    Yes you can develop a higher mix over time as your voice becomes stronger. I have some students that can "belt mix" to C#5 but average is around the B4-C5 if you work really hard at it.

  • @kaa1135

    One of the best demonstrations of connected head voice I've seen done acapella. This is a very basic hallmark of a skilled teacher of voice. They can actually show you via their own singing voice, that the results you are looking for, are possible to achieve! Kevin has that slam dunk!
    The Big Plus with Kevin Richards is, he holds your attention with great teaching skills, his teaching style is very concise, yet relaxed, second nature. Kevin consistently delivers (in his instruction/guidance) valuable "gems" of insight in the quest to achieve exceptional singing! Thanks Kevin!

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +1

    Sure he does. You are thinking they are two separate things; they are not. A "belt" is essentially a mixed note. You are mixing chest & head resonance to create a very full higher note outside of pure chest voice. Check out my demo of "Children of the Damned" where I am belting a high mix.
    Kiske and Halford are not "heavy mass" belters like Dickinson. Both of them bridged early - which is why both of them have trouble in their belt or call ranges today.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +2

    Bruce is NOT training with SLS teachers - I can tell you that firsthand. In fact he doesn't train with anyone at all. He is simply using the training he had many years ago to maintain his voice. He has learned over the years how to sing the older Maiden stuff differently than he did in the 80's. He tried using his "studio voice" on stage and it didn't work. By the time they got to "Powerslave" he had figured out how to sing with them live with a "stage voice" which is thinner but still full.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +1

    Yes we are - we are talking both voice function (cord closure) and resonance. They go together. Chest resonance only goes so high in the vocal tract until it HAS to ascend into the mouth and then head. You cannot stop it - it is acoustical science.
    The thicker you make the cords and the lower you keep the resonance space the chestier your lower head resonance sounds. That is what you are doing. It "feels" like chest voice but based on science you're in lower head resonance.

    I didn't always have a loud voice - quite the opposite. I was shy and very quiet person until my 20's when I started singing in bands. I HAD to develop a louder voice and bigger personality to talk to a crowd.
    "Loudness" is both perceived and actual. Something can sound loud but not actually be loud. Volume is just more air through the voice.

    I get these posts every now and then from people that have just been too lazy to learn how to sing correctly so they've been stuck in their chest voice they're whole lives. So they just chalk it up to "I guess you're born with it". Its part ignorance and laziness.

    • @madmonk80
      @madmonk80 6 лет назад +2

      I understand that with technique and exercise one can improve his/her voice. But it is a matter of fact that one is born with a certain "range of notes", which still can be improved but to a certain limit. That's why they call them tenors or sopranos, etc... The assumption that everyone could sing along Dickinson is therefore false.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +1

    One is NEVER too old. SLS is a great head start in certain respects. I wouldn't say you were "misled" by SLS, it perhaps just wasn't the sound or approach that's best for you.
    Appoggio singing seeks to eliminate placements by allowing "natural placement" of the sound by thinking of the voice as "one register" - but I do find thinking of certain placements helps beginner singers target their resonances correctly.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +6

    Again you confusing sound with science. Bruce can make his lower head voice sound like belty chest voice but the resonance frequencies are tuned in head. It is physically impossible to sing a High D in throat resonance. The physiology within the vocal tract does not allow it.
    You can achieve a "chest like" or a "heady" sound based on mass onsets and throat shaping, but the formant is still in head resonance. You do each variation in your song but they are both technically still head resonance.

  • @selinschoenbeck
    @selinschoenbeck 11 лет назад +1

    maybe belting is the wrong term, but he uses pure chest voice. Singers with a lower chest voice-range (like you) have to blend to head voice and it can sound nearly as chest voice. But Dickinson (and me too) can sing higher with chest voice, maybe high c or d or even e(Tobias Sammet). If i'm in a good shape, I can reach the high d with pure chest voice(And even higher with blended head voice) Maybe I'll do a demonstration video.
    Very interesting conversation by the way :)

  • @TotalSinging

      Rock the Stage NYC If you are referring to Ken, his RUclips channel is merely a way to advertise his website/courses. No one would buy his dvds/register for courses if he just released them as free RUclips content. With just RUclips he'd have barely enough money to run an academy and pay the bills. And he does have quite a few helpful videos, but they aren't any of his how to sing videos. He recently released one on glottal compression, where he scratches the surface and shows you what to expect from his course.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  12 лет назад +1

    the bands you cite don't sing anywhere near as high nor write vocal melodies in the higher keys of metal or hard rock bands. The vocals are keyed progressively higher in hard rock/metal bands.
    The singers from those bands are also singing at the end of their ranges and belting so they sound a bit fuller. Metal singers tend to sing higher and so need to lighten the load a little to be able to blend into the extreme high ranges over D5.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +2

