Bro.. You're just so underrated.. I'm working on my high range right now, and you're the Most to the point voice teacher I've found come across on RUclips..
I'm always looking for vocal exercise videos, and I have to say this is the best I've seen so far. I hit my best B5 just applying what you explained about the tongue and I realized I tent to lift it up, which is absolutely making me strain my vocal chords. Thank you so much!!!
I wish I can hit a C5 one day jajajajaja.... Ima G4 - Bb4 open mouth full voice. I have some videos of Luis Miguel at age 16 hitting alive C6 D6 Eb6 E6 F6 with much power vibrato alive concerts.
You're a stupendous teacher! I mean really great, indeed. Your sound, in the entirety of the video, is much much closer to the old way of singing without amplification, the operatic way of producing sound. Not the weird unsupported sound 99% of the current classical singers do, but the great chesty tones of yore. Thank you very much for such a great demonstration of good vocal technique. If you were to venture into opera I'm sure you would sound amazing as well.
Please make another direct "how to find flageolet" video for me. I am a tenor and I can hit a D#5 on full head voice (no falsetto), but I cannot go beyond that note. I believe I will be able to hit those super high notes once I find the flageolet. Please help me out, Alex!
@@AlexShelestVocalLessons Ok kk! Please tell me where and how to start. My exams will end on the 17th of October, '21 and I'm planning on resuming vocal training as soon as college closes.
I can do chesty-mix up to *A5* after that I flip into heady-mix up to *C6* and headvoice up to *E6* and then whistle up to *B6* but I'ma natural a #malesoprano or #sopranist i grew up listening to Mariah Whitney Aretha etc and always would mimic them
OMG thank you sooooooooooooo much man, I start playing with my head voice like in the beginning of the video for the warm up, then my voice start to automatically comfortable with the mix voice, but it max out at E5. F5 kinda weak, i will keep practicing 😁 I used to shout to "feel" the mix voice, but now i discover that practicing head voice solve that
Hi Alex, I can do the flageolet register but only in light mode and medium mode with operatic soprano style. What can I do to sound like you do in the video?
Practice slides 3 tone, 5 tone and octave! Quack, support, place, compress! Also, we can do a skype lesson, and create special training routine for you!
Thank you for this tutorial Alex! Beautiful control and voice! Just one simple question, when you go high , you think downwards? or up? UPDATE: the "oh holly spoon'' made me realize I have full voice notes I did not even think they were possible for my register to hit. I stopped at G5! I am beyond words lol, I didn't want to keep going higher as my technique is based on pushing, which is BAD, but I will re -visit your video almost every day! Thanks again!!!
Hi m a singer & I can only can reach till B5 (in mixed voice, no falsetto) for C 6 I need more practice. M looking for practice videos on 6th octave. Or does soprano vocal practice will do? If anyone has any idea on how to practice those range pliz advise. Bydway, Bro u r really underrated. U hv great vocal range. Doing C6 so easily like it’s nothing. Hats off 🤘🔥
Thanks for these words 🙏 U should thin out the folds more to sing that high. Remember, vocal fry is a great tool in connecting to your super high range!👊🏻😈🎙️
Hi Alex I've got a question: I recently found my "mixed" voice (pure head voice also 80% sure), and I discovered this mixed voice feeling with the same vocal fry thing you talked about. But the pure head voice eventually hits a roof (an E5 earlier today, still experimenting). Do I add even MORE of the vocal fry tension to my cords in order to break through my 3rd passagio?
Great demonstration, is actually applicable to mix also along with train ear after months of practice daily. The concept is your fry as the base to connect to disconnected registers as beginners, you notice only if you record yourself and spot only bad habit by your train ear or teacher. Summary: The way chest voice we perform (throat placement) in our mind must be same to other registers so can be connected as what internet called supported singing.
Dear sir.. I have been practicing this for 1.5 years.. I couldn't sing this before.. Now I can.. but that power you have shown.. that power has not been coming.. my flageolet is very thin.. what to do ?? Please inform me sir
One more thing.. sir my mix voice is very poor.. means I never concentrated on those notes.. so is there any connection between mix and flageolet ?? If I develop my mix.. so will it be easy to sing flageolet?? Sir please inform me.. actually there is no one to guid me on this topic.. my head voice is strong..
Sir.. how may I develop my fry.. I can reach upto E6 through my inhale fry support.. but while trying to do flageolet through my exhale fry support.. I can reach upto F5 very hardly.. please explain sir..
@sandipanbose4639 When you're inhaling - you're opening the throat : larynx is lower, soft palate is more raised. When you're exhaling - probably, you're closing the throat, and that's why it's difficult to go higher 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Alex, great video! I'm trying to develop my voice above the third passaggio and I can do flageolet very well and hit very high notes like C6, but it has almost no volume and I can't just find a way to connect my head voice, which goes well until C#5, D5. When I try do pass that bridge, my voice goes from high volume and compressed to very low volume (as you did in the fry exercise) I tried the tips you gave in the video, but wasn't successful so far. Do you have any other hacks? Thanks and keep up the good work!
