How To Find & Use Your Whistle Register & Tones (Massively Expand Your Range! ...Any Voice Type)

[@lyricvideos-musicwithlyric4015]

This video is exactly how Chris guides you in discovering your voice with his course 'Discover your Voice' Sometimes it is the simple things that can make a world of difference. I just finished the "Discover your Voice" Exercises/Videos/Feedback that lives up to the course's title. Notice the course title doesn't have the word "Singing" in it, but it does do what the title says it will do -- providing you the tools to discover your voice. Chris' style of teaching is unique and what makes this path of discovery so eventful. Along this path you will see signs that say "noise" "Goofy" "Mickey Mouse" and "one or two line songs" that brings it all together. There will be a big billboard along this path with the words "Feeling" on it. I can't sum up the course in a few paragraphs, nor can you discover your full potential watching one video. Instead, you are given the necessary criteria to discover your voice, and it's potential over a series of videos, exercises, journaling, comment/feedback (the feedback Chris provided to my comments in itself makes the course worth every penny) while having fun discovering your unique voice. Even though I finished the course, it is always there for me to access if needed. It was truly a journey worth every penny-Thanks Chris.

Is Chris inhaling or exhaling in the demonstration recording by the microphone?

[@connorcampbell5274]

Holy hell. This is utter insanity. I feel blessed by a higher power to have this ability unlocked.

[@mileeye1409]

He's got an amazing singing voice, I guess not everyone is appreciating how really good this guy is

[@darrenmetal3338]

I do, he's hands down the best vocal coach out there. He's going into detail and explains everything in a very easy way plus letting you hear and demonstrating which means that he's taking you through the whole process

i love you Chris, please don't stop teaching us your skills.

[@sevennames6020]

No way. This is the definitive version of Chris Liepe!

[@Trick6666]

Really interesting way to find it, I'm a "natural" whistler, so I did it since I was a kid, I remember I could sing together with Mariah all the time, when my voice changed due to puberty I thought I was going to lose it like most people said I would, but it the difference was that I needed to light up more my tone to reach the notes. I think my highest note ever was a A7, which was probably random since I was trying to sing a Eb7 lol.

[@NonBinaryGayEmo2349]

I watched this and the video; how to properly find the mixed voice; and they were undeniably helpful videos; for me to learn from; about the art of the mixed voice; and the art of whistle tone registry. Thank you; for your very helpful videos. I am currently a Psychology major at Ohio State University. And in between studying for exams; and working on my final papers; for my courses; watching your videos, are the perfect way to keep my mind stimulated, because of the constant retention of newly informative methods; and applying them scientifically. Singing is scientifically; a way to; release emotional tension; from any person; according to psychological science. Thank you again, for your helpful videos. ✌️

[@bularecordz]

This mind-blowing Chris. I was never interested to be able to do this, but now I am. Great teaching as always!

[@chrisliepe]

You can do it! :) Glad it blew your mind... Mine too haha!

[@ahmadsukron2519]

Hi Chris. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used to think that whistle notes are impossible for me to do since I am a bass. Now, I can access as high as F#6 (sustained) and B6 (briefly). I have seen many other tutorials, but only yours works well. Love. Love. Love.

[@shenghanwang6342]

This is the whistle tone tutorial that made the most sense in the 30+ I've watched and tried so far on this topic, inhale and exhale combined. It shows the bad noise we initially make (all i have at this point) and describes the process of progression from there with doable steps. If this is the quality of your teaching then I am buying Will & Elizabeth's course with you for sure. Much appreciated!❤

[@ciberpanque]

I grew up listening to japanese metal, and because of Dir En Grey's vocalist, Kyo (who can exhale whistle scream), a lot of other band's vocalists started emulating this technique. I was very fond of Mejibray, and, at the time, it naturally came to me that it was an inhale sound, to the point that I was able to reproduce it easily. Imagine the shock when I discovered that it was (most of the time) a type of exhaled "scream". Kyo can still do it, along DEVILOOF's vocalist Keisuke, and many others too. It certainly is one of the things that I strive to learn.

[@naseros.]

I did the opposite haha. I started listening to Dir En Grey in high school when I saw them on the family values tour in 2006, and till this day they are my favorite band. I figured out how to do it exhale and I'm just now finding there is a way to do it on an inhale.

[@ciberpanque]

[@jamespaganas7150]

Not only was that an epic moment in that song, but the fact you wanted to demonstrate to others places you solidly in GOAT in my eyes. Brilliant!

