Love this. Using it at as a warm-up. For most of my singing life I was an alto. Then, I started transitioning (trans man). My voice was quite unstable a few months ago as I started leaving alto and progressing to tenor. My voice is still changing, but, it's been stable enough now to sing Tenor 2--but the bridge between chest voice and falsetto is...cringey, lol. This video is helpful. Thank you!

hi jeff. thank you for all that great stuff. i'm so lost. as a male singer, i sing from C1 to F5. it becomes hard to push chest voice after F4. it can go down to C sharp 4 when i'm tired or after smoking too much. i've been training to get mixed voice since 1 and half year now, and i met 3 different teachers. one classified me as a high baritone, other one told me that my low notes were not correctly done so called me tenor, a last one baritenor. but i love so much high notes, i always try to sing tenor. i remember when i was pretty much younger, like 16 (i'm now 25) singing georges brassens french varieties songs and trying to get lower and lower. one night listening to my walkman i tried to sing all night long trying to get the lower i could. after this i felt my voice broke. i've been practicing 10 years after this as a baritone. but when i began to work high notes something happened in my voice and a new timber that was totally unexpected came out. is it possible i was a tenor that cracked long ago his voice ? to classify my voice for teachers is an awful task, and i'm wondering if it has been damaged. is it possible to change voice type after disease, or hurt ?

Hey Jeff! I have found your videos incredibly helpful on my journey to enhancing and strengthening my voice, thank you so much for all the work you have put in! One question - concerning the "*zone* of the passagio".... is it called the "zone" because it varies between person to person, or is it called a zone because the phase of transition is more than one single note?? What I mean is, is the zone of the passagio one note, where I transition from chest voice to head voice (because then I would call it the "note of the passagio".... or is it a "zone" where i transition and is that zone always going to be the same notes for me as a i progress in my singing and get stronger? Kind of confusing to try and write out the specific question I have but any pointers as far as this goes would be great! Thank you again. ~~Danny

I'm a confused contralto who frequently sings tenor in choirs. I am looking for a passagio improvement, and I think this went very well. I found myself singing in a weak chest voice, sort of, at the high point of the last few exercises. Generally I just break into the sound normally associated with Alto 2, which I suspect is falsetto in tenor terms. Thus the confusion.

You may want to try widening the vowel somewhat (think meh instead of may) and seeing if that eliminates the rasp. If so, you will need to evaluate your vowel alignment in the zona di passaggio. As I mentioned though, I will elaborate more at the live event. Best, Jeff

I am loving what you have to say to tenors regarding their vocial break, or secondo passaggio. I would appreciate some help in this area for the mezzo/soprano range. It's understandable that these detailed lessons would be where you sing most comfortably. Specifically, where I'm having the difficulty is getting "stuck" in my head voice when singing in a group casually, or in a campfire like setting. Then going to stretch up for rehearsal, and finding that it's very hard to get into my head voice area. Does that make any sense, or is it just me?
@JeffRolka
8 жыл бұрын
Makes perfect sense! From the way you're describing it, you're really close to starting to make your transition smoother. It is very common for us to get stuck in one register or another, as balancing the effort level between thyro arytenoid muscles (chest voice) and crico thyroid muscles (head voice) can be tricky. This video that we're commenting on is that process for tenor range vocalists, here's a link for soprano range vocalists: kzitem.info/news/bejne/14ah25ZskZd3aW0 and here's a video for mezzos on singing over the secondo passaggio: kzitem.info/news/bejne/ma2H2Hqra2RpjGk Let me know how it works out.

Sure. There is a lot of overlap in the vocal fachs. Take the note, middle 'c' for example. Nearly all fachs can sing that note, though it is in a different part of a baritone vocalist's range than a sopranos. Being more specific, baritones and tenors have a great deal of overlap in their respective ranges, though the primo and secondo passaggi will be located at different points for each respective fach.

Baritones can get away using pressed phonation, for adequate harmonic production tenors must use flow phonation. The need to exercise the stretching of the folds is best done using light falsetto, no need for anything more than a soft sound, as you exercise the cric0-thyroid stretching and contracting you will find that when you revert to flow phonation rather than breathy falsetto, you are on the way to easily floating a full rich tone.

