Wait until you realize the lessons are about mongolian shamanist singing.

I lol'd.

Lol

Mr Anderson,pay your attention to the lesson itself!

Elrond's taken a turn...

plot twist: the pig was squealing while he was attempting to throat sing

my neighbour just blasted WAP today a fee hoirs back, lmho i feel you

I don't think it's a "professional approach", I just think he's doing a better job of actually explaining the technique.

Good observation about the flakier descriptions, beautiful they may be, but they remain only words. But those words of flake might be the ones that work for some! There is no right or wrong in the practice; well, unless you consider pain "wrong" and comfort "right." But those states too are subjective.

Alex Glenfield Absolutely, which is why I appreciate your work here even more. It’s a bit more grounded than most other teachers of the techniques, and caters to a different audience. Ideally, we’d all look at all sources (there aren’t many, after all), but I must say this one is more helpful than others, for me. So thanks.

Third grade and already a remarkable voice! I went through a lot of years of molasses and vinegar before I turned to chocolate! Well done, Casey. Well done.

This guy is not in the third grade.

YES POPEYE TALKS IN KARGYRAA ;)

yep, K A R G Y R A A

There's a video about that which is very funny

I love your profile picture it’s one of my fav albums

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAGAGAGAGAG

my wife hates when i do throat singing. I am a big fan of Heilung and Wardruna.

Same here hehe! I fricking love it

Same here 🙌

Woman here too. But my attempts to sing Kargyraa are not that good. It’s sound like a cross motorbike and not like the bear or tiger like him 🤔

Oh wow! So interesting to learn this. Here's an example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mb2GdrCnx63HgHU.html

Ha I had a few moments like that and went wow finally got it then couldn't repeat it afterwards lol

@@darthbane2669 ah i got it again. And now I can do it perfectly without having to find the “sweet spot “ haha

@@federz666 nice

I learned Kargyraa 1st and am starting to learn how to use it for growls. really cool tbh

...and if you already know how to do false cord death metal growls, picking up basic kargyraa comes pretty easy! I was expecting a steeper learning curve but I'm not gonna complain about having already done half the hard part!

You can also apply the same technique to fry & get subharmonics technique. Which many Bass vocalists use for going ultra low.

Thats why I learned kargyraa first (to do death metal vocals) and it was super helpful for death growls because I have a ton of control over the false cords now and am able to alter my voice to sound like many different vocalists. I don't think that would be possible without throat singing to get my false cords moving easier and allow for me to have more control over them. A lot of tutorials just have you sigh and bark and stuff without ever learning to activate and isolate the false cords like throat singing does so I think a lot of people just do breathy screams and have their false cords flap in the wind instead of being able to sing through them.

I actually first learned about throat singing when I was practicing more "out there" death metal vocal styles! Been captivated ever since, and now I'm finally taking the steps to learn it proper. My Golden Horde ancestors will be so proud lol

Also youre very similar to Andrew Bernard from The Office. I wish he coul also throat sing, it would be a good material for a few episodes

I still love your video and keep on practicing thanks to your tips. I’ve been practicing for 4 months now and I think I finally found how to do Xoomei. For Kargyraa, I can vibrate my false vocal folds easily for weeks now but it definitely doesn’t sound great. I don’t get why. I‘ve seen Tuvan women singing just like you on youtube so it may not be that. What should I do ? Can you help me if I send you a video of what I can do ?

Youll get it, fit for woman throat, but you can do the same, itll take constant practicing.

@@pubbahubbabba Thank you. I’m practicing for about 1 year now and I still don’t understand what I’m doing. When I watch some videos of Mongolian woman singing « Kaargyra » it sounds like when someone imitates a motorbike engine, or when you juste wake up and say « mmmmh ». According to my phone, this create a sound 1 octave below my natural voice. I can easily switch it on and off while speaking or singing. But... I also watched a video of an italian woman « throat singing » and it was very deeper, and extremely sounding like « Kargyraa » men singing. When I try it, it is more difficult, It makes me cough, and I have to cough to find the right sensation. I have to place my throat in a different way to get that sound. But this is called Kargyraa too and what you are doing right here. So my question is, what’s the difference between the first throat singing I described and the second ? Is there a name for that first one ? Or is it naturally how men sings ? Why is it called Kargyraa on some women video ? Because it is really not the same thing. I don’t know if you can help. Thanks !

