    I'm thrilled to present my new personalized vocal program SINGING IGNITION!
    www.singingignition.com
    SINGING IGNITION is a revolutionary self-study singing program that lets you practice techniques and exercises customized for you...wherever and whenever you want!
    The basic problem with a video or audio recording, whether on RUclips or a self-study course, is it can’t give you the valuable feedback you need! They can’t determine what your voice specifically needs, curate the exercises that will work for you, and then adjust the exercises according to how your voice reacts.
    That’s what a good voice teacher does. They tailor the content of their lessons to your needs.
    But maybe you aren’t ready to commit to regular lessons. Or maybe you just can’t afford a voice teacher right now. Times are tough!
    So you're stuck either booking a voice teacher, which can get expensive and has limited hours. Or you are forced to use a self-study course that can’t really give you the feedback you need to excel...
    ...and maybe you just don't feel comfortable quite yet, sharing your talent with anyone else!
    Finally, all of this has been solved by the revolutionary new system SINGING IGNITION!

    I have trained along with several of your workouts. I like your approach. My impression is that you have a way of adding subtle details that other coaches miss. Things like " with a cry" or " keep it bratty" ....These different phonations for me personally seem to help strengthen and explore different areas of mask resonance. This gives me not only strength in my mix but allows for expression and tone beyond the note production itself in a relaxed way. I cannot express how much this seems to help. God bless you, brother

    When he says now you should be in your head voice and I'm like "I've been in my head voice since the second scale". How can I change this?

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  3 года назад +5

      From the first scale, the top one or two notes move into what is commonly the mix voice range for most men, while the lower notes are in chest. But as the scale modulates upward you should be allowing the notes in the middle of the scale to move over into mix voice and eventually head voice, as need be.
      There are a lot of possible reasons why you might be moving into falsetto or head voice early. Some could be health-related and others could be just developmental, but I don't feel comfortable guessing.

      Thanks! I'd have to hear you and work with you to know how high your mix extends, but for most high tenors, their mix is E4-G4 and their high mix or full head voice is A4-C5. Some of these exercises go as high as C5. Feel free to book lessons with me or join my course Singing Ignition to get a vocal program tailored for you.

  • @calumecs
    @calumecs 3 года назад +4

    Thanks Spencer! I've really been enjoying your videos! I have adapted this and the head voice work out to my daily routine! The nay works for me like a charm without any issue no matter the time of the day or my physical state but for some reason the gou and mum can be a hit or miss. Often in the morning I have a ton of rasp even when I'm not pushing too hard but when I come back a few hours later or again in the evening or even in some cases even from the start of the day everything is a lot smoother and I have no issues whatsoever and feel very comfortable throughout the whole work out. I'm confused about how this works and why I'm struggling sometimes and smooth sailing other times. Is it a lack of control / understanding what I should be feeling out or could it be that I am doing something wrong or is it just the fact that my voice is not warmed up enough yet? Maybe this is a complicated question to answer but I thought I'd ask anyway :>.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  3 года назад +1

      I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, Calum! Unfortunately, it's impossible for me to say for sure what's going on in your voice without hearing you and working with you in a lesson. I would just be guessing.
      The most likely options are: a) you aren't warmed up when you wake up. The muscles in your larynx have gone lax as you slept and need to be activated once you wake up to build tonicity and fine control or... b) you have some sort of vocal health issue like acid reflux or dust mite allergy that beats up your voice while you sleep AND/OR... c) you lack the automatized coordination to efficiently close and vibrate your vocal cords on back vowels like OU and UH. It could be one or a few of those issues all at once.
      If you continue to struggle with this issue, I suggest you get checked by an ENT doctor for potential vocal health issues that might be avoidable. The rest of these options are only alleviated through practice and proper vocal hygiene.
      You can always get more personalized advice by booking an online trial lesson at my studio here:

      Glad you like it. Of course, I'd have to hear you to know, but altos are very rare (I've taught 12 in 26 years) so if you truly are one, that's amazing. However, odds are that you actually are a mezzo with an extension in your low range. In what notes does your break/passaggio start?

