I cough every time on the buzzer

[@sibilaextremevocal]

The urge to cough might be a sign that your vocal folds are working way too hard and there's an extra friction that irritates them. Normally, it shouldn't appear and the level of comfort should be at least on 7/10 (when 10/10 feels like "heaven" and 1/10 means that you feel like you are about to lose your voice). The most common traps causing the discomfort are: 1. Lack or not sufficient work of the breath support, 2. Flexing abs way too hard, 3. Pushing too much air through the throat, 4. Aiming for too loud or too high sound, 5. Tension in the neck, jaw or larynx. You can also try a simpler method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJCuZZejmLBkr8U

[@antal3534]

I had the same problem, you might be using your true cord instead of false vocal cords

[@sibilaextremevocal]

That's true - if your vocal folds work too hard, such sounds will be uncomfortable. Kargyraa is coordinating the engagement of true and false vocal folds but there has to be a balance between their work, otherwise it's easy to create extra tension, friction and discomfort.

[@Nielsfest]

Don't use your lower throat but the upper

[@Pidoprill]

You all should listen to this guy! I'm a 26 year old woman from Sweden who has always wanted to be able to do harsh vocals but never been able to even come close to making any type of scream or distortion happen. Until i watched your videos and started with by learning throat singing. And then that unlocked everything! Now i can do throat singing, sub harmonics, fry screams, false fold screams and I've even been able to make some totally wacky sounds by combining a bunch of techniques to sound unlike anything I've heard online. And that's all because of this guy!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Thank you so much for sharing that story - I am very happy to read about your progress, great job! If you release a song or even just record something during your practice, please let me know, I will gladly listen :)

[@andrewgillon2763]

Sore throat here. 😊 Thank you for your tutorial. You have really helped me to understand how to do the technique. I’ve had more success listening to your pointers than other KZbinrs giving pointers on how to sing this way. Hopefully I will get there one day.

Thanks for the video. Someone on the screaming Reddit recommended Kargyraa to me to help get more tone/remove the breathyness from my False Chord screams. Picked it up quickly over the last few days with your help. Still feels a bit raw in my throat though after doing it. Need some more work. Thanks for the video. Regards, Red.

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Thank you for the comment and feedback! Indeed, kargyraa can help to get rid of the extra air from growl and false chord scream. If this method still feels rough, feel free to try this one, it's a bit less intense approach towards the kargyraa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJCuZZejmLBkr8U What can also help to improve the texture of false chord is practicing with the glottal compression. That's another thing that really helps my students (and my self too): kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4mvk2ODbpZphLs

I practiced exactly the same way 10 years ago :D It reminded me a bit of a way how monks sing but I didn't know the term "throat singing" (not mentioning the "kargyraa" xD) back then.

Hey! Thanks for the tutorial! Can You reccomend any songs for kargyrra beginners to practice on? I know I could try this on any Song but I would like to have a reference! Merci

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello, personally I practice with the first verse of Sad but true by Metallica (a cappella because I am probably out of key as fuck xd). Beside that, I do anything that comes to my mind. It's much easier with the songs that you know. Sometimes I am just talking like a robot

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Awesome! Let me know how it worked :D

[@concerninghobbits5536]

I find if I try the buzzer or like revving a motorcycle that no matter what I do it scratches the bottom area of my throat where I'm generating the sound. Feels like it's constricting the walls together and gets dry and scratchy immediately, reminds me of like how if I screamed as a kid it just tears up my voice and hurts right away. I can get something that sounds and feels kinda right by doing what I've heard from a metal scream video which I think is more of a vocal fry thing? It happens either above or below the spot where I try to make buzzer noises, like if I try to do a groan like getting out of bed, it vibrates really low, and then I can shift that up by going towards the nasal duck sound. So it feels and sounds interesting and it gives a lot of flexibility but I cant do the growl of the buzzer sound without pain. Anything I do that doesn't hurt just makes it not sound like a buzzer anymore

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! The most common traps causing the discomfort are: 1. Lack or not sufficient work of the breath support, 2. Flexing abs way too hard, 3. Pushing too much air through the throat, 4. Aiming for too loud or too high sound, 5. Tension in the neck, jaw or larynx. It's more about precision, not about extreme force or very high air pressure. Here's a tutorial with a different way of getting a vocal distortion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7SomqNfNd6e80 Here's a different way of learning the kargyraa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJCuZZejmLBkr8U The lighter sound you described is called the vocal fry. It's created by the true vocal folds when they vibrate very slow and irregularly. It can be helpful for improving the vocal cord connection (to avoid using too much air while singing), achieving a delicate raspiness for singing or learning the sub-harmonic singing (you create overtones that make you sound like you were singing an octave lower). It won't directly lead to the false cord distortion necessary for producing the kargyraa (kargyraa coordinated the work of the true and false vocal folds).

