[@mylessago8498]

I like his energy his energy is amazing

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

So spot on. The "oo" is the most underrated of them all. Steve Walsh (Kansas) had an amazingly strong "oo" vowel.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

VIDEOHEREBOB Great point Bob!

[@Powerade987]

I love you Justin, you changed my life, my vocal is getting better with every video, I live in Poland and we don't have single good vocal teacher. I think you are one of the best techers eva, love you!

[@gammacentrum1264]

The OO vowel helped me in balancing falsetto and chest registers, thus discovering my head voice. I hope I can recreate it anywhere. That was good Justin, although it's easier for you since you're a leggiero tenor.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Gammacentrum12 We hope it's easy for you tooooooooooooo! Keep singin' that OO!

[@gammacentrum1264]

New York Vocal Coaching It's partly easy for me. It's easier for tenors because of how their singing voice mechanism was created.

[@into.the.wood.chipper.]

@@gammacentrum1264 How is it different from the baritone mechanism? I'm also a tenor and slightly confused about that.

[@darksidessj25]

Hi, Justin my name is Justin! I am a countertenor and I have the most fun in my high range. I guess it is pretty rare for a guy to have a higher range cause I lacked a low voice. Anything below a G3 and I go flat lol. I just knew my voice was different and I dealt with it my whole life and I always wondered why my voice sound like it does. I even get mistaken as being young over mic . Thanks for your wonderful series. It took me 7 months to get my registers to blend and my coach said I did a good job with it. My first coach said I was a Bari/Tenor but I was breathing wrong and I didn't even try to do the exercises.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Amazing work Charisma! :D We're so glad this helped! -NYVC

[@jakebakartney8408]

You can work it out.Im a boy and i can go from G2 to F5

[@reverenddaffodil9724]

great info. I was LMAO with the pop singers comment. But I find with this vowel even with this exercise it makes me reach, tense, scratch, scrape, and squeeze my cords. It's like the embouchure shuts down my whole vocal apparatus. My only way of getting there is through "goo", the tongue trilled "oo", or some other vowel that I Can do. .

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Glitter Oh Dazzle Sounds like a clear case of darker vowel being performed too much with the tongue. Add that G you mentioned to the beginning of the exercise (GOONG) and that should help you. The NG is already there for this reason, but some singers will retract and bunch their tongue even on a NG. Keep that tongue free and flexible in all your vowels - particularly in the darker ones! :)

[@reverenddaffodil9724]

New York Vocal Coaching Thanks! that definitely hits the nail dead on.

[@BassocantorReviews]

Wow. Well done.

[@DarkAutumn3D]

Can I ask you an honest question? As stated in a previous comment - I DO have the range to sing about 2 and a half octaves (from C below middle to about G an octave above middle C.) Does practicing these help one to sing those higher notes more easily? As in does your voice get more used to it and becomes strengthened by doing these daily? Thanks!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Yes! This exercise will stretch your vocal cords and lay a foundation of flexibility. -NYVC

[@suloman123]

I'm a newbie so what I'll ask is ... is Justin using head voicce at 7:48? What are the registers a man uses when the note is so high?

[@suloman123]

And one more thing! When I'm doing all these exercises and it seems too high for a mix, should I aim on using head voice or stop?

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Thank you so much for your great question! We invite you to check out our Vocal Register World Tour Episodes, specifically Episode 87 "How To Sing Head Voice" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZKwe2yPq9OIhNk We hope this helps, and for any other questions, feel free to send them to [e-mail]!

Ooh. This one was difficult for me, Justin. I'm a low alto. As I went up in the exercise, I had to really resist changing the shape of my mouth to hit the high notes. And even then, I had a hard time staying on pitch. Did I do something wrong?

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Hi Daphne! The exercise Justin used here went up to Flageolet. Keeping the embouchure very tiny helps you to get into this vocal register. It sounds like you just might not be used to Flageolet. So, not to worry! Keep working at it and it will get better. :) For more information on this register you can watch these episodes: “Flageolet Explained - Expand Your Vocal Range!” - Ep. 36 Quick Singing Tips Ep. 113 "Expand Your Vocal Range" - Voice Lessons To The World We hope this helps! -NYVC

Whitney Houston I know this may be a very late response but to me, this situation sounds like it could be having to do with the bridge/passagio. It’s basically where our voices naturally want to switch from chest to head. Justin explains it in a better way in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4ampmt8f9yLgcU
