Hi, Guys... Ken Tamplin from Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, and I'm going to teach you a little bit about the voice, and voice lessons today. This is part 1 in a three-part series on
How to Increase Vocal Range for Males How to Increase Vocal Range, or How to
Improve Vocal Range Well, that's a big subject, and there's a lot of
information floating around there that can be very, very confusing, and I'd like
to demystify this for you a little bit. There's really only one way to safely
grow your range, or improve your vocal range, and this is how: First we have two
components: We have something called our "Chest Voice" and something called our
"Head Voice", which is also interchangeably called "falsetto". I don't want to go into
all the details, because some of these definitions can mean different things to
different people. One person might call head voice "HEYYYYYY" or anything that resonates in the head
while another person might call head voice "eeeeeeeeeeee" or anything thing that resonates in a falsetto register. So for my purpose, I'm going to use the term "head voice" to talk about
reinforced falsetto, not just something that resonates into the head, as what
classically is termed "head voice", OK? Now, So we have chest voice, and what we want to do is, we want to stretch and grow our chest voice as high as we can. Now, I cover this in my "How To Sing
Better Than Anyone Else" course, where first we stretch and grow a big,
powerful, robust chest sound, and I'll demonstrate, let's do this together, with
a nice, bright, "AH", males, you're gonna start here, ladies, you're actually gonna be up
and I'll show you where you would come in, in a minute. But we're gonna start with an "AH" vowel. Let's go: "Lah, ah, ah, AH, ah, ah, ah... Nice, Bright, Open Throat, where if you had a mirror you could look back in your throat and your tongue will be dropped to the base of the jaw,
and you're creating the maximum amount of space in the back of your throat, with
good diaphragmatic support, and relaxing and not letting the shoulders, the chest, neck, or throat create tension. LAH, ah, ah, AH, ah, ah, ahhh... Now, for most baritones, and high baritones, this is about the breaking point for you, where you feel so much "tug" in the throat, where you want to transition from your chest voice and "flip" into your falsetto. Now, ladies for the Alto and Contraltos, most of you start here. Lah, ah, ah, AH, ah, ah, ahhhh... Now ladies, most of you start to feel the tug
around the "C", the "high tenor C" or the D, and that's the D5, or the C5, the beginning of the C5 that's the highest note in the tenor range, or "one of the highest notes" in the tenor range
the tender age of one of the highest in the tenor range is about where you start
to feel that tug, where you wanna flip into your head voice. So what we do is we use
our diaphragm and the strength in our abdomen, to relax our chest, our neck, and our throat, to have that nice, bright sound, with that Big Open Throat we just talked about, where the uvula and the soft
palate in the back of the throat rises as we start to ascend these scales... This
