What a delightfully classic RUclips video. So refreshing to see someone just sharing. No “what’s up guys??” no “smash that like & subscribe!”… just a dude & his talent
thanks man, I'm really glad you made this video. I watched it about a year and a half ago and it really helped give me perspective. These days, my overtones are very sharp and I love throat singing. It's come a long way and a lot of it started with you leaving this lovely little video here for other familiar strangers to watch.
I've been working at this incessantly for the last few weeks, and I have a much clearer sound and better control...not to where you're at, but really making progress! You really are a good teacher.
This is a GREAT tutorial. I have to teach this technique this week and I love the way you articulate the steps and components. Knowing how to do it yourself and being able to teach it are totally different things and you did a great job with both! Thank you!
Man, gotta tell you one thing. I'm a teacher and I know what makes you a good one. It is not only the knowledge on a given subject, but the ABILITY to relay the knowledge to someone else. I know teachers who know a lot about a given subject but they DO NOT KNOW how to teach what they know and what they can. I've watched a few vids(tutorials) on how to produce overtones but... it didn't really work for me. It was supposed to be easy, "you can learn it in a few minutes", that kind of stuff. But the first overtones I produced were thanks to your vid. It happened exactly after watching 1:55 mins of your vid. :) Means you are a great TEACHER, man. The key for me was playing with the sound "r" :) That was the basic configuration of my vocal tract. A few seconds later I was able to hear my first overtones :D. Thanks, bud. I just hope my neighbours didn't hear my roaring LoL or they're gonna think I'm getting mad :P (it's 1:50 am here LoL) Big thanks and greets, Yuichi!
+Toshi Buntaro Hey Toshi, thanks so much for the compliment. That means that much more coming from an actual teacher. I'm all about passing on knowledge and helping people get things. So I'm glad this video helped you out :)
Unbelievable You the first one who could explain simply so I can understand and learn very easy!Thank you so much! This world need more simple guy like you!Be proud of yourself!
Thanks alot - I can do it now! Best tutorial on throat singing on youtube. Was getting fed up of people talking rubbish on how to do this. It was alot of experimenting and trial and error to actuall get any overtones but this vid deffinitly helped.
Now I'm still practising and getting the overtones louder and louder and having fun annoying my neighbours :)
Thanks for the great lesson. Giving us instruction on where to place the tip of the tongue makes all the difference in the world. After one day, I'm making overtones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thankyou! 1 year after my first attempt (maybe two) ive been slacking off alot to... but the other day was camping... and somehow had it! but lost it... so looked it up to see if there was new HOW TO's and.... your vid just helped it click! thanks a mil man. And to others trying to learn... just like the didgeridoo and circular breathing... it will suddenly just click one day, once you understand how it works... like this guy shows!!
an even easier way to do it, which i discovered kinda by accident goofing around: start by humming, then use the air from that to whistle at the same time. humming plus whistling equals controlling two notes at the same time, therefore you can get overtones. this is a good video and also a good explanation, so thank you
Dude throat singing can bring so much happiness. A number of people with find the tones too strident for their own liking, but it will make those that do appreciate it that much closer. Throat singing is now a passion and I hope to travel to Tuva within the year.
All the techniques you explained, I know of, but I never knew they were used in overtone. This was awesome, bro. Those techniques, are also used by metal vocalists for different genres of metal, as well as different vocal techniques such as gutterals and other things. Thx bro, this video was actually helpful! I'm practicing this stuff more!
@LE3lite If you're already getting a full sound from your overtones, it's not anything that you can increase the volume. But if you're in the process of getting it, lot of increasing the sound is changing the shape inside your mouth, the angle of the tongue, just basically playing around and adjusting till you find what works for you. In general, notes beyond sol doesn't come out too well. I haven't heard any of the pros go beyond that. Even getting a clear, loud sol is hard for me.
I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart,for not bringing Any (ego ) into this video.Your actually teaching!With Love and respect for this beautiful art. You actually made the best,most helpful video on youtube.Your obviously an Awsome guy! Be well, Thanks Again!
wow, thanks!!! I was able to do it after watching this video probably after my 4th or 5th try.....I can't change the pitch as of yet, but I can hear the overtones. Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Dude, thanks man. This video helped me learn basic overtoning. Now I just hope I can get to use it. This is a great video for learning how to overtone.
Haha, this is brilliant! You are a really good teacher. I am going to practice this now and probably drive my poor husband insane! :D Thanks for taking the time to add this xxxx
This was great, a nice tutorial that isn't too complicated but comprehensive enough for beginners to catch on. My 9yo sister and I enjoyed watching it and practicing along haha :) thanks!!
+Yuichi Tuba Thanks to you i managed to do this but i have noticed that when i sing a NORMAL song with my choir i can hear my polyphonic overtones and even rarely other peoples' overtone . Even when I hold any one note i hear one overtone. Its creeping me out. For example i was singing Oh holy night yesterday with my choir. On the Fall on your knees part and i could hear a whistle from my voice that changed pitch ... etc i dont know how else to explain it. How can i sing normally like i used to before i learned this ? It would help me a lot of you replied . thanks a lot !
