What if CRY vocal mode doesn't work? [Straining on high notes]

[@RichardFriendartist]

I love you picked Hunted Down as the example@!!!

[@zenrobotninja]

Wow, that was an eye (throat) opener. Loved the practical examples like the "Run" comparisons. Gonna try this out this evening, thanks man

[@Isaidnopickles]

i'm addicted to your content man helped so much, and did anybody ever tell you that you resemble boz burrell?

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

Big Bad Co fan here, so I'll take the compliment. K

[@ЯраслаўНаумік]

It's amazing that in cases that you identify as wrong technique you're still sounding great!

[@-non-savvyauteurist]

It is, but I think it is not actually helping as it is very hard to understand the difference that way :)

[@frenchenstein]

Hi K, you say about cramming stuff into ten minutes; I’ve watched all of your output, including from your “killed-off” channel (you must have upset someone big😅!), and I come back for reference time and again. You’re a bloody good teacher (wish I could afford your lessons) and you are making a difference. Peace and love dude 😊 Frenchy

[@Telee_Pawt]

Excellent. Really enjoyed that. Thx so much!

[@craigjenkins6917]

you are really good.

[@christofklech4596]

That totally makes sense! Thank's man!

[@blackive_alkmy]

bro.. thank you!!!

[@pitchygroans]

Great as always! Did Chris Cornell use more chest push in his later Audioslave style? Personally started learning mix with cry and witchy voice and used that for a while, but felt the sound improve when learning fuller belts which had the sensation of pushing up chest until the resistance suddenly went away and produced a really loud free resonance in the back of the head

[@فلسفهعلموموسیقی]

Just wish your course was a bit more affordable. Your amazing. ❤ I know you worked hard for this though... ❤ With your method , where do you suggest starting out? I have to work on my second passagio....

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

I hear you - but let me tell you a story. Imagine you need your bathroom pipes fixed - there's two plumbers to choose from. There's the el'cheapo guy that charges $50 an hour, then there's the bees-knees guy that charges $300 an hour. You hire the el'cheapo guy to do the job (i mean, that's obvious, right?) but it takes 20 hours to complete, he breaks a separate pipe in the process that then takes an extra two hours to repair - and he doesn't do a great job on it. This cost you $1200, and you're going to have to have him come back in a few months to fix that pipe permanently, probably costing you another couple of hundred. So, ultimately $1500 to get your bathroom pipe fixed - he also misses an extra leak that was under the floor, and in 6 months you have to spend $5000 having your bathroom floor retiled and repaired. Now, let's say you went with the bees-knees guy at $300 an hour, he fixes the whole thing professionally in two hours, and also points out that there's another under floor leak that should be fixed immediately, ultimately saving you $5000 of re-tiling from damage that would have occurred. You pay him $600 in total, the job is done professionally, and you ultimately save $5000. Others charge less, but you'll spend more time with them and often get lesser results. To answer your question, I'd reach out to me personally first so I can hear what's really going on, and what the real solution is going to be. Best, K

[@einbenutzer17]

​@FoundationVocalStudio the problem is el cheapo often claims to be el profesjonalisto...when he is not. And u end up spending 5000$ and still got no bathroom.

[@michaelellis2959]

I'm crying thinking about the cry.

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

KZbin makes me cry.

[@-byko-8423]

I've heard a few different coaches give the instruction "work on bringing ur head voice as low as possible."....why am I doing this? What would be the next step that doing this leads to? Love the new channel! Thanks. 🙂

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

The key here is to make your voice "one" - don't bring your head voice 'down', make it ONE with chest voice. Most likely, they're talking about the edge of the fold (head) and the body of the fold (chest) - when you sing in 'mix' it's a bit from column A and a bit from column B. Sheerly bringing head voice down doesn't achieve this, nor does dragging chest. The key is in the vowel - what variant are singing, when and why? K

[@AnuppppRaze]

Woahhh

[@GabiBrooks]

Comment for the algorithm.

[@cryptomaniac6926]

Hey Keegan, im starting to practice the cry on lower notes, but when i go higher, it breaks when i make it louder. Is this normal? is this the right path?

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

Don't make it louder, just get that connection first, then build from there. It's called MIXED voice for a reason, it's a mix of head and chest, not avoiding head. K

[@romanlimbuz309]

Why am cracking my voice is there a certain reason behind that?

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

There's many reasons why - if it's a range thing where you split into falsetto, go slow and light until you can connect the two and work from there. If it's breaking up and grinding, you've likely got a vowel off or maybe an airflow/compression issue. What happens when you go from A3 to A4 chest to head voice? K

[@romanlimbuz309]

It doesn't exactly break it just feels so weak at e4,f4 and sometimes breaks. I just dont get enough power at this range Is there anything i can do for that?

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

E4 is likely dead centre in your voice - use the CT muscle/cry at this point to pitch the notes instead of pushing from your belly. K

[@OparaDavid-n4z]

Please do a video of distortion

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

It's one of those 'walk before you can run' type things - I haven't found it useful to just jump into distortion when I teach, when it's really just the result of well rounded technique. Best - K

[@christianlee9360]

Why does every vocal coach talk about Chris Cornell lol

[@FoundationVocalStudio]

Could it be because I bought Badmotorfinger in 1991 and I've been a huge fan of his insane singing ever since? Nope, must just be some weird vocal coach tic.
