[@wilsimon4886]

I tried the nya-nya-nya sound and my cat (literally) attacked me twice. And should a baritone or a bass use twang it is at higher pitch than I'm use to? I have a low singing voice but a medium speaking voice

[@mrvicazvrk]

Why are you rude?🤔

[@lindseysteel5534]

This is so helpful! I'm a first saprano but can be too airy when I get really high. This technique really helps a lot. I wish I could take voice from you! You are an amazing teacher. :-)

[@krisares6396]

Same, I trained in Opera... so trying to make my voice modern is really hard. I do have the benefit of starting in a Southern Baptist Choir (My babysitter on weekends went to church every Sunday) but once I hit college I trained my voice fully classical.

[@matthewbates9629]

That’s so cool I have a husky voice naturally and I’m a bass I don’t think I could make it as an opera singer

[@RobinPierceWildMoonSister]

Ahhh Evynne, you have such gifts, both the ability to clearly demonstrate what you mean, and too, for keeping our attention: its never boring to watch your voice lessons, from Disney Princesses to Fran Drescher, willing to make odd faces and strange sounds to get the lesson across [NO FEAR!] with the charming bonus of Ash's little voice now and again piping up in the background.

[@eltontv2]

My mama came in and she was like:Son,wha..what are u watching?

[@donnal.]

Wow good twang lesson. I don't like practicing twang so I've been skipping it. But your video is so convincing. I finally understand the benefits of practicing twang! Thanks. This video is just what I needed to hear.

[@EvynneHollens]

So glad it was helpful for you! I'm obsessed with twang! 😉

[@stephaniecook4753]

I first watched this video over a year ago. This one technique has completely changed my singing. THANK YOU! You teach this so well, and it has opened up a whole new world of songs I never dreamed of being able to perform

[@BRCVPAMusic]

This video and series has forever changed my voice for the better. I have been an elementary music teacher for 15 years. I am classically trained so teaching music theatre can be a struggle sometimes. My students love these videos too! My 5th graders sang Almost There and they all felt so much more confident after we went though these videos! Thank you ❤

[@lisaponten6036]

I have really appreciated these videos. I'm a classical singer, but sometimes I need to teach my students some healthy belt/twang. You give such great and healthy and accessible examples! Also, many of the online belting tutorials are done by men or lower-voiced women. Your videos are much more relatable to sopranos. THANK YOU!

[@keilaniroza783]

Girl I've done choir for a very long time and my god I don't know why I didn't consider this trick, I was getting so mad at myself for sounding so bad and then once you said twang I immediately knew what you meant. You literally improved my singing by 1,000 percent for the song I'm working on in 5 seconds I love you lol thanks so much.

[@7DreamBigFlyHigh7]

Evynne, could you do a commentary video where you take us entirely through one of your recorded songs and point out the various techniques you've been using, and/or how you approached trickier parts of a song? I really liked how you used the example of Hello. Love these videos!

[@MaryIlles]

Hi Evynne, I just found you here on youtube, I really find your technique to be solid, healthy and very much in keeping with what I've learned about "belting", "mixing" and classical "legit" sound. I also teach a lot of young teen girls, and these exercises are terrific for them too! The way you speak about healthy technique is very much in keeping with how I like to teach too. Thanks!

[@CourtneyGreen]

I am primarily a head voice, light singer. I just found out that I have to figure out how to belt Suddenly Seymour in two days and this really helped me figure out to put less strain on my jaw and still get the sound I was looking for. Thank you!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Amazing explanation of twang, best one I've seen on youtube. I think this is the most important subject I've encountered in a while.

[@florentinamayliem7890]

I really like your teaching technique. Not too serious yet I still get something. Keep making good videos!

[@barbragreen2513]

This was so helpful! I keep sending these to my own InBox to see it again & again and have it be the most accessible. She is beautiful and an incredible singer! I have struggled vocally with the exact content she has gone over. I watch American Idol & feel so unconfident with my voice hearing all those singers…not a good feeling. Her voice is far more beautiful with perfect technique! Makes me feel like I could learn this, and protect my voice at the same time. How do we know that those American Idol singers are doing their belting in the most protective & safest way for their vocal chords. I found gold today! Thank you, & keep signing; I will aspire to one day being able to do the same.