+mike hill I bet you're still singing "normal." My guess is you've awakened your ears to the overtones that were always present. Consider it a gift that can now hear so many rich and exciting overtones in your singing.
I love this video, Iove you. I always loved overtone singing. Got it very quick. got only short little overtones, but its an overtone. such a simple vid, you make perfect sense and I understand everything you were saying. Thankyou for the vid.
Your tutorial has helped me a lot, thanks! I just need my overtones to be amplified, could you give me some advice to make them sound more powerful? Greetings from Chile!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've already got hand of some elementary singing. I was doing it wrong until i saw your video! And i guess I'm one of the faster learners :)) now i just need to practice and practice. Thank you again.
@MsNathalieD Yes, I have a tip for you to get your overtones louder. First, make a sound of HHRRR, almost like whispering, without any vowel there. It's like the H is a blowing sound, and 'graft' the R onto the whole sound simultaneously. Always use this in addition to manipulating the tongue during overtone singing. It will help to project the overtones.
I subtly laugh to myself from time to time when people ask "how?" to throat sing. It certainly is a challenge, and after a while shaping the tones becomes almost entirely a feeling in the mouth-but you certainly did a great job at putting words to it for beginners. Teaching is a challenge, so I had to thank you; especially since overtone throat singing brings me such great joy.
I've been trying off and on since.....'93 or so?? assumed you had to have that rough "Mongolian-type" throaty tone to get a trill that produced the harmonic. would try it until it felt like my throat was bleeding. watched your video Tuesday (12/20/11) and yesterday (12/22/11) on the commute home a got a harmonic. Couldn't try it again for about 5 minutes due to the giggling. Got three pitches last night. Woo-hoo! thanks!!
there is a guy here on you tube doing a tutorial about throat singing...and he even knoe«w that your tongue should be place with the tip of the tongueon mouth's top. Excellent job!
I just want to say two things. One: Tuvan singing done correctly (after much incremented practice done carefully) will not produce nodules I've been doing it for seventeen years and can still nail a countertenor's high Eb (without breaking into falsetto). Two: if the piece you taught was Past Life Melodies, then you taught the wrong form, but it ends up working. You still have great skill. The tongue control is difficult. The overtones required are not in the whistle register (continue next com)
wow, good job! Ya, it's a matter of constantly doing it. I'm out of practice right now. Also, the camera mic picks up the overtones well so it sounds louder than it actually is I think. But ya, you'll eventually be able to have the overtones shoot out more as you practice.
@tehBac6n There's no whistling involved, just your voice and the shaping inside your mouth. It should feel just as normal as when you sing "oooo" but once you get it, eventually you'll begin to hear a high frequency like when I do it. Keep it up, you should be able to do it for sure!
I'd love to be able to do this. I'm a band director, and to teach a beginner brass player the concept of an overtone, this would be cool. I'm also glad I live alone so I can practice.
@bicajoao You can't silence the low note (or, your actual voice) but a way to hide it is have an instrument, or even other people droning the same note. That way the higher overtone will come out to the foreground even more. If you search on here "Past Life Melodies" you can skip to the very end and they do this drone. I think Biola University's version you can really hear it.
Thanks, you helped me very much. It's not easy to find out whatya doin wrong when noone explains what kind of mistakes are possible. btw, love your octopus face at 5:35
@ColleenPeahen Ya, no problem :) Ya, the car is a great place to practice because the low rumbles of the car engine helps cancel out your voice, making the higher frequencies of the overtone to be more noticeable.
hi.. very interesting video, I just looked up youtube on singing 2 notes at the same time and found this.. I`ve never heard that kind of high piched sound before, but I have been experimenting with singing and whistling at the same time, and it sounds similar to what you are doing.. it gets really fun when you are able to control both sounds and make harmony, and even sing two parts of a song at the same time ( ussually I do bass with my voice and whistle the soprano).
For those who want an example, look up here on youtube: "Chanticleer Past Life Melodies" The high ringing notes (there are two places where you get a stack of four or five together) are in fact being produced vocally, not by any hidden instrument. And if you don't believe me, trying to produce an overtone that loud with this tongue technique will strain your vocal chords and possibly ruin your voice. It is amplification by the same structure in multiple voices.
@dreamer097 The trick is that you are changing the proportions of the resonating chambers as you go along. The shapes of these chambers changes due to whatever tongue method you use (horizontal, vertical, diagonal or turtle). Also try grafting a constant HHHRRR to your sound for projection.
No complaints, only credits! That was a perfect tutorial. I haven't tried it yet, not going to do it now either (parents are in the room :P ). I'll try it in the morning after a good nights rest. Thank you!
Great explanation man, without you I'd still be trying unsuccefully. Actually it is pretty simple! Thanks to your video I could do it within a few hours. THANK YOU MAN!! I could help it, I subscribed!
hi Chris! You know, I can't say that I'm 100% sure about this, but I personally keep the tip of my tongue on the roof at all times. One thing that I've changed recently is opening my nasal cavaties so it sounds more nasally, bringing out the overtones more.
