As an untrained alto, my head voice has always scared me; I tend to avoid it at all times. This lesson really helped-- I feel more equipped to start experimenting with my head voice. Thanks!
Awesome!
Evynne Hollens as a alto I'm in choir in my middle school. And I'm in advanced choir lately my voice has been very raspy and very breathy and not supportive. When I'm singing the do-do singing in my choir I can only get to "fa" before getting very raspy and very breathy. I also know that I am not singing in my head voice. I have been like this for about a month. What should I do to fix this?
Thank you so much for the help.!
im an soprano...and i am not that good on singing my national anthem like im in an opera
sorry for my english XD
Anna31415926 i sang a lot of amy lee.. studied her vocal type. it helped SO much along with these techniques to develop my head voice. i get an effortless vibratto in that range now since working on all this. most important thing is to relax. your head space area that your upper range needs will get smaller and more constricted when you're tense.
sing like snowwhite sings to her birds in the disney movie 😂 sounds silly but if you do that enough while focusing on your technique you can train yourself to let go a little more in that range instead of feeling so forced.
As a soprano, I find it so difficult to sing with my lower register and starts to "vocal fry". Don't know if that's the right terminology for that. Can you please give some tips?
1.Ifting soft palette
2. Open relaxed vowels
3. Use your mask
4. Not signing with so much air (Focuse your tone )
I lost my ability to yawn 2 years ago due to severe anxiety and this video helped bring back my yawn 👏👏
Omg lol
How can you not yawn? 😯
*nOnI*
🙃 wait what?!
Ah that makes sense. I used to be unable to burp haha
I’m a female alto who is mostly untrained. I’ve been super afraid of my head voice because I’m used to a very full sound. Thank you for this :)
Here for into the unknown and show yourself
Lmao yall need to chil. I can do it nkw somwhat but im gone to rock now :D
ZeldaZee ZZ same
hahahah yes!
ZeldaZee ZZ same
lmaooo sameee
Lol same
I can watch her all day...wish she was my music teacher. Im VERY insecure when it comes to singing...cant even sing in front of my husband. She maked me feel safe but i know shes the real deal.
you go girl! sing fo yo hubby!
It may seen silly. But these videos have actually helped me sing better and higher and not ruinning my vocal cords. (I also use Felicia Ricci channel, actually more tham this one).
Me too!
Me too!
But both of them are awesome 😁💙
Marco Ferrao you should also karyn(sing wise vocals) she is really good
Marco Ferrao me too I watch her too
I can’t do head voice AT ALL anymore. I don’t know if it’s because my voice has matured or it’s due to puberty but I do hope you have some tips on how I can do it again.
Me neither. And I'm really confused and frustrated.
Yeah I lost it too
Kenya the same thing happened to me :((( I hope it will go away once my voice stops changing
Kenya I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum. I’m 57 years old and even though I’ve used head voice and falsetto for a very long time, I’m losing them. So frustrating.
I don't think you can "lose" your head voice, but your range can become lower.
*light bulb moment* So that's how it works! I've felt my mask vibrate before, but had no idea why. I also had no clue about how the soft palate works. Thank you bunches!
For the soft pallet thing my choir teacher always says to bring your voice back (if that makes any sense). As in to the back of your head, in your throat. She explains it better…
She also compares it to singing like an old British lady XD
Thanks for sharing this, this helped. The yawn breath thing wasn't working for me, I kept yawning!
Thanks for sharing this because I couldnt tell if I was doing it or not but by this description, yes, I'm doing it right
Can you do one for mixed voice? I literally can't figure it out, I'm a guy.
Now I'm constantly yawning haha but amazing teaching!! Always looking for ways to make my singing better :) Thanks!
This comment made me yawn haha
Yh I just yawned after reading this comment
I just yawnedddd
i searched how to sing like taeyeon and this vid is the very top
BTS is everything!!! good you know XDXDXD
BTS EVERYTHING same 😂👍
same
lmaaao same XDD
LMAO SAME
So simple to just raise the soft palette but it's actually made a massive difference!! The way you explained it too helped so much :) Thank you!
When you said: we are gonna do a lot of yawn, I opened my mouth and literally started yawningout of nowhere🤣
ikr same
Day 1: I've always avoided head voice, being an alto and being to scared to sing higher than I'm used to. This is before the video, hope I can improve a bit!
Amazing video Ev! I took choir but our teacher never really gave me the help I needed. I was a soprano but I've always thought I sounded and felt constrained when I would sing higher notes. Everything you said was very eye opening!
