This is a very good thing for all new singers to know... There are soo many young singers who don't get taught correctly and have no idea that singing high is NOT pushing your chest range as far as it can go.
I've studied voice for 20+ years with three different (and very good) teachers. But I've never heard any of them sum up the tenor's singing technique more succinctly and perfectly than this. I've been practicing the three simple things suggested in Christopher Jacklin's video, and they've worked wonders!! So there's no need to pay any mind to the crass, negative, know-it-alls who in actuality know nothing. Thanks for the on-line tutoring, Christopher. It's a free gift.
I was really having a bear of a time trying to navigate my passagio, but that close-up at 2:48 instantly resolved the issues I was having with my rising larynx! In case you guys didn't catch it, the key to singing high notes is to never blink. Granted, this can be a little awkward in your daily interactions (had a couple dates that didn't go well, me staring unblinking at a woman, her not understanding that I was simply modifying the third formant of my vocal tract to achieve imposta, quite pedestrian really...) But yes, maintaining a lifeless, penetrating gaze has helped my high notes immensely, and working at K-Mart I get a great discount on Clear-Eyes. Aside from some rather unjust restraining orders, I feel staring unflinchingly upon others has benefited me greatly!!
Join the club, man. I would LOVE to have a higher voice because it just cuts better in pop/rock songs. I have a baritone that is very wimpy and clean sounding. Think Casey Kasem without the resonance. So, I just sing in that area just above baritone and forsake trying to do anything high. I can't begin to touch anything in the high areas like F. Mercury, S. Perry, L. Gramm, and all the really awesome singers. But then, I'm more of a guitarist anyway.
As far as I know, a countertenor is a male singer who uses falsetto technique in order to sing with an alto register, so it's not their "natural" voice... and quite a lot of these countertenors are in fact baritones, like Andreas Scholl and Philippe Jaroussky... I hope this answers your question (I'm not a professional singer, nor a scholar, but I do love opera)
My voice used to sound like a bag of cats thrown into a woodchipper. But Thanks to this simple lesson from this professional opera singer and singing teacher, I now feel confident about my audition with the Dallas Opera next season.
You are correct in saying there is a limit. It is the length and thickness of your vocal cords. Common sense. A longer cord = deeper notes. a THICKER cord = deeper notes. The length and thickness is a natural limitation which is why you don't see soprano singers doing movie trailer voice over nor Don LaFontaine singing soprano opera parts. A guy that has a natural high voice promising to teach people to sing high... that's funny.
I mean if you sound like Barry White then *obviously* you won't be able to sing tenor. Most guys' voice are on the line between tenor and baritone, and I for one just recently discovered that my voice goes higher than I thought it did.
Male voices (especially young male voices) change ranges all the time. Last year I was auditioning for a production and I was singing as a Bass (by the request of the instructor) and could hit the entire operatic range with minimal stress. However, this year I joined my school choir, and the same instructor has placed me as a tenor. After that I explored the idea of being a tenor, and I can currently hit a high c, and I can still hit most of the bass notes (not very well though)
1- Omg the Mayan father god pfp thats a cultured one 2- im sorry i can go INSANELY high babes, all because i wanted to be a soprano as a child now im stuck in a pitchy talking voice and insane high range (and a decadent low register)
These are exactly the exercises my voice teacher taught me, and they work wonders. Still trying to sing Dalla sua pace, though. working on it. I'm a baritone too.
I Think the title of this video is misleading, you either are a tenor or not you can't train to become one. A more appropriate title would be "How to train your voice to sing high tones"
Thanks a lot for this - very informative and useful. It's sad that some folk feel they can be abusive just because you took time to create a video in order to help others. Keep up the good work. To the others: watch your language (it's offensive) and try a little respect.
I agree with your general sentiment. A bass or even a baritone will never produce the full balanced sound that a true tenor has in the G4+ range. However, that does not mean a bass/baritone cannot sing tenor notes in a satisfying way. That depends on the skill of the singer, and the style. Just look at Freddie Mercury. He could sing to F2, making him a firm baritone but his recordings go up to F5 and above, although anything above C5 was either very harsh or falsetto. Still a good use of voice.
trying to "downplay' the reality of difficulties one will face. 45 min is the BARE MINIMUM every day, until you eventually get it. I knew of this one Pro Vocalists who was successful with this, it took him three years, and he had TOP DOLLAR Vocal Coaches. Anyway that's my final take on that. Also you are the very first person to comment suggestively something slightly negative about my quote..
