Very good tutoring sir. Well done!

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

glad you liked it

[@darksidessj25]

It's real easy for me to find all this now that I understand it. Thanks man. You really have to be familiar with fry in order to do certain levels of compression but that's where these exercises come in. Like Bub, Gug, Nay, etc. I just never could figure out what they do tell now. It takes a understanding and a certain degree of knowledge over time. Doing them over scales helps you build muscle memory to find that phonation.

[@michaellopez4746]

Almost a level of intuition as well.

that's great!

I came here cause I was confused when I hear the term vocal compression in a context where it seemed like they were talking about something other than audio signal compression. Thanks for the explanation! Just a little clarification on your explanation of audio signal compression - it doesn’t really bring the low volume stuff up. It just turns down the peaks, and then you turn the whole track up to compensate. It only processes the signal in that one direction. The softer moments do end up sounding louder, but it’s because you turned the loud bits down.

This is how I describe compression. A balloon full of air, squeeze the sides, wheeeeeeeeee!! 😁

[@KingsleyMusicLessons]

Excellent videos.

I sometimes sound too airy and sometimes too tight when singing high notes like D4 and E4 (I’m a baritone btw) how do I keep a good balance?

[@michaellopez4746]

Don't think of yourself as a baritone. Just focus on your voice as it exists because your range can extend beyond those labels. Something I used to do when I was younger that I realized helped me a lot in the future was something I decided to call empathic syncing. Basically listen to your favorite songs and put yourself in their shoes. Well more like put your body in theirs and without making any vocal sounds just copy every muscle. Become their voice. It is now yours. Do this enough and you will slowly gain insight to their muscles and body. You will feel their technique and soon will be able to do just that. I know it sounds unorthodox but trust me it works.

happy to help

[@morgansings4083]

love your account. i have 2 questions though. first is i have trouble projecting how would i fix that and second is i have a hard time finding my chest voice, how would i figure that out

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

both issues require getting more power into your voice: ramseyvoice.com/increase-singing-power/

[@jongbray]

Thanks+++; that finally seems to make sense (and I've watched a lot of other singing teachers try to explain it, so that's saying a lot)! UPDATE: from what you said, I figured that, if I couldn't tell from the sound of my voice whether I was compressing properly or not, taping a small piece of tissue just above my top lip (so that it hung down over my mouth) should give me an idea of how much airflow I was producing and thus how much compression I was using. Does this sound reasonable? My singing teacher didn't seem convinced and said compression wasn't directly about airflow; I'm having problems integrating all the advice!

[@tcellbl4558]

I really get a big problem about vocal compression. Sometime, it's too squeeze or too breathy. I hope this video can help me fix this.

[@cxrlos7221]

I can sing I chest and head voice but not my middle voice any tips?

Does anyone know why my voice sounds like a saw wave and not like sign wave like every body else example my voice sounds like a synthesizer or something

[@amr3559]

Will my voive get better or easier to sing and hit higher notes as i get older ?? I'm turning 16 after 3 months from now

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

usually the voice lowers as we mature, but you can still get better with training
