Kargyraa Throat Singing Tutorial - The Most Simple Way

Here you have some simple way of how to learn and develop your kargyraa (throat singing) technique!
0. How I've learnt the kargyraa (unconventional way :D) and some basic tips
1. Find the grit! 1:51
2. Sustain the grit (a motorboat exercise) 3:35
3. Learn basic overtones 5:53
4. Combining distortion with overtones to get the kargyraa 9:31
#Kargyraa is using both our true vocal folds (we engage for singing) and false vocal folds (we use for screaming) and because of that it's getting very popular among extreme vocalists around the world who want to learn to scream and sing with distortion or to improve their vocal technique.
#ThroatSinging helps us to find the proper placement for the distortion which is a fundamental step while learning any extreme vocal technique like Fry Scream, False Cord or singing with Grit.
In upcoming weeks I will upload videos about how you can use the kargyraa to learn the fry scream and false cord.
P.S. To learn how to sing with the distortion skip the 3rd step and follow the 1st and 2nd step (distortion is like throat singing without overtones).

Do you want to learn how to Scream, Growl or sing with Distortion from scratch without destroying your voice and wasting time (and nerves) for an ineffective practice?
Or maybe you are already able to scream but you look for ways of taking your vocals to the next level, for example by learning new "tricks" and getting rid of unhealthy habits?
If the answer to any of those questions is "Yes", than check out the Complete Guide To Extreme Vocals - a course that will lead step-by-step you through the world of extreme vocal techniques like Fry Scream, False Chord, Distortion, Gutturals, and more!
Beside the extreme vocals, you will also build a solid and healthy technical foundation so your voice would grow safe and faster - effective breathing technique and posture, dynamic breath support and properly set voice (opened throat, lack of unnecessary constrictions, good resonance).
There are also other helpful tools like exercises for finding and developing your vocal range - over 7 hours of materials with a lifetime access (no subscription bullsh*t)!

[@jonathansanders3577]

The revving up thing is really helpful. It's useful for finding the sound without hurting my throat, and then holding it when I find it. Previously I was doing a more physically aggressive and tight motion each time I'd try to start kargyraa, and it was damaging my vocal folds more so I had to take more breaks. This is a much gentler way to get the distortion started.

Absolutely amazing video man. I've been trying to figure out how to get distortion from my upper vocal tract and just not getting it for like a year now. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to feel like, making sound and manipulating the tone of it without true fold interaction. Then I discovered Will Ramos and added a new legend to the list, and found out he worked on Turan throat singing, which brought me here. This so quickly cleared up what it feels like to have sound modified by each section of the vocal tract independently and collectively. Thanks so much!

[@nathanielkile6258]

I first became interested in throat singing as a mere child in 2003 because of some of the music in the PS2 game "Siren" (Also known as Forbidden Siren) I was actually listening to the song tonight and decided to search tutorials. I watched two or three other video's but kept eyeballing this one every time they were over. I can not practice at this particular moment because it's 3:00 in the morning and there's a couple rooms beside mine with people sleeping. I'm also very shy and quiet as a mouse, but I plan to practice more when nobody is around, or while driving. Heck I may even try to find some walking trails around the lake here and give it my best. You have helped me comprehend what I need to do with my vocals unlike any other video I've seen yet. You come off as a very well mannered, kind hearted individual whom loves to help people for the sakes of helping, and education. Never let your light burn out. You've got an amazing personality and energy. Your aura is projecting with a bright iridescence. I can see it with my inner spirit. Kick ass hair bro, and the "Yaaayyy!" made me smile, then the quick party blower made me instantly laugh and cover my mouth so I didn't wake anyone. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 10/10 You're a hell of a good vibe. I hope life is treating you with a good, gentle kindness. (That goes to all other's as well.) Love, peace, and good energy from the U.S. state known for our corn fields. ❤✌😊

Thank you so much man! I have watched other peoples videos, and tried a few times to learn throat singing, but never been able to get that sound. I watch your video yesterday and followed instruction. I could do the motorbike sound a little bit, but only for a few seconds, then it would hurt my throat, and make me cough. I try again today, and it just worked! I was able to get it going, and rev it up and no pain at all! I then apply it to my 'AUM' and it sounds great! Thank you so much! Great lesson!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

That's why it's good to play around and experiment, awesome!

