This video is the second part of a series. You can still learn to throat sing in the khoomei style by watching, but the first video helps building important fundamentals. This video presents an advanced technique involving throat tension. I no longer give lessons, but I do offer remote recording services.

I got lost and learned throat singing

Me too, and now I can do it for fight with depression

You sir are the Jeff Goldblum of throat singing, and I love it.

*Jeff Goldblum* I could not think of his name. He sounds strikingly similar to Jeff.

I am truly amazed by this man. I have nothing of a singer, but I learned it in litteraly one hour. I am trying to learn extreme vocal technics for metal screaming and I have to learn Central Asia throat singing for it. This video and your explanations are truly amazing.

[@gaomu4376]

Don't be so hard on yourself Alex, your past video helped our harmonic choir dive into the nature of the vowels and their intervals. Very much appreciate it, and this one even more!!! Thank you from Mexico 🌞

[@Lenyberry]

I definitely have had an easier time figuring out the kargyraa voice than the khoomei sound. I suspect having already learned false-cord death growl helped with that, the learning curve was more in getting false and true cords to start up at the same time instead of switching between one or the other. Khoomei's been giving me a lot more of a challenge to find how to produce the sound and be able to do it even semi-consistently.

[@JamesGuyton-kd7du]

I first found my home throat singing by listening and singing Norse metal, try singing to Patton Parish, and check out that bass voice

[@pyrosketcher1490]

Thank you for this! It quite literally made my day when I saw that you published another video. Please don't stop, your work is needed in these challenging times.

[@Glenfuch]

That helps me. Knowing someone is listening is motivation to continue in this time or eerie silence.

You're an awesome artist. Greetings from Mexico.

I like to make art that bounces off of, rather than hangs, on your walls. Thank you!

this actually taught me both Khoomei and Kargyraa Thank you so much

I must say to you, if it wasn't for you, my throat singing techniches wouldn't go so far. You made everything so clear with this video! I look forward to see more of it! Cheers from Brazil

Eae mano, tudo bem? você pode me ajudar com o khoomei? Não estou conseguindo evoluir

[@BahiaGamerful]

@@ApenaUmCanal opa eai, posso tentar, no que você tá tendo dificuldade?

[@ApenaUmCanal]

@@BahiaGamerful em tudo kkkkkkkkk eu até consigo reproduzir overtones, da até pra ouvir o "assobio", porém o khoomei em si não consigo avançar, não sei oq fazer.

[@BahiaGamerful]

@@ApenaUmCanal tenta fazer o exercício que ele passa de apenas respirar e tentar "fechar" sua garganta, impedindo que o ar passe, você tem que aprender a controlar, o som vem dali. Tenta projetar o som na sua garganta, é difícil de explicar, mas é como se você controlasse sua garganta fechando ela mas não totalmente. Sou ruim pra explicar mas tb to começando kkkk, seria legal se a gente de ajudar, você tem algum outro app que possamos conversar?

Hi Alex, I’ve been listening to you for about a few years now. And I just wanna say that you are one of the best throat/overtone singers ever.

[@dardhadard837]

Oh my God I'm learning so much from this channel. Overtone singing is improving at least every 2 days, thank you Alex ❤

[@borodaITEM]

The most detailed guide i’ve meet! Thanks so much! Khoomei is difficult for me for some reason. This video helped me to understand the technic

[@tomlikesunicorns]

You are so funny and educational and spiritual and all delivered so deadpan - I love these videos!!

[@idanyechieli]

Thanks so much Alex! This is great! Looking forward to more (:

[@sui_tea]

You are such a good teacher, I learned so fast with your instructions. Not only this, but also overtone singing.

[@LowryYT]

i love this guy and its all free, mad respecc

[@klownck]

Hey alex, the whisper action finally made me get a good kargyyra sound for the first time properly in years. The way i used to do it was the same action as clearing the throat but this version seems to be much better as i could feel the reverberation in my larynx in the false vocal folds. I want to say thank you wholeheartedly from Scotland, ive been a subscriber since i found your 7 styles of overtone singing video and i have been enamoured with overtone and throat singing since 14 (im 32 now!) big love

[@slipkorn420]

You have aged so well. Evolution with music :)

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

I agree, music makes us young lol people never guess my age right lol.

[@alecpayne18]

This is a wealth of knowledge, thanks so much. The first video was great! It was the perfect introduction!

[@9thMonk]

Nobody else explores and explains throat singing quite the same way you do. I started a year or so ago myself, and your instructions helped a lot. Great to see new uploads... Thanks!

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

I agree you put yourself down, all I do is watch music lessons here and you are great, also, this is out of my comfort zone but that's why I am loving it!

[@zabbycat22]

Thank you for continuing to post these videos... .ive watched this one in particular 3 times now, while i work, and do farm work. Keep singing, i learn so much from you. I intend to use these styles in performance art soon in the future. You will rise above the ashes like the mighty phoenix. Thank you for all you teach ~

[@adamlewis2654]

Thank you so much. I have been practicing throat singing for 2 years now and after watching your video it helped me refine and I achieved khoomei. 😁

[@Godzilva]

The best video about khoomei voice I've seen so far. Also it's such a lovely personality you have. Thank you from the bottom of my diaphragm!

