Nasality vs Nasal Airflow (SINGING LESSON)

[@emxne_]

let's just appreciate for a moment how much your channel grew in this past months.

[@whatthehell.2317]

emxne seriously. I came here few months ago and I am amazed at the fast growth of this channel.

[@gia9551]

Being here since the old name I’m legit so fucking proud

[@busterb.6074]

[@nadiaa8719]

Righttt I'm prouddd

[@asstroeongdong-min1709]

emxne ikr it changed him for the good too, he was an absolute troll but with a message back then lol

[@adammishan]

Agreed! A lot of people don't realize that a nasal tone is most often the result of a really high larynx position not actually singing through your nose!

[@laurapilawski5409]

Growing up as I was singing, I was told that nasality was such a bad thing. I would try so hard not to do it. Later on I found that, of course, that isn’t true. I’m so glad that you posted this video since there might be others out there who feel the same way. Love love love your channel!

[@sayaco5300]

Boi it's actually amazing how much info you can give in just a short video

[@TheChopstixman]

Im always surprised at how easy it is to understand the concepts and try them out straight away when watching ur vids. Ty so much for this!!

[@rackelnicolee]

This is actually very helpful!! Thank you so much for explaining nasal airflow because I've been confused on it for several years and I've been stuck with a misconception that if you have air flowing out of your nose you sound nasally! Thank you for explaining how that's not always the case and that nasal airflow can actually help!

You finally gave me the answer, which is nasal airflow. Everyone says not to sing through your nose, but you clearly showed the difference between nasality and nasal airflow. Thank you my friend 😊

[@caryselinor4887]

Did anyone else think that when he was talking with no nasal airflow, he kinda sounded like Donald Trump? Probably just me lmao

Tristan has a ton of vids in his arsenal that aren't just reactions and are actually really helpful and thought-provoking. :)

The reaction videos actually are helpful

Tristan pls don't stop doing reaction vids they are so amazing!!! I love all your content 😁

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

Most the reaction vids have at least one lesson in there somewhere. Sometimes more. Not an emotional reaction, a coach reaction video.

[@melodicchocolate2663]

Ohhh shit finally our boy is doing these type of singing videos again!!!! 🔥🔥🔥😍 Now we just need a course or something more affordable than the lessons 😝🙏

[@tristanparedes]

Working on it :D

[@ravinstates8055]

Such an informative video! I grew up with classical training and was always told to sing through our throat only! I’m excited to learn more and expand my vocal ability! Also, to grow from the way I was taught growing up!

[@tristanparedes]

It's such a weird thing for classical singers to teach because it isn't even true, at least according the to research that has been done on the subject. Different vowels require different amounts of it- some have more some have less and some might not have any. But to say that it shouldn't be there are all is just not what the new studies show!

[@ravinstates8055]

I agree! I was always just told that was what you were supposed to do! I’m glad people like you are talking about things like this because it’s very eye opening! At least for some people! Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment :)

[@ravinstates8055]

BASICALLY, watching your videos makes me rethink everything I’ve known lol. You make so much more sense than the people I learned from growing up. Only room to grow!!!

[@zahancorp._]

Tristan thank you so much for this video it helped a lot I never understood when people said he or she sounds nasal when singing but this video helped with my understanding of it and my singing thx again

[@yukinnesugiura9313]

It took me way too long to learn the difference by myself 😂 I was often told in secondary school choir by my instructor that I was ' too nasally ' or ' too airy ' and I was singing with my throat, not my head voice; it took me so much experimenting back then (even till now) to understand how to place my voice properly

[@yukinnesugiura9313]

This video sums up everything and clears up any doubts I had regarding the ' you sound nasal ' thing that I hear a lot - thrown not just to me but a lot of people I've noticed

[@tristanparedes]

Same. I spent so long (years) singing with all of the sound in my mouth and sounded like spongebob. Had no idea how that could be happening since I was doing what all my teachers said- sing with the soft palate lifted so no sound escapes the nose. It's frustrating because the science is there- teachers are just behind on the information because scientists aren't in the business of bringing their knowledge to wider audiences

