Petition to have Tara, Nikki, and Jeremie do an a cappella album together! I replayed the “what’s up Tara-bytes” 10 times because that harmony was heaven.

[@royjyvo]

I think I get too obsessed with vibrato sometimes that I try to add it to every single note. I would love a video on straight tone vs. vibrato.

[@Tarasimonstudios]

Noted!!

[@THEE.apples]

@Daniel Thompson she just made a video on vibrato. U should watch it.

[@jojo_8989]

Maybe you can take Whitney Houston as a example, natural vibrato but does not leave an impression that audience feels like overdoing it, just let it flow...

[@lynnly2406]

Joe Lai Lim actually, when she sang I Will Always Love You, although it had a lot of vibrato, there was a lot of straight notes too. If you always sing with a vibrato, it gets tiring, but if you have a good balance, it sounds better

[@robertstein3753]

Yep! You just called me out with this one😭

[@maymay-3-751]

this is just for me to practice: Chest placement: Jeremie 2:55 Nikki 5:53 Mix placement: Jeremie 8:51 Nikki 11:35 Head placement: Jeremie 14:39 Nikki 17:14

it helped me a lot, thanks for uploading 💗

[@when_life_gives_you_lemons4611]

I find that because of my shy and reserved nature I struggle to use my breath support properly and sing loudly because I don’t want to be super loud. But after starting lessons last year, I am improving so much. I also love to watch videos of other teachers to see how they teach their students because it also in turn helps me 😊

[@Tarasimonstudios]

That’s so wonderful for you!

[@Rosannasfriend]

The magic of watching something again months later. I didn't pick up a lot the first time I saw this, coming back again a little more well-informed from other videos and just older and wiser…, I was able to get you and pick up basically everything you were saying and make good notes out of it. Thank you so much!

[@Timliu92]

You know Jeremy is an amazing singer when his example of a 'wrong mix' still sounds very good.

[@AndySaenz]

8:55 Wow, he hit that F perfectly! I tried it myself, it feels like it's more of a head voice placement even though they said it's in the mixed voice register.

[@JLogg444]

I did as well, try using a lot more support to bring your chest up into the mix. A lack of support will just cause you to bring your head down until it’s not mixing

[@hcmercy6786]

@@JLogg444 hi guys, what does using more support feel like to you... maybe you squeeze your abs?

[@doginabox9621]

@@hcmercy6786 I think of it like pushing out your diaphragm (upper ab area I guess) but I’m still a novice so don’t take my word for it

[@hewhomustnotbenamed2864]

This is by far, the most profound and elaborate demonstration and discussion about singing placements. Lots of essential information and different aspects were given importance and acknowledgement. Totally worth it to watch till the very end. Kudos to y'all guys!

[@Tarasimonstudios]

Awww! Thanks dear!

[@Dopeefcknmannyy]

Love the vibes & energy you all radiate 😊

[@HS-jh1hl]

Thank you! These videos are so helpful! I love how you guys are so relaxed around one another and can tease each other playfully.

[@paulssonvocals6619]

The zipper tip is really good, I’m going to use that with my students. I always explain mix like you borrow from chest or head register. As a guy singer I agree with Jeremie about the placement in head register, but for me it also depends of the placement of the tone. So if it’s like opera style I feel it on the top of my head. Just like an example :)

[@matthewaaronallen1598]

That intro!😍😍😍

[@teideliteid]

I'm a girl, and i feel the head voice resonance in the same place as Jeremy, floating in the upper half of my head. But it depends, as mentioned in the video, on the vowel I use, but also how high in the register I sing. For mix, yeah, same as all of you. Like a cannon placed at the back of my throat shooting out along/grazing the top of the palate, with a sensation through the nose as well. For proper chest. I'm with Nikki. Just an open and free feeling, and definitely feeling those abs working. I have to be conscious of that, as singing in the car (I do that a lot) makes it hard to use the abs properly, and I "program" myself to not do it properly... Thank you so much for a very valuable demonstration! :)

[@Betweentheraindrops8]

Interesting point about head voice funneled through “oo” and “ee” to get more tone. This explains Whitney’s approach perfectly. She always used those vowel choices and I don’t think she ever deviated from them.