Looking forward to hearing you in Bill & Ted!

[@nexus_metal_covers9360]

This really put this style in perspective for me. I mastered kagyyra ages ago, and even with that knowledge I couldnt get the overtone as loud as I've gotten it now.

[@angelaleithner]

love your idea about life and daring to live!

[@flowarius]

Just big thank you!! I saw it twice with note this time, and I think we earn a lot of years of theory and practice with your "how To throat sing" 🙏

[@jacobread9650]

i really like your presentation style. its very easy to follow and interesting. this has really helped my "normal" singing as well.

[@MrSeedi76]

Yours are the best throat-singing tutorials I found so far on KZbin! Thanks so much! Interesting that you mentioned you had Covid. I had the idea of learning throat singing (actually I wanted to learn it about 20 yrs ago but never got very far -- no YT-tutorials back then but there were books about it) when I had Corona and my voice got so low because of the cough. So I was lying in bed being ill and doing my first tries with throat singing.

[@wisco9er536]

I'm not thinking about trying this anytime soon (only 19 in Chicago), but I love the way you describe this art style and your grand passion behind it. Made me watch the entire video. Fascinating.

[@helenaisReal]

I watched the first video and I was able to produce overtone right away I was soooo excited. You explained it all perfectly, thank you 🙏

Fantastic video, so instructive. And I loved your previous one! I have been religiously practising my vowel changes since it came out. I can't WAIT for your next video. The feeling of an unsteady Khoomei emanating from ME is giving me great pleasure. I fell in love with Ezenggileer in particular after watching your 10 year old video. Thank you SO much!

[@ryangreen1588]

Thank you very much dear sir. Great detail and sense of humour!

[@shadowbody]

Super grateful for this. Also, very wise thoughts on life, and yes, it took much, much more effort for me to feel Khoomei than Kargyra.

[@user-im8us5zl7v]

Been trying to learn throat singing for years, this is by far the most informative video I had ever seen, I am even able to do Khoomei comfortably now after a few times practicing, not good at it but I can do it now, now onto the other styles, thanks!

[@antoinegianelli9508]

I'm happy to find this now 🙏 I just watched your Sygit video yesterday and it will really help me i think because it's so detailed and your philosophy of it open up new doors !! I bought a masterclass that barely taught me anything, just to understand the basics, but you have to learn the rest just by yourself and it took me time, but now I found you to go deeper into it ❤️🥰 I'm grateful for that, and thank for those video 🙏

[@ToTehThird]

This is one of the best vocal explanation coaching sessions that have ever been recorded. Much like overtone singing, ones who are listening clearly can hear the true lesson being shared. Many thanks - G.

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

[@northerngothic]

Thank you very much for these videos. I couldn’t find much guide and your videos are so helpful and I love the way you narrate, like a Jeff goldblum sage. I accidentally slip in to Kagyra no problem but the Khoomei eluded me so much. This is very helpful!

[@Noctarilfate]

This is super helpful! I think you've done a good job at explaining this. And while I certainly don't feel that you should apologize for your last video, I agree that this one is better. Making KZbin videos is a very difficult thing to nail down, so I hope you continue to make more. In my opinion, your expertise in throat singing overshadows any minor awkwardness in the videos.

[@Glenfuch]

Thank you, and I'll keep delivering as long as I have goods to deliver.

[@firedog2820]

I think the first video was great too! I kinda jumped ahead and strained my glottis but that video taught me some safer techniques to build up to it. Been playing jaw harp for about 5 months and now I'm keen to learn some throat singing

[@sjaguarzin]

Thank you Alex! Santiago, Plano TX

[@joabaldwin]

Incredibly helpful, thanks for this tutorial. I've managed to make and hold all the sounds but never nailed a base to start with, so they become rather unpredictable and hard to reproduce in the same way. With just a few minutes of the whisper base and the visuals of the teeth and tongue positions, I'm getting a lot more comfortable with it.

[@timothymorrisii7165]

I thought I figured out where this sound came from in my own voice and was afraid I was using the wrong part of my anatomy to make it. This is an excellent description and demonstration of what is going on, and has shown me that I am doing it correctly. You sir, have a new subscriber.

Feel like I need to quit smoking if I'm going to get very far with throat singing though....Going to go for a nature walk later and really let loose and try out some of the stuff from this video...I doubt the birds will gather...but mainly so I don't end up evicted in the meantime. You are an inspiration! Thank you so much for these videos!!!!

[@bobbatheblade]

man, i followed your channel when you spoke about the ocean in your throat and you actually mad me laugh at the " beginning of vocalisation " in your moaning. But what i appreciate the most is the fact that you give such a positive vibe about practising and encourage to let go of internal and external judgements. I have a hard time practising, just bc im afraid anyone could hear it and unlike it. You made me actually take some risk in life. Thank you.