Crazii Craft Seriously! I don't know how it is that some teachers can explain it and others just can't -- I never got it until I was in chorus in grad school, for crying out loud. :) She does such a great job :)
This is great for those that have a falsetto. I dont. I just have chest voice and thats it. Been using only that from Sept of 73 when I started working full time in clubs, to when I retired in 2019. This mixed voice/head voice is something some can do and others cant.
*Great Vocal lessons with Evynne Hollens*
I try so hard and I never feel like I am doing any of that
so do I
your lessons have helped sooo much..lol I don't get a sore throat anymore. ty soo much
I’m an alto who’s really into doing musical theatre but isn’t really confident in my voice and can I just say, your videos are helping so much, it’s crazy. Thank you!
I took choir and a few voice lessons all through out school but stopped singing when I graduated high school. I love these videos! They have gotten me back into singing on a regular bases. The best part is that my husband and I found out that we were going to have our first baby and my biggest dream for my future children especially this little girl is that she will have a heart of worship and musical/singing talents far more beautiful then I can imagine! We listen to everything you and Peter share and now I'm not only playing music for her but singing to her ALL the time! Thank you! **Can't wait for the belting lessons. I'm a loud singer but belting is something I have ALWAYS wanted to know how to do!**
As a Tenor, I couldn’t even reach the first top note without my voice cracking 🤣😂
Hi Evynne, I really enjoy this video as I have learned a lot from this :) I was wondering if you could talk more about vowels modification as well as singing through the higher bridge, mine is at A4. Thank you so much for the helpful tips :1
I really love these videos! Thank you!
Dawn Noele Hull Oh good! Thanks Dawn!
Evynne Hollens may I ask you a question
My voice when I try to get to Head voice the sound cuts off then you will just hear air passing but no vowels or whatever. Idk why that happens. Its sounds like a screeching voice cracking wheezing air
same :(((
Wow.... I've heard so many times that raising my soft palette is important and yet you're the only person i've ever come across that explained where it is properly lmao. It's actually crazy how much better it sounds. Thank you!
I always had problems with this, I sang for much time in alto register in the choir I participate because I felt uncomfortable using head voice, I was untrained. 5 years ago I had amazing classes with a classical teacher here in Brazil and she showed me how to use that in a very powerful way. So I started to sing as a soprano in the choir (and sometimes mezzo). But I spent 3 years without singing, because I went to study in Australia and there I hadn't participated in a music group. So now I am back, but feeling that fear again... I am determinate to stop being scared of using my voice again! I love this channel !!!
i swear i couldn't sing at all before finding your channel but now when I sing along to songs i hear my friends look actually surprised that im not murdering them XD
As a guy and a baritone who has scoured youtube for lessons on singing in head voice, this was definitely the most helpful video I've found.
Hi There !!
Thanks for all your how to sing videos. I just love them !
Are you planning on making one about the "deep" voice ? I mean....how to work on low notes, make them grow and strong, warm and everything ?
Have a nice day :)
This is amazing ! I recently paid for a monthly singing membership that in 1 month has not been as helpful as 2 of your videos! Thank-you for posting! (I think I will be following you now instead ;)
As someone who's always sung in a choir, I only now understood how I can help my voice out of that kind of raspy sound I get when I do high notes. You're amazing, I really learned a lot more about myself with you than during practice. Lots of love to you!
Oooooh now i know..bcoz when im singing my palate is not lifting..very good explanation..thank you
Two things I noticed I improved through my years of a Capella and choir were both the power of my falsetto and also moving seamlessly from chest voice to falsetto.
Very very helpful! I am an alto and I have always struggled with a weak and airy headvoice, this video definitely helped improve it. Thank you!
I have no idea how to read notes, sing from my head voice or stomach. This video helped me be a little more confident. Thank you!!
Dear teacher, no words.
I follow you in your " didactic" lessons, and I cry to reach such a notes, thanks a lot.
I ve just seen an " unbearable" video of an opera couple singer; they supposed to be the best😅😅
I saw yours; your hands; your knowledge and the " respect" to us...humble opera students...what a difference.
Please, more videos, you are a good teacher.
In choir I sing soprano, but when I go for higher notes. It sounds breathy, this video really helped. Thank you!
I've seen you touch a bit on breathiness in this video and in some others, which has been great. Could you do a full video on getting rid of breathiness (especially for altos)? Thanks so much for all of these videos; they are so wonderful.
These are awesome, free voice lessons on RUclips!! Doesn't hurt that its from Evynne Hollens, a professional singer, with a college education in voice, who is herself a pro voice teacher and someone I trust. A real bonus for me, with ADD, any normal live schooling atmosphere I don't do as well, because my attention can easily drift and a few seconds of inattention can mean missing key details of instruction. With a video, I can re-watch the entire lesson or specific parts as needed to make sure I absorb all of the information. :) Thanks so much for creating these, Evynne!!
