Is it possible there’s been a glitch in the system?? There’s no !#*! Reason to pull your channel…scary actually, to be subject to that… Anyway, we love you Kegan, and will follow you wherever you go!! (And maybe the glitch will undo?!?)
This was also my thought - they've denied it was compromised, so I'm in the dark at this point. I'm actually enthused to just move on with a whole new level of coaching and videos for you lovely folk. Thankyou for joining me here again - K
Awesome! Great advises! explaining things to the point without over-complicating things is very valuable! and often not very easy to do! I love new channel!
Great to have you back. ❤ I wanna say to YT, I do not approve the complete cancellation! 🤬 … but who cares? Monopolists can not really be put in their place by neglect. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks - I'm also in the dark. This was the last video I uploaded the channel, the channel was removed before I was able to take it live. Google have refused the reinstate it or give me any further information. Best - K
@@FoundationVocalStudio Can you still sign into the RUclips account / channel? Did they send you any kind of email notification? Do you have a Twitter account that you can use to reach out to Team RUclips?
Hey Tim! Thanks for the advice. No, the account itself is gone - no notification at all. I was simply prompted to set up a new account when I logged in from that moment. I've spoken directly to YT Creator team, they deny the account was compromised and have refused to reinstate the account or give me any further information. Once I mentioned I had lost revenue and also lost reputation and subscribers built over a decade - they stated they would only communicate through their legal point from then onwards. I'm just going to move forward at this point, and perhaps it's some sort of lesson or sign that I'm yet to see and learn from. I'm half expecting this channel to disappear at some point in the same manner as I've talked about it publicly on their platform. Best - K
Missed you, dawggie. Glad you’re back! Back and diagonal was a nice visualization that worked for me. I have a low sort of mumbly speaking voice so I think that helps me to keep the space open at the back.
This is a such a great video--information and comedic relief alike. Keep em coming! Sorry about the old channel btw, absolute bullshit. Finding you doing Room A Thousand Years Wide is what led me to this point.
Keegan is out here making sexy voices that’s why they are trying to cancel you!!! I’m doing everything you said in this one video no bs no fluff I still need some work but my girl loves it 😂👍
I love your stuff, man. You're still the only reason that singing became a feasible goal for me. I even do opera style tones, depending on the song. Now, I wonder what kind of changes will happen, if I simplify the way that I think of my singing, in this manner. (I do still need to go through the rest of the blueprint material that I got from you, a while back, too)
Right? I kinda said that in jest as it was the last one I uploaded (perhaps Aussie humour) - before I could make it active the account was gone. Best - K
Sorry to interrupt but... Death was such a great band.. And Chuck was one of a kind, literally. I don't really like death or prog death metal etc, but I always do an exception for this band. Rock on man!
I'm huge into oldschool Death Metal, as my Tshirt collection might imply ha. Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Death, Pestilence etc. Check out "The Nameless Elite" by Asphyx and "For Victory" by Bolt Thrower, they're my jams when I'm working out in the garden ha.
I'd love to, but RUclips ungraciously removed my account - not all the videos were archived, so unfortunately much of what was there is lost. All I can do is start again and do new videos and covers - K
Keagan, I’m confused because in this video it sounded like you contradicted yourself? In the beginning of this video step one you said for high notes to figuratively imagine starting at the hard palate and “then to send your voice diagonal and back“, and you were pointing your fingers towards the back of your head.… then towards the end of this video you said step three to sing forward… What am I confused about? Thanks, I follow you because you are one of the best voice teachers on RUclips and elsewhere!
They're two different frequencies, so, what I mean is to sing in the back - but keep it bright and 'forward'. You'll have the pitch and body of the sound (and in the case of back vowels also ping) in the back, but you'll be have a bright tone in the front. K
Keagan, when you say sing in the back are you talking about the voice/the air stream that can be directed to go to the front or back or middle.? And you're saying to direct the airflow toward the back for high notes and not send the voice/airflow toward the front... is that correct? (Thank you!)
