Trick Your Voice Into Singing Higher (Learn From Your Speaking Voice)

[@RickyLiontones]

I have tried to explain this phenomena to many friends. Where a person's natural speaking voice does affect where they sing naturally and figuring out how speech can help you understand going higher or even lower. Delivery of the lyric itself and vowel shape is more important than people like to think. I'm no expert but it's good to hear these things I've noticed echoed so eloquently. Great series of videos 🤘

[@nelsonbrilhante]

AWE SUM, if our voice (the sound) is a mixture of vocal chords vibrations, muscles and air flow, how can you say that we cannot train those ‘ingredients’ to expand vocal range? We can practice our vocal chords to vibrate faster, and with greater amplitude therefore, to increase vocal range.

[@kingwillie206]

Nelson Brilhante - That clown doesn’t sing. We are all born with potential range, not usable range. Just because a person can squeeze out a C5 doesn’t mean they can sing it. In an untrained state they may only be able to sing a C3.

[@chrisliepe]

HAHAHA! ...YES!

[@waveformstudio836]

Amazing tutorials bro!

[@justinbillings1112]

Force vs flow. This is what allows me to hit high notes. You have to be relaxed and just let your voice naturally go there without tension. Tension/strain will mess you up and give you a bad pitch. Glide they're and ride the wave. 10 years of singing experience and it took me that long to discover it. I stumbled upon this by accident. This takes massive concentration and I recommend people practice sensational awareness in order to get this. I have to articulate though but that is also another thing that people are missing. A good mind-body connection.

[@Cradle2Venus]

My neighbour was passing by my door, this I had the volume up too loud. He knocked to ask if everything was okay lol. I promised there was no DV going on, and I was alone, asked him the video. HE suggests to you to consider a better phrase - he was upset and said he was tempted to call the police instead of knock. I promised him I would pass it on. I'll try the lesson you're giving, good job

[@chrisliepe]

If it was a "more neutral" phrase, I wouldn't be able to entertain myself with all the crazy stories people share about their practice experiences :)

[@joebrady9829]

After doing this exercise for about a minute I broke my record for the highest note I've ever sung, awesome stuff!

[@s4mcote]

Your lessons are so addictive, man. I already feel like I improved some aspects of my singing techniques just by watching your videos. You also seem to be extremely humble and an awesome dude. Keep ‘em coming!

[@brynerlee]

You haven’t ceased to amaze me Chris! I also found that C5 note. Doesn’t sound fantastic or singable yet, but it’s quite amazing how we speak so high yet can’t sing it 😂 let’s see how this goes

[@sml2238]

I love when you crack yourself up when you’re doing funny sounding exercises. These videos are so helpful. I’m not a vocalist by any means. I actually just really like to sing in my car and stuff and my girlfriend always tells me I should try to learn more. I love ‘trying’ to sing Layne Staley or Alice In Chains. I would love to see you do a video on whatever song of theirs you think is most interesting. Laynes voice is awesome I hope one day I can replicate that grit and range.

[@lyanakolivoshko656]

Thanks to this explanation of yours I managed to stop squeezing high notes out of my throat (literally). I can't thank enough for making managing own voice possible in such a simple way 😊

[@chrisliepe]

Glad it helped!

[@bstacka26]

I really wish I discovered these videos 3 years ago when I was starting to distort my voice and expand my range.... (not that those things go hand in hand) instead of doing permanent damage to my vocal cords! Great stuff! Excited to binge watch this channel!

[@drekabueg7995]

While I was trying to sleep. "I told you to stop doing that" keep on echoing to my mind. Help

[@chrisliepe]

haha

[@fanclub999]

Hi Chris, this was a great technique. Most of us ain’t aware of our speaking voice and when applying emotion and expression, will enable us to shift our voice to a higher register.

[@marinecor23]

I can't thank you enough for giving out this quality of advice for free! 💗💗 I wouldn't have made it as far as i have today with my voice if it wasn't for your love of the craft and belief that the proliferation of it should be obtainable by anyone with passion enough to seek it out.