[@yukinnesugiura9313]

Tristan Paredes And I'm glad I found your channel! The way you explain things to us is so clear and informative, I feel inspired by you to keep on practicing my singing, I hope that someday I will get to pass my knowledge to someone as well ^^

[@natachaseijas2201]

thaaaank u i love yooou I feel like, its so cool because as so many times u have told us theres people out there that spend all that money in so many teachers and stuff, and I just feel like theres this new generation of vocal coachs that are leaving behind unnecessary myths about singing, and its actually working, I watch u and another Mexican vocal teacher here on youtube and every video is so informative u know, theres material everywhere so Im glad we have u Tristan, thank u, Im from Venezuela btw.

[@sailorgrlie]

This is so good to know! I knew a woman when I was a child that had the most nasal voice ever, she sounded whiny and pretty terrible, so I taught myself to sing with my nose plugged so I wouldn't sound like her. 😂 I'm a soprano and sometimes come across as breathy, which isn't my intention. Thank you for explaining that if I allow air through my nose that I won't sound like I'm borderline crying. I know some gets through now but I'm going to allow more and see what kind of a difference that makes. I'm actually singing the National Anthem tonight for a minor league baseball team so you gave the perfect example!

[@tristanparedes]

Good luck tonight! :)

[@NXTHNU.]

Good luck!!!!

[@sailorgrlie]

Thank you! I actually auditioned a few months ago and got put on their list of regulars, so it's my 3rd time. It's a super fun outlet for me because my singing is usually done in the car with the radio or Disney songs around the house with my kids. 😂

[@JESUS-IS-LORD-HALLELUJAH]

I hope these singing lesson videos will become a staple in your account because I think this is exactly what I need to really finally get better. The way you explain things makes sense and is easy to understand. Thanks!

[@neylakuhn1513]

Your videos have helped me out so much this summer! I’m classically and operatically trained despite my want to sing musical theatre/modern music. I’ve never had as much as I do now watching your videos. I love that you explain and demonstrate exactly what you’re talking about and provide real evidence that proves your teaching! Thank you, Tristan!

[@bugaboo2532]

It's interesting seeing and hearing exactly what the nasal airflow I've heard you talk about before is. It's also really interesting to realize that I've just always done that naturally. I've been watching so many of your videos lately, though, and I feel like even in the short time it's already improving my singing, and I think my music director for the musical I'm in has taken notice, so thanks man! You're helping me sound better before opening night!

I really enjoy these types of videos, please keep them coming and teach all the people like me who get confused by this stuff :D Reaction/analysis request: Mamamoo on Immortal Songs! My favourites are delilah, backwoods and love story of a girl. Thanks!

[@jennifering7747]

This is helpful. I grew up singing in choir and was self-taught. I naturally tended to sing in a very classical style, but in my upper register I could feel that my nasal passages were closed and it's always bothered me. My definition of "sounding nasal" was the sound when you pinch your nose and dont allow air through your nasal passageways, so it's bothered me how I can't seem to open it up in my upper register. Inhaling through my nose helps, but I didn't know of any other tricks. Thanks!

[@jasuize]

I really like this way of teaching things where you actually show practical exercise instead of just using fancy words. Thank you! (Also I think it's super important for us who's native language is not english!)

[@FernandaTorrres]

I love this! There is so much I want to understand about my voice and identify the things that change when I do something different every time. Like ''Why this sounds different now? Why I can't hit it? Oh! If I do this I can! What am I doing that is working or not working?'' Your channel has been helping me a lot lately, I make notes and I practice afterwards. Things that I have always wondered but couldn't really ask google in the right way I finally find them here! I am so excited! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love how excited you are while you react and explain videos, you motivate other people. So thank you again!

