How To Sing With Distortion - Vocal Distortion Exercises

[@WillPowerCat]

12:38 - this was ‘the’ moment for me. I paused it there and really felt it out. Focusing on that nggg nasal sound right before the bike growl noise. 👍

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Twang, sometimes combined with a bit of nasality (just as in the "nee" syllable) can be extremely helpful for achieving a comfortable and consistent distortion :) I'm happy it worked!

[@xoxsilentrealmxox]

Amazing tutorial!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Thank you! In the comment below video you will find a new tutorial with a bit different approach :)

[@n.a31214]

Can you do a video showcasing Rainer Landfermann's vocals? You've taught me a lot throughout the years and I feel like you could absolutely do it 💯

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hi, thank you for the idea! I have to take a closer look at his technique and figure what and how he does with his voice.

[@jfklmk13447]

Very helpful video ! Thanks a lot for your content mate !

[@sibilaextremevocal]

I am happy that the video was helpful, thanks for the comment!

I już chciałem pisać czemu drugi raz to samo wrzuciłeś 😂😂😂 fajnie że po angielsku też jest, pozdro🤘

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Łatwiej mi nagrać nowy film niż dodać angielskie napisy szczerze powiedziawszy :D

[@Potega_wokalu]

@@sibilaextremevocal pewnie że tak, tym bardziej że Ty masz mało cieńć na filmach czyli wnioskuję że nie ma tu tysiąca wersji, natomiast napisy i ich synchro to już bardzo czasochłonny montaż, na pewno tez jest lepszy odbiór takiego filmu niż napisów, po angielsku mówisz zajebiście wyraźnie i z charakterystycznym flow więc się miło tego słucha, jestem na tak/yes

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Dziękuję! PS W 99% filmów improwizuję, dlatego zwykle potrzeba nagrać dane zagadnienie 4-5 razy zanim wyjdzie dokładnie tak jak chcę, ale tak jak napisałeś - synchronizacja napisów i wcześniejsze ich stworzenie, to już bardziej czasochłonna sprawa i nawet nagrywanie jednego filmiku przez ok. 40 minut i potem szybki montaż zajmują mniej czasu :D

[@countprogon]

Awesome work, yet again!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Thank you!

What if my throat kinda hurts and i get a tendency to cough while doing this? I could do this before but now my throat is starting to hurt, especially the day after! Do you have any tips?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! Cough, discomfort etc. often mean that the technique is forceful and not precise enough. The most common reasons are: 1. Lack of the proper breath support 2. Pushing too hard on the sound 3. Not precise engagement of the false vocal folds and tightening the vocal folds instead 4. Using too much air that irritates the larynx and throat Can you tell a bit more about your experience with vocals? Maybe your voice needs to be better prepared for the kargyraa practice.

[@Liz-iu5lx]

Thank you so much!

Waiting for part 2

still waiting

[@Didan_Official]

It's work thanks my bro

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Awesome, I am happy it works!

[@faselblaDer3te]

Oh man I think this is helping me! My first approaches feel a little tingly and unstable, is that okay? I'm doing a lot of voice checks inbetween and everything seems to be fine.

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! If it means something similiar to tickling, then it can mean that the placement and/ or the breath support requires fixing - those 2 things are often related to each other. It's hard to say what exactly is good or what needs improvement without listening to your vocals. Feel free to send me a recording on email, I will try to do my best to help! [e-mail]

[@faselblaDer3te]

@@sibilaextremevocal Hey Sibila thanks for the reply! I took a long pause from this (lack of time) and just came back to it. Despite the pause I quickly got back into it, and right away I did much better! When I had the tickling sensation again I realised the placement was too high and I fixed that. Now it feels really great actually, like clearing your throat but in a huge way! I'm looking forward to developing an actual kargyraa sound and use that for wellness! Once I get around to it, I'd also love to accept your offer and send in a video of myself practising for you to review! :D

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Clearing my throat like that even a few times in a row burns my throat.

[@sibilaextremevocal]

It might mean that your placement (the source of distortion) is too close to your true vocal folds or you use too much air, or too high volume, or your breath support doesn't work 100% correctly. It might be that you also don't use your false vocal folds, but the epiglottis and the arytenoid cartilages (they create much flatter, constricted, rumbly and lower sound that false chords). It's hard to tell what causes the discomfort without listening to your vocals.

[@Jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Awesome tutorial. Would you consider this false cord distortion?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Thank you! That distortion definitely engages false vocal folds so I think I would call it that way. :)

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Check out a newer, more detailed vocal distortion tutorial, that will be a great addition after practicing with this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHLYmKOhdrN1hcU

What is the tongue supposed to be doing while I practice?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

That's a good question! The most common method (both in classical and "modern" singing) is to keep the tip of the tongue behind the lower teeth (or on the lower teeth if the tongue is very long).

[@Albert-_117]

@@sibilaextremevocal Sweet, got any tips for tongue tension? I have a hard time keeping it relaxed. Thanks!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! It would be good to take a closer look at the position of your tongue when you don't speak, sing or scream. Some people keep the tongue in the same position for rest as they do during the vocal activity and it can create constrictions in the tongue because it can't rest properly. I've found something that can give you few general advices that can help :) www.healthline.com/health/tongue-posture

[@xoxsilentrealmxox]

Is it normal to cough a ton at first?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

If discomfort is only temporary and it's between 1-3/ 10, and it's smaller each time you practice, then it's normal. If it really hurts, burns and the pain lasts for many hours or a few days, it's a sign that something requires fixing - usually it's about the precision of placement of distortion, using properly breath support, avoiding too much air or too high air pressure, avoiding too high or low pitch or too long sounds during first days or weeks of practice. Coughing is usually a sign that the technique isn't precise enough.

[@xoxsilentrealmxox]

@sibilaextremevocal thank you! I'll practise ❤️

[@bahadur667]

isnt it how you do rattle?

[@bahadur667]

omg, its not, i found it in my throat

[@sibilaextremevocal]

If you mean the rattle from CVT, then it's something different. In this case the distortion is created mostly by the false vocal folds and some engagement from the arytenoid cartilages.

[@bahadur667]

@@sibilaextremevocal yes, i found it, but then lost it immediately 😂😂
