Here is a lesson on accessing your head voice and strengthening this register of the voice. The male head voice tends to be weak since it makes up only one third of the male voice. I offer two exercises that help strengthen head voice and give the voice release and freedom.

thank God for ppl like you
Why this channel so underrated? keep up..
Singing is like bodybuilding,to "look" good you gotta work on the voice until those muscles get to work as you want them to.
Yeah that's true!
Everyone on yt talks head voice but this your video really help me finally get in the head voice. Thanks so much.
That's awesome. So glad to hear it!
Excellent video Adam. A very important distinction...
Thanks Phil, you're awesome.
Great video. Am watching your videos from today, 5 years later, and can really hear how much better your speaking voice sounds these days
Wow nostalgic!!!!! You look so young ohhh boy.
Thank you so much for this video, my head voice has improved thanks to you and this tutorial, I think this is the only tutorial that actually strengthened my head voice.I was also wondering if you had a chance to answer a question I have if you see this comment...... that question is how do I go through most of my range seamlessly, you see I reach a point where I create no sound and it's just air, I reconnect a few notes higher past that point. I've managed to do this before (it's just my consistency).Once again, thanks so much for this video : )
Hey Kaneki Amano
Thank you for your question. That is definitely a common issue for many singers, including myself when I first started out. When you reach that point where only air comes out, make sure you don't push any harder to produce sound. Just slow down the slide and when your voice comes back a few notes higher, slowly lower the pitch and try to stretch the parts where sound comes out so that you create a bridge over that empty space. The more you do it patiently ALLOWING the sound to come out, the more consistently you will be able to seamlessly sing from the bottom of your range to the top.
Thank you soooo much for the super quick reply :D
You are so thoughtful in your exercises and EXPLANATIONS. Afters 5 years of private and group voice lessons, I finally have hope that I'll be able to get a similar sound from my chest to my head. Teachers always say that I "just" need to get my voice forward, but without strategies or ways to think about how other than "me, me, me and think forward" and then have left it to me to figure it out. I'm at the end of another semester of a college singing class and have been in a sobbing panic that I had again not progressed enough. Until I found your video. I'm someone who needs to process things intellectually in order to do it. You're that guy. And I have hope!
Awesome illustration! I finally understand how the vocal cord works n vibrate by doing the woh exercise! Thanks a lot!
I want to thank you so much I’m a singer who is super comfortable in my chest voice, lows, agility, belts etc but I was struggling so much to properly differentiate my head voice from my falsetto. As of today I’m going to be referring to this video for practice because it has finally helped me understand! Again thank you so much.
best explanation and tutorial out there. thank you.
+Sirius Pham Thanks :)
well done Adam! Excellent training exercises! These sound weird folks yes yet, they will work, you will feel the "burn" when you perform them for 15 - 20 min or more! Results you are seeking will come with time. . . . 30-90 hours of correct practice!
Omg thank you so much sensei!! You just saved mme from giving up on my dream!! I love you man! Loads of love from here and wish you the best!
Like I'm sure that I can get to the 6th Octave but it is just whisper now. I didn't know how to make sounds in the upper head since I wanted to to learn whistle notes. I ended up straining my neck and throat a lot in the practice. It's been a week I've been patiently doing this exercise you mentioned before watching this video. Like I felt it would be the natural thing to do. But I was quite disappointed because I managed to get only 2 notes higher with no apparent strength in the sound I produce. So I thought maybe it just can't be done. Then I found your video ! I was more than happy to reckon the fact that I was doing the right stuff. But I guess I got a little hasty there today and was about to stop this practice! Thanks a lot sir! May you always be blessed!
Wow! thank you, I appreciate you sharing that. I am so glad the video was helpful for you
Thanks so much Adam!! Can't wait for the improvement :)
Go go go go whoa whoa whoa whoa! Thanks Adam, this looks very helpful. I just subscribed...trying to take care of my darkening baritone without losing the high end 😎
The second exercise has helped me to get to the thinnest coordination so I could hit G5 easily in a very thin tone though it's not consistent. But holding like C5 now is easier.
thanks for taking the time to make this.