[@taylorstockwell2124]

This was so helpful! I’ve been trying to learn how to sing now for almost 4 years and Im trying to learn more and more about nasal air flow and all. This was super well explained :)

[@MellowJelly]

Makes sense as to why James Charles sounds flat and has that mouth-airflow only sound. Even when he speaks, he always sounds like he has a plugged nose to me. I don't think he naturally lets air out of his nose. I bet he could be a great singer when he learns this technique! Also I hope you make a vid with him!!

[@jakevox5736]

Hey Tristan! I just want to say thank you for your educational videos and most importantly, your authentic personality. Over this year I've been working on coming out of my shell in the online sense and I've really appreciated your candid personality on camera. I recently started this channel to share my experiences singing over the last several years and give amateur singers some feedback on their vocals. Your videos helped give me the push I needed to share the lessons I've learned along the way. My original idea for the channel was to make song parodies but I decided to change it up and focus on vocal improvement among other things as I feel that's what would best represent my experience. My first video (along this new direction) will be up soon and I'd just like to invite other members of the tristfam to subscribe and be a part of this journey. Thank you all!

[@tiarne_i_think7537]

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Now it makes sense

[@slbunnies]

I recently had septoplasty on my nose, which has affected my nasal air flow, in the sense that I now have some, where before I could not breathe through my nose, and I’m having difficulty learning to sing with this added air. My voice does not sound as strong and your explanation makes more sense to me now. Hitting high notes is new and I have to train myself to use this nasal air flow instead of how I used to have to belt everything. It does seem a lot easier to sing now - other than having to retrain myself to this adjustment. You were very helpful and now I don’t feel as bad about the change in my voice.

[@jessari]

I love how you explain things. I've been trying to stop nasal airflow cuz i thought it was bad in my lower range, but I'm glad it's normal because it's what my body naturally wants to do. more and more I'm seeing that my body knows wtf to do!!! and I need to stop trying so hard lol.

not to be dramatic but I have PTSD from drama-infested musical theatre in high school and it literally turned me off from one of my favorite hobbies ever. Everyone in the department was a snake who judged others for their singing while never being open to criticism while also believing they were the hottest shit in the world if they got a solo in our small town theatre. They bullied me endlessly and I have literally been TRIGGERED by watching other people perform or sing because it just reminded me of these horrible people. I was actually scared to watch your videos when they started being recommended to me, but after I started watching them I realized how down to earth and sweet you are. This video really helped me and makes me believe that I can sing without having to be perfect or meet expectations. Thank you so much for that ❤️❤️

This video is gold!! I’ve had so many voice lessons and this was how I was helped to find my sound.

[@ChebuR]

Oh my god I died at your "reading the research" throwback. Crazy how far you've come. Love all your videos

[@liquid_computer]

This practice is so helpful to me! I've been writing songs for the past year and wondering why they don't sound as good out loud as they do when I sing to myself. For example, when I first recorded a song I wrote called "Butter Knife," I notice that my voice was very shaky and that I was struggling to get through the song because I was singing with my throat. But after re-recording the song while singing with more nasality, I noticed a HUGE difference. My transitions were much smoother and it was much easier for me to sing the chorus.

i think it would be cool if you did a reaction to artists singing with vibrato and without vibrato because i feel like that really changes the strength of the vocals. just a suggestion, love your channel!!

[@xfortunesquex]

Thank you, YES!!! The nasal passages are so, so critical to singing. I don't know if you've read it, but there's an article on The Guardian entitled, "Why do stars like Adele keep losing their voice?". I think they're touching on something huge, there, with how modern vocals have gone very throaty. I'm not a voice teacher in the least, but I started learning opera and was able to sing Der Holle Rache easily. Then I switched teachers to a more advanced level, and learned mixing. It blew out my range entirely, and I'm trying to re-teach myself how I used to sing. Humming is helping, but it's still very frustrating.

[@julian6664]

Classical singers develop what they call 'squillo' which is a bright pingy sound (also called Singers Formant) so that their voices carry. It's basically twang/nasal airflow/whatever you want to call it but in italian... because they're classical singers... gotta be fancy.
