bob Hertz Cool. I personally don’t know many South Korean singers. The first ones to come to mind for me are SoHyang, Taeyeon, Ailee, Son Seung Yeon, And Hyorin. They all seem pretty great.
I love that she's talking about her technique and not dodging or explaining it like some mystical or god-given gift. She learned it and cultivated her talent with it to reach the level of mastery she's in right now. Now I really wanna hear Mariah explain her journey in singing especially with the changes in her voice in this way. Hope she drops the charades for a moment and have an interview like this in a documentary or something.
True but also the fact that Mariah gained a bit too much confidence in her voice after fame. She hasn’t tried to change her vocal technique whatsoever from her debut. She doesn’t realize that she needs to lighten her mix, and I believe she’s so used to singing a certain way that she doesn’t see that she could change her technique and improve. She has stated that she has to “sing through the nodes” which is obviously not something that someone who knows what’s best for their voice would do.
Mariah is a very intelligent woman , a perfectionist writer and a singer , she still has that 5 octave vocal range WHEN she is in studio doing her magic.Even I myself noticed the changes of my voice through years and it is really different singing in crowd than in studio.I guess that's what also happens to Mariah and remember she always told in every interviews that she has a stage fright and feeling nervous that could affect also to her voice.
@@zul_92 Dimash is overrated. most of his highnotes are not supported and shrill. As a person who work with audio mixing on daily basis, i could easily recognized how unorganic his highnotes are. most of them if not all of them sounded altered even in live performance. there's a technology called vocal masking where the mic is set to raise you notes a few octave to make it sounds higher than it really is. technique wise Sohyang is far more superior.
I wonder how much Christina really is capable of. In her masterclass she says that technique is a very small percentage of what matters to her. I really want to hear her mix! I love her either way!
She actually has mixed in the past, but forgoes that a lot. Now at this stage with her voice, if she doesn’t start mixing she’s gonna lose it completely. She hasn’t been supporting belts as of recent either.
Speech Level Singing which she learnt from Seth Riggs can help you push your tessitura higher than your normal, but it requires a very good basic with support and breath management, which she does have, hence the success in her technique now.
@@kureki147 plus you should have that potential naturally and than you just need to take it more further. Than it will be so easier and natural to you and don't need really push so much.
뭐 고음만 잘한다고 세계정상급 가수냐 ? ㅉㅉ 논리보소 앨범으로 빌보드 몇번은 석권 해먹고 해외 공연으로 BTS처럼 연달아 매진에 월드투워 다니면서 그래미어워드 상은 받아야지 ? 그래야 세계 정상급 인정받지 무슨 ㅋㅋ 지혼자 세계정상급이다 이러고 있네 니혼자 정상급해라 과연 예로 1명만 들어도 아델이나 이런 해외 팝 가수가 소향보다 고음이 더잘올라갈까 ? 누가더 정상급 가수일까 ??? 지근까지 역사로 봐도 최고의 여성 싱어라 평가받는 휘트니, 아레사도 소향보다 고음은 안될듯 그런데 그 가수들이 과연 소향보다 노래 못할까 ? 풋 말같지도 않은 소리하네 그냥 고음병 환자가 지혼자 정상급이라 삑삑
She is one of the true musical treasures of Korea, her voice is pure control and power. For me, her flaw is the song choices during her career, mostly american diva-type songs from 90´s and 2000´s which are not my cup of tea, altough understandable because she grew up listening to them. She is shining more today, thanks Hallyu. She deserves the world.
I agree that she could sing a more intricate repertoire that allows her to show more of her skill in expressing fine emotions instead of just power belts and piercing notes.
There are plenty of really great singers out there, but So-hyang is one of the few that keeps catching me off guard and surprises me every single time I hear her. Not just her incredible high belts, but just her overall way of performing and her emotion and voice control. It's like she's so good that my brain just cannot process it and slightly forgets after each time, and next time I hear her I'm reminded of just how brilliant she is and I'm shocked all over again xD She's also really humble and funny and sweet. She doesn't brag, but simply explains and demonstrates. She's amazing!
So Hyang is a rare belter.. mixed voice is her trademark.. she's a good singer and thats enough. Nothing to compare with, no need to prove something. Shes just one of our great belters in the whole world 🙂
i love my kpop bias, I've been kpop fans for 10 years now, but let me get this straight. if sohyang ever come to my country to do a concert, i would sell my kidney just to see her singing life, her voice is LITERALLY out of this world
Don't be fooled. She barely had like 5 lessons with him. If it werent for him yes she probably wouldn't have this technique but she taught herself after that. That's what's so insane. Seth Riggs didn't teach her how to sing like this. She did. He just helped kickstart this.
Marios AVATAR I mean thats how it is for any vocal coach lol I had a voice teacher for about a year. Most of my development occurred on my own, but my coach gave me a good foundation to start. Thats what coaches are there for lol
@@GetWellSoonR.E.M. most Coaches are there for a long time. Developing register after register etc. 5 lessons aren't nearly enough to even begin to support. She got here on her own.