[@yixiaozhang2591]

This is super helpful ... When my voice breaks into head range I just suddenly sound like an opera singer, and just after watching this one video I can sing musical theater/pop songs with one quality in all range, so magical ...

[@naomit5036]

Wow, this is really helping me because I chose a powerful song to sing for my school performance and I didn’t know how to sing those high notes loud and powerful enough. I’m so glad I found this video!

[@goblinsbride5848]

2019 and blessed to have found this series of voice lessons. I love to sing to myself and people tell me I have a beautiful voice. But what is a beautiful voice when you don't know how to use it with right techniques. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills! ❤

[@planetag310]

I learned the 'nyaa-nyaa' exercise here on KZbin just a few weeks ago and it has transformed my voice completely - high notes are much stronger and sound like I'm belting when I'm really using mixed voice.

[@amyli092]

These voice training sessions are very informative and fun! I also love Ashland's little voice cameos. :D

[@radishcrystalbiggie]

This was brilliant and so so helpful!! I often feel my voice teacher doesnt really understand female voices as he is male... He is determined to make me into a soprano but I would normally sing alto- this has been really helpful for reaching some of those higher notes!! :D xx

[@illustrisartifex1767]

YOU ARE SO AMAZING. At 3:47 when you said try it again with a ';)' i completely understood and experienced what you were talking about!

[@gracefitzpatrick6343]

honestly, i’m so glad i stumbled upon your video and especially this one! i recently competed in a voice competition where the girl who placed first in my category had a signature song that i believe used this type of placement. she blew me away with how high i thought she was “belting,” but now that i’m thinking about it, she might have been placing it like the way twang is. awesome video! thank you :)

[@rva]

hello. thanks for a great video! I was asked to do an impression of you for one of my impressions video. would you mind if I featured you?.thank you!

[@ABluebonnetabroad]

I really appreciate this. You are consistent with my voice teachers I have had over the years. I am struggling with a weakened head voice and so anything to help increase phonation up in those notes is helpful.

[@zacharyradoff5839]

this lesson was soo sooo sooo helpful! My friend is a big belter and he sings showtunes all the time in the car and i''m trying to teach myself this kinda stuff and your videos are some of the very few that are understandable when it comes to explaining concepts!

[@ThatgirlAudie]

I tried this with all five of my students. They range from 9 to 30. It was a lightbulb moment for ALL of them!

[@mstram]

Thanks very much for this video. I can see that "Full twang" is not necessarily something a singer would need to use, execpt occassionally, but it's a great way of finding your vocal / singing limits.

[@weronikawozniak9814]

Awesome! I'm singing in a choir and your lessons are helpfull. Love it. PS: Regarts from Poland :)

[@NkirukasWrld]

GOING TO TRY THIS TWANG TECHNIQUE! WILL GET BACK TO YOU!

[@sonianjiki3796]

Nancy Okocha we are still waiting for the feedback here lol

[@NkirukasWrld]

Oh yeah I gave up on the twang tech, I discovered a new one lol

[@mmatockarija]

N K I R U K A which one?

[@bnegrao]

i guess hi discovered a bicycle or a swimming pool

[@musicgirl21788]

I'm loving these videos. They're very easy to follow along with (though that might just be the musician in me, I can't speak for everyone else). I started getting discouraged with my singing after I blew my vocal cord and it got infected causing some permanent damage. You started this series right about the time I was cleared to sing again and the videos have been a ton of help. I haven't noticed that much of a change, my dad says he has, but I'm probably just being too hard on myself. Now I just need to work on slowly getting my range back.

[@andrewkhorsand2972]

great voice lesson! can't wait for your music video next week!

