALWAYS LOOK UP HOW TO CRACK YOUR VOCIE AND EVERY VIDEO WAS LIKE GET RID OF IT AND SHIT AND IM LIKE NO I WANT TO CRACK LIKE A BOY GOING HITTING PUPERTY
I've learnt cracking when sia was on the carpool karaoke show. She said then when you wanna push.. Just make your cords tighter. And when I did that.. And breathed in, My voice cracked... So now I'm able to talk with cracks. That was a good tip.
I want to be able to learn how to squeak /crack my voice on purpose like Sia does especially in her song Alive... how can you learn how to do this or can you even learn how to?
Hi Annie! Thank you so much for reaching out, the answer to your question stems from extreme control over one's vocal registers and transition between them. We encourage you to send your question to questions@voicelessonstotheworld but in the meantime, happy singing! :)
watching your lessons is very inspiring. thank you. now my practice is more focused and less stressed. and I don't have doubts anymore. hope to take some lessons in NYC one day.
+Vladimir Goryachev We are so glad to be a part of your vocal journey! Keep up the awesome, stress-free work! And if you'd ever like to schedule a Skype lesson with Justin or any of our teachers here in New York, feel free to visit newyorkvocalcoaching.com! :)
My style is more operatic because I used was taught that way. I want to transform my style to how is used to be! I used to be able to crack and sing like Sia (hitting high notes and all) but now I can't crack my voice and I just sing the notes really straight! I'm trying to improve my voice slowly and this video really helped me find my voice again! Thank you so much!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! i have been singing my whole life and had 3 vocal oaches and none of them told me about a mix or head voice so i have never worked it. I am 25 and JUST trying to use a mix and head voice and cant seem to sing a note above Bb3 without terrible cracking. It seemed that it was strengthening my voice but now i know i was right! THANK YOU THANK YOU THAAAANK YOOOOOUU!!!!!! I dont feel as crumby or crazy now!
Im very glad i discovered this channel. I love your explanations. Quite thorough and understandable. I am working my way thru some vocal challenges and your channel makes me feel i could take some charge of my issue. Had a pelvic floor prolapse and lost major diaphragm control. Along with cracking and swinging into falsetto long before needed
Thank you so much Ivy for your support for Justin and VLTTW! We value your dedication to singing and are wishing you well on your vocal path! Stay tuned :)
I needed this. The "gig" helped me understand compression. I feel like I can use it and see how it changes my ability to hit higher notes. I'll start from the Middle Notes though!
finally! I always strain my voice while singing so it tends to crack when I'm trying to reach high notes -,- I also noticed that when I try to reach high notes, my jaw tightens giving me headaches and makes my voice sound like I am shouting, what should I do?
ZionZero You asked the other person "Why would you?". I responded with an example of how it can be used for great effect. I suppose you meant your current response for the original poster.
I love how when you dont join in you just have a random guy sat at the piano saying complements to a camera Ok jokes over great video really helped me 😂
Great tutorial....much appreciated. I crack all the time but also have a natural rasp..... Which I feel I strain too much....Still working on it.... thank you
i liked and subscribed today because ur videos are realy user friendly, clear, encouraging and nice. besides...i like ur voice...thank God for helping me discover u...lots of love.
dear Justin: compression is really awesome for a singer and I think it's the missed part of reaching mixed voice for the first time. But sometimes my larynx feel uncomfort. Should I stop immediately?When this happen
I think you mentioned it but it came and went so fast but the flip side of developing compression is learning to finesse the light coordination so you get to where the sound is connected but not strained light but not breathy sort of like meeting the vocal cords where they are. You mentioned this recently in the episode on expanding your range, By the way I’m a student not a coach I just thoroughly enjoy pedagogy
Thank you for your Great your job! your so good vocal teather! when i have a ever seen all of the youtube cannel in the world! i'm a from japan where i have a voice teather too.
I do this exercise first now, most effective on cracking voice then i continue with compression exercises. My voice used to break a lot, now theres a lot of improvement plus i can do 2 notes more already (From C4 to E4)
Hi Justin, Thank u so much 4 free lessons on utube. I wanna know, what course did u take in college? Was it Conservatory of Music? U'r a musical genius & u know d scientific explanations of ur lessons. Some people say that we cannot have both worlds: powerful voice that fills up a concert hall or belting high notes. Is it true? Or can we have both? I want to learn more. Thanks .
Hi Dear I am learning singing and doing practice for 3 months almost regularly every day. I spend about two hours daily as follows: I drink 4-5 glasses of water and start practice with a VOCAL warmup using humming etc. for 15-25 minutesThen I start practicing scales for 30 min to 1 hour minimum.Then I sing my favorite songs for about an hour. The problem I am facing is that my voice is not getting stronger and it cracks a lot. I feel pain in throat every day when I start practice. Then after warm up it gets a little bit better but I never had a relaxed throat. Sometimes I feel some pain in the VOCAL CHORDS. I have tried everything I could such as Gargles, different types of herbal tea with lemon, ginger and honey, different lozenges in the market such as, Strepsils, Thayers, etc., and also ASPIRIN TABLETS. I donot get a permanent relief and voice keeps on cracking when I sing. My questions are:How can I have a string voice without any cracks?What remedies would you recommend?Any medicines?Shall I continue practice? Will it improve the situation or it will get worse?Did you have any student like me in the past and how did he/she overcome this situation of sore throat and cracking voice. Some times I take a vocal rest for a day or two but still it stays the same when I start again. Your help will be highly appreciated.Very best regards
every singing teacher I've had told me that its usually not a good thing when it hurts. rule of thumb is: when it hurts, stop singing. you can injure your vocal chords permanently if you ignore the pain. This can have many reasons, so you might want to take one private lesson from someone in your area, that can find the reason for this
Hi my voice doesn't crack. I want to be able to crack because ive seen it to be very useful. i am not being able to use it. how do i make a my voice crack?
We hope you enjoy it, Queen! We have lots of fun episodes :) If you’re looking for a specific topic you can also write to us at Questions@VoiceLessonsToTheWorld.com! -NYVC
Thank you so much for all your knowledge. I feel like my cracking happens in my chest, I go for a note and I cant get pass, my voice gets faint and I cant control what's happening. Its mostly the in between notes never on a high note. You ever heard of this? ..I'm befuddled.
wow the mix is so frustrating sometimes. like I try not to get loud as I go up, but in order to keep compression as I go up, I end up with a sky high larynx. I will keep on trying though, maybe I'll have a breakthrough. my chest voice is fine, I'm getting the hang of my head voice, but my mix is always tight, and squeezed.
Thanks so much! New episode coming in August! In case you want more specific voice training, may I suggest Justin's vocal training course: voicelessonstotheworld.com/page/vocal_course It's fabulous and affordable. I personally think he should charge more for it.
Hmm. Sounds like you have some misinformation and might need to watch the episode again. The compression exercise he does in this episode is a good exercise for finding the balanced compression he discusses in the episode! -NYVC
In your video you gave an example of complete head-voice. I was wondering if this was also an example of falsetto. I have looked a lot online to find the difference if there is one, but i get a lot of conflicting answers. It would be awesome if you could clear that up for me. Also, if they are different, how can you tell the difference in your own voice.
Hmmm. This would be a good question to bring to Justin or Brendan at their Live chats! But, it could be too much Compression! Check out episode 104! -NYVC

