I’d like to just be able to sing
Little Birdy got the worm practice practice practice:) everything is possible
Me too. 😔 My swollen tonsils from allergies won't let me right now and it's driving me nuts.
Now to find someone who will actually sing with me lmao 😂
I'll do it
Join smule, thousands of people will sing with you.
I just have garage band. It’s free, and you are able to record your voice & sing harmonizations with it. (I’m lonely & corona lmao)
HMU 😂
I will!
Been singing for 20 years! Never knew the technicals behind harmony. Just whatever sounded right…WOW
wow you're so talented!! meanwhile i cannot sing harmonies to save my life LOL (somehow i always sing in a different key instead of harmonizing)
...I can sing well....but harmonizations are almost impossible for me! How comes? :D
Hey E. Piovani! Don't give up, it is all about getting used to the sound of the harmony and practicing over and over again. Orian only learned to sing in harmony in her twenties, so it's never too late. Check out our 3 Top Tips for singing in harmony video (ruclips.net/video/ac-OaHCWyZg/видео.html) and How to Sing in Harmony with O&O on Jacobs Vocal Academy (ruclips.net/video/ddvhtW3rMeo/видео.html), this one has exercises you can sing along to!
I will!!! And i will let you know! ;)
possibly a silly question: when I hear a guy and a girl singing in harmony it is always much more easier for me to "ear" the girl rather than the notes the guy is singing, that for me remains a nice mysterious background I'm totally unable to reproduce. Is it somehow..."normal" or my brain is really deranged? ;)
E. Piovani, that is very normal! The girl's part is usually higher and so it stands out more and it is easier for our ear to hear the top notes. It takes practice to be able to pick out the lower 'guy's part. Try breaking it down to each note: sing the girls part and then drop the pitch until you settle onto the guy's note. In our tutorial for Fleetwood Mac's 'I Don't Want To Know', we demonstrate two parts separately first and then put them together, try practicing along with the video! ruclips.net/video/DmmrRLH0m5A/видео.html
E. Piovani just keep practicing the part you want to take, and, if possible, do it with a slow tempo at first. I also think practicing with a partner who can sing can help a lot too.
I always tried to harmonize to themusic that I listened with in my phone. Am I weird?
Lol I do that too
Same here, whenever I sing along I usually always harmonize where I can and sometimes I forget the original melody for a second cuz I sing the harmony more often than the original melody
Dallas Onew Era dont wanna break the news to you but all us singers do that 😂 all the time !! It’s very very very common
@@rewesandwich omg me toooo !!!!
Dallas Onew Era SAME! It’s very easy with Shawn Mendes songs if you like singing high notes
I've just realized I can't sing
No, today you realized you need to practise
Me too. I can not sing and i am so embarassed about it. I dont even have enough confidence to sing in front of me in the mirror. Hurt my ears. But i love singing >: too bad
@@gianghinguyen1701 try to find songs that are easy to sing for you, and sing them a lot! understand how your voice works, where it sounds best and practice that a lot. when you got that handled, work on different songs. ot might take a while but you'll at least be able to sing decently. it worled for me, at least
You can do it. Just practice. Maybe take lessons or something. You’ll find your voice and you’ll be able to sing better
Mood
Me: OK, Jenny, I'm going to sing a song, and I want you to harmonize by singing a third above my melody.
Jenny: *puzzled look*
Yeah its not really teaching how it's just teaching what it is really
Hard to concentrate on what they are so clearly explaining when I'm looking at how ridiculously beautiful and handsome they are.
Frank Lesser exactly! Why is god picking favourites?? Why god why?
Period
@Mr Sir Just because you think someone looks nice doesn't necessarily mean you're attracted to them and it's really not necessary and incredibly rude for you to be say that to them even if they are.
Mr Sir
You never confirmed that it was a joke. We can’t hear sarcasm over text. Besides, that’s still a very rude joke. You don’t know the person who originally commented. Saying that could have a really bad effect on them. If it were someone you knew who would understand you mean no harm well that’s one thing entirely. Joking like that about someone you don’t know is something else.
You don’t have to be a liberal to be considerate and have some common sense.
Mr Sir
Deal with what?
You yourself made a big deal out of them possibly being a liberal when that had nothing to do with what was being said. Does that make you a liberal?
I can harmonize by ear.....and i wish i could say how i learned it but i cant say how or when...i just naturally able to do it with any song and i never knew about this video either
You may have perfect pitch
Are we just not gonna talk about how cool their names are?! :O
Everyone who disliked has never heard of harmonizing
Haha!
Armyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Army😂😂😂
@@Rishith_Murala why u laughing tho?i wrote that because the person who commented this was an army...u can see her profile pic😅😅
@@reetbts6409 yeaahhh army everywhere 😍 that's y I laughed🤭😅💜
Thanks for this! I have always sang lead,and couldn't quite get singing harmonies. This helped so much. Also I understand quite a bit of music theory,as a guitarist,so made it easy to understand the triads,CEG,etc.
@@jackisgallant we're trying :(
Aw, you guys are so gorgeous and sound so beautiful together! Very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and ears. Thank you for imparting your knowledge as well, I now have a grasp on what harmony is. Thanks.
Kiki G, what do their looks have to do with anything at all about how well they sing or about singing harmonies in general? If they were unattractive, would not tell them how attractive they are and therefore imply that they were unattractive? I suppose the answer is yes.
John Wayne she could just being giving them a compliment, no harm done.
larissa tabrum, where’s my compliment then? Or yours?
@@Dr.Jekyll Well, we aren't going to give you one because you are causing unnecessary drama and we dont even know what you look like. @larissa tabrum, thank you for handling that comment in a mature way.
But then again, @John Wayne, you could just be having a hard time and relieving your stress on others, but you should just know that in the near future, please don't pull drama out of nowhere.
USA8551 your response is the drama-filled one. Stop supposing and guessing and judging. Looks have nothing to do with singing ability. Prove me wrong.
Thank you so much for this lesson. You have unlocked the basic that most of the beginner singers are taking a hard time with.
This is what I NEED!! THANK YOU!!!!
Cj Diaz Thank you! Make sure to check out our other harmony videos too: ruclips.net/video/ddvhtW3rMeo/видео.html
when i tried to harmonize with my classmates im getting out of tune
try closing one ear
@@aditithayil3671 how do you close an ear what
@@edenem with your finger just close one ear so you won't be able to hear the other voices and you can focus on your own voice. Makes sense?
Keep in mind that that’s a major third in the beginning. You can also use minor thirds to harmonize if there’s a minor chord. I suck at singing but I write songs in a jazz band.
1:52 i liked the second one lol
Same lol
Even with just two notes combined together they sound so good! I don't know how people can dislike this kind of video!
IlovePOTATOES somuch Thank you! 😉
oandoduo welcome!😀
That was such a great tutorial! One of my bucket lists is to learn how to harmonize!
Thank you so much!
Many thanks for this.
Something that has helped me immensely in trying to sing harmonies is to follow some advice I read or heard that suggested thinking of a harmony part as an alternative melody.
In other words, instead of thinking of building harmonies by trying to shadow or think of a harmony for each individual note of the melody, think more broadly, about an alternative 'tune' to the main melody.
Once me and my friend were singing a song and we just atarted harmonizing out of no where and we both were really sirprized cause it sounded so good
Omg love that shirt of the virtuvian man playing a guitar. Goals.
Our home was a musical home - we grew up hearing 4 part harmony so it was natural to "hear" the 4 parts and even sing the 4 parts.
I struggle with not allowing my vibrato to stand out too much. I take opera lessons so this is usually a good quality especially when I was learning trills, however while in choir even if I can decrease my natural dramatic colourtura volume the heaviness of my voice and vibrato always stick out while in a group of even 30.
I learned how to sing harmony by hearing it. My pastor’s wife sang harmony, and I learned from her.
I sang in high school choir and church choir but it's been a lot of years! However, I have been trying to harmonize with songs on RUclips. I have a son with autism who LOVES to sing country songs so I told him we should learn to harmonize. I think it'd be a lot of fun! My mom taught me. Now I can teach him. Thank you for a great video!
Wow very helpful I play piano but my voice at times will not fall into place with the chords this is what I need thank you guys.
It was great to have a vid where two hosts are able to show harmony together, most vids I've seen are a single host explaining the concept: thank you!
Hey! Thanks so much for watching. Glad you found it helpful! We have a new harmony tutorial with one, quick and easy example here: ruclips.net/video/UZNO13xKAPY/видео.html
I guess it needs talent to sing in harmony. I can sing okay but I never understand how to harmonize. 🤦♀️😭
I think it needs practice, it's possible to learn, you just have to get used to the sound. I'm currently singing in a choir and I know people who have learned this... don't give up!! :)
Shanu Groos Choir peeps are super cool! Like they all can harmonize all the 20 voices together! I hope I can do it better someday! Every time I try to harmonize it sounds off 🤦♀️
@@fairfight9857 yess, the choir where I sing is a small one, but I know what you mean!
something that's helped me recognize the way a harmony it's soposed to sound in my own voice is trying to imitate someone else's harmony, if that makes sense haha
I hope this helps you, sorry about my english 🙈

50 years of knowing what sounds nice but not knowing why. Now I know more stuff. Thank you guys. Music theory just may be my new interest.