[@fenderfox5080]

Crazy Chris, these things you figure out with the human voice is insane. you have a very good ear and your making me listen harder to the vocalists I love and listening to how they get there sounds.

[@S0ulfire84]

OMG it worked! 😮 This is amazing, Chris! Thank you so much for all the wisdom you pour out to the world for free! Whistle register just like you described never made sense to me, but now I tried following along and I just got to hear it for the first time and I was mesmerized. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@billgreen4592]

This is eye opening and really really cool! I have never had a clue as to how to access this part of my voice, but within a few minutes you showed the way! This will be very useful for me! THANKS!

[@bnicolette14]

This technique BLEW MY MIND. I've always been able to do whistles in the traditional approach so I gave this a try expecting it not to work but was so surprised. I also struggle to hit my whistles when summer hits because of allergies and did not expect to be able to hit them using this technique but I did! Granted, I can go way higher using the traditional technique BUT GET THIS I tested my "traditional" whistles after doing a few "inhale whistles" and I was able to access my full range of "traditional" whistles!!!! So this is also a great warmup exercise for whistles. Thank you, love your videos!

[@rnbsteenstar]

I can't seem to get any inhale whistles just the traditional ones.

[@donovangriffith5440]

Wow! I used to play around with this as a kid but when I started taking lessons in high school, the teacher had no clue what I was talking about so I gave up trying to develop the inhale. Thank you for bringing this back full circle for me. This actually worked!!

[@Wallimann]

Three letters dude.. WTF!!!! That was nuts!!

[@tatemcilwain1775]

It’s been ages since I’ve watched one of your videos but you’re such a good singing teacher. This is definitely going to help so much. Thank you.

[@lattelucks4924]

Accidentally discovered my whistle register last night, it had to be in the 6th Octave somewhere, doubt I'll ever actually use it in the context of a song but it was fun, the human voice really is capable of some weird and wonderful things

[@waiifii22]

Bro that final note in the intro.. yes please!! I'm always so enamoured/jealous of female voice for the upper range they have. My time is coming 😎🤣🙌🏼

[@legendaryblaze5297]

Bro the stuff coming out of this man’s mouth is incredible and what’s even more incredible is he’s showing us exactly how to do it

So glad you are enjoying this one! Imagine how in-depth my courses are!

[@ElenaPenalverVocalist]

Man I'm a professional vocalist and I've been teaching technique for years but the whistle voice was kind of a personal challenge. Your inhale technique just changed my life. I'm gonna practice till I get it really well. Thousand thanks 🙏❤️

I have tried various methods and practiced for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have touched the door of whistle tone. And initial attempts have been successful. Thank you very much! !

You're so very welcome! Thank you for the support!

[@JuddTv]

Wow that’s crazy. I found a whistle voice. Not sure I was on key. But I’ve never went that high with my voice before. I can only do it on inhales right now. But I subscribed, and gonna watch the rest of your videos. Took me like 5 tries to get it, and I can’t sing at all. lol. You just gave me hope that I’ll actually learn how to sing

[@allengoodwin7043]

this is a better explanation than any video I've found so far....

[@TheNickJager]

Another great and inspiring video! If this is the first video you have seen from Chris- I will say he is the best musical instructor I have come across out there. His talent for explaining things in a concise, engaging, and relatable way is the key differentiator between him and everyone else. He doesn’t just tell you how he does something, but rather gives you tools to discover what you can do. Most importantly though, he encourages you to find your own unique sound and voice- and to create rather than copy.

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks Nick!

[@angusgallagher6130]

[@DJIncendration]

I am still working on that part.

[@ranjaysalientesramdom_musi5891]

Reverse phonation helps me to obtain my whistle, first I can only hit to D6 when inhaled now my consistent range was F2 up to A#7 (exhaled), I also hit C8 4x while washing dishes haha, thankss!!!

[@ranjaysalientesramdom_musi5891]

I use a tuner to see what notes I'm hitting

[@LexaTerrestrialx]

I accidentally discovered how to do register And would try to remember the sensation. The way you’re describing it is very accurate and also that shrieking tea kettle sound is so satisfying.

[@chrisliepe]

Glad you could relate to it!

[@rumputkusegar1913]

Amazing! Your instruction to reach whistle register is the clearest among other vocal coaches'. Thank you very much.

[@PhilipJoyceMusician]

Holy shizzz. That note in the intro 🤯

[@PhilipJoyceMusician]

I've used inhales for that really fry'd out screechy thing before but never tried to actually hit a specific pitch. Definitely gonna have to experiment with this myself.

