I think that im mostly chest voice though im transitioning into squeezy pretty quickly.

[@lks_mobile]

I'm so breathy I can't fucking get a clear sound out and I can't sing loud at all. I've always wondered why I can hum songs perfectly but never sing them and I think I've just found the reason x'd

[@mahmudaakter7930]

1. Breathy ( Billie Eilish, Oliva) 2. Shouty (Adele, Imagine dragons) 3. Flippy (Sam Smith, cold play) 4. Squeezy ( Ed Sheeran, Pink, Bruno Mars)

[@writerinprogress]

I'm definitely the flippy type - as soon as you defined it, I thought "Yep, that's me!" I've even talked in the past about having a 'break point' in my vocal range - that point where I'm so close to where my chest voice ends and my head voice begins that I flub it because my brain doesn't know which way to go instinctively.

[@bernardok]

So me

[@RocketJo86]

Same here. I tend to not sing up to that point for that reason *laughs*

[@ky_not_real7529]

Same

[@icepick859]

I’m a little confused, I’m a new singer. So can you only sing in like one octave?

[@PhilipHester]

Exactly, I got good chest voice but when I get to higher register, think of gears with no oil, that's what I sound like usually

[@Sloppyjoey1]

I definitely fall into the "squeezy" type. My friends sort of love it and call me "Bon Jovi" lol but I hate sounding like I'm always singing rock/gospel or a ballad. Its fun to learn about my own habitual singing nature so I can improve it. What's worked for me is to practice low notes because they're more "open" and trying to bring that nature of open-ness to my top notes. Another issue for me is always sounding inherently "powerful". I tend see the "Flippy" voice type as ideal because it has the most versatility and color. Your "mum" scale instantly worked for me btw. I really hope you go in more on this subject because most teachers avoid habitual tendencies and focus on rigid technique and voice types.

[@TheScorpion615]

Being called Bon Jovi is a huge compliment in my book's wish i could get that good at singing and i would be perfectly fine with that of course i would keep trying to improve

[@Sloppyjoey1]

@@TheScorpion615 I try to take it as a compliment but I'm also a pretty introverted quirky person so it's hard to want to sing in a dramatic fashion lol. Everyone's always like "just belt, belt, belt DO IT" and a lot of times I feel like I sound old/mature which makes it so hard to sing pop songs. But I've made some strides. I tend to think having a naturally "squeezy" voice is the reason I have abnormally large range as well. What voice type do you fall under? I tend to like the 'flippy' one the most but you helped me feel better about my own voice haha

[@ddsnaorig9369]

Trying to practice the "mum" coz I just found out I have the squeezy type of voice... and my neighbors kinda confused if it's a cow or a person 🙈🙊🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Alexisdc11]

I'm definitely a squeezer/shouter. I have a wide range and access to high notes in mix voice and head voice, but I tend to over compress my high notes and I still hurt myself quite often. I've tried the "mum" exercice and it does help to find the right placement for the mix voice and the right amount of breath support. Thank you for your great content !

[@awkwardukulele6077]

Didn’t realize there was a word for Squeezy voices; I thought it was just “wrong,” for me to have gotten my mixed voice before finding my falsetto, and having trouble singing high and quietly.

[@Marina_7]

This was so interesting!! I thought I was just bad because I often get flippy, especially if I'm not warmed up well, and occasionally try to get shouty to hit higher notes and my voice suffers oops. This makes so much sense. Thank you for the exercises suggested towards the end as well!

[@saharalove4511]

God bless you for your teachings . Have learned a lot from you.

[@christianpaasa7415]

I am usually mixed voice on flippy or squeezy voice but often, I more on squeeze and flippy when I'm in the falsetto mode 💖

[@brookward9778]

I fall into the Shouty category ,I've been try to figure out my voice type for a while .Thankyou for sharing your experience ❤️

[@sapodilla25]

I'm a mix of breathy and flippy, if possible 🤔 my favourite vocalist is Hope Sandoval and she's the poster child for breathy and whispery ❤️ but I like having more body in my voice so I switch between the two types so much.

[@maryannspurgin]

And yet Billie Eilish and Thom Yorke are great singers. Thom Yorke has an exquisite voice

[@nothingspecial163]

I'm something beetwen Fliper and Squeezer. I live in area about D4-A4, I belt most of those notes. Anywhere above F4 I sound very Squeeze, but at B4 I just have to flip to my head voice. I have no problem with my first passagio (which lies at D#4), I can start mixing, but I struggle to switch between even mix and head voice

[@naatali4393]

I like Pink and Sarah, so it makes sens that I feel squeezy when I sing their song..and I feel shouty singing Adèle and Lady gaga🤓.