No problem. Glad you found it useful!
You are incredible! Best lesson iv ever seen on RUclips ! Subscribe
Hey man I love the way you used an "o" to get the vocal fold ready then we can right then start to work with it. Very helpful exercise for anyone!
Adam this has been a tremendous lesson thanks a million.
this was a very great video. and the explanation was very very particular. I'm late to this video but I was wondering if you had or could you make a video of you just doing the two exercises starting from the low end and moving to the high end of each so that guys and girls alike could follow it and work on their progression?
Hey
I seems
To me that great singers like Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury sing with a certain technique where they direct there voice from the nasal cavity towards the diaphragm. Is a few success singing that way. Then I tried to sing by shooting down in an open throat to get more
Power with my band. I ended with a sore throat the next day instead. An you please
Comment on that. How do sound like this, sometime they sound like they spiting down in an open throat.
My Vocal range is from C3~F#5 and sometime C6~D#7 and my voice starts to crack at middle C and up
Nice! thanks for the tips! but mannnn around 3:18 I couldn't help but picture the sliding glass door scene from Ace Ventura Pet Detective! 😂
lol!
Your teachings are amazing
Hey man great lesson. I tend to get like a choking sensation or as I get up higher doing this or anything in head-voice and I can’t seem to figure out how to keep it relaxed. My main barrier to getting higher in my head seems to. Tension. Like singing in head seems to take more effort and air than singing a belt or like the same note in mix. I can’t seem to figure it out. I slowly feel like a frog in my throat as I get up into head.
Good exercise, thx🙂
I was about to do a search for a different video, but the sick beat at the beginning made it impossible for me to. Lol
How can I make sure I don’t hurt myself when practicing?
Would love a video on that
I love this channel !
This practice how it will apply when we sing for example iren Cara flashdance
I lile the exercise. 😂😂 don't know why.. Sounds like my puppy. He look at me doing this.. Nice exercise 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
you sound like you're gonna fall asleep any minute X'D
I have a pretty important question. So my range stops at Bb4 until I have to switch to falsetto. If these exercises are used consistently, are you saying that I could reach C5 or D5 eventually? Is this video suppose to take your head voice in higher range or is it just suppose to "strengthen" your current range?
Cody Lujan This video is meant to teach you how to extend and strengthen your head voice. If you work on the exercises given in this video you will notice an improvement in range extension and strength of tone. Hope that helps!
Do you have recommendations on blending into flagelote register using the vocal fry?
Is it ok if I feel the head voice in my forehead instead of above soft palate?
How to turn this light woh/goo excercise into a full sound. When I try to turn it into full voice it is either strained or falls back into falsetto.
Excellent thanks!!
You can tell he studied Talmud by the way he speaks sometimes
Btw I'm enjoying your content:)
These pitches are all in my chest register
so?
Do you want some applause?
Becouse you are female
I have neglected my nasal passages in the past, now I'm training to incorporate some of it so, should I be aware of not lifting my soft palate too much while practicing this excercises right?
can't make any sound when im on to a high pitch from the cracky sound
same
Adam, that is one of the best explanations I have seen in the topic of strengthening the head voice and conquering the passagio. Not only did you simplify it down to 2 exercises but you explained the science behind it in a lay mans language. Many thanks to you. I have a question though which I'm hoping you can answer. The vocal style that I wish to apply singing technique to is flamenco. I'm not sure if you have heard flamenco singing but it's kind of like the Spanish gypsy version of the Blues. Anyway, one thing I have noticed is that they (males) sing almost entirely in their head voice. However, the notes they hit in their head voice actually sound low when they are not. It's almost like they are dampening the brightness and clarity of the note. I can hit exactly the same note but it sounds nothing like theirs. My version of the note sounds very high and strong, but lack the thickness, chest unless and darkness of theirs. Do you know of any vocal drill where I can work on achieving this style of tonality?
