Overtone singing tutorial

May 25, 2012 - I am deterined to learn this! Im confused. One sight I saw said to seal the tongue to the upper mouth with a little space for air. Can you go over technique a bit more. I'm also not understanding this movement of the back of the tongue. After trying it for 3 consecutive hours, I am beginning to hear notes other than the underlying not I am singing. . . And I try to put a melody to it. I can hear it but it sounds very airy. How can I stop it from sounding so breathy without losing the overtone.

Apr 2, 2012 - No, you definitely don't whistle in it. Try not to try so much. The best way is to let it naturally happen instead of forcing it (which is a key thing for normal singing as well :)

Apr 1, 2012 - So, I tried this out and I ended up whistling while singing. Is that the right thing or should I keep trying?

Feb 20, 2012 - So, does the front of your tongue ever move, or stay near/on your teeth?

yuichituba Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - You're welcome! Yes, you keep the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. It's just a matter of coordination so I think you'll be fine after a while.

Feb 18, 2012 - Awesome vid! Very helpful. Q: does your tongue actually touch and remain touching the roof of your mouth? It seems difficult to keep it touching when I begin to move the back of my tongue. Thanks for the vid!

yuichituba Says:

Feb 12, 2012 - Perhaps a little higher, but not by much. In general the human mouth, big or small, male or female, is close enough that it won't make too much of a difference. The more you experiment, you will find what works best for you. My notes general fall around middle C, but I can get out other overtones when I sing lower. Definitely not higher.

Feb 10, 2012 - Hi man, thanks for sharing. I have a question for you. Do you think the "ground" note you're singing is proportional to the size of your mouth, and therefore influences the overtones? Like, maybe someone who has a smaller mouth would have to sing a higher "ground" note to be able to do that?

yuichituba Says:

Feb 6, 2012 - Ya, it's just matter of having the right amount of guidance and never give up!

Jan 1, 2012 - i was about to just say that xD 

yuichituba Says:

Dec 23, 2011 - Oh good! I'm really glad. Ya, you really have to be careful with your voice. Our vocal chords are extremely sensitive muscle. Although there's a proper way of doing the traditional throaty singing, you need a lot of careful training to do that. I won't even bother with that part of it because my voice is my money maker.

Dec 23, 2011 - I've been trying off and on since.....'93 or so?? assumed you had to have that rough "Mongolian-type" throaty tone to get a trill that produced the harmonic. would try it until it felt like my throat was bleeding. watched your video Tuesday (12/20/11) and yesterday (12/22/11) on the commute home a got a harmonic. Couldn't try it again for about 5 minutes due to the giggling. Got three pitches last night. Woo-hoo! thanks!!