[@Whispersofthewaves]

I started being the voice number 2:singing full chest.But this way I realised that I couldn t reach higher than D4.After that i had to jump to falsetto. Doing experiments with my voice i tried instead of lifting up my chest voice,take down my fake falsetto voice. So I became voice no1 for some period.Unfortunatelly that was no good if i wanted to sing properly in a sufficient volume... That was the time that I went to a vocal teacher who encouraged me to use all of my registers... So finally I stayed in voice number 4.The squeezy type cause I had to squeeze my higher notes. As the time passes I realise that beauty of the voice comes by working in my low and medium range as well...not only in my higher limits...and also by making my high "passagio" better:Sing the tone E4 better and make a nice easy smoother bridge connecting Eb4 with F4...that also makes my singing less squized... Very good video!It was a travell in time for me!Thank you!

[@ecelextra]

Wow Thom Yorke is my favorite vocalist of all time and I’m a tenor AND flippy like him that’s wild

[@paimanaghasi5230]

Extremely informative video. Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Colonol_sanders]

This helped a lot, I’m a mix between flippy and squeezy. I can hit the high notes but I need to push a lot so I tend to just melt into a falsetto

[@lisajones8000]

Such good information! We can always learn so much from you Matt. Thank-you so much. Still not sure what which of these voice types I have but I think I get Flippy at various times. Thanks for the ideas you give to help me and others fix our voice issues

[@PiyaChoudhari]

I am flippy type but also squeezy sometimes and for soft songs i go breathy and for energetic sound i go shouty... But mainly I am flippy type most of the times... Hitting highest notes for me in my head voice and moderate,mild high notes low notes in chest voice... Chest voice is open voice and head voice is the voice that has a nasal twang to it...

[@pitchygroans]

Thanks! Adding an uh-coloring immediately improved the tone of my squeezed high notes!

[@dougiebrenizer5600]

I used to be a shouty singer but I never noticed I was limiting my rang until a few days ago when I realized I could sing Al the way from c2 to c6 in my chest mixed and head voice

[@adsonxo]

what tthe fuck

[@Heheha329]

Fuck dude people look at me weird for F#2 to c6 I can't imagine c2 to c6 and I have to use tons of vocal fry to get that low bro is siren

[@thecomorbiditycurator8018]

I'm a flippy, and the flip happens at B4 every single time. Never heard it called flippy before, but I like it. I've only ever been told it's "annoying" by choir directors. One choir director actually gave me two sheet books and let me combine the alto and tenor sections so he didn't have to hear my breathy tiny voice after the flip 😂

[@be88nzdeanzz5]

I just wanna sing good enough to where my kids stop laughing at me lol

[@ryptoll4801]

I'm the shouter type, and occasionally flippy. Back in my teens I was the breathy type instead, until I switched to using a chest voice for my every day speaking and singing. Now 20 years later, I struggle with remembering how to use my head voice properly. But I actually did practice using the lip trill exercise a few years ago, and it did help me being able to take higher notes more comfortably and more smoothly, so I kinda get what you mean! Like that actually works. I had just forgotten. Speaking in chest voice might be really useful for me as I have a deep voice, but I never considered that head voice might be useful for some things in singing.

[@emilyrose3490]

I kinda used to be the flippy one, and I still am sometimes bc I can’t apply mix voice in actual songs (only in exercises sometimes), and maybe a little bit the squeezy one if I don’t know in which register to sing. I think the first three can be stylistic choises tho

[@debashishadhikary9030]

I am a shouter voice type. I tend to sing loud when recording my original songs, but I am also a baritone who, with some intricate arrangements sound like Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash.😮

[@DaniSI-x8s]

When he said about the Breathy type, I immediately knew I fell in the category, it makes so much sense now

[@shemielmcclanahan4098]

Definitely squeezey for me. And I actually love it, as a Baritone I love shocking people by "squeezing" out high notes while maintaining some residence and vibrato!

[@menslayerx205]

I'm still kinda confused. I think I fall somewhere like, in between flippy and squeezy.

[@KyOte13]

I would like to ask you to react to Horace Andy. His most popular songs is as part of the group Massive Attack and they are “Angel”, “One Love”, “Girl I Love You“ Man Next Door”, and “Hymn Of The Big Wheel”. On his own, the songs “Angel”, “Sea Of Love”, “ Natural Mystic”… dude, I just need to hear what someone who understands vocal science can discern from him. Thank You

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

My favourite song from him is "Please Don't Go"... "Angel" is definitely another one!!!