I think this is her third video-voice-lesson so far, there's far more info on details that a novice doesn't even...know exist.
how can i get more lessons from you if i dont live in the U.S.? 😭😭😭
If I had a million dollars, I'd move to Oregon and take lessons from you, Evynne. Since I don't have a million dollars, I'll have to settle for the videos. ;-) Thank you so much for doing this. :-) (I have a solo to sing at church in a couple months, so I really appreciate the tips on using my head voice.)
Wow thanks alot a new knowledge for me to enhance my falsetto skills. Appreciated it lots Thnaks again
You and Peter have such beautiful voices! I watched a couple of your duets this evening and you really compliment each other. I'm so glad I "discovered" you both! (lol)
I am in between a soprano and alto, so j always switch between my head and chest voice. This helped me to understand how to use my head voice to my advantage and by to hurt my vocal chords.. As I always do. Thank you!
1) U’re so beautiful & I love ur lip gloss
2) U’re such an AMAZING music teacher, I got it only after ur video and you can explain very clear and simply but it would work! Thank you so much 4 your channel &these lessons❤️
I really like how she focuses on both male and females voice parts. I also like her strategies she uses it's like the ones in class. @Mr. Dawson
Your voice lessons are the best. Please keep them coming. You're such a blessing to many. Thanks a million times.
Nice meeting you here. This exercise is excellent!
Thank you
Thank you so much for this! I'm singing Climb Every Mountain from the Sound of Music for a cabaret and I've really been struggling with it but this helps immensely!!
Thank you! You've given me some things to picture that help to visualize falsetto. I'm untrained but enjoy singing mostly in church - I guess the key would be to really connect with a teacher who can help me down the path of honing skills.
omg i love you. finally someone explaining how to "widen the mouth properly" ... explaining the soft pallet in a way i understood xD very well done. thank you.
Evynne, it would be wonderful if Peter could join you to demonstrate head voice in a male.
By the way, I LOVE the voice lessons you put on here! I can't wait for the next one! 😀
the BEST singing advice ive come across on youtube! My high notes sound so crisp now thank you xx
This explanation, especially the examples, made this concept so so much clearer to me! So nice to be able to hear the difference. Thank you!
As I wrote earlier, my dream is to hear you singing THE STORY Brandy C :) have a great weekend.
Can you do a video about breathing tips and exercises?
I'm prepping for auditions for next summer season already and I want to go in confident in myself. I'm hoping to land a featured role
6:39 you sound EXACTLY like Missy from Big Mouth
Wow ! The "focused" tone @5:40 is WAY more powerful.
Thank you so so so so much Evynne! I love that you do these voice videos because I am an amateur and need as much help as I can get, and your videos really help to break it down and make it easier to learn. Thanks!
Excellent! Really clear! Like the summary at the end. I will remember this before singing at church tonight. Thank you!
I'm really excited to learn this as I'm starting my singing career! :)
I want to get my voice back to where it was in my choir days. When I was 18 I had my tonsils out and feel that I've lost my some of my range. I used to be able to sing tenor to soprano, but now just tenor to alto. Your vids are very helpful please keep making them!
I've heard lots of these tips before, but I really liked your explanations! It's helpful to have so many great reminders all in one easy-to-reference video! Thanks!
I think I can apply pretty much all of this to falsetto.
Used to be one of the strongest sopranos in my school choir as a boy, then puberty hit and my register dropped all the way down to bass. That sucked for a while, since a lot of the songs I used to sing, I just couldn't any more. Learning falsetto brought some of it back, but fortunately I've learned to enjoy some of the things only bass singers can do. As a result of all of that, for a casual singer (I might have a handful of gigs in a year, at best), I've got a fairly expansive register, which works out very well for livelooping.
I did notice an interesting thing when I started to beatbox: my breathing technique improved significantly, and I just found I had so much more control over the "mouth muscles", than I ever did before. I think learning to beatbox would be a great help for any singer, really. Plus, it's just fun and cool. =P
This was so helpful! I used to really stress my head voice in the wrong way a few years ago, and then I started completely avoiding it, only working on my chest voice for a long time (because this seemed a lot easier). Now I feel like I can really work on my head voice again in the right way :)
This lesson was so helpful!!! Thank you, Evynne!
Can you talk about how to deal with a changing voice? I thought my voice was pretty settled - then over the summer my voice went up... I know a few people with similar issues, and I would love to learn how to deal with it.
WoW! This is the best head voice advice I have ever had! Seriously. You just improved my singing style significantly.