Wow, sounds like you must be highly talented. Can you please post a video i would love to see you hit all those ranges :) And are you in a chorus?? Or do you mostly do solo vocals? Or both? All I am saying is that it is VERY DIFFICULT to go from a bass to a tenor unless you already can naturally hit various ranges. I know of some professionals that have started at baritone and have moved up to tenor but that in it's self took them YEARS to master.
Michael jackson used to make his talking voice really high to be able to sing from a tenor to a high tenor so speaking with a higher voice might actually help
my friend who wants to help me regain my voice told me that my vocal range is now tenor rather than alto (Which I used to be before testosterone treatment) so I hope that this will be helpful for me I used to love singing now I can't even get to simple notes that used to be as natural as breathing to me so I'm basically back at square one in my practices
I'm a fairly decent tenor but one skill I DO have is the ability to distinguish "your" from "you're." It takes training and a decent recall of eighth grade grammar.
I appreciate it! I love singing, it just wasn't my calling. If anyone is reading this and is struggling trying to sing, it may not be your calling. However, you may be struggling with it even if it is your calling. Just make sure you love it.
You definitely aren't a baritone, dude. If you are, you're one convincing tenor. Your head voice has that classic tenor quality like that dancing ghost in Luigi's Mansion.
I sing both bass and tenor and have found that tenor is more interesting to sing in my opinion. As he says the key is to keep your throat relaxed. If this is done some can sing from bass to low soprano if you're like me.
Ok people, sorry, but here it is. As a true opera singer myself and hugely respected teacher in Miami, Fl. I can tell you he is doing this wrong. When you do the "ng" exercise and release as he says, you are supposed to release in the same space as the sound which he is not doing. He starts the ng sound up, but then releases the sound in his throat. Wrong! Its supposed to stay up in the head. Check me out, Novell Allen.
+Elder Toguro Falsetto is a bad term. Think of head tone! It's natural Read the old books not the 20th century rubbish. Today's singers know nothing because the old bel canto traditions have been lost.
Stephen Beet Stephen, he is not talking about the counter-tenor type head voice your are thinking about. He's talking about a rock approach to falsetto which is far more abrasive. I know you aren't suggesting a screaming rock singer to sing bel Canto are you?lol
Babe i love the energy but theres no way in hell i can do that change from nasal to belt voice on OPERA mode, because i don't have a single dime of opera vocal training
I am a natural 2nd tenor. I can hit a few baritone notes but I can mainly cover the whole tenor spectra even up to G5 (In my tessitura) I had issues in the past but, since I didn't FORCE my high notes and when I learned how to control my support I was able to breeze through the scales
Be happy with what you have and work hard to be the best Alto you can be. I have heard some Real beautiful Altos. Trust me its a gift. Plus isn't alto almost the same as alto
Lowered larynx!... right!... it doesnt sound right if you sing that in a high larynx... then it wont be that classical enough... but if you insist on singing the pssagio in high larynx then you might wanna check some other videos about how to sing rock songs...
Taking lessons right now from a great instructor and also review your fine videos from time to time. I am an old/new singer. Kind of old, new to singing; never sang, ever and now I want to. We're (instructor and I) still figuring out my voice, although I'm thinking it's in the high baritone range: G2 to G4, sometimes A4 and Bb4 (once or twice, but tenuous there), then falsetto there on up. Your thoughts, what kind of range is that? Or is the timbre more the deciding factor? I don't want to be stuck singing Dean Martin tunes, but I must accept whatever voice I have and concentrate on that rather than making it what it is not. This singing stuff is a great hobby; love it.
you can transpose any song to match your range. it will sound more 'okay' than you think. give it a try. ultimate guitar even has a transpose button on the chords
Josh Kelly Thanks for the tidbit. I may or may not have to transpose, depending upon the song I guess. Just beginning to sound okay enough so I can bear listening to myself on a recording (I was awful at start). Range getting to be F2 to F4, instructor tells me baritone range, light lyric voice, but should extend into tenor with work. (Low tenor?) I don't know, I just know I am enjoying this music stuff. The real irony is I picked up a keyboard to help me do vocal runs, and find I'm picking up piano much more quickly than voice.
