  1. Hi! For the ones that are new to my name, I am Francis. 15 years of age. i like singing classical, rnb and opera. Maybe some rock too. It's been a long time since I last posted and I was like a newbie way back then. And I am coming back with a song of G. Puccini popularized by Luciano Pavarotti. This is Nessun Dorma. http://picosong.com/Sbbw I had a break somewhere at "Il nome mio nessun sapra" and I really want to ask about that. First, about what the title says. What resonation am I using? Is it chest, head, or mixing? WARNING: The very first part of the clip where I was speaking is very soft. The singing part is VERY loud. So, I recommend turning down the volume for the part after "Here it goes". And, is this proper or not? Do I need to address something first before continuing and finishing the song? All replies will be appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Slash
  2. First of all, I have this video of mine singing Gary Valenciano's How Did You Know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5vpwbMoXrI&feature=youtu.be And I would really appreciate if you'd comment positive and negatives on this cover. Better if the comment was with technicality. The song was quite high for my range though. Haha I hope y'all like it!
  3. You guys are cool. Haha will look into it then. I can sort of like do a decrescendo like that, but I just can't figure out that shift like soind and how to do it. I just usually close my mouth to reduce volume and. Power. I really want that shift thingy. Haha its like a drop of pressure from the diaphragm but what ever I di, I still can't do it. :/ And regarding about that meza di voce teacher, does a chorale instructor know about stuff like training a meza voce? I already heard about this meza voce when researching about operatic techniques and things. Just don't know that this decrescendo technique was under meza voce. Anywy, thanks!!
  4. So, I've been browsing youtube and found this amazing singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ns4S57wXxI He was actually a policeman from the Philippines. However, I find his vocals really special and trained. Can this set of singing skills be achieved through years of singing? Or it needs some kind of training? He is likely a tenor to me. He had this sweet, soft sound mixed with a very nice vibrato. Going back to the question, is there a term for what he did at the last line? The high, belted? note. Specifically, the "how 'MUCH' I love you" part. The very last part, the ending. I think it was a kind of a shift from chesty mix, to a head tone. Is that really it? And what do you use to call it? How is it achieved? Or is it just a "diminuendo"? Confused right now, tbh. Haha Thanks for the replies!
  5. I hear your voice in sensation more of like Gerard Butler's. I've heard this song many times (including the recordings before the movie was released in 2004). I appreciate your song cover. But as said in the movie, It was Phantom of the Opera. It was meant to be operatically sung. It achieved fame lately with Gerard Butler's version (which does not really sing in an operatic way). But, all in all you did a great job. I thought it was a live version of Gerard's. Nice vocals you had and very clean for a beginner. Keep up the good work dude.
  6. My very first acoustic cover. Any suggestions and tips? I feel a bit of pushy and straining sensation at the end. Fisrt time to record in style of poppish way of singing.  There it is.
  7. Here is a clip of my operatic singing. I am inside a room and the room has open parts on the ceiling. The recording laptop was placed near the wall in a opposite direction (not facing the wall). So how does it sound ? Does it lack resonation and power?http://picosong.com/L5vP And here is a clip of me close up with the laptop. I think there are 2 styles used in here. The first one was clearly a belt for me, but the 2nd and 3rd one have a huge, noticeable difference from the first note. What type of sound is that? Here it is: http://picosong.com/L5vX
  8. Could someone please give me a clip of some opera singing within a room or small area? I'd really like to hear what it literally sounds like, more than how it should be defined. This thing got my curiosity now. :3
  9. Uhm. first of all, thanks for the active responses. hahaha the natural sound you mentioned was a soft smooth voice. It is not that resonant and at the same level of my speaking voice. Whenever I try to add volume to the phrases, it sounds like a chesty belt but without neck strain. The second thing, the last high note. It was initiated from a belt, and shifted into what I think is headtone. What I did is add more space in the inner part of my mouth. I think that was in the soft palate. It was much more relax and comfortable more than the raspy and belted sensation. Is it bad to make use of that head tone thing? thanks. ^_^
  10. Sorry for the raspy quality, been having cold and phlegm lately. Hahaha Is it okay already? Thanks.
  11. Here is my record of full operatic voice  http://picosong.com/L9rM I think I already removed the tongue tension and made it more free and I'm shocked for it's kind of more resonant and louder. Hahaha The neighbors have heard it and thought it of somebody fighting. Hahaha XD Is this already correct? The last note was shifted to head tone, and not from the tongue modification. It was a more free tension than the feeling of belting in full voice. Do you think I can go higher than that when in this type of sound? Replies please? Thanks. XD
  12. That is what it really happens when I sing with a low larynx config. Whenever I imagine to lower the larynx, my tongue goes down and make that woofy sound that is too heavy.. That is the only way I can project over a large area. So how could I remove this swallowing habit? Does it affect how I reach even higher notes? Thanks. ^_^
  13. http://picosong.com/LcQf Here is a sample of my operatic voice. Any comments are welcome. Both posi and nega. Hahaha In this quality, any tips on how to fully connect my current range to a higher set of notes? My quality is kind of thicker and heavier type, but does it really matter whether it's heavy or not? Thanks for the replies so far. Maybe I'd upload my coordinated range in a more of rock way. Thanks!
  14. Oh okay. I get it. Fully adducted. Hahaha Maybe if I have much more free time, I'd be able to do a sample of my full operatic voice for you to judge and mention both posi and nega comments. Hahah Thanks for the replies so far. And maybe a clip of my bridging in rock way.
  15. I don't know, but I've watched his vocal range video. And at the top of his notes was like D or Eb. There was an E and F at the end that was a head/falsetto sensation that I think was not in his full opera voice. Isn't that his falsetto?
