If you've already watched the video and are just coming back to practice, here are timestamps to the examples for each exercise: These exercises are done on pitch. 2:37 -- Repeat vowels staccato without clearing your throat before sound. a-a-a-a-a, e-e-e-e-e etc. 4:15 -- Nasal sounds. With tongue out, transition e-m-e, e-n-e, e-ng-e, a-m-a, etc. Then, do vowel first: m-e-m, n-e-n, etc. 6:58 -- Faster, repeated smooth transition between vowel and nasal. e-n-e-n-e-n-e-n-e-n-e-. Focus on decoupling the tip of the tongue from the back. Don't allow your false cords to remain engaged for more than 3 seconds without resting them.

I just wanted to echo everyone’s sentiments here-you’re one of the first people I’ve seen break this stuff down in a way that makes sense. I do scream vocals occasionally in the music I make, and I usually just raw scream (which I know is bad and you should not do, but it’s usually only a line or two and I don’t really perform live so I don’t have to do it often). Unfortunately, I have a song rn that’s almost entirely screaming, so raw screams just won’t cut it for my voice. I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to figure out how to do it correctly, and something clicked when I found this video (along with the previous one in this series) last night. It’s still not *great*, but this is the first time that I feel pretty confident that with enough practice with the way you’ve explained everything, I’ll get a lot better. Thank you!

I was wondering if this distortion technique is primarily for heavy vocals? I am looking to try and learn distortion like Lewis Capaldi. Is this technique applicable in that style of music as well, or can you possibly tell me which kind of distortion he uses?

Hey Kasper, he is using what I would call an ary-epiglottic distortion. The sound sometimes involves false fold vibration but it doesn't necessarily have to... I'm planning on making a tutorial series on this distortion but that will probably be after 5th September when my band release their album. For now, do 2 things, play around with false folds so you know how they feel (all my students who do ary-epiglottic distortion "have to" do false fold to work on their control and awareness) and you can start looking into what singing teachers call 'twang', which uses the ary-epiglottic folds during clean singing.

@AlikiKatriou
19 күн бұрын
Dryness is very common when vibrating the false vocal folds. The bottom of your false folds are lined with mucus sacs that drip onto your true vocal folds and hydrate them. When you vibrate the false folds, sometimes it flings the mucus around in the wrong direction and everything feels dry. The more you do it, the more the system learns to "hydrate" itself and it stops being an issue, typically :)

How to prevent gagging? Whenever I do this false cord thing I start gagging when I stick my tongue out. It does not happen when I do vocal fry, that shit is easy for me. This one is the tough one. I also have issue when singing clean, again gagging when singing clean. Surprisingly I don't gag at all when doing vocal fry. But yea I wonder why the gagging thing happens. I do have very sensitive gag reflex though but it shouldnt happen when doing these or singing.

Aliki, I have a question for you! I see a lot of comments that your videos are the only ones that really cover the reality of false cords and have the most direct/informative approach for beginners. I really enjoy your videos, though other videos I have seen before yours said that false cords are supposed to be used softly and not harshly. So technically, I have seen people that have said the opposite... are you able to clarify if that is incorrect information? Whatever response may be really helpful in me really understanding false cords! Thanks so much
@AlikiKatriou
Жыл бұрын
It depends on the sound that you want. Think of it this way: your speaking voice is a more muscular use of your true vocal folds than your falsetto/head voice, so in a sense it is "harsher". There is nothing inherently bad about using your body in a harsher way, you just need to pace yourself. Practice in a physically lazy way, do 30 seconds to 1 minute per day, don't start off with these sounds by doing 20min sessions (same way that I wouldn't recommend belting for 15min straight if it's your first time belting). If you use your false vocal folds harshly you'll have more control and sound like a Mongolian throat singer. If you use them more lightly it sounds more like death metal. I like starting harshly and then getting lighter as we go. It's a personally preference for many reasons :) I wouldn't say either information is incorrect per say, there are different advantages and disadvantages to both.

Hi, my guess would be that the larynx is lifting and all the muscles are trying to contract and are closing up the system a bit too much. The tongue could also be participating. You might need a bit more air flowing through the system to loosen things up (by "flowing", I mean flowing through and coming out of the mouth/nose, not more air trapped underneath the vocal folds, which would mean more pressure. I also don't mean taking a bigger breath, just let more air come out, more air exit the sytem )...

Hi Aliki, your channel is truly a revelation! :D I'd like to ask you a couple of things that I didn't understand well. - to add some "simple" rock scratch to my voice (I think the term is grit or rasp) should I focus more on your Fry lessons or those on false cords? I think the first ones, but I'm not sure. - I followed your first two videos on False Cords, and I can (more or less) do the Mongolian throat sound with vowels and N (both tongue in and out). The exercise seems to be pleasant, but after a few minutes I start to feel itching and burning (right at the height of the false cords), and it lasts a couple of days. Could it be related to the fact that I haven't warmed up before? (I don't know why but I was convinced that Fry and False cords exercises did not require warm up) Thanks in advance for your time.
@AlikiKatriou
2 жыл бұрын
Hi! Good questions. I'd actually say false folds for grit but give me an example of the target sound and I'll let you know. I wouldn't do these specific exercises for more than a minute, there's no point. You might be working too hard. It depends on what you do. If you're doing 1 exercise for less than a minute, you'll be ok without a warm up. If you're doing the beginner fry stuff, you don't need a warm up. If you're doing all the beginner false fold stuff, you probably will want to warm up: false fold can be rough!