+Raffster A if you want to learn flamenco, Camaron is the best. Although you will never be able to sound like him, you need the gypsy soul ;)
Thanks Chorisito. Camaron is a monster singer. It's kind of like saying that if you're starting out as an Opera singer, start with Pavarotti. Cigala is also hard. Their compas is crazy good and the filigrana in their voice hard to replicate for a beginner.
Hey Adam, I can do these edge excercises, but how to get the power for my head voice?
+svegalddo To do that you would have to move into a mix register where the head voice takes on more chest resonance. That is where the power is. I will cover mix in another video. Thanks
THNX
Helpful video, but what should a tenor do if he can't even the vocal fry to the head voice/falsetto move (around 10 minutes in your video), because only air comes out as soon as I get "up there"... I can get a forced/breathy tone if I go louder, but only air when I stay quiet.... or, tone at a low-ish pitch... I constantly struggle with my head voice frequently NOT THERE.... and I do good warmups, I drink tons of water, get plenty of sleep, and eat right/exercise. I don't know what to do differently. Thank you!
I feel like I'm going through puberty! Again.
Ok for some reason the sound just disappears as i go up on the wo .-. Its like my layrnx starts drooping and it gets throaty
You want to feel a buzz and presence of vibration in the bridge of your nose. If you keep the sound buzzing there, it will be impossible for it to become too throaty. Hope this helps
hey i have a question, my "goos" whenn in head voice sounds like "koos"...is this common or will this go away eventually??? or am i doing something wrong. please tell me
gud one thanks
how do u think what happens if i start speaking only in head voice for an experiment? will it give me damage or benefit?
Hello adam, can this help me sing higher when belting or when singing in a head mix dominant voice?
I can only do the fry in the morning.As the day goes on it just disappears?
This helps alot
i have difficulty with keeping my larynx in place and i dont know how to fix it. especially when you do the really high whistle notes like i cant reach that without feeling that pressure in the muscles above my collarbones, i think those muscles push my larynx but i have difficulty with keeping those relaxed. any tips/exercises/techniques?
Wow!
Thank you - very helpful. Subscribed for more :-)
Great explanation Bro :-), What exercise would you recommend to break in flat singing.
Viswanathan Subramanian can you clarify the question. You want to know how to not sing flat?
Adam Mishan Yep pretty much
while doing this exercise am i suppose to take air inside, because i found at as i do it i take air inside, please correct me if i'm doing it the wrong way... thanks
Hey, great video. It helped a lot. My only question is: should I practice the vocal fry woah exercise on a certain scale? It seems like I'm leaving parts of head voice out and going from chest voice to flageolet/whistle.
Oh, and it's not as powerful as yours either. Will that build over time?
Well, I have a question. I’m bass and I couldn’t sing higher than A5 but now I can hit E6. But I had lost my range do to strained. But I regained and started to be more aware but see here’s the issue. I can only access that E6 with a rest lanryx. Like I could stop talking for hour and be able to hit the note 📝 and I had to practice low lanryx excersise to keep it stable. So any advice and also I’m developing my mix so like I still have the break but my voice seems to transition to F4-A4 so The highest I can hit is B4 with strain but sometimes C5 but I don’t sing in until I fully devlope my mix. Because my voice is so deep that’s it doesn’t sound good singing the modern day songs. But I will love your help with my whistle register. Well headvoice hopefully once I master my mix than my range will come in.
hi Adam, when i do the whoa thing, i get really high but the highest notes are not usable in singing as they only work sometimes, unless the height I'm getting is one day part of my register for use???, its like a break (12:31), from a normal head voice to a super high head voice , can you use that voice with any power, just asking, and if so, do you have a demonstration
+MultiSnotface Those pitches are in whistle register. I do not exercise that part of my voice that often. Those notes will not take on the fullness that one can get in a mix voice.