[@heshercats4737]

I’ve been waiting on this one Chris! I’ve been trying (without success) to access whistle for years so I could pull of some Patton-esque vocal gymnastics. I haven’t started the video yet, but you’re responsible for helping me crack the code of singing high notes like Chris Cornell, so I have faith that this will be the video that helps me make the breakthrough! Thanks for all you do Chris, you’re seriously the best teacher on KZbin!

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks for watching and enjoying the journey with me!

[@Robin-tt4lo]

Funny thing is, I've been able to do whistle notes for a really long time. I'm a baritone, and I have not yet learned to use mixed voice to gain more range, so basically I can only utilize two different "extremes", if you will. It always catches people off guard.

[@KHEYA123]

WAIT im a high baritone But i struggle to do whistle notess can you have a tip for mee

[@ec7125]

Lol bro you make your teaching fun as hell👍

[@zvonkom]

Hahaha... Crazy stuff! 😄 Just hit high A up there in the 5th octave on the first try. Otherwise I can barely get to E5 when I warm up nicely. This can be totally cool surprise to throw in somewhere unexpected and make everyone WTF!??? 🤪 Curious if I can make it on exhale. Another funny thing to practice and annoy neighbors.

[@yazanah5958]

I can totally relate to what you're saying. This is the same way that got me into whistle notes ... i was just fooling around inhaling notes and also trying to do vocal fries but in high notes , and suddenly i found my self hitting those crazy notes in the song "emotion" 😂😂😂 It's totally worth trying

[@danutdracula]

These are the best tutorials hands down! This is the only time I've ever heard of someone going from death metal to mariah carey. I thought I was the only one. I could whistle on and off in highschool then I hit puberty at 28 and the cracks are annoying as hell but my range opened back up into whistles as well as more bottom end. Breath control and transitions between the registers will be the trickiest part

[@yvettebonilla1607]

😂😂 death metal to Mariah Carey - had me floored

[@RVVNTHESTRVNGE]

This has gotta be the craziest/best video ive seen from you! I didnt even know I could inhale my whistle notes. It came out so strong after a few times thank you for all your out of the box tutorials I appreciate you!!!

[@dbanksey216]

This is great, but it should be added, the ultimate goal is to do this on the exhale eventually, but as you say, your experimenting. Inhaling is a good way to help you develop it initially, and I like your going from outwards to inwards as a way of achieving this.

[@OneMoreLayman]

Chris, you’re so right on the money! My first whistles used to come from C6 to G#6 with vibratto, only by that reverse phonation in vocal fry was I able to control and navigate the pitch up to C8. After Covid, now I’ve inched up back to mid-range whistles. So glad I watched you.

[@chrisliepe]

Wow! Great job on getting back up after Covid!! Glad you enjoyed the video and have unlocked your whistle tones!!

dude, I wasnt able to do it as good as u, yet but I totallt reached a whistle note!! amazing stratergy!!!!

[@sirstevio]

For years i wanted to know what tires was called. I really thought i had damaged my voice when i discovered this many years ago. I only found this after failing to hit a c5 in head voice, i inhaled and got it back in 1990s.. Since then i thought i was wrong. But now I’ve tried again and hit F5, I’ll continue to develop this… thanks

[@skylerstewart]

I accidentally figured this out and you’re right. I can do it on command really well by now. I usually just hold one note and it’s never when singing just randomly but the compression is a lot of pressure that doing it long will fatigue my tonsil area a little so, funny I find your stuff I goof off with and you actually implement it to something useful. 😂

[@megaaa1]

Your genuine curiosity is so contagious! :)

This is why I got enroll in one of his courses because Chris is really unique and what he does. Thanks to his classes I found my voice and before I took some vocal lesson and never went up to G note. After taking Chris’ courses I can reach a C5 natural voice no falsetto. I have a baritone voice.

[@tevildo9383]

This is super impressive, but as someone who comes from and is mostly interested in the world of extreme metal vocals, I wonder how to translate this to exhale screams. I can kind of figured out how to exhale “whistle scream” by using vocal harmonics (so maybe it’s more of a “tea kettle” or “hyper-squeal”, than true whistle tones), but I don’t know if that’s how most extreme vocalist approach it. For anyone interested the kinds of sounds that I’m talking about / vocalists I am able to roughly emulate with this approach, I’d highly recommend you check out the bands Forces, Beyond Deviation, and Nylist.