Read up on the Bel Canto technique and you might be able to gain some range through that. I am a leggiero tenor that can comfortably go up to around A#5 in mixed voice and I pretty much only sing in mixed voice the whole time aside from low notes. Most opera singers like Pavarotti use the bel canto technique to hit their tenors C5s. They aren't using full chest voice, but a mixed voice with a proper amount of both head and chest resonance.
SoySauce HairDye Thanks, using that very technique and already gaining some range. Up to A4, and can get to F5''ish in falsetto, although sometimes getting some pull there. I'd like to see if I can stretch just a few steps higher, but without putting voice at risk. Fun stuff. I am not good yet, but I am not longer the "cat in a blender."
***** Yeah definitely avoid straining your voice unless that is a stylistic choice like Jimmy Gnecco uses it for. Another thing you can do is hit a B4 in falsetto, hold the falsetto but add some chest resonance if you can and essentially that can give you an idea if you can hit the note in a full mix voice. Tim Buckley would sometimes hit high notes that way, but he was a mid-tenor so I don't know what it would be like for a high baritone or standard baritone that you seem to be.
It will just take practice even if your a bass there is always potential to increase your range, just make sure to never stress or strain your notes and just practice singing higher, while keeping your throat clear and your larynx neutral, it will take time but practicing with a proper technique will will definitely help with being able to sing tenor
Encourage and criticize in a nice way. He's doing his own.Whatever the case, there is no one way of doing things,especially arts. What you were taught in music was created by somebody and must not be considered as the only way because it is what you know...
I'm baritone, I'm 17 and I'm tenor in my choir and I want to extend my vocal range :c My vocal range goes from G2 (sometimes F2) to A4... Head voice from Ab4 until B5 Whistle register from F6 until A7 (sometimes B7/C8)
Aron Romelus really? Mine goes from G2 to Gb4 .-. And I know that the very highest note for a tenor in a choir is a A4 but really, I can't hit it!! :'(
+Jüliân Hndëz don't worry I give you a tips to how to hit the higher notes... be avoid to force your throat if you don't can't hit the higher notes don't force it bec. ur throat make it hurt

I don't know, I just know I am enjoying this music stuff. The real irony is I picked up a keyboard to help me do vocal runs, and find I'm picking up piano much more quickly than voice.
Read up on the Bel Canto technique and you might be able to gain some range through that. I am a leggiero tenor that can comfortably go up to around A#5 in mixed voice and I pretty much only sing in mixed voice the whole time aside from low notes. Most opera singers like Pavarotti use the bel canto technique to hit their tenors C5s. They aren't using full chest voice, but a mixed voice with a proper amount of both head and chest resonance.
SoySauce HairDye Thanks, using that very technique and already gaining some range. Up to A4, and can get to F5''ish in falsetto, although sometimes getting some pull there. I'd like to see if I can stretch just a few steps higher, but without putting voice at risk. Fun stuff. I am not good yet, but I am not longer the "cat in a blender."
***** Yeah definitely avoid straining your voice unless that is a stylistic choice like Jimmy Gnecco uses it for. Another thing you can do is hit a B4 in falsetto, hold the falsetto but add some chest resonance if you can and essentially that can give you an idea if you can hit the note in a full mix voice. Tim Buckley would sometimes hit high notes that way, but he was a mid-tenor so I don't know what it would be like for a high baritone or standard baritone that you seem to be.
But what if your a bass
It will just take practice even if your a bass there is always potential to increase your range, just make sure to never stress or strain your notes and just practice singing higher, while keeping your throat clear and your larynx neutral, it will take time but practicing with a proper technique will will definitely help with being able to sing tenor
What if you're a salmon
Then it means you are very low voice person
I'm a milkfish sorry
then sing bass.. you can't choose your vocal range
Encourage and criticize in a nice way. He's doing his own.Whatever the case, there is no one way of doing things,especially arts. What you were taught in music was created by somebody and must not be considered as the only way because it is what you know...
You are either a tenor or you are not.... end of.
me too love to learn tenor style to sing those theatrical songs..id reach d high notes but lackg in vibrato..fullness
I thought baritone was bass. Is baritone both bass and tenor, then?
bass is the lowest voice in the human anatomy, baritone is basically the middle of these 3 voice classifications
Axel D. Rodriguez Why does my choir teacher keep referring to the bass students as baritone? Is she lying to them cause they're not deep enough?
+chatochafa130 she's probably confused of their classification maybe
+chatochafa130 I like the video, another good resource I found is panlarko sing fast