It's not gonna be so fast:) First of all, check your breathing and support! Then quack! Also use fry+release attack, you should not use to much weight in the upper range!) And don't forget about cry mechanism ☝🏻
@@AlexShelestVocalLessons thanks Alex! I’ll try to follow this. I have one more doubt: Could my issue have to do due to me being a belting student and singing in hard mode in the second passaggio? Because coming from the hard mode and trying to blend with my flageolet (which is a complete different placement in the throat) just doesn’t feel right for me.. thanks and all the best!
@@LucasSkywalkerGames Try to develop pharyngeal resonance : it will balance your voice, so you'll be able to use belt and lighter modes in your singing 🤟🏻
Hii I actually have flageolet from D5 et B5 and I wonder how I can blend it with my headvoice because I feel like I have a very sudden shift when I go to flageolet ? And how do I lower my larynx whe nin flageolet because it's hard!
Hey, for sure! You need to learn how to thin out the folds! Than you’ll be able to add more weight to the sound. Mezza voce head voice setup will help!
You're probably using the wrong vocal modes. More specifically, singing exclusively in Overdrive. Overdrive is one of the possible four vocal modes of the voice (like the gears of a car, for example), the loudest and heaviest one. Is your mix very loud and heavy? Then that might be the case. The reason why you might not be able to go above C5 is because Overdrive mechanics are impossible above C5. Search Google for CVT (Complete Vocal Technique), I'm sure you'll find the answers to a lot of your singing problems.
Trust me, it solved a LOT of my vocal problems, and the rest of them is gradually disappearing as I develop my technique. Sadly, there's not much material in English for CVT on YT. But there's a few channels talking bout it, like Gregory West, for example.
Hello bro, please help me, I want to learn how to sing higher and sing with more head voice ratio in my mix. I can do flageolet but I don't know how to mix it with my chest voice, I also don't know how to thin my vocal folds. Please teach me bro plsss.
Wow... That's awesome!!! I've once hit C6 but only lasted less than 1 second hahaha... I have couple of question. 1. What was your highest note before doing any vocal training or practice? 2. I'm 39 years old now. My highest falsetto only B4 same as my flageolet. Full voice can achieve A5 but lasted only for 4 second. Can I still have higher note on my flageolet like you? Thanks
Hey! Actually i can't remember, i was strenthening my range step by step:) Sure you can sing higher with more freedom! I can teach you! Reach me via : alexahellest@gmail.com and let's schedule a classes!
You are Amazing, Best of Luck. I have problems to access that Register, i feel a roof and probably i try many times and i think im doing something wrong because i feel some tension inside the throat. i know people that can do it easy but not me. I do the Other Day Db6 in Full Voice for First time With no tension in Light Mode, but is to Loud to my Taste, i wanna do it more Softly. Any Tip for this?
I think I have the basic flageolet, I can't figure out how to give it full voice projection? ruclips.net/user/shortsj-baAjSaz4U?si=HU3onVcQ-64-e38R tell me how close I am and from here what should I do?
I have a problem, i cant do a breathy falsetto, i started singing classes two months ago, and my head voice is so powerful, strong as hell , to the point to be listened in a 100 meter range 😂, i cant do that breathy sweet falsetto 💔
Falsetto can go higher than C6. But usually if you want to go higher, you can sing in Flageolet. It’s a register between head voice/falsetto and whistle register.
how much of "support" is required for this? I notice I need more tension for head voice compared to chest, I suspect this one requires even more core muscles engagement? also, do you do online vocal lessons?
The problem is that I have a full and good quality very high voice with some tension. I used to turn my head to the right and contract the digastric muscle exponentially. If I wanna sing very light like your second sound it simply doesn’t work especially in the range above B4.
@@AlexShelestVocalLessons I know but I’ve been singing in a very high range from the start and my tone quality has became very natural but I can feel a rising tension in the range D5-B5. It always starts from Bb4/B4 and when I try to sing very light I can’t go higher than C5.
Give me sound proof room for 1 year i promise i can do anything in singing 😂😂😂 when i do high mix voice like g5 ,a5 my mom beats me so hard and say why are u screaming and when i do flageolet head voice like c6 and d6 all my homies say why are doing dog crying 😭😭😭😭 wtf man i need personal sound proof room
Dude, the first thing before you teach how to do the high notes, you have to teach how to put the spoon in your mouth on the soft palate without feeling nauseous because you can't even start doing the exercises because the nausea comes quickly hahaha😂