I get to know Ailee and Hyorin first before i know her, and i really adore them. But i'm pretty sure both Ailee and Hyorin admire Sohyang for her crazy technique of singing
Ailee said So Hyang is her idol on Immortal Songs Michael Bolton special. Also there a popular meme of Hyorin reacting to So Hyang's Bb5 mix belt when singing Lean On Me.
OMG I GOT GOOSEBUMPS when sohyang sang My All!! Omg she NEEDS to do a cover and put her twist on it! Even that little snippet sounded better than 90% if not more, than all the other singers out there covering or trying to be mariah!
아직도 그때가 정확히 기억이 납니다. 대략 17년전. 아이돌 좋아해서 댄스를 배우고 공연도하고,후로 일반 발라드에 감상에 젖어 있던시기.. 어떤 동영상 사이트에서 기독교 노래만 부르는 소향님 영상을 우연히 보게 되었을때..그 영상의 충격이 아직도 잊혀 지지 않습니다. 그 영상 이후로 항상 우리나라 최고의 가수는 소향이라고 항상 말했습니다. 지금도요. 당시에 아무도 몰라서 안타까웠지요, 더구나 그 당시, 가요 노래를 단 한곡도 부르지 않는 소향님이 였으니까요,방송출연도 단 한번 하지 않았었고요. 아주 오랜 시간이 지나고,저도 나이를 먹는와중... 소향님의 마음의 변화가 있었는지, 방송출연을 하는것을 보았을때 정말 큰 충격 이였습니다.가요를 부르는 것도, 또 방송에 나오는것도요 지금 이렇게 방송에서의 모습을 매일보며 항상 행복하게 지내고 있습니다. 항상 위로를 받습니다. 당신이 생각하는 것 보다, 훨씬 더 큰! 아주 큰 위로를요. 항상 감사합니다 소향님ㅠ
casual listeners/untrained ears are so obsessed with range its a joke. singing isn't a range check, otherwise sopranos would win every time. what set so hyang aside from even Whitney and other so called divas, are anything but the range. all great female singers would have "similar" range, but So hyang does a lot of other things, her songs have multiple peaks and troughs, it takes you on a journey, her transition is second to none in fact it is so unique, she does transitions with her trademark crescendo(mostly mixed voice), and most importantly her belts are connected even on her highest notes, I'm American and have been listening to Whitney etc and their belts aren't connected, they only peak and thats it, and Whitney infamously avoided transition and crescendo transition because she couldn't do it and stick to what she did best. range and power.
Joshua Carey It's a term of endearment from her fans. She is a legend in our eyes. The music critics rate her vocals star rating with the legends like Whitney, Mariah , Aretha and Michael Jackson. Look it up yourself if you don't believe me.
Totally agree with you. Some people have really wide range and cannot utilize it for their max gain. Sohyang herself had stated in an interview that the highest note that she hit does not matter at all to the quality of her performance
emm no, you misunderstood.. what I meant by "idol" isn't referring to kpop idols, but "idol" in the sense of role model, artist that I'm deeply love, appreciate & respect to stan. I hope I explained it clearly :)
I always used head voice too, but recently signed voice lessons and mixed voice is a must xD I never knew why I couldn't project those high notes lol she's a queen
0:38 *Awww Sohyang adores Mariah so much!* 😳 Sohyang's technique is phenomenal, it's essentially on par with Mariah's technique at her peak (Daydream) except Mariah's ability to support her highest belts & resonate so much without twang is unbelievable plus her musicality 😍
True, Sohyang currently is around the same level as prime Mariah technique-wise but Sohyang is the superior belter. This is a fact. Supporting C#6s in mixed voice already places her above Mariah in belting. Her G5s can slice a mountain in half, her entire belting range is one large, booming, resonant instrument. Sohyang is simply unmatched in the mixed register.. She really made it a priority to develop her mix to It's highest potential. Prime Mariah on the other hand takes the cake in agility, we all know NO ONE is better than Mariah at transitions. Chest to head, head to whistle, head to chest, even chest to whistle. Also Mariah was better all-around because even her lows were supported, Sohyang's lows just weren't a priority for her and below G#3 Sohyang is inconsistent, prolly due to her high as the heavens tessitura. But yeah Sohyang is definitely high up there with the legends.
we all know that mariah is a legend and her legacy will always be remembered, but the truth is that sohyang’s vocal abilities are better than mariah’s, nothing too crazy tho... i know mariah can do whistle notes and reach lower notes than sohyang can but sohyang’s upper belts are just phenomenal
GarageStudio using twang is a MUST if a singer wants to have large resonance and ease on upper belts. It’s because of not using twang that Lee Young Hyun- a powerful vocalist- can’t resonate on F#5 and G5 although she can support those notes
Mariah's prime she's better than sohyang Low: Mariah support C#3-D3 she can even support B2 while sohyang has G3 Mixed: they're both good but sohyang have C6- C#6 while Mariah G5 Upper: I think both of them are good too Mariah support D6 while sohyang E6 Agility: Mariah wins Overall: Mariah But now on sohyang Is better than Mariah Mariah supporting D3-Eb3 - C5 - D6 So sad😥😥😥😥
