Great video as always ... of information and demonstration!! Loved the part where you were trying to adjust your glasses 😂 I think it was my mom one time who was trying to find her glasses then realized after looking for them all over they were still on her face! 😊 Thanks for taking the time for this. I'll be re- listening to the video.
@@azuldraconic5141 it’s useful for anything because it concerns the basic underlying function of the registers, as determined by the intersection of vowel, pitch and intensity. I’ll expand on it soon or maybe even just restate with better examples when I’m not vocally exhausted from hours of singing lol.
Interesting! I am a female tenor who sang second alto for about 10 years. So I am interested in working with the little flip (passaggio) in the middle. What you are calling falsetto is my entire upper alto range! Trying to pull a little chest voice into it is interesting.
It’s tricky to get the balance right. If your voice is too chesty (heavy, tank-like) you can add more falsetto and it will tend to make it freer and more elastic but at a slight cost of less beefiness. But if you cotton on to the benefits of falsetto it’s easy to fall into the trap of unbalancing things in the other direction and then scratching your head wondering what the hell went wrong when you did the same thing that helped you before. In that scenario you have to put more chest back in.
I can't answer that I'm afraid, as there are too many potential variables. It took me years and I'm still developing it, although I had to start from literally nothing as I completely destroyed my voice back in 2015 (I couldn't even speak for a couple of months) and had to rebuild it from scratch.
@@azuldraconic5141 Oh I see. Yes the note's there but it can always be more stable, richer, easier, more mellow, more powerful, less taxing and easier to integrate into an actual song. I mean, up to a point anyway. If you're, y'know, Caruso or Whitney Houston or something then I guess you can reasonably say "stick a fork in it it's done" lol.
you're such a great teacher, thank u very much.
Thanks!
Thank you - the last 60 seconds is gold. Great way to wrap it up.

Is this kind of technique useful for pop singing? More specifically for songs that have belty high notes?

@@thomasmartin369 Oh okiee thanks!
Very cool tech! I’m singing a repertoire where it’s chest belt and I get stuck in it and blow up after awhile..this could help
This could be what Mike McDonald uses past A4
Excellent

interesting, I'd like to hear your voice.
It sounds like such a healthy release up top, that I feel like can't be achieved if you try to hold on to that super chesty compression too tightly.

How much practice would it take to be able to control the percentages of chest and falsetto and get that crisp high note sound?

@@thomasmartin369 but why do think to continue developing it? What are the current roadblocks that youve experienced with this technique?
@@azuldraconic5141 could you rephrase/clarify?
@@thomasmartin369 what do you mean by "developing it"? To me it feels like you've already unlocked a refined high note.

Is this a good exercise for mtd?
It helped with mine when I had it, yes. But don't overdo it! You have to keep the chest voice going strong too.
Always watch your channel..... I know you made a full recovery from mtd? Could you make more videos regarding this condition please.
@@Wed137 OK! I'll have a think about it!
@@thomasmartin369 great if you could. Then you can teach me to sing like you too 😁
@@Wed137 get in touch if you want to see if I can help with the MTD. Send me a sample of your voice and a case history if you want to !