How to crack like sia omg please do something like that 😭
You first need to learn the basics of how to do a yodel. I'll talk to Justin about making a video about it in the future. Thanks for your question.
This has helped me to also understand where the mix is placed, hopefully I can strengthen it for belting. Thank you!
Super glad this was helpful to you Anonymous! -NYVC
When I got to learning mix voice, this is the hump I can't get over. I'm stuck with compression problems
Thanks so much Justin , your explanations are brilliant with the demonstRations of wrong and right usage of vocal chords

Everytime he cracks his voice, I just loose it 😂😂😂
Lol! -NYVC
How can you develop cracking on purpose?
+sabramarie101 Why would you?
+ZionZero Listen to "Chandelier" by Sia. Excellent use of vocal cracking and her use of it in general.
nuke97 Cracking your voice is pretty easy, just understand which note to end after the crack and that's all
ZionZero You asked the other person "Why would you?". I responded with an example of how it can be used for great effect. I suppose you meant your current response for the original poster.
nuke97 Yes
I love how when you dont join in you just have a random guy sat at the piano saying complements to a camera

I love your "breathy" examples. It reminds of Jim Carey's character Vera de Milo from In Living Color.
I'm not a singer by far, But this was interesting. Soon i'll go all Backstreet Boys thx to this dude!
I almost fell out my seat at the 1st part when he said cracking is a good thing. Wow.

Thank you SO MUCH 💖
does this exercise help to increase my vocal range? i have trouble singing alot of songs because i cannot reach most of the notes the pop song have
So if your voice is meant to crack while you’re trying to sing high and loud, what’s a good exercise to get better at it without cracking?
Hmm. Sounds like you have some misinformation and might need to watch the episode again. The compression exercise he does in this episode is a good exercise for finding the balanced compression he discusses in the episode! -NYVC

My voice is cracking but not the type you lose your voice but more like the 'rock singing' type
Maybe you mean rasp/distortion is happening? -NYVC