Hi Jeff, just want to say thank you for your KZitem series - I use the warmup's all the time! I have a quick question - I have very thick vocal folds and thus a very low speaking voice - dunno if perhaps I'm just a lazy speaker or not, however I can belt to a D5, albeit on good days, and have a falsetto/belt to C6 which I was rather surprised about - however it is impossible for me to have the light airy quality that some tenors have. Bearing in mind my range covers from C2-D5 (C6) and my break is F sharp 4, would I still classify myself as a tenor even though my voice quality is a lot more rich and thick?

The term falsetto is used alternately to refer to both head voice and falsetto tone production amongst the various schools of voice. In this video, you're meant to start in cricothyroid dominant singing voice (head voice). One way to identify the difference is to listen to whether or not the sound of your voice is airy. If it is airy, that is not the correct usage. The top notes should sound hollow initially. Matching tone is another matter. All the best! Jeff

I went to see a vocal coach last week and upon arrival I told her that I was a baritone. She said "lets do some scales". I went all the way up to A4 before having to switch to my head voice. She called me a Tenor 1... So. Am I a tenor or a Baritone or a Baritenor? My full range (chest) is F#2-A#4 and my Falsetto range is B4-G5. Be aware that my voice has a darker color. I can make it brighter and more "clear", but naturally its pretty raspy. Naturally, I would say I'm a baritone, but in choral music maybe a tenor 1?
@JeffRolka

Range designation is mostly dependent on the location of the secondo passaggio in addition to your overall range and vocal characteristics. The secondo passaggio is the point where thyroarytenoid dominant singing changes over to cricothyroid dominant singing. This is commonly thought of as the difference between chest voice (thyroarytenoid) and head voice (cricothyroid) When you indicate that A4 is where you *have* to switch to head voice, that does not indicate whether or not that is your voice's natural transition point. For reference, no tenor nor baritone voice has a natural transition from chest to head voice at that point. Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion around these terms, as singing instructors over the years have used them interchangeably to mean different things. While I cannot determine your fach without more information, you can hear some demonstrations of the various ranges and registration events in this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/ko2b2qV8hZ2UqKA I hope that helps.

Hello and thanks for watching! If your voice is airy you don't have as complete an adduction of the vocal fold as would be ideal. It would be better if your voice were imbalanced to the hollow or hooty side of things when getting started, working towards more balanced consistent tone as your registration event technique develops.

If you haven't done a warm up and want to use this video, the two I've linked to below should be appropriate for your range and are reasonably fast paced without leaving anything out: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mnuM351qjGR8q3o kzitem.info/news/bejne/soKHqYyOpYKng2U Thanks for watching and getting in touch!

How would you find out whether you're a true tenor or baritone?
@JeffRolka

Luke Warren Luke, In order to determine your 'fache' or vocal designation there are several qualities that a voice teacher will listen to: Primo and Secondo passaggio registration events. Where these are located tells us a lot about what your fache may be. Characteristics of your voice throughout your range are considered. This not only takes into account what your overall range is but the way that your voice sounds as you go from your lowest note to your highest. The human voice is not so easily pigeon holed that the differences between tenor and baritone are easily determined. There is in fact one type of fache that is often mistaken for baritone but is considered to be a form of tenor vocalist. Baritone vocalists, on the other hand, can often masquerade as tenors once their secondo passaggio transition is smooth enough. I hope that helps! Jeff

Hello and thanks for your questions. Yes, but you may find that you have to adapt to slightly different vowel formations in your thyro arytenoid dominant range in order to smoothly sing through the secondo passaggio. If you have a lower vocal type, you may also benefit from the baritone videos, here's a link for the one in this series: kzitem.info/news/bejne/z62rsqCgkZ2VmYY Best! Jeff

um, hello (: Im kinda nervous about asking a question because I have no real experience in singing, but my mother was an ex vocalist and a really good one, but she wont teach me. she did tell me that I was between Tenor-Alto/Tenor-Baritone. I'm going to be practicing and continuing yo learn how to sing on my own (Everyone says I would have the perfect voice to sing if I learned how to use it) using this video because it was really easy to follow, but I was wondering, how would I find my vocal range without really knowing what that sounds like. I doubt you'll be able to answer it completely but any little help would be greatly appreciated. I really do want to learn to sing and be a good singer (: thanks for your time if you read this. Dage

+frostだげ Hello and thanks for your message! In order to find your voice type (called 'fache') there are lots of things to consider. Overall range is one, but location of your secondo passaggio (commonly thought of as one's 'break' but that is deceiving) is another aspect that we have to look at in determining fache. Then there is the overall character of your voice that needs to be considered. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching and keep in touch! Jeff