[@MisterBrain]

Chris--I really want to thank you for this video. I've enjoyed singing for many years, but was always frustrated by not being able to hit higher notes and always having to transpose the key downwards. This video really unlocked something for me and now--even at the age of 49--I can finally sing several songs that I never could. I need at least half an hour to warm up my voice, but the progress has been wonderful. I even managed a passable rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water while loading the dishwasher the other day. Thanks again!

[@chrisliepe]

Glad to hear!!

[@krautbrain]

This was the funniest singing video I have ever seen.

[@MCetd]

OMG you have the most funniest and even amazing tips to sing better. I'm so happy I found your channel. I've been surching for so many things to help me, like apps, online courses and all was making me feel like it was so much responsability and little boring details (I know they are necessary tho) that they were making me very anxious and I have this problem. I'm a very anxious person and I always end up no practicing things because I'm afraid it will take too long for me and I'll never be able to learn. I know, it's a lot of stuff going on in my mind, but your videos gave more confidence somehow. I don't feel so much under pressure. Yesterday I gave up singing a cover from a band I love, because the vocalist screams and I'm bad at screaming. Then I said to the guys from my band that I couldn't do it and I changed the song. Than I just watched you video about how to scream and add distortion to the voice and I was here following you, doing the exercises. I realized that If I had seen you video before I wouldn't have give up. It would have taken few days of practicing. Anyway, thank you so much! I'll do the cover for sure in the future. 🤘💙

[@chrisliepe]

This is great!

[@VicZablanVoiceLesson]

I see a lot of strong points to this idea and im gonna try it. Because basically our speaking viice is also our singing voice. Is there anything else? of course none but our own voice. So i agree to all of this. Thanks for sharing bro!

[@chrisliepe]

Right!! Soooo much available in our speaking voice if we let it inform our singing. Most people keep them separate which is very limiting.

[@jillybabesno1]

Man that was hilarious I never knew singing had this funny side to it. Iv sung for fun with my guitar for yrs and I'm pretty good nothing like u am not going there. And iv never really done any practicing like this, I make up songs and match my voice to the chords I play and make up words. This way of practicing is so new to me, iv only just started watching u and I'm blown away by the techniques, sound really helpful advice and it has to be said uv got a great sense of urself to not let it bother u that it might sound or look silly till u get it right. It puts a lot of people off singing when they can't hit the note straight away so they think they can't sing Love learning from u I'm sure I tried to enroll in ur free course bu can't seem to get on to it for some reason al keep trying and keep watching and having fun with this super helpful thanx

In my native language (Polish) I naturally speak SOOO much lower and I really am not able to say that phrase correctly. I think I gotta change my speech voice a little bit and try to experiment.

Sometimes when I am struggling with a song, I make myself speak the song first. It really does help. You'll also find that your speaking voice will resonate better that your singing voice, if you haven't acquired a lot of experience. Another way you could trick your voice into going higher is to pretend you're crying lol

[@kennybassett2249]

Writing songs also can have the same effect. At one point I thought my highest note was around A4 and then I wrote a song that sounded like it had a pretty high note. I just thought it was an A, but I held that note and found out it was C5. After that, I could sing really high.

[@Ekkie101]

When I hit those notes even in speaking or shouting voice Ab, Bb, C my voice still cracks to those notes although I sometimes sing the Ab in performance. I used to sing a Bb, but that's been sometime ago.

[@chrisliepe]

Let the crack happen.... in fact, lean into it! That's where you get the distortion you hear in my demonstration comes from!

[@AlkanetEXE]

[@rykersixx]

Really enjoying your content man. KZbin recommendations got me here and even though i already do some of these things I didn’t know exactly how I was doing it to explain to others. I’m not trained on notes though, I just hear a note and I can sing it. Same with writing music. I’m primarily an unclean vocalist and the video on how you do it helped me know exactly where that sound was so I could comfortably switch in and out without changing my volume. I learned to scream by copying the voice from the grudge and shifting it farther down, then when I found that region I just shifted my air flow to change pitch. Not sure what the technique there is. My yells however are very close to your video but I dip in and out of a fry scream with them to make them feel less like a technique and more like someone aggressively mad. My band mirror my lies has a song called malleus est Mortis where I do almost every unclean in my arsenal.

[@TooleyPeter]

This is very smart.