[@callieanntapp]

I am somewhere in the middle of flippy and squeezy… Closer to flippy though. Depending on the song, I might squeeze one extra note into my head voice (not always does it sound great 😂😅) but if there are more notes to go, I just flip registers… 😅😅😅… I hate how i change from strong chest voice to weak and breathy head voice… Thanks for the tips!!!

[@klmaloney13]

This was really interesting. I have never heard of this though totally makes sense now. I am definitely shouty and the examples you gave make complete sense with my voice. I always say I am all chest voice. I do have a head voice but I struggle with the transition so instead I just only sing songs in my chest voice and then I push that too much at times.

[@Nemesistyx]

I dont know if it was my comment directly on a short vid, but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! It explains whyyy I struggle to find my voice and lose it all the time.

[@jenniferloomis5052]

I automatically sing in my head voice and sound flat in my chest voice.

[@garycalvertii9491]

The "flippy singers" all have/had, in the case of Buckley, RIP. A nice mix voice.

[@TheScorpion615]

I'm definitely a breathy or shouty type possibly a combination between the two I'm just learning about all this stuff and following your lessons hopefully i can improve and get better my goal is to get to a baritone type and sing at karaoke and feel comfortable about it. Love the lessons and examples you give on the different types of singer's it's very helpful 👌

[@PascaleLaurent81]

I’m an alto but I can hit the C6-F6# . I’m a mix of breathy and flippy.

[@lydiawaithira3616]

🎉You are just a great voice trainer, not sure where I am but will keep watching to know😂😂😊

[@marlongacutan9665]

thanks for sharing idol.

[@destroyergirl8087]

I was going to go to my vocal coach with this new information that I am DEFINITELY a flippy singer, but then you showed the exercise.. it’s the exact exercise she had me do the first weeks of our classes, and have been doing since. 🤣

[@RaquelCadiz-dz6dd]

Why am I an all type of singer? I sing shouty songs like chop suey and sugar by soad. And for breather like joji and Billie eilish. And for Flippy like coldplay. And squeezy like Bruno Mars .

[@sammiepatty4863]

Despite the lowest types being bad, it's miraculous for ppl to make a living with them. They have their ups and down

[@wordforger]

I'm something between shouty and flippy. I can do anything in my chest voice, and tend to be all power all the time down there, but the moment I get to about G4 I crack and sound really shrill. Totally disconnected voice.

[@shayaropinthechat5513]

Bro, literally we are same. I have strong head voice btw

[@BunnyPlays651]

I don’t really agree with the shouty voice section. Adele has a very hefty and powerful voice. She is simply Mixing, I believe in that clip. But I love your content. Also It’s Contralto in vocal pedagogy. Alto is a choral part. :) keep up the good work. ❤️

[@G2mxrZ]

I agree that Adele doesn’t just have a shouty voice

[@mikehopkins4040]

@@G2mxrZ you might be right on the shouty voice but she does sing in a straight line fashion most of her records seem pretty much the same in tone. Very successful as she is but she has had to have surgery so Ramsey might have a point.

[@leofenrir6655]

I definitely started as a breathy singer lol didn't know how to sing in chest resonance before. so my head voice was really developed, but not so much chest. once I got comfortable implementing chest, I learned how to blend them for mix voice

[@tamunotamuno3564]

yo Matt, thanks the exercise for the flippy exercise definitely work

[@neilgrossbard2511]

i can sing in any of the voice types. i have just learned how to sing chest way up there and sometimes have to add more head. It matters the approach to whether I can stay in chest as I go higher. I should be able to get to at least E5 with chest but I have problems so far with B f4. This is all new to me my natural voice without training is Bass Baritone (down to at least C2, and with training I go to A1 or 1 day i hit G1).

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

Uh- What? E5 is *high* for baritones- It's a high belt even for Sopranos. A bass-baritone can belt up to somewhere between B4 to C#5 at max development, but can go higher with re-enforced falsetto.

[@SeatherineJent]

What about the coveted "Balanced" voice?

[@miguelexequielcasanovas449]

MIKA and Sam Smith Are definitely my mentors, so I'm comfortable singing like a flippy one

[@muslimmetalman]

i started off shouting as loud as i could to get past G4 or so. recently i add the air from head voice starting way down. it helps round out the lower notes and gives me a good balance as i take it up higher. still dont have much control or power but i can take it up well past G4. at least say D5

[@Vlek]

dont deadass just shout tho, you need power from your support not your throat, hard shouting will fuck your throat up

[@muslimmetalman]

@@Vlek coordinating the breath can be confusing usually tho. you push into your throat usually

[@Vlek]

@@muslimmetalman offcoruse, but dont just ram it trough for volume good support will sound powerful without sounding like youre putting in alot of effort, it doesnt sound like shouting

[@muslimmetalman]

@@Vlek i have difficulty finding this.