    Look at my main channel page and start with the "Mixed Voice" videos especially the one "Classical vs Speech Level Singing" as that explains a lot about open throat technique.
    If trained properly you will not lose your voice with age, in fact it will get stronger just like Bruce Dickinson's has

    Most lose their voices because they simply get lazy - it's the headliner syndrome. They'll pay to see me not matter what shape I'm in, how I sing etc. Geoff Tate was a prime example of that. Just didn't give a shit anymore.
    Halford is the same - resting on his success, Halford's last great tour vocally was Painkiller.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +1

    Possibly but there's no way to know. Basic breath support and appoggio are slightly different things. Yes playing the trumpet would have given him an advantage in using good support BUT that doesn't explain his excellent use of dark tone and open throat technique - that has to be practiced.
    For most Rock & Metal musicians, its not "cool" to admit you've had vocal lessons, it makes you seem less "raw". But most of them have had lessons somewhere in their careers.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  10 лет назад +4

    It is because Bruce has a high male voice - higher than most metal singers (higher than Dio and Halford speaking voices) so his high notes still sound like his chest voice.
    Lower voice males like me need to add more "cry" or pharyngeal sound to the notes to just sing them. It is just down to anatomy and the size of our vocal cords. Bruce's are longer (higher) and mine are shorter (lower).

    • @Helion24
      @Helion24 6 лет назад

      In my opinion that is totally not true. There are a lot of high-baritone singers, including B.Dickinson, who can sing thick highs with technique. Of course B.Dickinson is not the best example for this as his technique is not flawless, he sings rather instinctive. So no, B.Dickinson is not a high voice person. But that is singing all about. To make the "cry"-like tone disappear from the highs you have to learn better technique, use more head voice in the mix voice. This is not the privilege of tenors. Singing is all about learning and practicing how to make your tone sound powered but float easily in any height of your range. To eliminate all the struggling/suffering-like tones. Anyway, your video is good, and I think you have a good voice. But hey, one can always learn more to be better. If there is cry-like/suffering-like tone in ones highs, that IS BECAUSE OF BAD TECHNIQUE. That's the truth.

    I sang this without a pitch reference. I'm only a half step lower than the recording. Bruce never really sang with full on head voice - even in 1982 - it was always a mixed sound. Having a high speaking voice Bruce is able to mix is resonance up very high to where his head resonance sounds full and just like his lower notes. BUT its an auditory illusion - he is still in head resonance but is using a thicker phonation at the vocal cords.

    • @CameronSchubertMusic
      @CameronSchubertMusic 4 года назад

      This comment literally just triggered a EUREKA moment for me. I was trying to sing along with you, and I just couldn't get the high notes without thinning out and sounding really wimpy. I even read about vowel shapes and tried to change them to be more resonant with some success. But it wasn't until I read this comment that I thought to actually just focus literally on the sensation of the vibration and try to find out where it 'tingles' the most. My felt my upper notes disappear into my throat!!! Then I tried to see what I could do to place those mixed notes so the vibrating sensation was in the very top top of my open throat and my nose, and OILA!!!! I feel a world's difference, and like I just went over a hurdle. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

  • @TotalSinging

    No, because of physics and acoustics your throat resonance will always be in the same range but you can extend the "sound" of your lower resonance farther into your upper resonance through mixing and compression.

    My question would be is: what does your lower voice sound like? is it balanced? is it strong and resonant? Too many singers are too concentrated with singing high notes when they have very under developed lower and middle ranges.
    My next video is going to be on why singers fail to develop high notes effectively... watch for it.

    Your confused about a few things in regards to the functions of vocal cord pressure, formants and resonance and how the science works. You are describing sensations you experience - what I am saying is a lot of that are illusions. What you feel and hear is NOT exactly what is happening internally.
    "Higher chest voice" does not exist. Based on the science of acoustics and frequencies once you pass a certain frequency the resonance MUST rise. You cannot stop it. If you tried you'd choke.

