easier to do vibrato in higher registers?

feeds@yuku.com (s4m222) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:25:41 GMT

just last night i was readin the forums and browsing around brett mannings and this forum and was playing around with "crying" and squeaking and i realized that i can actually do short burst ( 1-4 secs) of proper vibrato. BUT here is the weird part or maybe its normal i can only do it on the higher notes in headvoice or falsetto cant really tell for sure. Imagine a guy imitating a female opera singer and just vocalizing OOOoOOoOOooo and with that voice i can initiate and somewhat...

Hello everyone,

My names Adam and I'm a 16 year old canadian . haha. Actually I turn 16 in about one month. I've been doing singing success off and on (unfortunately more off than I would like...) but I've already noticed dramatic improvements. I always come onto these boards and creep around to read any information I can get my hands on and there is a lot of awesome posts here. I...

Confused about SS

feeds@yuku.com (tkogiah) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:17:57 GMT

Okay so I have the SS program (as most of us on here do I believe). I have watched all the you tube videos and I have read all the newsletters and junk about singing from the singing success family. I have a serious confusion issue the program and what I hear from this site and other websites that teach a mix voice (even if SS is the best I know they don't have a monopoly on truth). Anyhow, My confusion is with the whole compression thing. I watched the Kelly Goolsby video excerpt of more...

I'm sure you guys are quite firmilar with david phelps. So I was just curious what exactly makes his high notes so powerful ? It almost seems instead of getting lighter he almost pushes down for the C sharp at the end ? David phelps is my idol as far as singing goes I'd love for one day to be able to get to achieve higher...

What pisses you off A LOT and awakens the beast inside of you?

feeds@yuku.com (confused) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:42:43 GMT

For me, it would have to be specific animal/creature cruelty. I really can't stand people hurting certain creatures. When I was watching news months ago, and I heard about a few guys who decapitated a bunny for fun, I seriously wanted to beat the living ^%$ out of them. Also, I was walking home in 5th grade and I saw a kid stab a slug with a twig and torture it. To this day, I regret not spearing the kid down.

Good high mix not so good low mix question

feeds@yuku.com (tkogiah) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:58:26 GMT

I don't know what to say. Umm I recorded this thing (its like 5.5 minutes) and I am wondering about chord closure I guess. Anything anyone wants to tell me is fine by me I have gotten so much discouragement over the years and pushed through it that I am totally not bothered by anyones criticism. So if you feel like you might be mean don't worry about it. Just be honest and let me know what you think and feel. and I just wanted to say hello to beyond tenor he's a cool guy....

Insects in your house!? How do YOU deal with them...?

feeds@yuku.com (confused) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:50:52 GMT

Fly swapper?
RAID?
Mega Punch?

Now, that it's summertime, these damn pests keep coming into my room, especially through the air conditioner ventilation. For flying insects, usually I get a RAID flying insect killer and spray-rape it until it falls and is unable to move due to paralysis. Then, I dispose of it. On the other hand, I found a new cheaper method which works really well. I always wear slippers in my hope, and if I see a moth, I just slip my hand into and at a...

Really annoying sound is this twang/edge?

feeds@yuku.com (jlk7jester) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:34:56 GMT

I was wondering I'm sure I'm not really doing it right. Infact I think its making me raise my larynx and constricting me giving me like a strained belty sound. But any tips ect. would be helpful. Thanks.

BEN WAS AWESOME

feeds@yuku.com (spidey009) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:37:12 GMT

I just had the lesson with Ben, and it was AWESOME!

Our lesson was mostly about pitch control and matching.
It was frustrating at first because I couldn't get the notes right, but I realized it takes time and patience to learn it.

Nonetheless, IT WAS AWESOME
Thanks Ben!

Recording "One King"

feeds@yuku.com (JollyJake) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:50:27 GMT

Hey Guys,

I'm recording "One King" again and it sounds a LOT better than my previous recording. My tone is a lot brighter and the higher notes are way easier to sing than they were in January.

I'll post it up once it is done.

Crying on Pitch

feeds@yuku.com (partyofone20) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:09:27 GMT

OK, so everybody here probably knows that putting a little cry in your voice can be very helpful for getting the right amount of air and compression when doing low-larynx mix excercises. This tip came up during my first lesson with Jesse when we were doing some mum's, and I've been very fascinated with the concept because it really does seem to release something in the voice. Jesse and I also discussed compression and I've been trying to figure out just exactly what it feels...

Placido Domingo

feeds@yuku.com (donnygg) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 07:36:49 GMT

Some may know that Placido Domingo started off as baritone and is going back to baritone roles. Just wondering what's his actual vocal classification? Baritone-tenor, lyric baritone or what? Is his recent move back to baritone due to loss of range, change in timbre with age or both? Thanks in advance.

New Recording (O Come, O Come Emmanuel)

feeds@yuku.com (JollyJake) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:54:19 GMT

Hey Guys,

I recorded the last part of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" last night. Check it out:

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Let me know what you think. I'm getting closer to that "one" voice that Jesse talks about. The only noticeable tone difference I hear is on the D5, but it'll come.

Has my tone improved since "One King"? Just making sure, lol.

My plan for next year

I want to spend one year on my voice, because I know deep inside this big potential is waiting to comeout
I"m so excited because I can finally vocalize without worrying about anything else.

New condenser mic, preamp and recording software problems

Sorry this is long and full of questions, but Im lost with my recording equipment.

I puchased a USB condenser mic but had to return it and get a regular condenser mic and pre amp w/phantom power (there was not a work around on the USB latency). I finally got the set up to works, but the mic/preamp and Audacity are giving me issues. Im totaly new to recording and not sure if...