Thank you for explaining it so well and straight forward! I don't know why so many people seem to have the idea that harmony is "the same note but an octave different." Tried to explain sooo many different times that that's absolutely wrong, but this makes it so much easier. Awesome video!
Thank you so so much for this🥺❤️. My recordings went up a level using harmonies. I was so intimidated by harmonies but your videos made it so much easier❤️❤️❤️
Thank you So much I searched all around about how to sing in harmony, not because I wanted to understand harmonies, but because I wanted to understand how the melody we sing in relation to the instrument chords works, as I just couldn't find someone simply explaining how to sing melodies - it always gave me examples of how to sing harmonies. But this video did everything, cleaned my confusion between the two, and explained both, showed how to do it, thank you. Gonna go watch the next ones now.
I know nothing about music and this made sense to me. You are both skilled teachers.
Hi,I'm a 56 years old man ,music has been of my interest all of my life though I'm not a good musician nor singer,something happened sudenly at this old edge that out of no where i want to learn how to sing.i do not have a good voice,i play basic guitar, im gonna see if i can learn. Have subscribed to your channel and will do my best.well it will be a fantastic adventure.
Basically you sing higher or lower than the person your singing with. Or somewhere in between depending on how many people are singing together.
Great, simple and easy to understand. Sing some songs for Jesus, Amazing Grace etc..
Awesome thank you guys
i rarely leave comments but this was actually insanely helpful
Thank you! So glad you found it helpful. If you enjoyed this one, make sure to check out our latest tutorial where we teach harmony with one easy example: ruclips.net/video/UZNO13xKAPY/видео.html
Thank you both so much for taking the time to do this video and for sharing your knowledge on how to harmonize!!
Hey Dorikah! Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely comment! We are so glad you found this video helpful. Don't forget to subscribe for more :)
Is anyone else reminded of Alexis (Annie Murphy) from SC?
Okay, on topic now: I love these videos! Very educational and entertaining. Thank you!!
they both look. nice together
Lovely sound, but of course when you say a third here you always mean a major third??
Hey Alan, thanks for watching! When you sing a third above a changing melody, you actually often switch between major and minor thirds (and sometimes fourths) to better suit the accompanying chords. In our example, 'Bye Bye Love' by The Everly Brothers, it starts as a Major Third (E above C) and then changes to a Minor Third (D above B).
This is great.I'd love to sing the harmony parts of songs off-the-cuff. The room you guys are teaching/singing in has too much echo/reverb. Listen to one of your vids and consider making an acoustical change.Otherwise super!
Hii, great video! I still have a question for you guys though: whenever I try to sing along in harmony with someone, even though I heard it about a thousand times and know what notes to sing, I sort of automatically change to the notes of the melody, why is this happening??!!?!?!
I love how simple and yet detailed the video is
Not going to lie, I wish I had instructors like you two growing up. Now that I'm an adult and when I look back on it, I didn't have great chorus teachers in elementary, middle, and high school. Sure, they taught the standard music basics and vocal exercises. However, they just did the bare minimum of what was being asked of them. One of those above and beyond things that just isn't really taught, is how to find your own voice and to feel comfortable and confident in your sound. And then to practice learning and building comfortableness in your own unique sound. Everyone typically has a singing style that they're just naturally better at and more suited for. I just really wish someone would have reinforced that it's okay to sound different from others. That as a singer, you will need to be able to match notes with others, and at other times, be able to diverge and sing notes that others are not. In fact, it's a beginning principle for many more advanced techniques that you'll learn later on. However, still to this day, I hate my voice if I'm singing solo. I don't mind it if I'm singing along with someone or in a group. But as soon as the music stops, I immediately stop. It made it difficult for me to trust in my voice and to harmonize with others. As such, I instinctively find and simply match the notes of others.