Hehe, yay for breath distortion. So breath distortion does cause the false folds to vibrate just not at the level of control you'd want for false fold distortion.

I wanted to ask if you think he is actually using false chords because if so I would be very interested in developing them more. Some songs to get an idea of the sound I'm curious about would be "26", "iffy" and "all the debts I owe". Its not heavy metal by any means but his sound is very unique and it seems like nobody sings like that. Thanks!

How can i avoid that?
@AlikiKatriou
3 жыл бұрын
Hi! What you're experiencing is very normal. One reason this will happen is because your false vocal folds are actually covered in mucous glands and they drip mucous onto the vocal folds. They are responsible for your vocal folds being nicely covered in mucous and not feeling dry. So, by knocking them together we are removing a lot of that mucous and this can have a drying effect! Your body will adjust with time. That being said, make sure you are well hydrated throughout the day. In terms of using less air, simply exhale some air before you start the distortion/exercise. This way, you ensure you start with less air "in the tank" . It might be a bit harder to do but it is worth it :)

Every day, just once or twice for a maximum total time of 30 seconds - definitely no more! All these exercises are challenging your false fold coordination and skill so you don't want to practise for too long and you want to allow time to 'forget' so you learn the skills better :)

If you sound nasal you might be a bit too high up in your throat. Check if you still sound nasal when you block your nose. If yes, you're too high in the throat :)

I have a question... I feel much more vibration on the lower part of the neck... Is that good or not?
@AlikiKatriou
2 жыл бұрын
Ooooo, in my experience vibration low down on the neck is often a sign of epiglottic distortion. You might be in a bit of a combo distortion of false fold + epiglottis. I wouldn't worry too much. You might want to try using a bit less air just in case that stops the epiglottis (this is assuming you aren't in love with the tone of the combo distortion: some people love it and that's great!).

8:36... my shaver makes that sound! On a serious note though. Is clearing your throat bad for vocal chords? I try to avoid clearing throat but am beginning to feel how to get them false chords moving. Also, is this a muscle we're building up over time to get the sound or is it more training ourselves to feel out the technique?
@AlikiKatriou
2 жыл бұрын
The simple answer: it can be bad for you. My real answer: life and voices aren't that linear. You can do everything in a healthy, sustainable way and in a terrible way. We're not building up muscle. No laryngeal muscle is weight bearing. You can't really build them. You can coordinate them! We're training ourselves to find the right coordination - which in this case will probably be pretty strong and rough - and then we're balancing the effort so we can do it sustainably :)

@@AlikiKatriou Huh. If it isn't muscle training what is it that makes your throat tired when doing these/other vocal exercises? I assumed it would go away as my throat gets stronger, but now I'm wondering if it isn't something else. I don't expect it makes a lot of difference but just in case: I'm coming at this from a voice acting perspective rather than a singing perspective.

I've always had a talent to change my voice as desired. (I hope I am explaining this correctly). For example, whenever I am in any pain it's my "other voice" that growls (for lack of better word), and people kinda give me a weird look. It's kinda beastly and growling moan. I later messed around and found I could halfway talk like that. Now, after listening to 2 of you sessions, I am doing it easier, but not at the same pitch yours is; rather a deeper sound. Not sure what I am doing wrong so will keep trying. (P.S. I'm also freaking out my christian room mates!" Can we also learn how to use both sets of vocal chords at the same time?
@AlikiKatriou
2 жыл бұрын
I am always using both sets of vocal folds, and most people do this. It's very uncommon that people only engage the false vocal folds - it's not a very loud sound and it's quite hollow-sounding if you're only working on the false folds alone.

Don't practise too much, make sure you're only doing 10 seconds a day. It's all about 100% mental effort to find the balance for little physical effort. In theory, yes, as your skill develops you get better and better and there is no pain. However, just remember that practice makes permanent, not perfect, so it's not about the time you put in, it's about the quality of that practice.

Finally got around to watching this, interesting exercises, keen to try them once life settles down a bit lol. Worried I'm not getting on top of the consistency of that base tone with the way 2020's tossing me around... D: At 8:50, are you talking about trying to get your teaching website to show in cards and the end screen? Turns out you have to be in the KZitem Partner Program first, but once you set it up, they don't seem to take it away even if you fall out of eligibility like I did. Here's the article just in case anyway: support.google.com/youtube/answer/2887282?hl=en One workaround you could try though is to use websites considered to be crowdfunding/merch to link over to it maybe. KZitem lets me also link to Patreon and even Bandcamp through cards and end screens without having to set anything up. Not sure what's the best one to get people to your actual website though, and it might be a little convoluted, but yeah that's a thing. Afaik you don't have to be YPP for that either but I could be wrong...!

@AlikiKatriou

I wouldn't recommend getting the lows first - I'd do mids first. You get much much better feedback from your body on mids and that is helpful. People can do lows with the worst technique and still feel ok, this is isn't the case higher up. Typically sensations of scratching relate to erratic breathflow, so I would say you're using a bit too much air chaotically. If you're just starting out, don't worry about it, my exercises use nasal sounds to shift the breathflow and address this issue without you having to do anything. Yay for honey and thank you!! XD
