“does that make sense?” No “Gooood!”

[@mikemuller2192]

I love the way you explain everything. You're the only voice teacher who tackles the psychological parts of singing as well as the technical to form a whole image. I cannot stress how much your advice helps me, but you seem to understand how it feels to be insecure with one's own image/voice on a subconscious level. That takes your advice to a whole new level, and I feel like I can benefit from this a lot. Thanks!

[@MadeleineHarveyVoice]

Thank you so much Mike! This was just so spot on! Yes, I feel that in order to be an artist, we have to understand the entire human experience. Singing for me, isn't about projecting perfection, but embracing all those fears and jumping beyond myself. That whole concept is the reason why voice continues to inspire me. I'm so happy to hear that you are concentrating on this growth within yourself! Thank you so much for sharing this! Totally made my day!

[@mikemuller2192]

About a year ago, I noticed that my voice wasn't really "me". I was singing well, but people who know how to listen really well and can critique voices would tell me I wasn't expressing myself fully. I never really understood how, because I thought I was singing with feeling and it sounded technically good to me. Then one time, I was thinking about how my voice feels trapped so I googled and found your video "Why does your singing voice feel trapped or stuck?". Everything just clicked at once, and I realized how I wasn't really expressing me. I was so insecure about criticism that I just started copying how others sing without making it my own. I took a while to get used to this new feeling of singing through myself, and I know I can do it effortlessly. That's so awesome that it made you feel better about what you do, because you need to know you practically gave someone a voice. As someone who sings, you should know that that's a very precious gift. So thanks again!

[@rashmika9742]

Kayla D. Christine Me too! For me, it's because I spent six years singing first soprano in a choir, and almost never sang chest voice, so I feel more comfortable in head voice.

when i try to go higher i lose sound, and just air comes out, please help.

I also but if you try everyday with in a relax manner as you can. Don't push your voice because it may damage your voice.

You’re probably tensing up. practice faking a yawn and try going into head voice with that open feeling.

[@jdeeken6697]

Love her style and ease of teaching....thanks for being so positive

[@anniemacleod]

I was doing these exercises in the bath and my six-year-old knocked on the door (I thought she was sleeping) and said, "Mommy what's that sound it's really scary!!" She thought it might be a ghost but in all seriousness I absolutely love this channel and Madeleine you have a way of explaining things that I wonder, 'Why hasn't anyone ever explained it to me that way before?' So good!!

[@sorrybel8alat]

YOU DESERVE MORE FOLLOWERS!!!! YOU ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND LOVELY TO WATCH.. THANK YOOOOUUU!!

[@blobblibblab]

Thank you so much, I've sang for more than 10 years now and I have never "felt" my headvoice when teachers were explaining it. My falsetto skill is way too good in making a full sound as well, but I have NEVER been able to connect it to my chest voice. Something always felt off. With your exercise I have for the FIRST TIME accessed my head voice and descended down to my chest voice while staying connected!! Thank you soooo much!!!! I feel like this will open up an entire new world of singing ability for me!

[@stevengrantofthegiftshop1549]

My head voice INSTANTLY got more strength!! When I go into head voice it usually really hurts, but with this I just managed to hit much higher notes so easily!

[@GarbageGirI]

The music teacher I've always wanted, but never had. T^T

[@SunnefaLindMusic]

This was so helpful! I always hear people say "Raise your soft palate" but no one seems to explain how to do that. Now you have and I understand how to activate my head voice a lot better. It is otherwise something I've been avoiding just like you said

[@MinecraftCreepMcTv]

Thank you. A strong head voice is vital when switching through different registers in songs and trying to keep a strong chesty sounding tone.

[@arturarakelyan5984]

[@marianmalone539]

Glad to hear someone who knows the importance of warm ups and such. I quit singing in a choir because I was so frustrated by the chaos and lack of support. The first church choir I ever sang in was run by a guy who was trained and ran us thru all the stuff you talk about so I understand how important it is. I love to sing and hope I can get better by using what you instruct on. thank you

[@eris-wolf]

When i did these exercises, my cat looked at me like i was dying :D :D :D

[@NyaYogaDiary]

Can you do a daily vocal warm up routine? And can you also discuss all the different types of registers and vocal warm ups to help strengthen them? Thanks.