[@jooojas]

I discovered it by accident too! For me it was the final note in the chorus of Mars for the Rich by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - the whole album (Infest the Rats' Nest) is sung in a raspy style instead of Stu's usual clean and light vocals, so I practiced my rasp along with it. That low note was difficult to get right, so I kept practicing and eventually killed two birds!

@@sibilaextremevocal thanks bro, subharmonic is like frying and making chest voice at same time, kargyraa would be like clearing the throat and making chest voice at same time, don't know if you have a subharmonic video but it would be cool, it took me some months to get a little subharmonic sound, it's difficult to find it at the beginning

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Subharmonic is a tricky thing in the beginning. For me the most simple way is to begin with the vocal fry, then play a note on the piano (or virtual piano) and then start to add the clean voice to hit the note. Usually my subharmonic begins around D2 or C2 and I just do the vocal fry, play the note and try to add just a little of my clean voice to kind of tune to hit the note while trying to stay relaxed as much as it's necessary to stay in tune and sustain the subharmonic.

Dude, you are an excellent teacher! I have watched quite a few videos on throat singing, but this one of yours is the most simple, straightforward , and helpful one that I've seen. You're so generous with your time and knowledge. Thankyou! 🙌 * EDITED after reading your helpful and detailed responses to similar questions in the comments section! So I have only one question now ( which you may not even see due to this video being 2 years old) : So, I am having a problem keeping the sound in the right location. Last night i somehow did it really easily, and it didn't even tickle my throat that much. I was able to sustain the sound for longer, and even somehow managed to (accidentally) get some overtones happening ...but i have no fucking idea how i did it! 😅...today I am struggling to keep it in the correct location! It doesn't hurt, or sound too breathy...but it's very tickly, and after a minute or so of practice i cough up phlegm ( sorry for the TMI, lol). I wish i knew what the magic secret was last night!! ( * It might be that I'm not supporting my breath properly? OR perhaps it's partly due to me not doing any vocal warm ups today...quite stupid of me! Last night I'd been doing some normal undistorted "clean" singing before hand...and also some polyphonic overtone singing practice, so that likely would have made a difference). Maybe I'm just trying to do too much too soon? (I do tend to be pretty impatient when there's something new and exciting when I want to learn🙃) Anyway, thanks so much ( even if you don't see my comment). I have subscribed, and will watch more and keep practicing. Cheers from Australia! ✨

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello, thank you so much for such a positive feedback - I appreciate it a lot! I think that your singing warm up could be one od the factors that helped you sound and feel better during your previous practice. Tickles are a sign of irritation and discomfort so even if it doesn't hurt, there something to fix in your technique. Warm-up can be one of those things but another one might be a proper support (as you mentioned) or more precise placement of the distortion. Everything is related, for example it's easier to activate the right place for creating the distortion when you properly support the sound you make. Being warmed up helps to activate the support and engage different areas of the larynx with greater ease because of flexibility and mobility that are increaed after a good warm up. Thank you for the subscribtion! PS Feel free to send me a recording of your practice. It will be easier to tell what is already good in your technique and what might need improvement. [e-mail]

[@VadimKirilchuk]

It would be nice if you can make a video how to get rid of too much breathiness or too much tension for this technique. It's all about perfect control of false folds. When I do the technique I can sometimes feel that little extra breath causing itchiness in the throat, and it's not that much of an air. Sometimes I am in the perfect spot though, so I just keep building the control. Still the tips from grandmaster can be useful to build it faster..

[@sibilaextremevocal]

I think I understand what you mean with that "little extra breath". Working with twang can be really helpful for learning how to avoid leaking air while doing those types (and any type) of vocals. Twang is compressing the sound, making it sharper. The sound is also closer to the higher resonators (sinuses, area of forehead, soft palate) which makes it lighter and much more efortless, it also helps to get the right spot for making the kargyraa.

[@JamesTheKoopaTroopa]

My family was very confused and concerned with he weird noises coming from my room while I practiced this :D

[@FranciscoDelaveau]

sup man! thanks for your video! i'm currently trying to get fry with false cord activation + arytenoids. now, i can do false cord screams so i know how to activate my false cords, but when i try the cough, i'm almost pretty sure that what i'm activating is epiglottis (like slam technique). do you have any idea on how i can tell the difference?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

False folds + fry is a killer combo :D Coughing is pretty extreme thing to do, for me it's too harsh and doesn't deliver the proper placement. Clearing of the throat while using the support is much more precise and efortless (if done properly, too much force or too much air or lack of the support will do no good). From what I feel and hear, epiglottis gives more rough and not so "smooth" sound as false cord. If the sound is "lumpy", kind of a "creaky" and harsh at the same time, it's more like epiglottis, false cors is smoother (not as smooth as fry scream but smoother than epiglottis), it also requires lesser effort and for me more comfortable.