You both look absolutely beautiful together!😊😊😊😊 And thanks for the guidance!😊
That you for helping me I have a singing facts compition for chorus and I doing trio and I have to do harmony. I needed a couple of tips.
ifs could I woiuld like this twice this is a dream introduction thank you it fixed us
Wow you guys!! You guys taught me the harmonies in 3 minutes that i always wondered if I'd have to take the vocal classses to learn it. 🔥🙏
Awesome! Glad you found this helpful, Tipu!
@@oandoduo 🖤🙏
Awesome, thank you both so much. I've just begun to learn how to vocally harmonize, and this has help tremendously, much appreciated!
I am struggling with hearing the harmony on some of our band's tunes. You have reminded me to use my Guitar Chords to find those harmony notes. THANKS!
That made so much sense. Thank you for your video!
Oh that's how vocals harmonies are made.. Now I get it , it's all about voice leading
You guys sound beautiful together!
I love this
thx! Now I need my friends sing "Shadow of the day" with me in the second chorus, Chorus 3 and last chorus outro.
I practice by taking Songs i like and also know well and then try to harmonize over the original vocals
thanxx a lot for this video, it was very helpful for me.....now my all concepts are cleared about harmony . thanx alot
they are perfect
Oh wow. I didn't realize it was easy as ABC! Thanks a lot. 💐
Thanks for this Beginner's tip to harmonization, I always practice harmony at home without any tutorials, and I kinda gets the tone as I practice it, but this tip helps me to know the harmony of a certain song in the easiest way, good video btw
That's great Terkolou!
Wow this girl is a treasure
Great singing .... Harmony is a peaceful day
Hi Guys, loved the video, thank you. I'm just a normal guy with limited singing ability. I've always been fascinated with singing styles and definitely going to practice this. I now better understand harmony from a musical notes point of view. My question is, how do I translate this to the vocal side. Using my actual vocal chords, throat, chest and whatever else is involved to bring out the harmony? Please forgive me if this is a silly question. I seriously want to learn. Would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Hi Julian, thanks for your comment! There’s not really anyway to improve at singing except to practice over and over. It really helps to record yourself and listen back because the way you sound in your head is not always how it sounds to other people. Play the notes on an instrument and then sing them back. Also, once you get the sound of the third above harmony in your head, try harmonising along to any recording with a simple melody. Happy singing!
Now, I need my Friend to Harmonize.
😅.
Thank You Very Much BTW. 😁
Lovely ... explained so well and easy to understand ...
I know you two were explaining the third, and it sounded good... But I liked the fifth more to be honest! Triumphant and shining, it sounded fantastic! Do you happen to know any examples of the fifth harmony being sung in music?
You will very rarely hear only fifths, but sometimes you'll hear them in passing. It is a very open, neutral sound because it it the 3rds and 7ths that give chords their flavor! 'Power chords' on the guitar are made up of just the root and fifth notes.
Yeah I thought that too😭
Thanks man!
Wow, I never know is going to be this Easy ! You made it so Easy for me Guys, I love you already
Simon and Garfunkel note, got it 🤘
Nice Lesson...Thanks...
This was so on point and actually helpful.. thanks guys
Beautiful!
Thank you so much for your tutorial!!
Am trying to find more of your videos!!!
Short and very helpful
Greetings from Lebanon you are beautiful and your voice is beautiful
this is actually really helpful
Love you guys! You've just changed my life!
Harmony by ear is a Gift
Obadiah, that's definitely a biblical name. It's nice 👍 👌
Omg i think im in fkn love 😍😍 who is this gd angel? I was just tryin to figure out if 50 cent was singing or harmonizing in 21 questions lol
Good format for breaking it down. Thank you!
Nice video guys! I want to sing my own harmonies (as I always sing alone) and I knew it was a 3rd or 5th, but this is really helpful, cheers.
I like her voice
If you don't have anyone to pratice or a piano, you can try this: Pick up a song that you know very well, listen with your earphones and focus on the Chorus, wich is the part when most of the harmonys happens. Then you try to sing the other voice, the third or the second, not the principal voice. Extra tip: duets with couples are the best to do it, because it's easier to learn when is female and male voice, so your ear can separate the voices better. Or you can choose a music group with many voices, as Little Mix, One Direction or BTS, where the voices of the singers are very different from each other.
I don't know if I'm different but because I know the melody line I don't listen to it but I make sure that the harmony part I'm singing makes sense to itself.
My FAVORITE song to harmonize with is Wily Stage 3 on MM2. 😊
Thank you, you're both life savers!
This was very helpful, Thank You!
You're the Beatle Cover guy on Tiktok?!?!?!?! I found this at random!
