All of these frequency points are the same for both singing, and dialogue, hope it helped you!

Goal: get a balanced and natural sound
<100 Hz: High pass
100 Hz: radio warmth for low male voice
200 Hz: warmth of high male and female voices.
300-500 Hz: boxy region (room sound)
600 - 1 kHz: low mid range (some warmth/body, some boxy)
1, 5 - 2, 5 kHz: presence, pops out or dips in the mix
2, 5 - 3, 5 kHz: nasality and presence
4 kHz: harshness/inteligebility. Our ears are very sensitive to this frequency.
6 kHz: clarity
7 - 10 kHz: sibilance
10 - 16 kHz: sizzle
17 - 20 kHz: air, breath

It was incredibly surprising to find something so simple and digestible being this rare. I wish everyone wasting hours on pointless EQ tutorials could just watch this video. This was so helpful.

[Shaiyo]

Finally, a Vocal EQ video that actually explains the specific frequency ranges with clear examples and no background music. Thank you!

[DeadSilent]

9 years into my mixing journey and this is the single most helpful video I've ever seen on EQ

[knorris]

As a audio engineer i found this video to be one of the best EQ videos I've ever seen he explained it so good even a caveman could do it. Great video simple and to the point

Well I just found you. I have the charts with these frequencies all mapped out, but I stumbled across this video and what makes this one so unique from all the others, is you EQ'd your voice through each frequency point. That was, for me, and I'm sure several other newbies, an ah hah moment. Thank you for this. Awesome

[gabebarmerii]

This is literally the best eq tutorial on YouTube bro 👍🏽

[AG_before]

Finally, someone covering it all, without showing off what they can do, and instead bookmarking reference points and explaining them so that we have a starting point.
Thank you for this! 🙏

[ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

Finally someone explains frequencies to me in a way that I can actually understand. Thanks!

8:55 "You should know exactly what you are trying to accomplish, before you start turning knobs" 🙏 Word! I can't stress enough how being aware of that helped me find that right sound of something I was looking for. In sound design, tiny parameter changes can make a huge difference 🎵

Reference tracks are by far the key in whatever mix you want it to sound like.. reference reference reference.. listen to a song you love and would like to hear… EVERY ALBUM ON EVERY ARTIST have a DIFFERENT TONALITY.. don’t go in blind mixing.. understand what your goal is.. reference it.. don’t ever in your life be a person and try to reach a goal when you don’t even know what the goal is.. if you’re willing to reference (listen) and do the work.. then by god your halfway already there

[billesposito]

Finally .I've seen numerous eq tutorials but never so cut and dry . Last eq tutorial for me. Very easy to grasp . Thank you.

[MattGarwood]

You’ve created the default video every (newish or curious) mixer should reference. Well done - would you consider doing a similar eq walkthrough on other popular music elements? Drums, bass, piano, acoustic and electric guitars? Again, DUDE - well done!

[joshuasmith]

You're like the wine connoisseur of EQ. Honestly, jokes aside, you describing the way they sound is invaluable information. It's easy to reply on presets while forgetting that the most important "plug in" you own are your ears. If you learn to trust them, you can create from the most important part of you., your heart. Cheers. Great tutorial.

[iAmSkyWalkerJr]

This was the best explanation of eq’ing. I never truly understood it until I came across this video. You got my subscription! I’m about to watch the compression video next

[DJMOS]

this is the best explanation of EQ for vocals I've seen in my 10 years watching youtube tutorials. well done.

[calimusic]

One of the best videos I’ve seen on this. Btw love using fab filter and a U87!

[BrutalTV]

Best video about eq i ever found, thank you!

[alloverasaur]

Genuinely super helpful. Been songwriting, producing and singing for less than a year but your videos have been a real help. Hopefully by next year I can get my sound to where it is in my imagination 😅
