    This channel is the first ive seen focus on a nice, open, sound. I really have been taught so wrong and my voice has suffered from my teachers.

    These conversations about technique are so illuminating, and make me more aware of what I do. As a young Bass/Bari I kind of thought I only had one mode for singing above about an F. But this has opened up new exciting colours at the top, so thank you!

    Thanks for the great video! What do you aim for doing mentally/physically in order to crescendo your soft high notes into louder high notes?

  • @pierrebeukes6315
    @pierrebeukes6315 2 года назад +2

    If your voice is well practiced and you know how to access the vocalis muscle you can start in "falsetto" and go in to "fully connected voice" without a break on the same pitch. The vocalis muscle is the magic wand. It is the only muscle that can stay active from low to high even through the cricothyroid muscle tilt. The lower you go the more voice surface connection is needed the more you open the vocaal ligament through the vocalis muscle. The higher you go the less voice surface is needed, the thinner you draw the vocal ligament through the vocalis muscle which lays intrinsit to the vocal ligament .

      hmmmmm so how do you "feel" the vocal ligament? What is the actual feeling?

    I love your videos!! Could you the two of you do a video about the messa di voce exercice that you spoke about in 20:50 / 21:06 ? I would be interessted in what you feel while doing the crescendo and what your body does and what you do to not get heavy/fat/rigid and keeping the airflow (especially in high notes).
    I'd also be interessted in a video about support and taking breath (how much air you take or if you think more of a release after you blown out the air)! For a long I had a too stiff and deep pressed diaphragm and I realized that when I let it work more freely I'm able to have a lighter onset. I love Normans idea of "breath->sing/boom"! That help me a lot, but I'd love to know more about how you (are letting) engage the body (especially in the passaggio or upper register).

    Men also have whistle voice it begins on the A-flat just below C5. Leggiero tenors sing in whistle the male voice register. It sound like a very strong falsetto en over 3 years one work it slowly until the entire range from bottom to the top has the same vocal collour more or less.

    I can do both separate sounds, but how do you transition from one to the other?, In my case it brakes and crackle like and end up pushing

    If I just discovered how to sing over passagio in that "tube" in the back of my head. When I'm developing it. Will is sound a little more airy. Also. If I feel a change around F, F# to G. Will the head voice sound "heady" before it gets stronger?

    • @LivingOpera
      @LivingOpera  4 года назад

      Hmmm I think that's pretty normal until the connection with the speaking range to the passaggio is is fully worked out. Feeling a change at F-G is super normal - sopranos and tenors both feel the change there. Sounds like you're on a good track!

    Hello Sir, I Have A Question - How Can I Sing "Uh" Vowel Like The Word "Amoeba", Without Cracking Or Tightening My Larynx, I Always Crack On "Uh" Vowel As I Go In The Higher Notes, I Use The Same Breath Support As It Is Mentioned In The Video, Can You Please Explain.
    Thank You

    • @LivingOpera
      @LivingOpera  4 года назад +1

      Hi there, thanks for your question! It's hard for me to answer without hearing you, but usually any tightening or cracking comes with there is something off in the breath support. I saw this as someone who has cracked many times, haha.
      What often works is imagining a darker vowel sound - going from "AH" to "AW" - try that and see if something changes.

    • @LornaKellyZim
      @LornaKellyZim Год назад

      Your tongue should form a high arch for the top notes with the hump close to the soft palate....but open throat at the back

  • @nicojames561
    @nicojames561 3 года назад

    What do you do if your setup is great-breath, support, lifted soft palette, etc-but you have NO falsetto let alone head voice. Like...there is nothing there. And whatever the awful, quiet sound there is...it’s uncoordinated and uncontrollable. How do I build/strengthen it to the point I can sing in head voice like you do at 19:20?

    • @qwarlockz8017
      @qwarlockz8017 2 года назад

      Falsetto is just singing on the edge of the cords. It is different than full voice or mixed voice. It is sort of like hitting harmonics on a guitar string. I would def start quiet with no weight. Finding that falsetto sound is important since it really leads you to a real powerful reasonance.

  • @Tye_silvertenor
    @Tye_silvertenor 2 года назад +4

    I think it’s funny how the soprano says “who describe it because you have a better faculty for it” but in typical soprano fashion she attempts to upstage/overtalk the tenor as he’s giving good detailed information

    • @LornaKellyZim
      @LornaKellyZim Год назад

      I do find the soprano annoying. She continually interrupts him and I would rather he did the videos on his own. She can do her own talking on her own channel. But both singers are amazing really.
