Amazing Singing Techniques You Should Learn (part 1)

[@floor.smorenburg]

I just saw Innocence yesterday in Amsterdam, and besides being absolutely struck by the story, i was amazed by your voice. Absolutely enchanting

Hei. Luin jutun HS:stä tänään ja löysin tämän sieltä. Olet uskomattaan upea. On itse asiassa yllättävää, että opetat tätä täällä. Opetuksesi on eriomaisen selkää, kannustavaa ja mutkatonta. Sulla on ihan huippu asenne! Onnea ja menestystä. Uusi fanisi Jukka T

I think you should mention in the title of the video that you are teaching Vienan Karjalan Joiku (a traditional folk singing technique/ tradition) So that people who are searching for "traditional folk singning" on youtube ...will find this singing tutorial better. :)

[@jogo2000]

Thanks for the lesson. It sounds ablsolutely amazing! Some ideas arose when watching. I think one can use this technique to accentuate some melodic runs, so you can hear the separate notes more clearly instead of a more sliding sound. Also sounds great on the ending of phrases like you showed.

Thank you Wilma!

Hi Vilma.I have questions: * what's a chest voice? * please explain front and back singing? I am reminded of Tuvan throat singing, with jolking (the sounds are very different, but the way you are perhaps using vowel sounds to create effects is similar to me). If you have not googled Tuvan singing (I am sure you know it already), then I recommend it. It's powerful and quite magical. Thanks for the assistance. This channel is going to be exceptional.

Hey! Thank you!! So a very basic vocal distinction is chest voice vs. head voice. The names come from where the sound resonates, you can try to feel it yourself by holding your hands just under you collarbones while singing. In your chest you should feel the resonance (chest voice) or the absence of the resonance (head voice). You can also touch your head, but the difference is smaller and harder to notice. Simply put chest voice is lower register and when you sing higher with this usually louder technique and you feel like you've reached your limit and change to falsetto to be able to go higher then you've switched to head voice. This is a very simple explanation, youtube is full of videos of these techniques, if you want to learn more! Also, the contrast in the break from chest voice to head voice varies a lot from person to person - for some it's hard to find the break and for some it is impossible to fade. What I mean with front and back singing is also about resonance. If you listen to my examples, they sound different, right? It's a vocal placement thing and has to do with the position of your tongue and space inside your mouth. When the space is smaller, the resonance is more in the front, and when it's bigger your voice resonates more in the back! If you say "feet" the space is smaller than "car", right? That's what that is about! Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :) Tuvan singing indeed is amazing!

@ Hi. You must think me rude, sorry it's taken such a long time to respond. I meant to write back and say "thankyou" for your reply. So thank you very much! Dan

Thanks love 🌣

It feels weird doing it as a man on a lower tone, it sounds beautifully coming from you though.

There were sámi people in north karelia, does this stem from the same tradition as the sámi joiks?

[@dot-rain]

There are potentially some influences yes! Viena Karelian families sometimes intermarried and had cultural exchanges with Skolt Sámi families, and I believe Inari Sámi as well. However, even Karelians from more southern Viena areas and other Karelian regions have some instances of this singing technique (moreso in laments). So even if it originally might have come from contact with East Sámi peoples (which would be a cool topic for study) it's had its own development for many centuries.

Onko part 2 tulossa? :O

Sen piti olla tulossa mut en oo muistanu koko asiaa lähemmäs 2 vuoteen 😅 ehkä joskus!

[@Poromir]

Please remember that this is a KARELIAN tradition, not to be owned and used by Finnish people. Yoik never belonged to finnish culture or tradition. Just because something is "cool" and "exotic" in your opinion, does not give you the permission to steal and use that thing to your advantage. Give something back to the Karelian community, something that does not benefit your selfish gains.

[@suomaa3124]

Please remember this is also SAMIC tradition, not to be only owned by Karelian people. And Karelians are Finno-ugric people, like Finns.

[@johnowl6070]

Pavlo, if you are going to give a lecture you really should get facts straight. Like Suomaa said, joiku (or joik) is also Sami peoples tradition. Anyway, I strongly disagree on your notion of saying that trying to learn traditions of different cultures is somehow bad or stealing (see cultural appropriation). As long as there have been people there has been exchange (of traditions) between people. Being interested in other cultures and appreciating them (like in this video) it brings people closer to each other.

[@johnowl6070]

And saying that joiku (joik) never belonged to Finnish culture can be considered as a blatantly false statement as there are Sami people living in Finland and they have been living in this area for ages. So as they are Finnish people (citizens) living in Finland their traditions are a part of Finnish traditional heritage. Also, Sami people belong to Finno-Ugric haplogroup like people in Finland in general and the Samic language has same origins as Finnish language (early Proto-Finnic). The thing is that Finland (or any other country) is not some homogeneous group of people. There has been many tribes in this area of land that we nowadays call Finland, though they do have same early ancestry. So in sense a plethora of cultural traditions can be described as Finnish but also one could say that none of those old traditions are really Finnish and the only traditions that could be considered Finnish would be the ones that have evolved within last hundred years or so.

[@johnowl6070]

Unfortunately you seem like a person who rather spreads destructive woke agenda just to feel righteous than a person who would care about finding the facts and common ground for people to appreciate and to enjoy our cultural differences.

[@david82633]

@@johnowl6070 is karelian joik a separate tradition from sámi joik, or did they take inspiration from sámi traditions. Sounds too similar to be a coincidence