[@MadeleineHarveyVoice]

Sure thing!

6:46 It's 1:01am and I was distracted because I just decided to be distant to leave my love permanently for very important reasons.. He's now on his 8-hr trip to his child to be with her til her 5th birthday and he'll meet the mother of the child for sure. I think it's a wise decision but watching this, I decided to move forward. It's very hard. And that time mark, ^ it definitely helped. ☺ Thank you, coach! I was trying to smile for myself when you came up with that... I love this video.

[@taylorfuller5731]

My choral teacher never talks about this stuff, and this is very helpful!!! Thank you!!

[@GandalfTheSilver]

Wow, I thought this was just nonsense... but I did what she said and I can actually feel the space behind my nose now and the falsetto sound produced is very sharp and controllable. This lady is a sound wizard!

[@geoffstockton]

You are SUCH a good teacher. Incredibly engaging, fun, well spoken and informative. This is my first time seeing any of your lessons but I'm subscribing and about to binge-watch. Truly excellent stuff.

[@Jezzhalo]

I just learned this late last year when I became a part of a singing group, it totally changed my life, think about people who use the upper nasal head voice a lot, one of them is madonna. I sound louder and stronger. it works.

[@jeremyenjaynes9954]

i actually do falsetto when singing... and now i have a hard time to find my chest voice...

[@cleo9370]

Could you do a video in how to do vocal 'breaks' correctly, like sia and many other artists, like demi lavato do for style

[@BlaineFallis]

Great teaching. Instead of showing off how good you are at head voice already, you understand that some folks came here to learn and haven't mastered it yet. I didn't even know it was head voice I was having problems with, but falsetto I thought. I decided to start practicing singing while I drive all around town, but realized my falsetto is weak and needs work. But probably what really needs work is head voice. Thanks Madeleine!

[@rickspyder6159]

Thanks Madeleine ...This is the clearest example ive ever seen of headvoice ...ive been trying this for 35 years and found it 2 years ago...its like riding a bike so stick with it folks..cheers

[@wendygoerl9162]

I was always too busy being an instrumentalist (band, jazz band, and orchestra--different instruments in each) to bother developing my voice in school, so while I can hit my pitches more often than not, I don't even know how to talk about what I do and don't like about my voice. But a lot of people think I can "sing good," so I've been playing with my new mic (which I bought with the intention of narrating audiobooks, of course) and some karaoke downloads. With everyone emphasizing breath and diaphragm breathing, I guess I was trying to sing in chest voice and ended up bobbling back and forth between chest and head voice. After going through this video (and the "How to sing really high" video, which didn't seem to work for me) and actually being conscious of and staying in head voice, my recordings sounded a lot better. Guess it helps to hum a lot and make up societies where people scream through their noses.

[@ridzuanrush]

Can you help me? whenever I put on my headphones I can sing beautifully and with confident but when I go to karaoke or put on instrumental I lost my confidence.Help please!

[@MadeleineHarveyVoice]

There can be a type of tone shock that happens when you are accustomed to hearing yourself through headphones versus amplified through a loud speaker at karaoke. As hard as it is to do, try to record yourself as often as you can. Watch it, or listen to playback and begin to get comfortable with the sound of your own voice. This will really help train your ear to any adjustments that need to be made on the fly. Choose songs that you feel really comfortable with and you know that you can perform them well. This will help anchor a positive experience to performance. When you get comfortable with the song that you're singing, you're totally in control and are free to tell the story. I did make a video about how to fix a nervous voice if you need extra help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqipeoahgJJ2q8k Break a leg!!

[@ridzuanrush]

+Madeleine Harvey watched that video and that's really helped me with my assignment (writing song and present it) mark is still unknown but thanks bae!!

[@parnwonganudroj6485]

The opposite of me. If i sing woth headphones, my vouce will soun 100% worse.

[@loki884]

Never sing with headphones 😂 it’s the worst cuz with headphones on you can’t really hear your voice, the song you’re listening to the singers voice overshadows your voice which make you think you’re singing the right tone and singing flawless, you’re not singing differently at karaoke, you’re singing just the same but it’s what you hear, at karaoke with instrumental only you can hear your voice well
