Elvis Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It seems i have been pulling chest alot and thus i would break horribly. After getting some tips in this forum i tried something and it seems to be working, or at least i think it is. So is the sound in the clip a step forward to reaching head voice or am i just masking falssetto in a way. https://app.box.com/s/gsloiqqnrccjqm6m35xydo3mo6usnr8j Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Korzec Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 no that's head voice good job. try to see if you can sing songs in the coordination you did for this slide and see how it sounds. You are doing many things correctly already now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Korzec Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You did go toward falsetto at the middle but you stayed relatively connected to your chest voice which is good, and that top C# or so is definitely head voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is i just realised i can do this and i cant really sing like this...in fact i have to choose between chest and head.. the middle or the falsetto u mentioned is i guess a bridge that i cant seamlessly connect.. thats why its falsetto in fhe middle.. But now that i am on the right track ill look into strenghtening the bridge :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerKu Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It sounds right to me. If you're having trouble singing it in real world scenarios, you might want to try every vowel in a siren isolated. It's often certain vowels will want to break more than others. By the way, if I siren like the OP, it is extremely loud. In an apartment building this is like screaming at my neighbors and living in a city finding an isolated forest isn't always an option. For the singing experts here, does anyone have good advice on getting a medium volume, and connected head voice? Daniel says it's almost like adding resonance to falsetto here, which is most similar to what I currently do. Although I also do a plaintive twangy sound, so it's not just resonance. But even my version can be quite loud and it doesn't sound heavy metal or anything. Daniel has a lot more control than I do, and unless the audio is compressed can do it at what seem like lower volumes than I can. So for people who don't have living situation that support as much screaming, any good exercises or tips to work on that would build them a similar configuration but not get them evicted?

Elvis Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes it is quite loud, but it isnt yelling..i did this at work..i work as a tehnician in a museum and this was recorded in a wc in some chuch designed for galleries xD Also wovels arent a problem..but closed ones 'e' for example is harder but i shade if towards 'a' to make things easier..

KillerKu Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, I know you aren't just yelling. You're doing it right. I've done a pure yelling wail and they are extremely loud too, but I can hear a bit of the scream tone coming in on the top though with a bit of 'ehr' vowel creeping in. I just know every time I've come close to that scream tone it is just... Eviction territory. Having a job where you could have an isolated place to sing would be cool. Right now I'm not even driving, so I'm not going to siren in a bus or taxi like a lot of car singers. As a compromise I've been hum singing some of the louder postures. Not sure if it is a good or bad idea, but it beats eviction. I agree on E. If I leave my E alone it wants to break. Most of my favorite singers do E differently. Levi Stubbs sounds like he has kind of a dopier sound but it is strong. David Ruffin sounds like he's in the middle of a dipthong a lot of the time like 'ray eeen, tih ears.' Going towards other vowels does make carrying it with a larger sound more possible. I wonder how big the pure E vowel can get. Any experts want to demonstrate?

Elvis Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ill record trying to sing in the upper register..u will see what happens and it isnt preety...i have some wierd timbre up there...sounds funny to say the least...but its a step in the right direction i guess... It has some catlike quality when i sing up there xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some catlike quality when i sing up there xD I'm familiar with the dying cat. I know it all too well. I look forward to it hearing someone else's version. I gave MDEW a version awhile back to help him with an Elton John tune as what not to do. But hopefully someone better with a better traditional head voice will be able to help you escape it more efficiently. When I get catty though and want to do it right, I've got one inspiration: The 'cool nasally, twangy cat' survives! But yeah if you twang just right, it's like a car running over a cat's tail. Raowrr!!! Sometimes they just don't make it. Edit: Ooh, I'm part of the club. I just went for it today so the neighbors at best would hear two ridiculous noises. https://soundcloud.com/killerku/siren It looks like the stuff up to Eb5 might have been going falsetto based on the volume decreasing. But yeah, as I expected, too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sound twangy and connected. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sound twangy and connected. Nice job! hehe thanks...i must confess now that im having trouble recreating that sound... When i recorded that it was 30minutes of pure adrenaline...i could do it with ease and i decided to record it imidiatelly because that was first time i was able to do that.. now it seems i just go into reinforced falsetto thats so airy i cant hold a note for longer then 5sec, let alone sing there...3 words and im out xD Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice.....

RowboCaup Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 That's exactly how it was when I started. As you practice it, you'll get better at the coordination and know exactly how to do it; then before you know it you're throwing those high notes like it's nobody's business.
