[@laurieellington163]

As a voice teacher, I have often said to my students, "I wish I could show you what is going on inside...I wish I could bisect my body so you could see the mechanics." And BOOM. Here it is. Thank you!

[@lisaguertin77]

This is truly amazing 🌟

[@strawbso]

I’m trying to get better at singing, and I’m a very visual, and mimicry learner, and this method of teaching just makes everything click, and I get it in three trys, instead of years of training!

[@melissaellenvc]

Yep

[@Viyorojas]

Yikes ! Don t bisect your body !

[@hathaME]

I'm speech and voice therapist, and I give a presentation about voice to ENT doctors, and I use this as an example, they were so happy to show them how to take care their voices while sing and speak ❤

[@yeetusbeteetus6471]

The Rock one in the loop part killed me. I could NOT stop laughing

[@AshBarkPerson]

same, i wasn't ready for it

[@dsmaymay6426]

It's so... Artificial ??

[@flarehoodviperart2886]

It caught me violently off guard and I busted out laughing

[@IANOYTYK]

My chorus just used this video during a rehearsal and I lost it when he played the loop- I could not stop laughing.... omg

[@angelicacolina3076]

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover learn how to sing really good try Megarno Super Singer Magician(should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got great success with it.

[@blueckaym]

This video is priceless! Not just for the unique visuals, but also for the great comparison! Brilliant!

[@bettyannleeseberg-lange1376]

WowI I am recommending this to my musical theatre students, my acting students, my international dialect adjustment students, not to mention every actor, singer, acting teacher and voice trainer I know! Thank you so much!

[@skumpkin5191]

3:15 - 3:24 Anatomy is fun and all, but this shit is nightmare fuel

[@AkosJanca]

This is brilliant! The idea, the performance, the musicianship, the pedagogical approach. Thank you!

[@ShelbyTomov]

After hardly relaxing years, I recently and happily graduated from med-school; also, I’ve always loved music, music theory, and sound synthesis… and to me all of these things-physiology, creativity, art, images, education-have come to appear as such a nice, wondrous fluid puzzle. Anyway… this video is much, much appreciated. Cheers!

[@oliviaolmo1746]

Thank you so much, Tyley! This gives such a clear image of what goes on in the vocal tract. I share it with all my students! So helpful

[@chanterfacilement4820]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a classical singing teacher and I finaly find a confirmation of what I feel : the opera sound is not produced by a low position of the soft palate (as many people think), but by a low position of the tongue combine with a relax position of the soft palate that let pass a bit of air over it through the nose. So nice to see it in action !

[@PaolaBarrientos]

Mind blown🤯 Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@JuliaJosephMusic]

FASCINATING!! just what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!

[@pattibottinobravo1876]

What a treat to witness what is happening on the inside. Absolutely love this!

[@gnatlan]

this makes my skin crawl

[@simanthajones]

This is the most informative video about the voice that I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@SammyWhiteley]

Bardonic is the OTP

[@Jacob_Whatever]

Are we sure this is the same Tyley Ross tho?

[@CODDE117]

So cool! Seeing your tongue adjust in the mix felt very relatable

[@jeanniegagne1]

This is excellent and SO useful. Thank you! I will be showing it to my students as well.

[@noraleonhardt8558]

I showed this to my students today...They had a blast watching articulation in action!

[@fung0r]

best MRI video so far!! thanks for the comparison of the different modes on the same vowel!!

[@reneurbanovich637]

This is a gift. Thank you. How troublesome and complicated it must have been to do such a well-crafted teaching tool for us. Wow.

[@LucasTheUltimate]

I'm now realizing how big the tongue actually is-

[@MelodyBellStudio]

Why does this not have millions of views?!?! Obviously I’m a vocal coach, and this is my new favorite video!

[@russtIL]

Such a brilliant idea and exceptional execution. Amazing job, Tyley

[@OperaLoveR548]

Rock sounds the closest version to how past generations tenors were singing! Great visuals! Thank you!

[@MotownDan]

Seriously fun and useful! A true eye opener!

[@burnt_frog]

I remember watching this video back in middle school, geez this brings back memory's

[@GRAHAMMUSICSTUDIOOHIO]

Thanks. Loved it. I teach voice and my PT suggested I watch this! So cool. Wonderful you could stay on pitch and sing through the intense sound of the MRI ha!!