[@MadameCorgi]

i very rarely feel vibrations in my head while singing

[@jubilex7119]

I always feel them in the mask or chest, head on the nose like tara

[@anjalinarayanan6881]

I've been trained classically so my head voice is stronger than my mix and chest.

[@yuyucontent]

me too

[@vitorhercules]

My nose usually feels funny when I'm singing

[@adarshmisra4344]

I have blocked nasal passages so Even I cannot feel head voice resonance and therefore have a hard time figuring mix as well!!!

[@AndySaenz]

You've heard of Pentatonix. Well, this was Tritonix! That intro harmony was amazing, "what's up, Tara-bytes!". 🎼🎵🎶🎤🎙️

[@ThatGamerGirl100]

Ooooof that intro😍

[@maysaall]

I love your Technics now I couldn't be a better singer than normal

[@vitorhercules]

I feel my throat engaging when it shouldn't and I get frustrated because I can tell something is wrong but I don't know how to fix it

[@ewel6360]

Same

[@admann24]

I think there are many reasons you could feel your throat engaging and its hard to really know why without someone who really knows what they are doing listen to you and try to figure it out. However, I would try singing the note quiet and soft while focusing on not having any tension anywhere. When you get that, I would focus on where you feel the vibrations from the sound and then focus on keeping that sensation where you felt it and focusing on staying relaxed and tension free when you go back to full volume. I've found this to help me relieve a lot of tension and make higher fuller notes a lot easier.

[@DenisMorissetteJFK]

Could be using the wrong muscles and not using the right ones.

[@ashleecox9806]

Madeleine Harvey's series 'How to Sing High without Strain" has really helped me be more conscious about singing without the help of throat muscles and to be more aware when I fall back into that habit. I suggest consistently practicing those videos until you can do it instinctively.

[@PeatZee]

I agree with Jeremy in literally EVERYTHING. Especially headvoice. I feel in so strongly in my forehead and eyes that once after an entire voice lesson practicing it, it actually triggered a fullblown migraine... so yeah :D Amazing video. Props to you all and keep up the awesome work! Regards from Germany

[@joshuaero3668]

I'm on a video marathon in your channel. Thanks for doing tutorials.

[@jamesavila7183]

For reference, I'm a really light tenor in school for voice right now. For me, chest voice is probably the one that I physically feel the most; I feel a lot of vibrations in my chest especially in my lows. Mix for me depends on the type of mix I'm using and where I am in my range, but in terms of a balanced mix I mostly feel that like right below my cheekbones kinda where Coach Nikki and Tara said they felt theirs. Head voice for me is similar to Coach Jeremie, I feel it just floating above the back of my head on rounded vowels, but in front vowels, I feel it like right in between my eyebrows.

[@KatOnVocals]

Definitely loving this video, thanks for the clear examples and showing the spectrum so people aren’t like “okay I hear what’s right but how do I get to that”. As an intermediate vocal student though, I wish people wouldn’t use the word “push” when it comes to engaging with the diaphragm. It confused me for years. If I wasn’t getting the sound/tone I wanted I would start to push (not as hard but sort of as if I was giving birth lol). This can cause tension now in a *new* spot in your body that isn’t helping with anything + it can make you sing harder, which is just a recipe for disaster

[@littleshadow2707]

Also, this was awesome to include both genders to come in and explain the differences in tonality & techniques between both male & female!

[@ovyeve]

Couldn’t agree more! it’s def harder for me to advise my young adult son how his vocal sound should feel physically in trying to figure out if using his singing voice properly.

[@FirstNameLastName-sc2lm]

When you realize that it’s easy for you to do it wrong vs the coach who finds it difficult to sing bad. 😵

[@AwkwardAlienKaylala]

Thanks y'all! Really appreciate you taking the time to break this down. It helped a lot.