+Jeff Rolka wow thank you so much for replying, it means so much that you did and so fast too! I spend along time looking and testing where my range is (Ive always been put down because I never sound good and I used to just give up for a month and try again) and I found that I can sing around C3 (thats really low I perfer anything above E3) and can get too A4 (thats really high comfortably I perfer C4) my voice breaks at times if I do D4, but Ive learned to hold strong notes and I also know falsetto, why? because I always worked on sounding that beautifully (as in falsetto) and love to do them. used Michael Bublé's songs to help practice falsetto. Does this make me like a mixture of Tenor and alto .-. thanks again for taking time to read and reply (: Dage

(though its not very far in range as mentioned I can do E3 and get to about C4 and comfortably sing) Im still not sure but I know that thats where I can sing when I used videos to help find my vocal range, Im just kinda lost on if thats tenor or...what that makes me

That's very normal. I questioned including the 'may' syllable, but it's part of the progression of syllables. I may (pun intended) suggest that the pacing of this video is really fast. If 'you' and 'we' are coming along, leave out the 'may' syllables for a week or two. Just substitute 'you' or 'we' into those exercises. Practice vowel modifications below the secondo passaggio, particularly emphasizing the 'we' syllables 'i' vowel to the 'may' syllables 'e' vowel and then come back to the exercises that transit the secondo passaggio. I hope that helps! Jeff

Hi Jeff! I have a problem about my head voice. When i try to sing with my head voice most of the time accidently i am doing falsetto. I can't properly change between my chest and head voice without touching any falsetto notes. Do you have something in your mind to fix this?

I can only do these with a lot of twang (sounds like Axl Rose or Layne Staley). Is it ok to practice this that way?
@JeffRolka

+Don Carlson It is quite likely that you're using more vocal fold engagement than is entirely necessary to produce the pitches. In that case you may or may not be making a register shift from thyro arytnoid dominant singing to crico thyroid dominant singing. If you are doing the transition, then try backing off of the twang to see if you can balance the resonance a bit more. If you find that you are not doing the transition I would not recommend that you practice this video that way. It is uncertain as to whether or not you would be harming your voice, but that way of singing is not consistent with what this video is trying to help you learn how to do with your voice.

I'm doing it with a low larynx and twang. Not sure which should be strengthened more- head voice or chest... I have tried both approaches over a period of months and ended up with either a wimpy head voice that I can not sustain for several seconds or a strong low voice with a limited range. No matter what I do, I can't get them to balance so that they are both equally strong. The way the voice works makes no sense!

@@JeffRolka Thanks Jeff. How so? I'm genuinely confused - my range approx A to A in scales but sing to around B. I can get higher in the scales even to C but that's at the top of my actual natural physical ability & notice the tug at A#. As a songwriter I generally choose to sing at the higher range of my voice & have a fairly light tone although I can sing in thicker voice & try to remind myself to pitch lower sometimes to give my voice a rest. Is there such a thing as these categories & would I be classed a low tenor or a high baritone or a tenor who hasn't learned properly & is there any defining way I can use in the meantime to get some idea?

Jeff, I am a tenor and when I do the "How to Sin in Head Voice - Tenor Range" exercise I feel tension in my throat. Am I doing something wrong? I am not really confident in switching from chest voice to head voice. I want to spend this summer working on various exercises so I will be in better condition for choir next September. Thanks for all your help and dynamic videos.
@JeffRolka

+Ray Stevens Hello and thanks for your question! If you're not confident making your register shift then some tension in your throat is not surprising. If it hurts, stop. The tension and your register transition go together. This video is pretty fast paced. I did a three video series on smoothing out the transition from chest voice (thyro arytenoid dominant singing) to head voice (crico thyroid dominant singing) the first of which is here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xqh80Ih9kJuSaIo Try the exercises in this video for a week or so and see if the transition gets smoother. If it does, move on to video number two. Keep us up to date on your progress! All the best, Jeff

I'm glad to hear that! Regardless of how you define 'falsetto,' which differs depending on your teaching style, this video is meant to stay below the secondo passaggio. It is primarily focused on endurance and vowel alignment in the zona di passaggio; the transition area prior to singing in crico thyroid dominant voice (head voice). Thanks for leaving a comment!
