You Won't Sing Effortlessly Until You Get This

[ElyWill]

Key advice so many struggling singers need to know. 💪🏼So grateful to you & those who emphasize this heavily in the beginning. So much time is wasted on the opposite. 👏🏼

I have got to say. For months I tried to make my head voice sound full and powerful. Because I thought after I hit my highest note in chest that's it. Yesterday I hit a not 1.5 steps above my highest. And I am quickly realizing that I need to just strenghten my chest voice as much as I possibly can. I searching how to do it in a safe way and you are awesome. Edit: Just hit a G4. Absolutely nuts. Yes it was a little bit "pulled" or kind of strained but only a little bit. I sustained it and it didn't crack. I am working on my vowels. Btw I know I am doing something right because before I could barely hit E4 and it was always cracking and my voice hurt, afterwards it was hoarse from just 3 attempts. I have practiced this for 3 days now and I haven't hurt myself. The plan is this, learn to sing, get rich & by my momma a house. :)

I've started hitting G4 very stable as a male, im very thankful of all your teachings i’ve learned a lot from you, its also got like a resonance type of sound like it sounds much higher could that be like a G5 overtone, its probably mix right ?

I could be definitely wrong here but i used a pitch detector and i definitely get tones on G4 and G5 hitting on the thingy showing me

your videos are always eye openers for me! Thank you so much! Phil, can you do a video `transpose a song fitting to your voice`? I mean finding the sweet spot, sounding and feeling good. As a singer I have no problem with capos like most of the guitarists! Guess many singers will be glad about it! Thanks for all your work.

This has explained so much more to my singing. One time when I was singing with my friends, there were many high notes and I somehow managed to sing by strengthen my chest voice, i was hitting an C5 somehow( and i am a baritone lol)

Hey Phil will you upload some example exercises on youtube? I think i've found what I have been looking for (I mean approach to singing high) but I would really appreciate if you uploaded some exercises that can build up strength in chest voice :)

Hello Phil…! You probably might’ve not run into a comment like this before, so basically I had a viral infection that unfortunately altered my voice, quite a horrible time for me. Before that I had a slightly decent vocal range before getting sick, but I wasn’t that good of a singer. Now my speaking voice is much higher than it originally was I assume that’s severe vocal damage from an illness. I recovered from having so illness but it still left my voice changed, it’s to the point where I sound extremely child-like so with that type of voice how do I strengthen it…?

Can I heal vocal polyps by vocal therapy?? please tell me 🌹

Hey! First of all thanks for all the amazing content on your channel. I discovered it recently and have learned a lot about my voice. 👌

I have a question. Once the strength is there, how do you maintain it? Is it enough if you warm up by singing some scales and then just sing songs that are challenging enough, or does maintaining the strength usually require dedicated practice sessions.

Hey Phil! Just a question here. Last month I suffered a horrible flu bug and got myself cured in 2 weeks. However, during that period I lost my voice for a few days (around 4-5 days if I reckon), and although it has returned, my second bridge around Ab4-A4 has become very inconsistent after that. Also, after practicing I tend to get cough reflexes that I have to stop even though I do not hurt myself or apply too much effort (to not end up being hoarse).

Does this sort of inconsistency mean that I still have to rest my voice longer? And if so, how long does it take for the voice to go back to its normal shape again? Thanks Phil!

Hey Phil !, one quick question, that squeeze that we need to train needs to come from flexing the diaghfram or from the back of the throat?

[jason]

Nice video. Any advice for people that easily run of breath when singing very long phrases?

[arpit]

What is the yardstick of a strong voice I mean up till when should we do those squeezing sounds. When can I say that now I have a strong voice

[jm]

So when practicing like this, what is the signal to back off and rest? Should we stay away of hoarseness, itchiness and pain? How big of a dosage/how long each day doing exercises like shown in the video to develop the voice?

phil, ive been following your channel for quite some time now but theres something i still dont understand completly,
is there a point on the male belting range lets say eb4 to D5 per say where the voice goes to a head voice dominant position while sounding chesty? if so wheres that point, ive been singing for so many years and i sound rlly good up to a4 but past there some days i will have like a mindset of staying in chest voice and sometimes it works but its rlly inconsistent and some days i will just feel like its impossible to carry any chest voice higher than a4 or even lower.
Does it have to do with my voice not being rested enough or something? somtetimes i feel like my falsetto is disapearing and getting too airy...
what are your advices for me? and trust me man i want to save money so i can take lessons with you in the future.
But im quite desperate already. Pls Phil give me some advices, you are the only vocal teacher i trust, lova ya man

[joel-tktl]

I can't find the application form to join your class after watching the video on your website, could you please help me with that

[dbanksey]

Hmm, you watch this video, and then realise your chest voice needs so much more work.

[slowfuse]

really? isnt that what people say not to do because it creates bad habits and can do damage?

[carlosbautista]

I can’t believe this guy is teaching and he’s squeezing the mums 😂. That is terrible smh 🤦
