I can't thank you enough for this series! Best videos on false cords on youtube. I actually went from just stupid breathy growls that I would pass out to if I ever did a full song, to pretty much getting full control over my false cords and being able sing many songs in a row sounding good without fatigue and also immitating the vocals of various bands like Opeth, Dark Tranquility, and Satyricon! I look forward to new content and I frequently revisit your videos because they are such a joy to watch and good reminders about different exercises! THANK YOU!

“Tarzan” flipped a switch for me 💡👍 Any subtle vestibular fold engagement at all creates an incredibly comfortable & rich distortion. Edit: coming back after watching the full video. I was mid yodel when the video started; when you said “Tarzan” and before I heard your example I just kind of went with my instinct which was to swap to an “ohh” from an “ehh” which was paramount for me. I’m going to work through the vowels now :) 🎉

haha nice to 'see' you too - something a bit advanced but would be interested in you demonstrating several different modes of distortion, particularly soft palatte buzz. Like a mixed voice seems some are blending more than one type of grit but it seems generally unknown/misunderstood. Rooooooooooooooock

Hi, I've been asked about soft palate stuff before. Some students have sent me videos etc, but they're never people actually using their soft palate. Just people claiming that they are. If you have any specific videos in mind, send them my way because a velar (soft palate) distortion is actually physiologically possible it just isn't really used...

Can you check out Codfish (Australian beatboxer using Mongolian throat singing, or throat bass as known in beatboxing), and explain in detail what exactly he does to make his throat bass so smooth? And like a tutorial on what to do and how to practice to get false fold distortion like him?
@AlikiKatriou

I don't beatbox so I wouldn't trust me. My guess would be the amount of nasality he's using. By nasality I mean actual nasality (lowering the soft palate & going into a more Marlon Brando in the Godfather sound rather than brighter)...

Thanks for all your videos! I have been in this adventure for a time now and its starting to pay off - I am also amazed how different distorted tones we can get just from playing with the false folds and changing all the stuff above it. Seems that now I am able to sing like Louis Armstrong, Joe Cocker and Eddie Vedder (this one - that I love actually - not so much in higher pitches) The situation I am facing right now is that I am not able to get the false folds engaged when I starting raising the pitch too much and my voice starts mixing. Should I be able to - and would it sound nice? As I am not into death metal and such, I wasn't going to get deep and try to add the false folds over the falsetto. Would this help? Thanks for all! You are awesome Vini
@AlikiKatriou

So, yes and no. Yes, it is physiologically possible. It isn't very useful and it isn't used often. You'll need a different approach and strategy for higher pitches, depending on the sound you're after. Given that you're not looking for metal sounds, you probably want a twang based distortion for higher pitches...

Aw yeah, these exercises are gonna make me even more popular with the neighbours! Thanks a bunch! I would like to ask if practicing subharmonic singing would have an impact on the false chord sound (strengthen/weaken), since they use kind of a similar part of the anatomy? Also, is epiglottal distortion only used to add grit to singing or are there some growlers/screamers who rely on it? Unmasked Corey Taylor often looks like he's pushing everything into a very nasal area when yelling/screaming.

I would classify subharmonic stuff as irrelevant to false fold actually. At least subharmonic as used by bass singers and false fold as used by metal singers. Epiglottic distortion is mostly used in blues and soul. It's not commonly found in metal and, if it appears, it's usually happening by mistake. Unmasked Corey Taylor is mostly using twang (so aryepiglottic folds) rather than epiglottis.

Hi Aliki, I'm having trouble enganging the false folds as you do in 1:49. I can do it, but it takes for me massive amounts of air, so I last 3 seconds doing it. Any tips to constrain the air flow to that zone specifically? I've tried the tongue out/clear throat gesture, but I feel air leaking everywhere. Also, Iv'e been practising the fry a lot and I'm able to do this caotic sounds mixing chest/fry and falsetto/fry, and in the upper register it soudns pretty close to your's, so it got me wondering if there is a way to go from fry to "throat singing"-like distorsion or "where" is the mid-point between these, like a "passaggio" or something like that. Thank you for these wonderful tutorials!
@AlikiKatriou

You could use fry to inform your clean pitch... So basically you find fry, then you move out of fry into whichever clean pitch trying to find the minimum amount of air you need to make it clean. Then you can try introducing false folds. The idea being that you're actually trying to optimize your clean singing further. The only thing you might need to be aware of is volume, you might need to get louder before you bring the false folds in. Alternatively you could play around with the idea of moving from false fold to a fry airflow, which might help you reduce some air...

Hey aliki, from my attempts at using false folds in falsetto i experienced some hoarseness, and i also heard that using them in falsetto is bad for your voice. Am i doing something wrong?
@AlikiKatriou
2 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't think so. Trying to coordinate false folds in falsetto is pretty tricky and there is a tendency to use loads of air. Anything that blasts the vocal folds with air, will fatigue the vocal folds as they have to work really hard and that can lead to hoarseness. Make sure you always rest up and just aim to optimize the amount of air you're using. The other option would be a bit too much muscular effort/squeezing during the falsetto distortion, in which case, make it flubbery and lazy XD Play around with that Tarzan yodel gesture...

I have a question :) I think I use some kind of false cords/breath distortion mix and I managed to get pretty nice sound both in lows and highs. My problem is that I run out of breath really easily. 3 sec is a total max, and comfortably it's rather 2. I sing some covers now and once a sentence is longer, I struggle. I guess I use way too much air (I am really loud), but when I limit the flow the sound is more gurgling and having impact on true folds. Any advice on how to work on that?
@AlikiKatriou
2 жыл бұрын
I think this is a common problem. Definitely work on decreasing the volume (not necessarily audibly, as long as you feel a decrease that's the kind of work you need to do). Start your distortion and then go clean and sustain. So basically challenge your body & brain to find out that you can actually sing for longer than you think you can...

I guess I have to ask something to you, Sensei. My problem isn't activating false cord or false folds over Falsetto. My main problem is that I run out of breath pretty quickly and after using false cords my voice starts to cracking really easily in my high range. I don't know if I can't use compression enough for saving more breath or do i overprojecting but for now if I don't project like I do, I can't activate my false cords in falsetto. So that's make me thinking "should I practice more activating exercises", but at the same time I can do distortion vocals with low volume, less air support etc.. I'm just really confused, HELP :')

I would guess that you might be activating your false folds in falsetto by using a lot of air moving through the system rather than the true vocal folds parting to allow the air through... (?)