[@s7ezy]

if I feel my throat it helps me shift where I'm making thr sound from

[@bruceU]

Having trouble producing the overtones with the throat sound at the same time but I could do it with a normal tone. I am a bit congested tho

[@goodsolonius7305]

Before I hit puberty I couldn't scream no matter how hard I tried but then my voice dropped and it was possible. I've also learned that yeah practicing a lot will make you sound better. If I hadn't screamed at all for months then I started to sound a lot worse.... but keep in mind that yes screaming too hard too much will f*ck up your voice, starting with coughing like a chain smoker whenever you try to scream. You have to let your vocal chords recover don't go the way of m shadows

[@sibilaextremevocal]

That's interesting, usually people tell me that it was much easier to scream before the voice mutation and they lost it or it started to be inconsistent, more difficult and sometimes even uncomfortable once it finished. I don't have any experience with that because I started to do vocals when I was almost 18 years old (my voice wasn't as flexible as in case of my 15 years old students :/ ). About the practice and progress - it might be a bit like working out at the gym. After having a couple of weeks or especially months of break, training becomes harder and lifting the same weights as before the break might be very difficult and sometimes even impossible throughout the first days or weeks after the break. That's why it's important to gradually build up the power of vocals after getting back to it after a longer break.

[@ChrisF_1982]

i think I have the concept of this down before even watching the video, but it seems very similar to how you would approach higher range, multi-phonic or split tones on wind instruments. Plus I kind of intuitively thought of the relationship and just started seemingly do it while lying in bed.

When I do this I usually feel it on the right side of my adam's apple than the left. If I turn my head I sometimes get it on left but then as I move it may go back and forth? Is it normal to only get in on one side vs. both evenly? I wonder if something in my throat structure is unbalanced. EDIT: I just got it on both sides evenly and it was the best feeling, sound, resonance... but it's hit or miss for me to get it on both vs. one side or other. Hopefully I can get past this complication with more practice.

Hi! Vocals are mostly about balance, so it's great you managed to bring that sensation equally to the both sides. It's good to observe if the support works correctly or maybe if we compensate too little support with muscles in our neck or throat. It's very common that when we use muscles in neck or throat, there is a tension only on one side of the throat/ larynx or neck. For some people it's a little discomfort, for some it's painful, but for some it feels neutral. No matter if it feels good or not, such tension is not a healthy thing so you can observe if you feel that you compensate the breath support with your throat or neck. If not, then awesome, if you feel too much tension, especially on one side of your throat/ neck, then you can focus more on engaging your breath support.

@@sibilaextremevocal I practiced a lot more yesterday and the problem mostly went away. A good exercise was doing false cord in staccato and also humming a vowel clean and activating false cords over it on and off in order to get the muscle memory down. It helped with my activation and has made it more balanced.

I feel tingling in my throat and i cough everytime

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Then it can mean that: 1. The source of distortion is not precise enough, 2. You push too hard from your throat or chest (too much air or too high air pressure), 3. The breath support needs improvement. It would be easier to tell what exactly is going on if I had a chance to listen to your vocals. If you want to, we can practice that.

I can do false chord but my question is What minor tweak do you make from false chord to fry? Like how to go from false to fry

[@sibilaextremevocal]

The biggest difference is the engagement of the true vocal folds - while fry screaming they connect a bit more and they are responsible for the fry distortion. False chord distortion is created by the false vocal folds so technically those are two different mechanics. Kargyraa can be useful both for learning fry scream and false chord because it's like in the center between each of the techniques (distortion for singing, fry scream, false chord can be learnt by using throat singing in different ways, changing the proportions between how your true or false vocal folds engage). Here's a tutorial about using kargyraa for learning fry scream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d33Lip2Kdth5q9E Here's another video that can be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2GmdKp4gtynpac&t There are more videos, actually a whole playlist dedicated only to fry scream so in case if you needed more exercises, feel free to check it out!

