  • @Loptr_
    that's the most complete video about how to achieve overtone singing i've found so far, thank you so much!!

    I've watched hours, and hours, and hours, of YouTube videos on singing. This video was so concise, so easy, and so effective I think it's one of the videos that truly helped me conceptualize a "missing piece" I've had with learning to sing. Thank you!

    This video helped me figure out how to sing overtones literally in a couple minutes. The “whisper rollercoaster” prompt for getting a feeling for tongue placement was genius! Thanks Stuart!
  • And with the Ancient Greek modal scales you can play (with omittances) any key and relatives. It’s just down to frequency emphasis. Love it!

    I am coming back to this video again and I am really impressed by one of the best overtone singing tutorials in the world wide web. Thanks Stuart. Greetings, yours Jens

    Since I haven't seen anyone else mention it; was the melody you demonstrated the english horn solo from Dvorak's "New World Symphony"? It hit me out of nowhere as an oboe player! Also, thanks for this wonderful video, I have to learn overtone singing for a class of mine and this is a great start!
  • Thank you very much for sharing your skills. I can use your vocal training to help me with my movement trouble. I have a rare neurological condition and I am learning how to control my vocal cords and breathing. I use to practice meditation with breathing and singing helps my breathing skills. I have a natural ability to sing well too because of my mom. She was a musical genius. Sadly drug addiction caused her to lose everything and she wasn't able to achieve her dream to be a singer. Instead she passed on her ability to my brother and I. We use to sing together for fun and we even had a band and I was a DJ for years for small events. Mom passed away from cancer in 2016. I am autistic and I am trying to figure out how to get my artwork noticed. I have a feeling art is over done and I might be stuck. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I am okay with it. I've never been able to work because of my handicappies. I thought practicing my singing again can take my mind off my anxiety so here I am. ❤️ You are amazing.
  • Wow. I've learned the little I know about overtone singing by myself. I used to change the pitch of each harmonic by moving the lips, but I didn't know that doing it with the tongue is the right way, thanks a lot for the lesson and excercises, greetings from Honduras.

    Awesome vid. First time i could understand it!

    Wow, this is the most awesome, comprehensive and informative video that I've found on this topic. Listening to You sing these dual tones, is so amazing!! They didn't teach this technique in classical voice training, or in opera workshop or in any of the music classes and training that I've had over the years. You make it look so easy. I'm trying really hard not to be jealous (lol). Thank you for sharing the wind sound blowing exercise, because that helped me understand my tongue placement and how to move the pitch of the harmonic tone - and thanks for explaining that it's best to sustain the base note for as long as possible to have more time to harmonize. I could get the polyphonic whistle tones after a couple of attempts! I'm going to practice to make sure that my harmonic frequency sounds like a whistle sound - rather than like a Didgeridoo. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video!
  • Super, super clear!!! Thanks for sharing with us. Very useful for both beginners and advanced!