MultiSnotface If you can or cant use tbe extreme high, you will at least be able some really high usable notes without any strain bc your voice will be so condtioned bc of practicing the exercises demonstrated for head voice!!!
I have concern,sometimes when I sing in karaoke when I started singing like slow rock like white lions when I continue a lot of that song After I cant sing falseto...it feels like related to the first set of songs that I choose...and then there are times that I can even sing the whole day and over night and the more I sing the more I can sing higher and higher feels like relax or something.....though I feel like im also not good falseto which a different concern hehehhe
It`s funny, I sound like falsetto in the highs but I can increase power so this is not falsetto. I`m confused. :D
it might be mixed voice
yea me too I can make it go higher and higher wtf is dis
@@frenchfries8892 thats a headvoice my friend, you are now accessing it before you know it
Most people think that headvoice is falsetto.
Do you have any tips on how to avoid going into falsetto while working on the head voice? I can get in the head voice but then I just got straight into falsetto. I have a very strong falsetto and my range is G2-E4(without falsetto)-G6(with falsetto), but I really wanna develop a better head voice. My falsetto can be very loud and is very strong flexible. But obviously it can't connect to my normal range because it is disconnected. I don't have any strain on my falsetto but do feel some when I try to go higher with chest and head voice. Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated?
What do I do when I used to practice my whistle register but my head voice I very airy and weak and most times it just cracks into a whistle. I really want my head voice back
Insane note height
It's very difficult for me to prevent my larynx from rising far up
woah
Please i have a very loud voice but
It get strain some times when i'm singing
What is the solution to it?
Could you sub that video by English for me to understand easily???
you seem to know so much about the voice! have you heard of Brett Manning and Singing Success? You are really spot-on with these explanations! Good luck: I thing you can make it big with this teaching method! :D
+AaronPulse Yes I've learnt a lot from Brett and his program
+Adam Mishan
keep up the good work, then! you absolutely add clarity with great longer descriptions to their perspective of singing. :)
+AaronPulse thank you!
What’s the best place to message you for advice? Facebook, email?
Hi! 😃 how do I know if I’m improving ?
Pianissimo edge exercise, fry to head voice.
3:13 reminds me a lot Ace Ventura, opening and closeing the door scene xD btw, great video, thank you
Are you wearing a yarmulke?
Yeah!
Sweet man!
I'm still really confused, because my falsetto goes so much higher and is so much brighter then my head, at least I think it's my head voice. I wonder if my falsetto is really my head voice and my head is just a light mix
Based on your description, you seem to have the terms backwards
Falsetto is the airy, unconnected high voice that is easy to acces but with little resonance. The head voice is connected and is fuller than falsetto, no.
+RAF Maes to properly answer your c
question I would have to hear clip of both and hear you attempting to go as high as you can in head voice and then in falsetto
well i'm a little to shy to show you, i have a very ugly voice. But i can only go to Bb5 in the head voice but the falsetto goes really high, but i'm also not sure if it becomes whistle register when it gets higher. head voice and falsetto with males are so complicated.
Also, thank you for responding.I thougd i would just be ignored.
I often hear about the shortcomings of falsetto singing and then wonder about the success of the Bee Gees.
Roman Blanks The Bee Gees actually use head voice primarily. They had a very unique style and killed it in the disco era!
Roman Blanks Its because Bee Gees seems to use falsetto occasionally stylistic purposes but most of the time he is in head voice using a light compression which my sound like falsetto.
oh I cant do it 9:27 😭😭
whoa dude calm down
When you do the "wowowowowow" exercise should your voice stay into head voice and not switch into falsetto?
Yes
Of course, not switch into falsetto
I thought head voice and falsetto is the same thing!!
I just dont know why i am watching this..