    You are confusing your physical sensation with what is actually happening in resonance and frequency. Internally you may feel like you are singing that D5 at 1:20 in chest voice because you feel a very strong connection and pressure at the vocal cords but the frequency is STILL in head resonance. Based on science it HAS to be. If it was actual chest voice you'd be screaming.
    Your second D5 is a lighter mass phonation because you are connecting it notes higher that MUST be in head resonance.

    You have a great voice but you are confusing what you are hearing and feeling with what is happening on a scientific level. Your very chesty D5 is low head resonance mixing with mouth resonance. Unless you're a male soprano scientifically thats the way it has to be.

    It would all depend on your level of singing right now. Ken's program has beginner, intermediate and advanced level? Robert's kind of jumps right into more intermediate level techniques. It's also down to how much information you want - if you're a technique junky than Robert's is for you - if not then Ken's is more your speed.
    Of course I would recommend my own over both - not only in simplicity, variety but also price. Ken/Robert are around $200 mine is $75.

    The head voice is a totally different thing. Your explanation of how to sing like bruce is fine for people who have not that chest-range. But Bruce actually don't switch to head-voice. He don't have to blend actively or even don't have to practice this. The only thing if he wouldn't practice it is, that his voice would be broken after a view minutes, respectively he couldn't reach the high notes after a view minutes/seconds, as you can hear on life after death.

What surprises me more is how he recorded a whole record with the beginnings of throat cancer without hurting his voice and he wasnt aware of it until he caught up with it on google . I am glad that he got it early so he didnt need to have extensive surgery on his throat .

      Which doesn't seem fair, since I feel like it must be more difficult for chicks to hit a C6 in a full, strong voice than it is for males to hit the C5.

    • @DenniWintyr
      @DenniWintyr 7 лет назад +4

      Selrisitai Agreed, since the female voice is, on average, a fifth above a male voice, not a whole octave

      I suppose this would explain why I so seldom hear, even in professional music, a woman who sings in a full, strong voice who can hit good, powerful high notes, say, the F5.

    • @DenniWintyr
      @DenniWintyr 7 лет назад +2

      Selrisitai The highest I've used in my actual recordings is an A5 (I can hit a C6 on a good day), but that's in a reinforced head voice, which is fine for Halford/Gillain/Plant style screaming, but not for the bulk of my singing, as I'm still working on blending the tone of the two.
      Dio managed to sit comfortably around B4 (& up to D5) in full voice in Rainbow in the Dark, and most girls I know, me included can't hit that comfortably without switching registers.

    Thank you so much for this video. Bruce is a favorite of mine. Also, I just had an audition as an Iron Maiden tribute frontman, and got invited back, but am under some typical Bruce notes by about a 5th when I try to belt (like the D at the top of El Dorado chorus). The band is ok with me adjusting melodies, but I'd like to be as faithful to Bruce's work as possible. This video gives me the most hope of anything I've come across. Even though my voice is still kinda shot from that audition two days ago, I tried Run to the Hills chorus using chest and head and could do it! Didn't sound very powerful, but it's a start! Looking in to the course you mention at the end of the video. Thank you!

    Live After Death is the tour Bruce figured out he can't sing the way he wanted to. Starting with "Somewhere in Time" he started to figure out how to sing live and maintain a good show. The first two full tours "Piece of Mind" and "Powerslave" were the tours he didn't sound great on. As the years went on he got better at doing shows and learned how to carry a 2 hour show every night for a year. Its very tough.
    I think his duties as the bands tour pilot has done him good. He has to stay sober.

  • @selinschoenbeck
    @selinschoenbeck 11 лет назад

    okay, but resonance is not voice-function. high chest-voice has the same voice-adjustment as lower tones. The only thing I have to do is to sing higher, maybe with more pressure. If I choose more head or nose or chest resonance has nothing to do with the function. Maybe there is naturally more head resonance at the high tones.

  • @Thomasoekland1
    @Thomasoekland1 6 лет назад +1

    How about Eric Adams from manowar - he still got the power and beautifull tone.. when i compare him to bruce, bruce belts higher (up to d5 live) but it sounds like he is struggling a lot. Eric did belt out his high C on the farvell tour like it was the easyest thing in the world, and he still screams up to about g5 for the time beeing...

    Thanks.. All the best, Marc

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +3

    Dio didn't warm up either but he always sang within his comfort zone. Dio's voice needed little prep but his lack of maintenance started to show in the 90's. Tyler nearly destroyed his voice in the 70's and early 80's but he went to a great vocal coach in Boston and one in NYC and saved his voice. He was never the greatest live singer anyway but he's far better now than in 1984 or even 1994.