[@natalianunnez.expresArte]

Amazing!!! It`s a intersting and originally job! Please continue doing things like these! ! Congrats!!

[@sasharu77]

I just shared this with my students Tyley. You are the coolest! Thanks for this video and I hope you are doing well.

[@user-kk4kn1ue8u]

That's gold. Thx a lot for that comparison between styles of singing. I wish I could see the front side of normal projection of your face while see an MRI projection aside...

[@zuperlink2020]

Thanks so much for posting this! Great work to demonstrate the range of sounds of a skilled human voice!

[@Drkajavab]

Very cool, love the comparisons. Kind of makes me think about when Pavarotti sang with Freddie Mercury, you could hear the clear opera vs rock difference.

[@DianaRoseBecker]

Awesome- thanks for sharing, Tyley!

[@mmmm1264]

Everybody need to see this video ❤❤❤

[@danghuynguyen]

Thank you for make this valuable document!

[@carlanaisa]

This is SOOOOO AMAZING!

[@davidpearson2507]

Brilliant. I had to give a presentation on the mechanics of voice biometrics and used this kind of thing. Really interesting and useful.

[@carolm.ferreira3699]

Wow, so crazy and awesome!! I loved it!!😊👏🏻

[@felipeharger]

Beautiful!

[@captainlennyjapan27]

This video is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@letyourheartsing]

Thank you so much!

[@scd6969]

Incredibly insightful and amazing

[@kmsongbird]

Brilliant! Thanks!!

[@zipporahpeddle2862]

LOVE this!

[@144Donn]

Fascinating!

[@dracoblacksnake9821]

How about extreme rock vocal techniques?) It would be interesting to see how all these desribed anatomical elements, which participate in singing, will change in case of, for example, growling or screaming?)

[@b-65jimenamariarosalessali50]

Some guturales dude!

[@bellezavudd]

Interesting sure. But growling and screaming isnt singing, they're growling and screaming...

[@StigPrice]

​@@bellezavudd nah its actually a style of singing that requires use of fry. You still aim to be within pitch.

[@bellezavudd]

@@StigPrice I guess, if you widen the definition of singing to include growling and screaming it could be called singing. And in spite of taste, I have no problem with definitions being widened. I am familiar with the sound, as Ive friends who listen to it.

[@StigPrice]

@@bellezavudd firstly those growls..very similar to Mongolian throat singing. Secondly screaming like actual to the definition screaming is shouting and is not what you are hearing in what your friends are listening to. What you are hearing is 'screaming' which is a form of singing utilising fry and is at almost a spoken volume. It's not a person actually screaming into a microphone. (And when it is, they don't have long careers) It'd a vocal technique that is very much a part of singing as belting a clean line.. Thirdly not sure you actually know what the definition of singing is to beging with as there is 0 need to widen it.

[@VamboraSingapore]

Absolutely fascinating

[@esperienzavoce]

Very interesting. Your italian pronunciation Is perfect, as a mother toungue speaker.

[@dalecox1192]

LOVE this! Thanks!

[@BhaniKhamnam]

The tongue looks funny as hell. 🤣🤣

[@EM-vy9ik]

it do be dancing 😂

[@solus3693]

0:21 Is this I am inside? Oh my god... This is so unnerving...

[@kathleenliss8001]

VERY ENLIGHTENING!!!! WOW!!!!

[@jack1496]

I looked this up to see if it would help me understand the concept of singing better, and it seems to help

[@lisaguertin77]

Wonderful 😍🌌🕊

[@cloutribal]

This video is amazing!

[@tokkia1384]

Now I want to hear Steven Tyler sing Nessun Dorma

[@ejh0rickstre]

Tyley! love it!

[@silvr94]

Describing an opera sound as "down and back" makes baby Jesus cry.

[@crazzycakes101]

bro, thank you. just, thank you.

[@dudusplx]

man he has all the resources to use mri and sing and manages to get every type of singing crazy wrong, of course especially the operatic one, this is just sad

[@danmararteta]

maybe he refers to the technique "downward and backward attack (as the note gets higher)". even in one of pavarotti's interview he explained the backward thingy as to not strain the voice. im a music student and that is how my voice prof explains to me sometimes so that i can visualize what i should do.

