Great lesson! 🎉 thank you 😊
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this, John, this was really illuminating. I'm still a total beginner, but for some reason I can achieve resonance in my skull only on closed vowels like /i/ and /u/ but never open vowels like /a/ and /e/. It's a fun journey at least :)
Glad it was helpful. /i/ and /u/ are great vowels to begin with. Slowly open to the other vowels in small degrees.
Thanks, John. This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic. Although I don’t generally think about it this way, it seems to me that my segundo passaggio is just below E4 (A=440 Hz) on an /u/ but closer to F♯ on /a/. But in mixed voice, I blend guided by resonance, since I never use a microphone. Anyway, I’ll stick my neck out and suggest that /u/ in chest voice is modified with /o/ for greater resonance in the head, whereas in head voice it is modified with /ʊ/ (as in “foot”) for greater chest resonance. What do you think? Is this something your book covers?
Thank you for the gift and kind words! You are obviously advanced on this topic and delving into subtle vowel tuning. Playing with shades of the vowel will directly influence your first resonance, R1 (sometimes called "formant" although they are technically different). The value of R1 relative to your 1st and 2nd harmonic will give you a headier or chestier quality . R1 closer to H1 is headier, closer to H2 has a chestier quality due to the intensifying of higher frequencies, particularly the 2nd harmonic which is prevalent in high chest voice.
If R1 tracks H2 on too high of a pitch, we begin to yell. If R1 drops all the way to H1, we flip into a falsetto. Mix has R1 between H1 and H2, tuning and adjusting for the desired effect.
I go deeper into the subject in my book, "Teaching Contemporary Singing."
It would be, Fun to see you react to Angelina Jordan. There is alot to listen to, but nothing older than 1,5 to 17 years old with her. She is not close to 18 yet. She is like medicine to a singing coach. Just pick any of her +170 covers or some any of her originales.