[@whitneyhoustonstan2472]

I’ve done experiments with my voice where I’ll belt a G#4 for example and do the same note in head voice/mix. I find that the G#4 is louder in chest but quality wise, it sounds cleaner in mix. I just don’t know how to bring my mix to almost match that chest power.

[@yuliv715]

I’m a mix between breathy and squeezy, breathy in low notes, and squeezy notes

[@TWELVE_Here]

I have flippy voice and i did'nt know to improve my voice. Thanks

[@sanjaykarthicks1226]

I'm somewhere between flippy and squeezy voice Lol I thought I sang Justin Bieber's "Hold On" in a squeezy voice today Also when I try to shift to head voice while I practice it isn't gradual It breaks sometimes

[@maxpower3726]

Great video! What about screamy? Like Def Leppard or Journey?

[@Pengalen]

I think I'm either flippy or squeezy, or maybe shouty. I can get volume in my head voice, but my control isn't that great. I can't seem to do lip trills very well.

[@divestedkonservativekarame4269]

I might be squeezy? I usually find when I'm in the 5th octave I'm in head but can use my chest in the 5th if I want it just depends if I need to stay in the fifth octave it's easier to yell it in chest if I'm just hitting notes it's easier in head above e5. I can't really say sentences at g5 unless I'm using chest voice and really loud yelling my head voice can hit a note but note speaks sentences that high

[@bromoboy]

seriously john mayer is great, i love his voice, it sounds normal

[@amyharth5446]

I wasn’t trained well about different registers when I did my professional training and since I could sing very high in chest voice as a soprano none of my teachers really explained that I needed to shift registers. Since I was used to singing for performances that didn’t use microphones, that also meant I tended to be a shouty singer. Now I’m learning more about how to change registers and having more issues with squeezing especially as I’m getting older.

[@bennyklee4010]

Ok I believe I switch between breathy and shouty :D kind of a weird combination

[@kevrain]

Yeah, my voice is complicated. Till now i still dont know what my voice type or range is. I usually sing female songs but with male voice, hope you get it.

[@divestedkonservativekarame4269]

I'm shouty? Sorta but I don't just sing in chest it's the way I mainly sing. When I'm singing any song that's hard to sing I go into chest if I sing Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston its usually chest voice for me

[@yuliv715]

I have a squeeze voice

[@davfriend369]

In which category would have been Michael Jackson?

[@ninij9692]

I used to get stuck in head voice and single an entire song in head voice lol. Then I became more of a shouter because I wanted to learn how to belt (without the proper training first) so then I would go horse easy. Now i can go from head voice back to chest voice, but I can't do falsetto anymore lol. Man I need help lol.

[@DVBB1]

#2 Shouty is my favorite by far....

[@Minister_for_Grass]

As soon as you described the Flippy style, it all clicked.

[@lovinglivinglearning2114]

im not sure if im squeezy or flippy because i apply alot of pressure when i go to high notes. so, i think im the squeezy type

[@garycalvertii9491]

I'm sure I've done them all, except the breathy down in my low notes, lol.

[@Jaoth]

im most likely a "flippy/squeezy type" however my biggest issue is going smoothly from chest to head voice, i go up in the chest from low to mid-range, and then i don't have enough control over the the two and the head-voice kicks in, taking over the chest voice and causing a sudden jump between notes, my range is G2-F5 but right on C4/D4 is when it jumps and you hear a strain, and im not how to solve it, i've tried the "mom" and the "nay" but i just cannot get a smooth switch between the two for me

I have a low voice for a girl, and I tend to be a bit of a mixer/flipper. But I've damaged my voice singing incorrectly for years and I can not hit above a certain note no matter how hard I try and it makes me so sad 😭

[@artchy9798]

I still imitate singers a bit when I sing but I feel more connected to mine and imitate the least possible when I sing songs by Ariana Grande or Chanel Terrero Martinez, what kind of voice type/ Vocal tendencies do i have?

I’m shouty im sure 👀

[@Parzival_4ever]

Well, I'm numbers 2 and 3 and it kinda sucks. I can sing low and powerful but when I try to sing more powerful in high notes I flip and let off a low pitch screech.🤦

[@Helloearthlings.]

I m the opposite of "singer" 😂

[@reirualontaga]

After watching this, I can say that I am a Flippy singer and whenever I hit high notes, I became somewhat Squeezy.

I thought I can’t sing but Actually i can i fall into breathy category

[@marshwetland3808]

Flippy voice makes me think of pop singer who do sort of a weird country/bluegrass thing that is almost like the beginning of a yodel. I don't care for it - find it rather jarring. Sarah McLachlan and others who I can't name.