Thanks for the video. Is it normal that I have the urge to cough, when i try to find the grit? Have a nice day!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! Urge to cough means that something got irritated, probably vocal folds and/ or the area few cm below the larynx. It usually happens when: 1. We aim for too loud or intense sound, 2. Breath support is not engaged enough, 3. The placement for the distortion isn't precise. Sometimes all of those things are present at the same time. It's important to do even a basic warm up to set the voice and get ready for heavuer stuff like finding the distortion. Feel free to check out the video called Metal Vocals Warm-up Part 2 on this channel. There are some useful exercises I do everyday to warm up my voice and to keep it healthy.

Maybe someone here can help me: I have been practising for weeks now and I can't get the vibration done. :( It is really frustrating to read comments like: "It took me five minutes". I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I can't even get past the "engine rev'ing"-level. If I clear my throat I just get this short burst of vibrations but I cannot "play" with it. If someone could help me I'd appreciate it, I really want to learn this technique.

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hi! Some people learn it a little bit longer and that's totally normal. Usually those who have experience in singing with distortion or using false chord technique learn kargyraa much faster than others but still there are many people who need even few months to nail it, and that's ok. Do you have any recording? If so, feel free to send me it on email - [e-mail] - I'll do my best to help!

[@darthbogan2086]

Been trying this technique for several days and each time my throat is irritated. It dries out and I can't seem to get it moisturized filter out the day it burns. Sometimes I do it a little bit before I go to sleep it's usually irritated or something is swollen I don't do it for very long sometimes even in the shower. Is it normal for your throat to be irritated or kind of sore when you first start practicing this style of singing. Am I doing this right or is it basically a conditioning of The Voice and it will eventually go away? Thank you so much for your time really enjoyed your tutorial

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! From what you wrote, it seems like the discomfort is more intense than in case when voice needs some time and practice to adapt to the new skills and sounds. Sometimes doing a correct sound but with too high intensity too early also makes it uncomfortable. To tell what exactly is happening and if your technique is correct, it would be necessary to listen to your attempts. Feel free to send me a short recording on email - [e-mail], I will do my best to help!

[@nightshade7240]

Is there a difference between kargyraa and sygyt? Is it the position of the tongue and the way you achieve overtone, is it the method of projection or are they the same thing with different names?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hi! Maybe I am wrong, but from what I've learnt sygyt has more higher, "whistling-like" frequencies and kargyraa is deeper and more "growly", it has more of the lower frequencies than sygyt (especially dag kargyraa that I present in this tutorial).

[@GioTrev_]

So I'm trying to learn false chords screaming and I read that some people suggested learning kargyraa first so here I am. It's my first day trying, is it normal to feel a rasp sensation in my throat? Not pain, just a little discomforst and raspy sensation

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Here are the most common causes: 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. It's hard to tell what relates to your situation or if there's something else without hearing your attempts.

I have Nodules on my vocal chords because of scar tissue Is there anyway it would be different for me because I try to sing viking chants and something just feels off I can't quite put my finger on what it is?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! Personally, I would visit the phoniatrist and ask about possibilities for getting rid of the nodules (if they are soft, a vocal rehab can help, otherwise it may require a surgery). Doing vocals, especially heavier ones, while having nodules can be dangerous for the voice.

[@dabsofreality2719]

I enjoyed your tutorial, but after practicing for the first time I’m experienced an inflamed ulvulva, it’s like a sore throat but higher, which clearly means my technique was wrong, although I felt like I was following everything correct. I’m also learning to learn for 1.5 years so I know breath support. What are some things to really pay attention to? I guess one thing would be to take it slower and bring awareness to my throat to make sure no pain or tingling is there. I didn’t really feel much when I was practicing but perhaps I went too hard too fast? 🤔

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! Inflamation in the area of uvula can mean a couple of things. Check if any of those might be related to your practice: 1. Too high intensity too early (specific tissues have to gradually adapt for enduring making different sounds and noises) or too high intensity overall (it would be uncomfortable even if you had enough experience), 2. Too high placement for the distortion, 3. Aiming for too loud or too high pitched of kargyraa, 4. Mix of everything. Once the voice finds a proper position for the resonance and distortion, it turns out that kargyraa doesn't require as much effort as it may seem in the beginning.

[@dabsofreality2719]

@@sibilaextremevocal Thanks bro. I was thinking it was good to have it at a higher placement and away from my larynx so was actively trying to push the resonance further forward. Also, I have no experience with this, so I probably always did a little too much. Appreciate your very detailed response. I'll be getting your course shortly!

