david ckwee Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hmm, Anyone has any idea about singing techniques? Im a classically trained Countertenor (Sop2, to be exact), but I just realised that other than my falsetto range, my real range kinda is not that good, when i apply the technique I use in falsetto singing, everything just goes off. :angry: Anyone has any views on this?

tenor10 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Im a classically trained baritone - could you explain more about your post. Are you talking about the passagio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david ckwee Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 nope, just my chest and middle registers in general-I just cant grasp the essence of singing in my male tones. I have been told that my real voice sounds very Nasal and throaty, and yes, I have heard myself singing in my real range, it is very erm, yeah. But it doesnt happen when I sing falsetto. (My voice tutor made me a countertenor because of this, but I just wanted to make sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenor10 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Maybe its your pallet. That might be part of the nasality. If you just open a lot you might get the real grasp of your range......is that it? (just trying to help :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EldKatt Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I you have a voice tutor, I think that's who you should ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david ckwee Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 well, Im thinking of changing the voice tutor. She never gives me any advice on singing techniques, less the "sing with your diagraphram" sort of info. WHat I basically do at lessons are just pitching. When I asked her for her comment about that, her reply was just:"oh, you were born like this" I mean, I cant take that down until i hear from others, right? === Tenor: Errrrmm, Whats the pallet? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You'll find that if you want to go much further with being a counter-tenor, you'll probably have to sacrifice your full voice. I'm a counter-tenor/bass-baritone, and it's a fine line to walk... I've found that if you push your falsetto too far, your full voice suffers. If you push your full voice, your falsetto suffers. Right now I've got my ranges an octave apart (~C2-G4 & ~D3-G5), and I'm at the age where my voice has pretty much settled. I guess I'm stuck with what I have now!

P.J. Meiser Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 ^^Definitely. I've never taken a private voice lesson in my life and I know what the soft pallet is. She sounds like a bit of a hack, no offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