[@plazima]

It’s because he (the guy in the video) just said that you have to get distortion on the voice, and every human knows how to yell with grit, but the grit that untrained people use is super super bad for your vocals ! What you need to do is learn falsecord vocals with out any kind of makeup over it, a tip is to stick your tongue out and make falsecord noise for consistency. After practicing falsecord sounds for a year you’ll definitely have everything in unlocked already with out you knowing. For high vocal fry check out mixed voice tutorials by crazy singing

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Kargyraa is coordinating the work of true and false vocal folds. Singing with distortion does it as well. Kargyraa has more distortion and false vocal folds are more active. While singing with distortion, the amount of distortion is smaller. If you combine raised voice with a lot of distortion, you get a yell scream (e.g. Slipknot). If you are able to hit the notes with or almost "sing with the scream", you get a pitched scream (e.g. Architects).

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Now I will relate directly to your comment part by part: "It’s because he (the guy in the video) just said that you have to get distortion on the voice" - as I mentioned earlier, and I didn't invent it but it's something discovered by far smarter people than me, the kargyraa coordinates the work of true and false vocal folds. However, it requires a proper technique and precision to do it correctly, otherwise you can create constrictions, too high air pressure etc. that will cause discomfort. " and every human knows how to yell with grit" - first of all, not "every human knows how to do it" because some people are not used to making such sounds or they never made a sound like this. I observe it during lessons and I practiced with over 500 people. Some people need to discover their false vocal folds and it often feels for them abstract, as if they had to unlock a part of their body that they weren't aware of or never used it. Often it's related to their character and mild temper - they don't yell, grunt or make animalistic noises so they require a bit different approach to get a good sounding and comfortable distortion. " the grit that untrained people use is super super bad for your vocals !" - any type of distortion achieved by unhealthy technique will be "super super bad for your vocals", wow. Sometimes it also relates to "trained people" who are professional vocalists, play tours etc. but they were trained in a different field than extreme vocals (e.g. opera or jazz) or they learned how to sing with grit or scream but it's not 100% comfortable, although it sounds good, and they need to repair their technique (usually it's about fixing the precision of placement, breath support resonance and figuring out how much energy and volume is necessary to produce various sounds). I worked with people in such a situation.

[@sibilaextremevocal]

"What you need to do is learn falsecord vocals with out any kind of makeup over it" - if a person aims for learning false chord growl or scream, or "pure false cord distortion", then sure, but if someone aims for singing with distortion or kargyraa, then it's crucial to learn how to coordinate the distortion with the voice. You can learn false chord in the first place, if it was easier or more comfortable, but in the end it's necessary to coordinate the work of the false vocal folds with the true vocal folds in the right proportions. "a tip is to stick your tongue out and make falsecord noise for consistency." - and how to achieve this "falsecord noise"? That's a serious question because I really want to learn something and I have no idea how sticking the tongue out by itself can activate the false cords. If someone tends to tighten or retract the root of the tongue, it might help to stick it out or even hold its tip during the exercise, that's for sure. It's also helpful for singing.

[@phantom.wreath]

Bro what has Dune done to me

[@giuliaingmajor]

So does kargyraa uses nasal cavity as well? I've been trying for a few weeks to throat sing but I feel like I'm stuck on which parts of the throat/palate/? are used 🤔😩

[@sibilaextremevocal]

There are a couple of sources of the overtones, nasal cavity is one of them :) A position of tongue and soft palate also matters.

[@giuliaingmajor]

@@sibilaextremevocal allright, thank you!

[@abigailmurphy5179]

Hi! I've been Tuvan style throat singing for a while, I'm not an expert by any means, but there is a specific style called chalandyk that combined the lowness of Kargyraa, and the overtones of Sygyt. You first get into the Kargyraa, then you almost plug your nose (kind of like how they do certain sounds in the French language, nasally) and you place your tongue towards the top of your mouth.

[@PrinzDerSchatten]

[@danilsp3298]

What if I feel irritation in the throat when trying to add the distortion? :c

[@sibilaextremevocal]

It might mean that: 1. The placement isn't precise enough and instead of using your false vocal folds, you are forcing your true vocal folds, 2. You are trying too hard and there's too high air pressure, too much air or you tighten your abs too hard, 3. Your breath support doesn't work properly which makes your voice box work too hard.