Everytime I do it with my mouth closed most of the air escapes from my nose, is it supposed to be like that? Or should all the air pressure go to the false chord out?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

What works for me and some of my students is to direct the sound behind the upper front teeth or between the area of hard palate and upper front teeth. It's an old "resonance trick" that I learnt from classical singing lessons. It helps to improve the "focus" of the sound. You can try it out firstly with clean voice and "mmm" or "nnn" sound with closed mouth. Here is an example: drive.google.com/file/d/1iftjwJN91Wg8JNErW53K_gxsFCa2i0hd/view?usp=sharing

Not good! There are at least 2 options - that method is not the best for your voice (sometimes when I practice with my students, we need to try 4 or even 6 different methods before they are able to do the fry noise or fry scream) or there is maybe even one detail that determines the lack of success. Feel free to send me your attempts for the fry with this or any other method, of course if you want to. I will gladly listen and do my best to give you a valuable feedback! My email is [e-mail]

Hi, I have a problem when I try to go lower with kargyraa, my natural speaking voice is pretty low and I think I can belt to about a D2 or C2 but can't seem to do it properly even in my speaking voice, it transitions automatically to a scream or an animalistic growl. I think my cord closure becomes a bit sloppy. Feels like I need to go a little higher than my normal voice for it to work smoothly. Any tips for that ?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hi! Do you have any recording? You can send me on the same email as previously. Belting C2 is quite impressive! For me kargyraa is easier when I perform it in mid or mid-low part of the voice, usually c3 (c2 overtone is created) or b2 (b1 overtone is created). When I go lower, for example to a2 or g2, kargyraa starts to "collapse" and it sounds like something between a growl and throat singing.

Hello! There are multiple probabilities: 1. The source of distortion is not precise enough, 2. You push too hard from your throat or chest (too much air or too high air pressure), 3. The breath support needs improvement. 4. Maybe your voice needs a better singing warm up. 5. There are constrictions in your jaw, root of the tongue or epiglottis etc. and they cause the discomfort.

I feel the gentle discomfort in my throat when I do the “clearing your throat” exercise. If I keep practicing this everyday will the discomfort go away due to strengthening of the muscle?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

Hello! Pain is a clear signal that there is something important to fix in your technqiue: 1. Breathing (shallow breathing creates extra pressure on the vocal folds) 2. Posture - bad posture makes breathing shallow and creates extra tension in the whole body which lowers the quality and comfort of vocals 3. Constrictions - tight jaw = extra tension in the larynx 4. The breath support is not coordinated with the voice which shortly means that your attempts depend too much on the pressure and tension in your throat instead of being balanced with your deeper/ breathing muscles Can you send a recording on email?

How do you keep your throat so relaxed? My adam's apple jumps up as soon as i sing or practice this throat singing but yours stays in place and doesn't go up at all!

[@sibilaextremevocal]

What helped me to avoid extra movements of my larynx was to practice a lot with yawning (while yawning larynx moves down a bit, practicing ability to hold it in a lowered position without any extra tension (and without moving your tongue backwards) can help to learn how to not move your larynx while singing and screaming). Beside that I was also trying to be mindful of sustaining my larynx in a stable position while performing singing exercises. I think that's a very common thing that larynx moves suddenly higher and it can be prevented also by making sure your properly breathe and use the breath support - without that it's easy to compensate the lacks in technique by tightening the larynx much more which makes it move higher. There is also something called "twang": cvtresearch.com/description-of-twang/ For many people it's pretty helpful for learning the kargyraa and singing with distortion. While using twang larynx can move slightly higher and that's normal so maybe it's not necessarily about lacks in your technique but using the twang - it's hard to tell without hearing your attempts for the kargyraa :D If you have any recordings, feel free to send me them on email - [e-mail] - I will do my best to help :)

[@spietato4990]

@@sibilaextremevocal amazing and detailed reply! I was trying the yawning technique and i have to say the larynx stays very low and doesn't go up. The problem is i sound like I'm yawning ahah. I researched and many people say "if you lower your larynx and you sound like you are yawning/weird then you can not sing", is it true? Am i doomed?

[@sibilaextremevocal]

That's a strange diagnosis. Yawning is just an exercise to warm up voice, stretch the vocal tract and become more conscious about the position of the soft palate and larynx to avoid their unnecessary movements and constrictions. While yawning it's very important to not move the root of tongue backwards because then yawning will do more harm than good. It's cool you can sustain your larynx in a stable position, that means your muscles are strong enough to avoid lifting the larynx while singing. In that case it's mostly about learning how to keep the larynx in a stable and comfortable position while performing exercises etc.