[@catherinesanders5224]

This is helping. I have a confidence issue, but I love singing. I feel like the more I watch your videos, I feel more motivated to practice and get motivated. You are an amazing singer, and you inspire me to sing all the time. ❤️

[@sydneyphilips323]

I love your lessons so much! I struggled for so long trying to figure out what 'Twang' was and how to use it, and still couldn't grasp the concept. Your explanation made it so clear and accessible for me! Thank you!

[@ChudLife]

I've been practicing singing extremely quietly for the past 3 months with proper vocal chord control. Now that I can hit D2-G5 quietly with a squeak, I realised that singing with power/volume is extremely difficult. This advice was perfect but I think my neighbors hate it. Gonna have to find an empty parking lot to go park and practice in. Thank you!

[@DarthSaber01]

You would make one awesome nanny, Evynne! I have seldom seen a video which has brought me more laughter as well as instruction, than your video has brought to me today. Many thanks, Evynne!

[@vincentmuyco8446]

you're the best teacher/voice coach

[@edelynramirez6719]

I’ve been singing for almost 8 years now and I was always trying to figure out how to be louder especially with a high note and this is very helpful thank you so much 😁💙💙

[@Playingbyear2022]

I'm performing Think of Me, for a recital. I only two years ago switched from an alto to a mezzo soprano. I'm also a muscician mostly, so the world of signing is ackward right now when it comes to exercises and warm ups. Thank you for the videos.

[@kaylajabri]

This video has answered the question to what I was trying to figure out for 4 years in college. This was so helpful!

[@Wendy-xv2pg]

I really appreciate the way you teach. You teach what you say you're going to teach with nothing superfluous, just great advice done really well. Thank you so much!

[@IIMajaTadeoII]

I really really really love your voice lessons! I had to quit singing lessons and your videos are the last thing I have to improve my singing. It feels so good to practice with your videos! I recognise many things my singing teacher used to do with me 😊

[@graciecrocker488]

This tutorial is very helpful, thank you! The note that I had to sing for an audition was quite high for a belt in my chest voice, but the twang made the judges not even notice I was switching to my head voice!

[@lisabennett9034]

I would love to see a teaching on getting rid of the "out-of-control" breaks in my voice. I have developed many of them.

[@morganscott5965]

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm playing Lefou in a performance of Beauty and the Beast this summer and since i have to sing in the higher octave, this was really helpful to sing high, loud, and keep that cartoon-y tone in my voice!

[@emilyj5356]

Omg I tried it and it worked! You're a really good singer! I can really understand the things you are explaining and you're not using weird vocabulary! From watching this video I think I can increase my range. I didn't know a lot of things about singing and now it's pretty clear! Thank you! 😊😊😊

[@陈华-f7j]

wow, really explained this technique ...not a mystery any more . great teacher cause she showed an example of its application and even showcased their differences ...thank you so much

[@miaandmae3846]

I'm loving these videos Evynne!! I'm wanting to start singing in my church praise band, and these videos are so helpful! Thank you so much. You have such a beautiful voice .

[@chunermay6957]

Just dropping by 6 years after this video has updated, wanna say this really helped me a lot!! thank u so much😭😭🥰🥰

[@karenstancato1307]

Evynne, I just found you and am so glad! I am a vocalist in an oldies band and am always seeking to improve. I will definitely be using your teaching and techniques. Your videos are so informative! Thanks!

[@runawayqueen349]

THANK YOU this is EXACTLY the video I needed to see! I ALWAYS wondered how singers could achieve those really really high notes without sounding like head voice, I thought I only did not have the register!

[@rihannaimvu8834]

Its still head voice btw

[@withnelandi4569]

Normally I don't listen to singing tutorials on youtube because I've had singing lessons for years and I don't normally find them that helpful. But I started watching this series on your channel because I'm such a big fan of your singing and I'm finding them immensely useful. It's so nice to know that even after years of singing lessons, I can still learn new exercises and discover new things about how to use my voice. Since you asked for suggestions for future videos - how about a video on vibrato? Sometimes mine sounds a bit - thin? I'm not really sure why. Thanks again for the video and I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!