[@enricodicapri]

He is trying to emulate the sound but in now way that is the right emission... His larynx is way up.

[@RhythmAddictedState]

It probably was his way of saying that the larynx should be low...

[@nellyd9280]

So cool, love it

[@meghandibble5792]

Awesome. Thanks for this, Tyley.

[@pro_foto]

Wow ❣️✨

[@m.abarnes6829]

Even though I'm not so talented at singing, I found this really interesting as an English language teacher.

[@alejandronieto576]

Great video! Thanks.

[@xDuWuTang]

Fantastic tongue positioning. It is always arched, in all the styles.

[@mariosevilio]

Excelente esse vídeo!!!!

[@wsurfs]

THAT is fascinating...!! THANK YOU SO MUCH..!!!

[@imaplant4030]

Thank u so much!!

[@TheDudeYouLookAt]

Thank you!

[@v_demingerovi8785]

perfect

[@yukonline]

Genius coach

[@kio5200]

Singing in the MRI while I search for tumors

[@catherinesavery9433]

This is wonderful - and so helpful for middle school students, who get squeamish and silly with some of the other vocal videos out there, since it looks way too similar to other body parts!! :)

[@detaildevil6544]

This is very interesting. I'm trying to find more of these kind of videos to get better understanding of the English pronunciation

[@MelanyIvana2]

This video was enough for me to subscribe to this channel. AMAZING. As a person who loves singing and phonetics lover, I can absolutely appreciate this video. It's UNBELIEVABLE how you change styles and the ability you have to change the place of your organs of speech. I'm speechless.

[@BillyGollnerMusic]

Wow, beyond cool!

[@timekatucker]

So cool!! 😃

[@aamaya695]

sooooooooooo cool

[@maryt8157]

Интересненько 🤔 Thank you! Very interesting! 👏

[@lichtcielo6587]

We are currently studying phonology and this is helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@enasniec-neicsnoc9591]

Holy crap, why does the tongue look so damn cute? It's like a wiggly cat right before it chases something. You know, like when they do the butt wiggle? Or when they're twitching like they can't decide whether or not to go for it? It's like a feline slime monster from a D&D style game. Adorable.

[@fatimapinheiro5033]

Agora percebo como é importante a voz.

[@nayanpatel8491]

Great knowledge video. Thank you for sharing such high end knowledge. Does eating row hard carrots improve singing? As it will give big exercise to mouth. Could you please advise.

[@DJDizzyStorms]

This is pretty interesting

[@andrewhague1521]

Could you do one that shows what happens when you switch from modal voice to falsetto/head?

[@aminoamina3297]

that is so cool

[@redmercury1159]

wow, magnifique!!

[@juliannolastname2442]

It makes sense for the tongue to be that big, but like, why is it that big? It’s not human, it’s a tentacle monster I swear!

[@TerraniSimone]

great images, could tell me wich kind of MRI sequences do you have used?

[@jose_rico_ramos]

Visuals of singing are awesome! Thanks 🙌

[@p6nj]

This is so sick

Even his raspberry's are musical.

[@igop6000]

i never knew that there was an alien inside of my mouth...

[@vocalcoachben]

I need an mri in my vocal studio hahah

[@mystery2ful]

I must say, I love the sound of the intro theme of this series It's jazzy and exactly how I love sounds. Have you every thought of making a full version of your theme? It'd be a wonderful tune to listen to

[@micahwoodard]

Me: _Trying to sleep_ The fly in my room: 2:57

[@alejandromucinocastillo323]

Can you make one about polyphonic singing? Please😉

[@Ks-sr9yu]

Wow, just wow... I can't help rewatching this video over and over again, it's so useful. My vocal couch used to say that a larynx should always stay low (but if i tried to make my vocal box stop moving, the sound became worse). Now I can prove him wrong ;3 Thanks! Wish I could see even more singing-in-the-MRI videos: showing a female singing, or the diaphragm breathing... Maybe focusing on the nasal pharynges (I can see that your cavities darkens sometimes, but can't get any more details)

[@melissaford7911]

Could you please describe each in terms of register and vowel or mouth shape?

[@carolynzaremba5469]

This is so cool! I am a singer as well and have sung in different styles. This is really helpful.