I hear you - it's something you have to play with. Can you make a falsetto high sound in the back of your head, kind of like an owl "hOOOOt"? This is a good starting point.
Excellent question - forward placement is actually a harmonic that is independent from your pitch, so a good way to learn this is to practice separating the sounds in your mind. Go between EH (bright in the mouth) to AH (bright in the back) but sing both with a bright forward sound - you'll notice there's actually more than one sound going on. Then there's twang which is separate, your fundamental, and something like 12 other harmonics all going on at once. Learn to find the ones you need and boom! You can sing back into the pharynx but keep it forward at the same time :) -K
Sucks that your old channel was deleted. I want to thank you for all your videos, they have helped me a lot, unlike those big channels telling you to just open your throat and do weird voices. Do you have any advice for the song Call me a dog, i can't hit the high notes in the chorus without pushing or straining, while the verses are really easy? I think i'm a tenor and have tried your vowel modifications, but can't make them work for me.
Ha, thankyou - no monkey sounds here just yet! Yes, I'll be using this as a reference - the key with "time" is to sing an AA vowel like the word 'cat' like t-AA-m but make sure it's not too wide. A slight cry in the tone will help you get there too!
@@FoundationVocalStudio Thank you for the answer and the video. Like i replied in the answer video, that sounds like Ä in Finnish vowels. I need to experiment with these and try my best not to go back to the old habits of pushing chest to the high notes.
You don't really sing 'forward' - it's more that you're bright at the same time; there's more than one sound going on at the same time. One sounds 'forward' and the other is the vowel resonating in the back.
I eat plenty of beef but my bowel movements are not clench down difficult. Seriously though I love CL (the guy I think you're referencing), but that is one of his less helpful tips.
It's currently unclear to me also - I haven't been given an explanation as to what has happened, the channel (actually, whole google acount) was actively removed. Google deny it was hacked, but obviously, this is the only thing that I'm thinking. They either removed it themselves (they've refused to reinstate it), or someone has nefariously removed the channel without my knowledge. I'd like to move forward, but, it's definitely been a stressful and uncertain time for the studio. Best - K
Yes, plus also to get away from pronunciation - if you move a sound like AY into the back it basically HAS to become EH to resonate in that space. The diagonal shift is kindof "poor mans vowel modification" so to speak ha. Best - K
Do we bridge/mix our voice on or before the vocal break? I can reach e4 on my chest but kinda straining. I wonder if I need to mix/bridge my voice somewhere around c#4 or d4 to stop staining? Thank you in advance.
Depending on your voice, the E4 is likely dead-centre in your voice, and your 'breaks' are really a few tones either side of this range - maybe D4 and G4 give or take? Yes, in my book it's always below and into the note so the frequency shift is seamless instead of slamming into a new vowel or dragging where it isn't necessary. It really depends on the why - if you're using a cry tone from the E4 this will likely get you out of the mud, but if your vowel is super wide the whole way through you'll splat - so, try a more narrow setup for your vowel (put your fingers in your cheeks like people do for liptrills) and think IH/OE on either vowel. There's also the obvious answer of supporting correctly, but I'll assume you've tried what I suggested in the video of supporting OUTWARDS from the ribs instead of clenching. Let me know how it goes - K

4.7 billion times😂🤘
Great content. Also i want to hear more about placements and singing bright, can you make a video about that?
I support you, man. Hope you're doing well. Will be watching all your vids here
No way! Am I missing something here?! Why would this get you cancelled!? Keep it up Keegan, your videos have made a world of difference to me!

Hey man! Sorry about ur channel…makes no sense…but glad ur here and ready to rock🔥💯

I hear you - it's something you have to play with. Can you make a falsetto high sound in the back of your head, kind of like an owl "hOOOOt"? This is a good starting point.
This is a great overview of singing! Question: how do we focus on ‘diagonal and back’ and forward placement at the same time?

So, what was the vid that got you cancelled? Couldn't find it in the email. Unless you were referring to this very video. :)
I eat plenty of beef but my bowel movements are not clench down difficult.
Seriously though I love CL (the guy I think you're referencing), but that is one of his less helpful tips.
It's advice that people who don't sing their vowels correctly give - it's not directed at Chris, I think he's great. Best - K
Why was his old channels cancelled?
What am I missing?
