you are most welcome. what was valuable for you with this video?

💪😎

Happy to share on this and I have a lot to say on this, but I’m not clear if you’re genuinely asking me something or just being snarky and angry.

​@@philmoufarrege I'm asking for sure! I like your content but the whole "it's all just chest voice" thing seems to make things really hard to follow, in a literal/practical sense. Like, in this video you talk about "the other chest voice". Ok... So I wanted to check if you had other videos about "the other chest voice" but since all of your videos are about "chest voice", that would be impossible to find. Btw, I understand that with this you mean something like "M1", and this is good advice in general. But maybe the reason people classify things and give them all the silly names is so that you can at least "index" the different approaches to singing. Because just referring to things as "the chest voice" and "these n approaches to refined chest voice" and "this other kind of chest voice", etc, makes it so you can't know what is happening. One thing is that, when people are recording with microphones, on our side we have no clue what is the actual volume the person is singing in the video. So in this particular video here, I listened a few times and I have nooo clue what the guy is doing or trying to do. Also it seems to me from my own practice that pharyngeal voice and actual mixing of M1 and M2, together with messa di voce exercices (which are literally impossible above the passaggio if you can't mix actual M1 and M2) are huge secrets to good singing. You seem to go with a different approach, so it is pretty surprising and a kind of wtf moment to see you doing this kind of "yodelling" between "two kinds of chest voice", it threw me off balance on my understanding of things a little bit. Of course I do want to hear from you and I don't mean any of this as a criticism but only to expose the confusion!

@@philmoufarrege Actually in this video it sounds like he's just opening and closing the soft palate.

that's a big wall of text! as I said I'm happy to share...there must be some reason why I label things the way I do 😎...do you have a specific question?

without hearing you I can only guess at the problem! A good place to start might be to do a plank and get used to speaking and singing while in that position first.

Same issue man. Doing planks while singing seems like a good start, I'll do it haha

what have you been doing to address this?

dude this is fucking badass!

Yes!!! Great eye!!! 💪💪💪

Rare exercise, especially the singing version. 😂

@@jesses.9843😎 so cool u guys are into this this niche stuff lol

😎

sorry are you asking something ? didn't quite understand what you're saying

dunno, I can go as low as I want. I naturally have a low voice, so going low is easy. why do you ask?

@@philmoufarrege Because I think low notes and lower singing voices are a bit underrated. Don’t know if that’s true?

dunno dude all of my favorite stuff demands high range. Being able to go from my low range and go up without my voice getting stuck or without me having to think or worry about anything was what I struggled with the most.

this video will be important for you ua-cam.com/video/JWjbdmHma8s/v-deo.html&lc=Ugzq3H9IradAmWw7Ehrd4AaABAg best of luck and if you want to go deeper and work with me don't hesitate to reach out

okay 🤣

awesome, what did you think about it?

@@philmoufarrege Thanks my man!

awesome! what was helpful about it for you?

best of luck, and if you need help don't hesitate to reach out.

glad it was beneficial for you!

never been called uncle before ha ha

I've helped many people recover from vocal damage and nodules!

I go through this phase to build the vocal range, stability, compression and stable larynx. once this is automated we then begin balancing the overly squeezed thing by sending more airflow through. this gets to the point where the squeeze is completely hidden but still very loud and rigid feeling. then the next step is we begin softening and loosening the squeeze which you can see in this video: ua-cam.com/video/7X-CFTg7F7A/v-deo.html&lc=Ugwy42ls61OuhZqaKet4AaABAg this then gives the effortlessness, flexibility and ease but because we've built all the strength and compression in the earlier phases it allows the softening to happen without any loss of stability in the voice hope this helps

Yes. It's bad

no, feels very comfortable - I could do this less "heavy" and it would give it a more relaxed released sound. But to even get to that sound I usually warm up with this heavier one first anyway

@Dadaadad268 hah fair enough. I could have not posted this and practiced this song for a few weeks to get it polished and pretty and then posted a clip of that. But I'm realizing that for me to enjoy this yt channel, I much prefer just showing everything if that makes sense. someone was asking me about my approach to get to these kinds of high ranged singing notes so I just off the cuff put the song on listened and went for it, no preparation, no previous practice of this song. so it is what it is. I could hide that or I could show it. I'm not really interested in trying to just present a 1 dimensional representation of my life 🤷‍♂️

​@@philmoufarrege I think UA-cam really needs this content, everyone is so deep into "perfect" sounds, everyone thinks you have to be in that perfect sound from the get go, or else everyone tells you you're straining.. Which leads people off track, and doing falsetto to no avail.

It may be because you're assuming the problems you are having are meant to be fixed with it. A lot of people's issues are not actually stemming from breathing issues they are usually stemming from compression and larynx stability issues and they try to fix those with breathing exercises which doesn't work. That's why this video is just a preliminary step as opposed to the final answer. highly recommend watching the other videos I have.

that's kinda what spurred (is that even a word lol) this video - in my singing group we were talking about robert plant's voice and how he does stuff live etc what kinda set up he sings in etc. so I quickly recorded this thing to show how I'd do it. Maybe I should make a video showing the discussion we had ? would that be helpful?

@@philmoufarrege Absolutely!

Thanks, I’m on it ha ha. Can you tell me more about how you improved thru these videos? Super interested!

Well, you show many examples of what you're talking about and many variations by doing it yourself, which is how I learn the quickest. You explain in a simple way, concepts that other channels overcomplicate way too much. All you say make sense and don't leave me more confused after. Most channels, after 20-30 mins videos, I get even more lost, not here. Yours are packed with gems. I got much better at using my support/core and lessen tension in my throat when singing high, mostly from watching your videos. Also my range definitely increased! So thank you for those videos! I know they're time consuming and not necessarily that lucrative but they are greatly appreciated and always welcome.

@@Silvertf2 thanks for sharing! that's super encouraging!

check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/7X-CFTg7F7A/v-deo.html&lc=Ugwy42ls61OuhZqaKet4AaABAg before softening the chest voice though you really gotta build enough strength with it loud and high up in the range, so if you're cracking then trying to soften it will probably only make the cracks worse as it will become more unstable. you gotta develop the chest strong and loud so that you don't have any cracks and can take it up high then once that's solid you can begin softening it.

very welcome!

definitely not stuck. I build the mix through chest voice development and refining the chest voice. first expanding range loudly, then learning to access softer volumes of it.

yeah, check this one out you might find it interesting ua-cam.com/video/7X-CFTg7F7A/v-deo.html&lc=UgzZbnBb8OQI-z5KWLh4AaABAg

amazing! this is just the beginning too!

yes - provided you are in the same coordination I show here. if not, then tilting the head back will make it harder and not be helpful.

would need to hear what you're doing to offer any kind of meaningful feedback.

@@philmoufarrege aw man. Well I might figure it out eventually.

awesome. if you can do the things I show in this video then the next step will be the following video ua-cam.com/video/JWjbdmHma8s/v-deo.html&lc=UgxiqSTfownSyZq6CJt4AaABAg don't worry about the horrible tone it will be there for a while.

@@philmoufarrege thank you so much!

that's awesome you got something out of this!

Thanks brother

cheers 🍻