    You really are a low baritone? I am too and I'm 6 months in training, but even though I've extended my range, I never thought I would ever get to Bruce's notes..Do you think I should wait, say another few years of practice and coaching before I attempt this?

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +1

    I'm talking about Priest. the "Fight" material was less challenging than the Priest catalog. I saw the first "Fight" tour in '93-'94 and Halford was on fire and his tours with "Halford" were good too but once he got back on Priest he just gave up as a live vocalist.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад +1

    To about an F4 - then I must start mixing toward the sinus cavities to blend to the upper resonances. I have a lower voice than most Rock singers so my throat resonance (chest voice) ends earlier than say a high baritone.
    I got to an A4 pretty quickly by accident - singing along to Roth-era Van Halen helped a lot since Roth belted a lot to A4.

  • @corporacionmonstruo
    @corporacionmonstruo 12 лет назад

    01:20 it´s that beacause normal changes in voice with age or comes with damage to the vocal chords? at wich age do you think those changes start ?

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  12 лет назад

    there is no set age for loss of range or power. Many factors can contribute to it in addition to lack of vocal cord muscle strength development - smoking, alcohol, drugs etc. and just hours of use. Night after night shows for 25 years takes a toll if you don't maintain an instrument.
    Geoff Tate lost his from sheer lack of use, smoking and alcohol.
    Mark Slaughter lost his from lack of use and practice.
    David Coverdale lost it from smoking, drinking and a little bit of age.

  • @Razekiel

    I'm 49 yrs old, is it to late for me to master this belting range? I have bruces tone when I sing in his range, I'm real close, I just need little more time working in this belt range, I been training lately, just never spent alot of time in this range,

    • @TotalSinging
      @TotalSinging  5 лет назад

      Hello. No is not too late. The reason you have difficulty is precisely because you haven't spend a lot of time training in this range. To be able to belt in this range, you must develop a strong High B (the B just below male high C or a B4 on a piano). That B4 is Bruce's sweet spot - a note he sings often and with great ease.

  • @TotalSinging
    @TotalSinging  11 лет назад

    Lou probably sought some type of training once Foreigner hit their stride and were headlining long tours; without a clear plan to maintain your voice, that kind of use will take its toll. Lou probably felt his voice wasn't holding up night after night so he sought some instruction on keeping it strong night after night.
    His sound and ability were already there - he just didn't know how to keep it going night after night for months on end living out of a suitcase.

    Enjoyed this, great hearing musically literate people! Strong 'belt register' preserves upper full voice range...
    I can sort of fake some of D's singing but realized long ago that the control and formation of clear notes is much bigger than 'forcing' that B4 5th note each time. All that to say I have much respect for a craft that's... beyond me.

    • @TotalSinging
      @TotalSinging  10 лет назад +3

      HELL F'ING NO! In fact its better at that age because your voice has matured to a point that what you learn will stick with you for a long time. Younger voices are still maturing, so strides they make will need to be re-established over the years as their voice matures. Plus at 33 you don't think you know it all or need it all perfect by tomorrow. Look me up. I do skype lessons.

    After seeing your videos and reading the comments I did come to re discover and appreciate even more some things about singing and about me and about other singers and people who know or even are very curious and want instruction about how singinging works and lives inside certain individuals. Everyone has a voice to sing and can learn to sing and very well and properly trained . Also not everyone will sound good to anyone but themselves even with all of the knowledge and ability they possess within the craft . If my last statement were false then every vocal teacher with just a pinch of vocal training enough to tell others what they lack vocally and so be admired would be the frontman/woman of a band making money and achieve superstardom. Not least of all you. One thing that is essential , that one needs to have can only be what the Pied Piper of Hamelin had . What the Sirens had to lure men and ships hypnotically to their doom. Basically to their audience they sounded damn good. Sounding damn good and knowing exactly how to sound damn good are things few have both of. Let that sink in...

I always use only my vocal cords ( especially for the high notes ). How to sing without injuries and get high notes without "fake " voice ?

    So here is the REAL question: Listen to Sum 41, Bowling for Soup, Linkin Park or any "pop-rock" band like that, especially Dexter Holland from the Offspring Now, notice that unlike metal or Hard rock singers, their voices maintain almost the exact timbre from chest to head voice. HOW DO THEY DO THAT? Is it wrong singing, or is it because of the grit they add to their upper ranges?
