Singing Transformation: How Yago Went From F4 to A4 In 3 Weeks

[@miguellaruku2725]

This is very moving, it's a big moment in Yago's life you can tell he's really grateful for it. I know because I was in that same position. I almost cried the night I was able to go above F4 without killing my voice. Yes, sometimes you just need someone qualified to point you in the right direction and voila, that's it, it's done.

[@akshat2237]

I m having the same problem 😭 ,I have been practicing since April and May , But Can't get above the f4 using chest voice,Is it because I m just 16 or something else. How did you get above this ?Please Tell

@@miguellaruku2725 yo man can you tell you tell me how , I’m a baritone and I’m trying my best to sing Bruno mars songs but my vocal range isn’t going to d5s in chest voice. I’m currently reaching B4/C5 as the highest in chest but not able to hold the note constantly without pushing my voice .

[@lexsoft3969]

As a baritone, I thought, I could only go up to G4 with chest voice, like in the song "Release Me" by Engelbert Humperdinck. Then I tried to sing "Delilah" by Tom Jones in which the highest note is A4 that occurs at the end part of the song. I was surprised that I managed to hit that A4 note. I thought it was a breakthrough for me. I was glad that I tried to sing other songs with higher notes. I found that in some songs I could hit B4 quite comfortably, but still really struggled at C5, although I managed to hit the note in songs like "We Are The Champions" by Queen with full effort.

[@beauxemerson855]

This was soo great. I tried the exercise demonstrated myself and notice a change

[@magnolioux9185]

Can you demonstrate the training for me pls?

I have one question how can i sing with twang but not soud squicky and thin does anyone have anytips for that? If yeah thank you very much by the way your great man i wish i had money so you can teach me

[@philmoufarrege]

I don't advise trying to go down the route of twang, the problems you're talking about are exactly what usually tends to happen when people attempt to learn it. You need to learn how to sing in a solid, strong and very clear chest voice. The process of building this can not be listed in a simple text post.

[@Bottomless.Coffee]

May I ask what causes a vocal break around the A4-A#4 area? I can hit these notes but it sometimes depends on how much phlegm I have during the day. I'm unsure if it's just phlegm or it's something to do with the second passaggio. I believe my actual break is around G4 but I managed to smoothen that area. I'm a male.

[@philmoufarrege]

The A4 area is the 2nd bridge area so it's a common area for males to break again there. But really, a break can occur at any note depending on the extent of the strength of the voice. Meaning, as your voice is strengthened with the right technique the breaks go away and you can just take the chest voice up without a break, even beyond C5.

[@princekiki33]

I was the same way it took me a while to get the g note the g# was easy but I just cannot belt the a note

[@michaelsabiu8155]

@@princekiki33 Me also, I can hit that but it's not strong enough

[@amrm_a7771]

My voice won't go beyone Eb4. I've been training myself for over a year. I'll never mix, forget about it

[@philmoufarrege]

You haven't found the right way to do it yet. Don't give up and don't be afraid to invest in mentorship from someone who can get you there.

[@amrm_a7771]

@@philmoufarrege I don't even know someone who can sing with mixed voice irl and I can't afford a vocal coach. I am REALLY WILLING to master my voice, like really .I have been doing daily exercises that last for like an hour or two. I know it may exhaust my voice , but I really want that mix. I can do fast riffs , vibrato and high falsetto notes like a ringing Bb5. I can even enhance overtones in my voice whenever I want to. I can do all of that .... but at what cost ? I can't even sing an E4 without straining the hell out of my throat.

[@philmoufarrege]

Totally understand. Being stuck around that E4 was my story too for many years. What I'm seeing here though is the following: - you've tried to figure it out on your own and you're hitting a wall - the main thing stopping you from seeking out guidance from a capable mentor is finances. So it's clear to me that the real obstacle here is you need to find a way to financially be able to invest in moving forward. You'll either need to get a job or if you already have one, focus on finding other jobs that may pay better. This is really the thing standing in your way. If you can figure it out without investing then that's great but the reality is there are people out there who know how to do things you want to do and are further along the journey who you can learn off and get where you want to be. In the meantime I've got a few videos that may help you: - this video has important preparatory work that you need to build up to the E4-F4: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4LaZqyapZh6d68 - these next 2 are important for moving beyond: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjNk5ejfdKUbtU kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZLTp6SdpKx5bpo Hopefully that gets you going in the right direction a little bit.

[@amrm_a7771]

@@philmoufarrege thanks a lot , I will check them out ASAP Well the thing is if I have the money to afford a vocal coach I won't do that. Because my voice is so ugly and bad that my vocal coach would mock everything I do. I am not singing nasal ,it's just my voice naturally being ugly. You maybe asking yourself if my voice is ugly .. why am I willing to mix ? I just wanna sing a song without straining. 😩 Also im 16 I'm not employed. Range : B2 --> A5.

[@philmoufarrege]

but you haven't worked with a vocal coach so you're making up stories that haven't happened.

[@uniofwinners]

Hey man before my puberty I used to have the most high pitched voice compared to any guy in my age but after puberty I started developing a deep voice around F2 currently with down talking . Is this the reason I can’t sing any notes constantly on the 4th higher octave without tensing my throat. But I can actually reach C#5 with my chest voice. Am I a tenor ??

[@philmoufarrege]

I wouldn't say that's necessarily the reason specifically.

[@uniofwinners]

@@philmoufarrege so does that mean I have a natural tenor voice texture ? cuz even now I can speak in a higher pitch . Is it like my tessitura is located in a higher octave?

[@michaelsabiu8155]

Hello, nice video! I'm 23 male, I can hit my voice is already very clear and youthful in the comfortable notes, but very powerful, up to G4, I can take up to A4-B4 but the sound is too light and in C5 it starts to turn into falsetto towards D5-F5.

[@philmoufarrege]

[@michaelsabiu8155]

@@philmoufarrege hello, I think I have solved it, since I've been approaching the soul genre and listening to Marco Mengoni's voice I have understood how I can do it, in practice I take the A4 note and gradually raise the volume of my voice, sometimes it seems like a mixed voice, but end what does it matter? I am a tenor and my voice is very close to falsetto. Thank you Phil👍😊

Thats insane man!

[@igotudave]

I’m very skeptical. 3 weeks?! What did you have him do? I’ve been trying to do mix voice 2 years, singing pro for 20 years.

[@philmoufarrege]

It's not uncommon for people training with me to reach notes in a short amount of time, however there is a lot more that goes into really making this usable in songs and that takes more training and work - that's why I told him in the video "we are just getting started". But it really is a great confidence booster when you've been stuck for years with no results and can see tangible improvements

[@TheRandomBar1111]

I'm a bass and my range is A1-E4 💀💀💀 I don't strain but my voice just doesn't go past the E4 like the full voice sound just disappears