[@HSTS_Mari]

You helped me belt an UGLY G#4, and made F4 easier now, thanks!

[@jeenajoan]

I especially loved the last excercise. So cool. You made me surprise myself. Thank you. I'll definitely will explore some more. Working on a hard song at the moment. I feel more comfortable knowing its possible to do it. :D

[@MionDesukaMusic]

Wow, this was literally exactly the problem I wanted to solve for YEARS! Thank you very much for introducing me to twang, it's soo helpful!

[@macie8916]

I loved the interactiveness of this video!

[@amandawalen3488]

I just want to say that you have and are helping me grow to become better at singing. And I thank you for that.

[@corystajduhar]

I'm always describing this and demonstrating this to people, but now I can refer my female students/friends/family to you. My twang is different than that of a female. Great and concise video.

[@lnoths]

Would twang be okay for musical theater? It seems kind of off for it, more like for pop music than what I would like to do. Although using it for a few notes instead of the entire song seems great.

[@ah3llfire]

Our singing instructor for the school musical got us to use a lot of twang, so I’d say yes

[@sorayamcgarrh8321]

This video was super helpful. I have an audition for Fiddler on the Roof coming up and I can sing high, but belting has always been a struggle of mine. I'll definitely be able to use this technique to try and go for the character I want. Thank you!

[@marionpejon9572]

How refreshing you are! You made me very happy to work my voice! THANK YOU

[@squishy_balls_]

I’m usually a soprano and my voice does get airy when I reach high notes but using this technique helps and imma keep practicing❤️ tysm

[@paulan2598]

no one: not a single soul: every vocal coach always: let the singing be ugly!

[@LauraRam3]

Thanks! So helpful in recovering my voice after some health issues.

[@KGMsc88]

Hi Yvonne, I have been singing for over 20 years, and spending a lot of my time in my head voice as a classical singer. I have ventured into more contemporary material, but it still continued to struggle for years with belting. I am more recently, discovering all of these new techniques hence twang and such. I’m still finding this very very difficult. It is so hard for me as a classical singer, to get over not making pretty sounds. But wanting those sounds, though they are different, to sound just as good as my classical sound.

[@4BeeP]

I am already looking forward to Ashland´s music videos in the future. :D

[@RavenDecorla]

Seriously enjoying these videos. This one in particular struck home as I couldn't really understand how to strengthen some of my higher notes. I'm going to be working on this and fingers crossed that I get there!

[@SunnefaLindMusic]

That was great! I really love these voice lessons, they are so helpful. Can you do a lesson about recording your voice, like how to learn a song or sing along to a backing track? I've come a really long way with my voice since I started watching these, but I feel like I'm missing something. On another note, as much as I love these voice lessons and your music videos, I kinda miss the vlogs with insights into your life, are you planning to bring those back at some point?

[@HaiItsBrii]

You seriously remind me of my choir teacher, and it makes me so happy.

I really like this lesson, while I was taking voice lessons (had my last lesson Wednesday, my parents don't have the money to continue with them) my teacher was always telling me to sing more nasally on the Broadway and pop songs but I'm so used to singing in choir it is really hard for me. When I did this, something just clicked.

I want to thank you very much you are such a good teacher...i tried the duck and cat sound and i was able to feel the vibrations and ive learned more and more using your exercises and warms up to breathe more while singing just really taking in deep breathes and exhaling and working through not starining my voice using twang so i would like to thank you.

[@BoyaEnglishAcademy]

Wow this is what I really want!! I can sing in the soprano reaching F or G but I can't really produce that very powerful sound like you. Thanks very much for teaching us!

[@deegee4041]

Thank you for demonstrating twang in a real song and showing the contrast between twang and non-twang.

[@Guilhermevphmay]

I think your way of teaching is really good, very objective and understandable, I can´t stand when vocal teachers talk too much without practical examples, and you show great ones. What do you think of sirens/glissandos for twanging?
