Is so much better than "You made a mistake. You're a lesser person because of it and it's inconceivable how you could do such a thing. Let me show you how a competent person would do it." Those are obvious hyperboles of everyday situations but it's the essence of every exchange - uplift the person or diminish them. Which approach builds them up in the end?

Hi, violinist here, can’t sing for shit but hey I’m here so. When Sam was talking about relaxing to get the fast rap to work, I was reminded of my section (second violin) having trouble keeping tempo and getting all the notes on a fast 16th note phrase. Our teacher told us to loosen our bow hand and just kinda be really relaxed and it worked immediately, it was so much easier to keep tempo when we were relaxed. When we saw the fast notes we had to play, we all instinctively tensed up to try and have more control over the speed and bow movements but that just kept us from getting it right. Anyway, just thought I’d share that because it came up and apparently applies to different types of music and instruments.
@Grunzelbart
4 жыл бұрын
Playing Piano here, clicked the exact same for me! For really fast runs it's super important to try and minimize movement. Because every motion you save you can use to play faster or add more expression into each note. I reckon this is true for most things. The whole "he made it look easy" you often hear about true professionals, is exactly that to the max.

When my professor talked about voiced and unvoiced, forward sounds, tongue placement, etc., I was like, "oh! I've heard this stuff before!" so the concepts weren't unfamiliar to me. And the concepts, when applied to linguistics, has helped me understand what you're talking about in terms of singing. Formally learning and studying the parts of the mouth and vocal cords and how sounds are made has helped in particular.

Hey Sam! 🙂 Can you please make a video talking about *bridges* in detail? It seems like you reference them in every video, and this video is no exception. Like at the beginning of this one, at 1:10, I'm left to wonder, how in the world do you know G#4 is "right on a bridge" for him? Is it a bridge for everyone? Is it a bridge only for men? Is it a bridge only for tenors and you're guessing he's a tenor? And also another question, I like to sing low a lot so I was wondering, is the intersection of fry and chest at the bottom of your range called a bridge as well? Cause on the specific note where that intersection occurs in my range, I feel an instability characteristic of a bridge. What would that be called, though? My zeroth bridge lol? Thanks Sam. 🙂

This may not be a perfect answer, but my understanding is this: "The Bb was working, but when he went down...that's right on a bridge". First of all I'd say by this statement Sam is saying he identified this as his bridge *because* the higher note sounded better than the full step before it. Any singer will tell you it's easier to be at the top of your comfortable range, or the bottom of the next registry, than in between. The bridge is such a fragile place that especially in 'power singing' an untrained/inexperienced singer will inevitably fail. So, failing there is basically what tells you that is his bridge. And just as a second thought, yes, G4-C5 is almost every male's bridge ever. Not the whole range but I mean within that range of notes will be just about every male's bridge. The bridge itself depends on the person I guess, I'd say it's usually around 3 semitones.

However it's still very important to take care of it and sing in ways that will not hurt or injure your voice as well.

You're such a great teacher! As someone who secretly wants to get better at singing, just for myself, you are the dream vocal coach I'd love to have. The highest compliment I can give is that I'm actually able to absorb and apply your teaching moments to my own technique from the examples you provide. (ex: doing what feels easier instead of straining, vowel shapes/sounds, making sure not to push too hard, planning breaths, and in this particular video, the over- enunciated consonants) I'm much better at actively listening; I can now actually identify why something went right or wrong. Thanks for being exactly what you are, you've allowed me to have some pride in myself and my vocal journey. Best wishes from Texas :)

Take On Me, if you listen to the original recording, when the singer comes to "in a day", he shifts the pronunciation slightly to make the transition easier. Not so much "in a dAAAy" as "in a dey". Like the difference between way and they, or hay and hey. I stumbled across that trick when my voice started changing when I was 12, and I went from being able to hit the high notes to being stuck in the mid tenor ranges. It was frustrating, being a girl and having my voice drop faster (and farther) than my younger brother's. He was 15 before he could beat me in the low notes.

Great comment, most people don't realize that a girl's voice can change just as dramatically as a boy's during puberty, at least when singing if not speaking. I went from hitting Mariah Carey belting and whistle notes at 12 to being somewhat stuck in a contralto range and switching to a country music style (Wynonna and Lorrie Morgan mostly) because I could no longer sing like Mariah and Whitney. I'm just now letting myself try different styles again and with the help of Sam's and Ken Tamplin's videos, I'm learning that my voice doesn't have to be limited to just one range or key. I wish I would've had that knowledge much sooner, but it's never too late to learn! Now I just need to conquer stage fright 😂

@severage8790

When reaching higher "reinforced falsetto" notes (Or Head Voice, whatever name you want to attribute to them), it's 80% technique and muscle memory, 20% physical limitation. If all male singers were taught how to sing in the upper registry, I'd wager nearly everyone would be able to reach F5 properly - higher depending on the individual. It's all about your comfort with the 'feeling' of singing in that registry, your mouth shape, vowel use, and crucially cord coordination to make notes easier (or possible); without a teacher especially it's really all about practice. Most importantly, whatever notes you *can* sing, your singing quality should aim for excellence. Range has its place, but it's all about making what you can do beautiful. If you have range, great, make it beautiful too.

@@sirsnow371 If you use a mix, you will feel a vibrato in your chest still. Most the placement will be high, as in more toward your head, but there's a distinct "Hanging on" of the feeling in your chest, most easily identifiable when vibrato is happening (imo). This is, in fact, the entire reason for *using* mix, to sing notes that would normally be above your comfortable range by using a heady voice but then beefing them up with a little bit of traction from the chest. All pure head voice, be it falsetto or "reinforced" falsetto, there is no hanging on in the chest. The vibrato is felt around the top of your throat. I use vibrato because it has a very obvious, dramatic feeling to it. I've never had a voice teacher myself, would have really helped, but you sing for enough years and watch enough Sam Johnson videos and you put two and two together. (;

@@sirsnow371 Sure thing! I went through something similar and stopped singing for about 5 years (I had decided to quit permanently), but I suppose I couldn't stay away from it. Vibrato comes fairly naturally for me when adjusting 'placement' of sound. Sort of an elusive thing to describe, but essentially when I want vibrato I stop forcing sound forward, let it ease back and let the sound sit at the back of my throat instead. This also saves your diaphragm muscles when sitting on notes for a long time, which can be prone to fatigue. Anyway, you'll figure it out. Be patient with yourself and have fun with it!