Thanks so much! This was really helpful. I've been coached about singing in my higher register before but this made a lot more sense. You really described what's happening in the mouth to achieve the right sounds well. Thank you!
Wow this is helpful. Now I think I can distinguish my falsetto from head voice. All this time I thought I can only do falsetto, but can actually do head voice 👌
I’m trying this tomorrow first thing in the morning ,thanks for sharing !
Loved this, it was very helpful. Good thoughts to think about while singing high, which isn't where I am most comfortable.
A video with what you normally do for a warm up would be great, something all of your watchers could sing through every day.
I think I might be a contralto but I’ve read a lot of people saying that most “contraltos” aren’t actually and just don’t know how to use their head voice. I can sing with head and chest voice and switch easily, but my range is literally just on the lower end of the spectrum. I cannot hit those higher notes no matter how hard I try 🤷♀️
Will try this soon, when my voice healed... 😂😂
I hope I can finally hit my highest note (G5) without suffering vocal damage like I did a few days ago..thanks
Gotta show off Cross-Laterals at some point, they are a right laugh but when singing with sheet music in front of you the difference is incredible!
Thanks for the videos ...I am in over the phone sales and follow your warm up videos to warm up my voice ...you’re amazing
Thank you for this!!! I'm singing a Judy Garland song, and I need to use my head voice.
I only sing in head voice since my chest voice range is G, but my head voice is top A. I've sung in it for like 5 years and when I tell people they don't believe me because it sounds like a chest voice belting 😂 just done grade 7 and gotten 91% (only head voice, singing low is soo difficult when nervous)
can i just say a massive thank you for these videos! I can sing relatively well but i've never had coaching and i have to audition for my schools musical in a few weeks and these videos have helped me improve so much!
Thank you so much. Ill have to watch a few times but i love to sing and am trying to work on head voice. This helped alot.
I love what you do
Brava!! It is Indeed all about the soft palate. You are great!!
Evynne Hollens, I'm a countertenor (C3-C6). Do you have any exercises to make my head register stronger and more speech-like? I'm going for a Mitch Grassi sound.
Let's be real who isn't going for a Mitch grassi sound? I'm in a girls choir and we sometimes collaborate with a boys choir and they have little to no tenors so I have to act as the tenor/counter tenor even though I'm a contralto who can go high as well. I think mitches most powerful aspect of his voice is the ability to have so much power in his head voice, the line between head and chest voice for him is very blurred but sometimes he pushes himself and he cracks a little, so my only advice is to keep practicing scales with a piano without going breathy and when you start to feel strain stop. Honestly the best way to strengthen the upper register for me is to consistently practice the chest register. Having a strong foundation will allow for you to build a strong head voice on top of that
MITCH GRASSI SLAY-
Great class. I've been singing for years, but I am still learning.
A lot of GREAT tips, thank you Evynne!!
Hi 👋🏻 would you please help me how to sing "Run" from Leona Lewise ?
i try it but i can feel the resonate in the mark. What should I do?
I think this is the best video for getting into using head voice. I couldn’t even access mine before I did this video
This has to be the best HV vid I've watched. Really really good sounding advice. Thank you
You are a really great!! The way you explain the feelings are amazing! That last bit did really help me understand head voice, even tho I’m not fond of the nasal whine in “pop music’’ I can see the way you teach ! If you have to project the sound vs singing the sound ! Thank You!
This is a great explanation. Now I feel the difference between hard and soft palate!
Thank you so much Evynne, these videos really do help ! :) I will be auditioning to enter a drama company by the month of September and I have to sing... I really love to but I never really learned how to properly sing and I'm afraid to get in my upper register ! I think I might sound less weird thanks to your tips ! ^^ All about that palate ! ;) I already put in practice your warm ups throughout the day ramdomly... x) Keep up with these videos, I love them ! (sorry for the possible clumsy grammar, I'm French)
Thanks so much. This is exactly what I needed to practice with and watch. My dad first introduced this video to me. See, I'm going to Miami Arts Charter and my art is chorus and there will be this concert for our choir and there's this song that I am auditioning for a solo on and there's this really high note that I'm reaching for but can't quite get. But this video is definitely helping me. Thanks.
I love your humor and energy! I'm a beginner-beginner! Never even thought about singing before except in my car which is always going to be happening!! LOL Thanks for the tips!
you seem like such a wonderful teacher! your students are so lucky!
WOW, I don't consider myself a good vocalist, but your teaching really helps. You have a great way of making it simple with excellent description. Enjoy your voice and have fun. Love is the answer
I could hit the note and kinda lift my soft palette but I don’t feel any resignation in my head. Help! Pleeaassee!!