[@themusketeer9458]

Rewatching all singing videos, because i (yet again) hav had a singing revelation, and understand all the content in a completly different way😂 can't wait to see what i learn from this video THIS TIME😂❤ remember guys, if you are not able to get a clear and good sounding tone in your speaking register, just holding a single note, solve that first.. for 6 years i have been watching youtube learning to sing. And last week i finally solved it, and now understand how support works completly. I found it by singing falsetto and feeling how open my throat felt, because the tongue of my root actually relaxed proparly. Singing chest with that feeling fixed everything for me. I do have to conciously open my throat all the time because it is so new, but so fun to finally understand what MY personal problem has been all these years. All exerxices i have done have been mostly useless, and all youtube vidoes as well. Personal trial and error with getting voice to sound as open and round as possible is very important in my opinion. THEN these youtube tips suddenly start to make sense

[@Tarasimonstudios]

So glad to hear you’ve unlocked some new things in your voice. I agree that trying to do things on your own, watching videos can be confusing and often ineffective which is exactly why I created my app. I have mini courses on various vocal topics filled with tips and exercises normally saved for private lessons. Shoot me an Instagram DM at @tarasimonstudios where it’s easier for me to share the link there.

[@Jankuso19]

Thank you for this. I'm not someone who sings to sound great, I sing because it's what my soul needs sometimes... But watching these videos are what I and those close to me needs 😂. I may sing in tune, but the struggle is real - but avoidable it seems - Yay to more singing! 💙

I watched this video, the ones on breath support and probably another one where you “debunked” speech level singing. That “screaming level singing” joke and the lifting exercise gave me instant results! I practiced screaming and shouting in a pillow to get the feeling of a solid breath support and I am already singing so much more self confidently! Now to your videos on head voice :D All great tips, thank you so much! Exercises with other coaches and, even better (imo), with students really prove the points of a singing coach using YT as a platform.

[@undead.rising]

After listening to the likes of Pentatonix and Home Free over the past three years - I've figured out that my proper placement (natural/modal voice) is down lower that most baritones would even sing (throughout the second octave) however the greatest vibrato effect I can create is around the G3/A3. After that I go into mixed voice.

[@ihasfrancoxd2208]

I feel my chest voice in the middle of my chest, my mix being exactly where all three of you felt and my head feeling is like at the top of my head.

Really important part of vocal pedagogy. Thank you

[@MyNameBeeKayy]

So this was an awesome lil gold nugget. I’ve always been concerned that i was causing strain whenever I felt tension in my neck and jaw. Sounds like yes. But my voice sits lower than Jeremie’s (which I would consider the more typical r&b and pop bright tenor voice, where the music market is) so it’s usually “fun” finding my place in contemporary music. Thanks for safe tips!

7:53 Coach Nikki I Think you just properly made the difference between a scream and a note👏👏 I'm trying to say, a note is a note because it has support, a scream is just unsupported and has some sort of strain so, thank you I just leaned that🔥 15:57 I feel my head voice where Tara said she was feeling hers🤔 then again I think it's the pitch because as I go higher, i feel my vibrations where coach Jeremy says he feels it🤔 then again lol Tara said that we have different anatomy so I guess it's that hahaha Overall, I leaned some things here☄ great video🔥

[@englishnight2108]

I know that but when I sing I get confused...Am I screaming or singing a high note? Cuz I feel supported, it's not like I feel any kind of tension, but even though, I don't like the result. Maybe because I don't have a very good vibrato to make the greatest difference.

Not a vocal coach here, but it helps to be super consistent with your air to keep a note straight

I really don’t know if that’s correct or wrong but that how it is for me.

[@Makewomensaneagain]

To strengthen your chest voice and range on it Do they "Hey excercise". So imagine someone has stolen your purse and your yelling , "Hey" at them. Obviously take a supportave breath first. Then go up and down your chest range.
