How Low Voice Types can NAIL High Notes! (hint: not mixed voice this time)

Axl Rose and Noah Sebastian understand and use this concept constantly with their expansive range and expressiveness!

80% of your channel is literally “here’s how to find your mixed voice” in 1000 different ways and I’m all the way here for it. Preach 🤘🏻

"Nowhere to run" (15x) in a high pitched voice, thankfully I'm home alone.

Strengthening my falsetto made all the difference. It even fixed my tendency to get stuck in whistle register!

As a working singer for 20 yrs I gotta tell you man, your videos are priceless. Your approach to vocalising and voice creation is amazing. Also I really admire how you admire singers, music and songs. All I can say is thanks for the great tips and keep up the amazing work!!!

Axl was a good example because that dude has such a low voice yet he’s able to hit ridiculously high and low notes. A great example would have been to use the line around the 3 minute mark of IRS- almost sounds like a dolphin whale whistle

I've been taking vocal lessons for the past year and somehow, anytime I make a discovery with my voice, you upload the perfect video to enunciate what I've been experiencing :D Don't know how you do it, but keep at it. :D Love your content!

Forgetting about classifications and focusing on vocal weight, that’s solid advice, thank you so much! Extremely helpful. 🙏👍

Jonathan Young is a great example of that and a proof that basses can sing the high metal vocals.
Btw, Chris, it'd be awesome if you could check and analyse some of his stuff.

[bryanharrison]

teaching a controllable, relaxed twang engage to a singer is one of the most difficult tasks. Good on you.

Bro, you have a great voice. A lot of these youtube voice people comment but they can't actually sing for shit. You're great at this.

I was diagnosed as a baritone by a classical vocal teacher. The limit to my range was an A4.

For a while I def thought “that’s just how it is” but I always gravitated towards singing tenor vocal lines. I did it wrong for a long time, and I sounded absolutely horrible, but I kept trying.

Whether or not she was right with her diagnosis - I’ve topped out at a C6 that is usable (although probably only for power metal purposes 😂). I’m not claiming to have mastered my voice, but I can absolutely sing above my original baritone range comfortably and for long periods. It’s exactly like Chris talks about - it’s all about mix-voice and practicing how to blend chest/head so that you can “trick” everyone into thinking there’s a lot more power in the highs than there actually is.

Also: harsh vocals can absolutely help singing too. I was always able to hit pitched high screams way before I could sing them. It taught me a lot about breath control, placement, and compression. Love this channel! 🤘

Hey Chris, I just wanna say thank you for posting these vids. As a Bass 90's Grunge loving guy I was always told I could never sing high like Cornell or Layne, but now I feel some hope. Love your work!

The thing that helped me figure singing higher out more than anything was simply understanding vocal cord closure. You should do a video on that when you get a chance, it’s a game changer!

[BufferStuffBuddha]

Finally discovering this exact thing was one of the biggest breakthroughs I've ever had. The other being always keeping some type of forward placement so that I don't swallow my words and raise my larynx as I go higher in my range.

Ok now it's much more clear to me, I've been thinning my voice resonece and going up and down with it and mixing it with pitch and i didn't know all the terms but now i have a clearer image of what im doing. Thank you Chris👍🏼

[Sixsoul]

Filling yet another gap in my knowledge that I didn't even know existed! Immediate improvements made just by watching and applying what's in this video. You really are the best teacher of anything I've ever come across by a mile. Thank you Chris 🙏

[gladynoynay]

Thank big a lot from you chrisb. Now ive learned a lot as an ordinary aspiring vocalist. This channel helps me alot in my journey.. 🙏👍👍👏

[tammyb]

OMG... This worked! I've been trying to hit the high notes in Heart's "Barracuda" for years! YEARS!!!

After watching this video, I tried just using less air.... in fact actually holding my breath, and I was able to hit that note (F# 5) and HIGHER!! Wow, this is exciting!

Was that all I needed to do?? Geeeeze. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[mwylie]

Chris, thank you so much for all the effort you put into these videos, i am a contrabass and my chest range is from B1-B3, i thought i would never be able to access my higher range and sing the way i have dreamed of, but thanks to your videos and a lot of practice, i have been able to unlock my mix voice and get up to higher 4th octave. Keep up the great work!
