I've been wondering how this is done correctly, thanks for the lesson. I think Sarah McLachlan was the first singer I heard use it as a color. You have a beautiful voice and are a good teacher, thank you!

THANK YOU!!! You just taught me how to do "Vocal Flips". "All of me" was the perfect example for me. At the beginning I was trying to do the vocal flip but the transition between chest and head was too smooth. So I kept trying until I figured it out. It's still not perfect It takes time and patience. Thank You!

I have been singing for so many years and always thought this „pop flip“ was impossible for me to do which made me so sad. Turned out I always tried to do it in a wrong way I think. After years of trying, your video was the first one that helped me, I have watched it many times and all of a sudden there was a „flip“ :) I am so happy, now I have so many more opportunities in singing. Of course it doesn’t work every time, it feels like I have to sing kind of loudly to get a „flip“ I guess it still needs practice .But I just wanted to say thank you so much !

@Rosannasfriend Жыл бұрын

It’s funny… I was thinking that for “all of me“ I would need to change the vowel on the word “all“ in order to properly make that flip, and just after I say that you gave us an example using “baa baa baa oo!” oh. Ha ha. So I made the right decision with the vowel!

@CamillevanNiekerkMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Best exercises to get you started are "bratty" sounds like NAY (that helps bring the vocal folds together, whether in mix or head voice) and straw phonation (see Singing Straw here on KZfaq for tons of warmups with a straw, and you can just use a regular drinking straw).

@liel3017 2 жыл бұрын

I found my chest and head voice, and I can make a transition from chest to head voice, but I think it sounds a little too smooth and I don't know how to not make it smooth, is there something I can do about it? Or do you think that if I keep practicing I'll eventually make it sound better?

@nanb7149 Жыл бұрын

Beautiful taught. I'm wondering how to do a vocal flip at the end of a phrase when you're not going to another note. How is that done? Is that just breaking on the note you are on? Kelly Clarkson does this a lot, and it's so pretty

@GeorgieFeatLove 3 жыл бұрын

Could u record a video about how to improve the headvoice?

@CamillevanNiekerkMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Good idea, Georgie! My best advice in the meantime is to use partially closed exercises (like humming, singing on an NN or NG, lip trills, or straw singing). These kinds of exercises line up your vocal folds and make it easier for them!

@CamillevanNiekerkMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely: (1) try singing heavier than normal in chest voice and lighter than normal (even an airy/breathy tone) in head voice; (2) use wider vowels in chest voice (like EY or A as in cat) and narrower vowels (like OO or EE) in head voice while you’re training that coordination. Hope those tips help - let me know how it goes!

I feel like there isn't enough contrast between my chest (mixed?) voice and my head voice, so the flip isn't very noticeable. I think I need to figure out how to make the tone of my head voice airier. :/ Anyone else have this issue?

@CamillevanNiekerkMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Singers who more naturally "mix" often have trouble finding that distinction! It helps to sing a bit heavier/louder in chest voice to exaggerate the flip; it also helps to use very wide, open vowels (like HEY or YEAH) in chest and closed, narrow vowels (like HEE or HOO) in head voice. Hope that helps!

@CamillevanNiekerkMusic 3 жыл бұрын

First get comfortable singing in chest voice, then spend some time in head voice (singing on a hum, owl hoot, through a straw, etc - every day that you can!); it’ll be easier to flip between the two once you’ve gained some comfort in head voice.