I can get almost all of these workouts with relative ease through the whole range, but I can't seem to hit mixed voice in the "bratty nay".

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  3 года назад +17

      It's a great question, but unfortunately, there are too many variables to predict the answer: how experienced or inexperienced you are with mix voice, how often you practice, how perfectly you practice, how healthy your voice is, how many good and bad vocal habits you begin with, how much natural feel and intimacy you have with your voice, among other factors. My best advice is to begin where you are and enjoy the process, improving along the way, rather than trying to predict a finish line.

      Unfortunately, I can’t say for sure without hearing you and working with you in a lesson. In general, pushing up your chest voice and tightening your voice will just make your break worse. Instead, try to transition a bit earlier into your mix voice.

    I have a question: during each exercise should I practice with full voice or voice with airy falsetto quality/head voice?
    I am not sure if I am doing it right and with the "airy" voice I don't have troubles. I hope I was clear enough!
    Thank you!

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  3 года назад +2

      You are welcome! When you practice these exercises, aim to sing them at a medium volume from low to high notes. So try not to get louder as you go higher or breathier. Remember that full voice is not just your chest voice. It is chest voice transitioning to mix voice transitioning to head voice as you ascend. Listen to my demonstrations for direction.
      That being said, it is common for the higher notes to start out a little lighter and "hooty" at first, because they are undeveloped. It's ok to begin this way, but slowly aim for them to reach that medium volume that your lower notes are starting at.

    I'm a tenor with more shouty tendencies in my speech than natural speaking and a chesty belting voice far stronger than the current mixed voice I have right now. Even though I was able to follow along with every exercise properly, is it normal considering my vocal tendencies to have a passagio area that is really quiet?

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  Год назад

      Often when our muscles have memorized approaching middle notes by pulling up chest, it's hard train them to do something opposite like mixing. I'd have to hear you to know for sure, but you might have to practice mixing twice as much as pulling chest to see things swing in the mix direction and build up that coordination.

  • @itzcarter8957
    @itzcarter8957 3 года назад +1

    Hey Spencer, I’ve been doing these exercises and head voice exercises for maybe 2 months, but there is not that much of an improvement. My voice sounds very airy. And when I try to sing a song, I always have to do these warmups. Unlike before puberty where I could just sing a song from start to finish with no struggle (especially Bruno Mars songs). But I also think it’s because my voice started changing in August of last year. I’m 15 at the moment and I remember you saying somewhere that it takes years for the teenage voice to develop. What do I sing for now then? Do I just lower the key? I can sing songs in lower keys but it just doesn’t hit the same as the original key if you get what I mean.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  3 года назад

      Yeah, if you are six months into your voice change, it doesn't surprise me that your voice is still airy and adjusting to its new size. I've seen some guys take 6 months to a year to start seeing some progress, and after that, if you are getting the right training and feedback, things slowly start to get easier. It's about a 10-year process for the male voice to completely settle, which doesn't mean you can't build your mix voice before that. It just means it takes patience. What other artists other than Bruno Mars do you like? You can practice scales that go up into your high register, but you will definitely need to sing in lower keys for a while.

    A couple questions. Roughly how many days would it take to build a good mixed voice if I were to do this once a day everyday? Also should I swap out the same stuff for different vowel/constant sounds for them later and try to remove the dopiness after I get comfortable with the exercises with minimal breaks?

      I suggest at once per day 4-6 days per week. But you could practice it more than once in a day if you leave a few hours in between. Morning and afternoon would be great.
      These exercises are designed to build and train efficient muscular and acoustic coordinations that encourage mix voice. Simultaneously, they discourage unwanted tension. As you recruit the right muscles, undesirable muscles are less likely to jump in and compensate.

      Because of the small openings at the nostrils, the nose is not an efficient resonator. Most sound waves that enter the nose through the nasopharynx are lost. So vocal resonance is best produced in the throat and mouth with some sound leaking into the nose. Do you feel that your singing is quite nasal?