@@allosauruski did you tried this video?: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMV7Z8eeyLGVqZc.html

I have seen some videos of women singing super low notes.

I can do it, but it might be harder if you're a soprano than for me as an alto to get the low tones to sound right, and you'll probably not be able to go AS low. I can't go as low as most men can.

Yes, tickling and coughing are typical, but the urge to cough should pass as false vocal folds become acclimated to motion.

@@Glenfuch when using your false vocal chords, are you continuing to use your actual vocal chords, or are you only using false vocal chords?

@@IsaacW. it's a tandem between true folds and false folds, working together

@@giovannibortoluzzi1384 thanks

I cough every time or it straight up cuts off as soon as I finally get it just right and cant seem to repeat it.

The hu is poggers

Yes, at first I recall my throat parts attempting to lubricate because my body believed something was wrong. It takes a little time for the body to accept the sensation. Again, it is not typical to sing in this way.

@@Glenfuch Awesome! thank you!

Lots of relaxing via throat singing

@@ericdenney336 sounds like it!

Throat singing has secrets about energy over the body.😊

What, latin? Shouldn't you be on a Gregorian Chant video? Unless you like the intro to Ensemble Organum's 'Salve Regina'.

It's not out yet, but soon will be! A tune called Mirage by Ravi Padmanabha.

@@Glenfuch Thank you for your reply Alex, we look forward to hearing it! Love from a fellow Canadian throat singer

Yeah, it'll go away with practice

If you can sing a straight note with little to no shakiness then you're halfway there. Download an app that displays the note you're singing, and simply familiarize yourself with the minor pentatonic scale (5 notes blues scale) Practicing scales and staying in pitch will help you not hurt your throat, and inevitably you will be able to sing lower. And no need to over-do it, if there's pain then a break is what's needed. It's just like building biceps. I'll even notice sometimes after weeks of stopping that I have improved by simply taking a break. Also not getting lightheaded helps, and will improve over time

Yes, it absolutely sucks learning how to do it. I spent a year trying to get it before I finally could do it (sometimes attempting for a couple hours a day). Now its super easy but it takes a long time to get to that point. The thing about the false cords not moving at first was absolutely true for me and I had to use a lot of force at first to "break them in". (Basically I had to use a lot of constriction and a forceful cough which vibrated my false cords but irritated my throat). Now its easy with no irritation and I can do this very delicately or medium or hard, control of it takes a lot of time and practice.

If you strain your voice too much it will give you a sore throat. He explains "finding the least resistance voice" in either the khoomei video or this one...can't remember. But the least resistance voice/sound is what you want, it'll strain your vocals the least. I've been learning throat singing for a while now and still get a sore/irritated throat from Kargyraa when I go for a long time or try to push out really extreme notes too much...drink TONS of water or not too hot tea with lemon, honey and or ginger it'll help soothe your voice and let you practice longer. Frequent breaks can help too in the beginning....don't over do it. Hope this helps :)

Funny you should say that, I was only thinking the same... I’ve been singing deep death metal growls for years and once I finally got the feel for this throat singing, it felt very familiar... my theory is that this throat singing is the vocals cords and false cords oscillating in harmony, whereas death metal growls is mostly the false cords oscillating inharminically, with a lot more energy.

No, but if you continue doing it even after it starts paining, then there is a chance it can make your throat sore (only for a very short period of time)

Thanks for catching it! Changed it a while back and never properly thanked you.

This happens to me every time I try to sing at church, in the middle of the melody I start to uncontrollably yawn, which makes me just want to shut up.