  16. I do not usually make use of twang related exercises, for I do not merely focus on high head tones. I have this mezzo quality type of voice and sounds like a girl. Hahaha :3 It really sounds like a soprano, but the problem is that everytime I try to go down the notes, there was a big break that insults me out. Haha I think this applies the same to Pavarotti's vocal technique. He sings in full voice, but I think he never did learnt to connect his lower to his upper registers. But he could amazingly sing a High D in full voice. Haha
  17. Thanks for the replies people! So, doe it really matter if I learn the "rock way" and just apply the coordination I got for classical singing? I know they sound really different, but the only difference I see and hear was the projection and covering of sounds (in opera). I have been into Baroque Opera lately, (Pavarotti's) and have practiced my full voice projection. But there's something that bugs me out and says that I should learn the modern operatic style, (Josh Groban's or Il Divo's?) which is somehow lighter in sound (Bel Canto). And to add up, I really like rock songs especially Bon Jovi's. As far as I know, Bon jovi's makes use of a raspy but connected tones throughout his body. I read an article discussing about how to connect the passagios and build up a mix to project in a somehow full voice and necessary twangs in head tone. What I'm really into now, is to discover the coordination I needed and does it matter if I learn from a completely different style? Thanks. Haha
  18. Uhm, hey there! It's been a long time since I opened my acc. in this website, for I'm enjoying my current singing career. So, I'm in a choir right now and I sing baritone or high bass/low tenor. My range for now is G2-G4. I can execute a E2 in a volume of a singer's chest voice. Btw, I've been singing opera lately, (for about 6 months) and I am classified as a baritenor by my instructor. My range in opera was from a brief A2-A#4, 2 octaves and a semitone. Hahaha And I've been wondering if Rock singing could help me extend my voice up to the extent of my cords. I watched videos of connecting the chest to head voice and bringing power towards the passagio. If I could be, somehow, successful in bridging my chest and head in a type of rock way, could I use that in singing classically? Specifically, Bel Canto. That's all my questions now. Hahaha Thanks for the replies in advance.
  19. And one more, I forgot to mention that I've been doing vocal fry in reverse phonation (inhaling). Is that a bad thing to practice? One told me to refrain from doing that because it may irritate my folds. Replies please! Thanks. And by the way, hoping for contributions of vocal exercises. Haha :)
  20. Hi there! Been a long time since I first posted here. My second post. Yaaaay! Anyways, as the title says, I've had some magical type of improvements on my voice which I was glad to. I've been watching some Pro Singing Exercises on YouTube, and found this wonderful guy " Eric Arceneaux " . I've been doing his exercises for 4 days, and I've noticed a huge difference. Been doing a lot of lip rolls with scales , Yah-Yah's, Uh-uh scales, and Vocal Fry executions. When I'm using vocal fry, I just use it to talk. Not like the others are doin', like from fry to head, or fry to whistle. Instead, I talk using the fry. In a period of days, I found it easy to Belt and my head voice seem to improve from a few notes. My voice range ( from my 1st post ) was E2-E4. But as I practiced some exercises, My tessitura now was, C2-F#4 in which I could belt out to A5 and fry up to A2. My head voice had some strong outputs between D3-F4 and the higher ones still seem to be breathy and airy. What I wanna ask is if these exercises really worked out for me (or just a process due to adolescence, since I'm just 14) , and if I should continue it. And if you'd know other useful exercises, You might wanna share it with me. Thanks! Hoping for replies and feedback. :)
  21. Well, it's been a long time since I last checked out this site. Anyway, since my there are no more unanswered questions, I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for spending your time for this thread. Got a little conscious about that biological clock thing. :| Thanks guys. Hope I'd be a great singer too someday. I met my choral conductor and not knowing that she knows I'm posting in this site. :3 She also gave me some advice and a very great comment on my voice. She said that I already had a great range for singing. And being a 14 year old boy, I'd spend more years on finding what my true voice is. Haha XD Well, its nice for me to have time with you guys. Thanks again! See you!
  22. Hmm. Okay, here's one last thing. Never mind the falsetto. Well, I noticed a very big difference in my singing during the night and day. I could reach A5 both in the day and the night, but the thing is I could not execute A5 at the day compared to the A5 in the evening. There is a noticeable level of ease in the evening than that of the day. In the day, It's like reaching a D5 at the night. I could do A5 in the evening just like the way I sing G4 in the morning. Does this have something to do with humidity or Air temp and Pressure? :)
  23. Thanks for the advice ya got there fellas. Good time catching up with you. At first, I'm not looking forward to having a voice coach because I'd seen some pretty good singers that got up to 4+ octaves of range, without trainers and coaches. Some local singers in my state, not to mention but one, Michael "Mitoy" Yonting which had been singing for his entire life and gained 4+ octaves of voice. You may search for him at YouTube. One of my idols out there. Haha JensTP: And just to clear it, I can maximize the volume and weight of my E2 and can reach D2 but not that powerful enough as of my E2. But in times, I cannot reach my D2. Just full of vibrations with a little or no tune at all. Haha ronws: I do believe in your thought, for someone told that to me too. Maybe it's just the way I execute it. Things are already clear up to me now. :cool: And (maybe) my last question: There are times that I've already vocalized where I could execute A5 but another problem was that, I can't seem to execute my falsetto at a lower range. I can only execute it at an octave higher (which seemed to be a problem to me). Any answers there? Thanks for the responses! :)
  24. Jens, is there any way for me to keep my larnyx low and steady as I reach the higher notes? ;)