That's cool you got it in a week! If your throat feels tired from it, it's either 1) you have been doing it too much, and/or 2) you are singing with your throat. Remember, the singing part doesn't have to be throat singing like how the real guys do it. You can sing like how you sing classical or jazz or pop. Singing, in general, should be a comfortable thing; exactly like talking.
@louedawg Ya, basically your use your mouth to "cut" the note. Harmonics are basically what the fundamental note is made out of; and one pitch is made up of several notes. This kind of technique is used to bring out certain notes that is a part of the fundamental that you're singing.
"you may annoy your neighbors but who cares?" exactly. art is for poseurs, creativity is for everyone, taste is debatable! you are here to create, so get to it!
Has anyone else heard their overtones while humming? Only just started so I'm not very good yet, so is it just my ear tuning in to overtones? Thank you so much for the video - I'm excited to get better!!
You are a very likeable person, and I say that about few people. Also what a great lesson. I started getting it right when you said "it took me two years", and then asked myself if I was hearing things. Then I heard you mention the three people getting it in minutes. I guess I'm lucky with having the right chamber shape, but you also did a perfect job of demonstrating the technique. I could never whistle through my fingers, so I'm thrilled about this, Lol. I can only get one tonal change though. Does it help to be a singer?
"you "MAY" annoy your neighbours or your friends" Every overtone singing tutorial warns about this. I wonder why lol. In any case im getting better as time goes by, im beginning to find the harmonics' sweet spot or resonance. Thanks for the video, it's really useful
If you sing correctly, you should make overtones with your normal singing. I have no idea what to say about this, I tried it and I made an "overtone", but it was basically just a whistle using my tongue and teeth over humming, kind of like humming and whistling at the same time, or playing a brass or woodwind instrument and humming at the same time.
Me and my friend accidentally sung in the exact pitch and we overtoned and we freaked each other out lol
Something similar happened to me
I was whistling n my friend started it too it sounds weird

I can get the overtone sound, but its faint. Its so difficult to hear the overtone over the fundemental bass note
Hah, nice expression at 5:37.

SWEET! Good tutorial man. Had me producing overtones in a couple of goes. Hat off to you sir.
I'm getting it! Sorta, I managed to get the overtone sound going just not very loudly. Thank you!!
Very good. I've just learned overtune singing thanks to you.
It just takes time. The more you work on it, the more you'll find your "sweet spot" where the overtones will come out the most.
Everything has overtones...machines voices....everything
So?

That's cool you got it in a week! If your throat feels tired from it, it's either 1) you have been doing it too much, and/or 2) you are singing with your throat. Remember, the singing part doesn't have to be throat singing like how the real guys do it. You can sing like how you sing classical or jazz or pop. Singing, in general, should be a comfortable thing; exactly like talking.
@louedawg Ya, basically your use your mouth to "cut" the note. Harmonics are basically what the fundamental note is made out of; and one pitch is made up of several notes. This kind of technique is used to bring out certain notes that is a part of the fundamental that you're singing.
"you may annoy your neighbors but who cares?"
exactly. art is for poseurs, creativity is for everyone, taste is debatable!
you are here to create, so get to it!
As a classical singer, I appreciate you showing how to do it without throat singing.
you're a good teacher! very clear, thanks.
Has anyone else heard their overtones while humming? Only just started so I'm not very good yet, so is it just my ear tuning in to overtones? Thank you so much for the video - I'm excited to get better!!
YHANK U SOOO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i made it at thre first try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good! I'm glad to hear that, keep working at it and you'll be able to do it.
Holy....just tried it for the first time and it worked. Kinda freaky, thanks for tutorial!
Wow, that's so encouraging for me to hear that. I'm glad that you were able to get it.
You are a very likeable person, and I say that about few people. Also what a great lesson. I started getting it right when you said "it took me two years", and then asked myself if I was hearing things. Then I heard you mention the three people getting it in minutes. I guess I'm lucky with having the right chamber shape, but you also did a perfect job of demonstrating the technique. I could never whistle through my fingers, so I'm thrilled about this, Lol. I can only get one tonal change though. Does it help to be a singer?
Yes me too, it’s not perfect at all but I got the overtone in three minutes! A very good teacher I guess !!!
This is really a good tutorial! I can do a little whisteling already! Thank you.
Polyphonic/overtone singing is also called Mongolian-Tuvanic (Turkic) throat singing.
"you "MAY" annoy your neighbours or your friends"
Every overtone singing tutorial warns about this. I wonder why lol. In any case im getting better as time goes by, im beginning to find the harmonics' sweet spot or resonance. Thanks for the video, it's really useful
Initially, you must be a good kisser ;)
If you sing correctly, you should make overtones with your normal singing. I have no idea what to say about this, I tried it and I made an "overtone", but it was basically just a whistle using my tongue and teeth over humming, kind of like humming and whistling at the same time, or playing a brass or woodwind instrument and humming at the same time.
