If you can't do this you CAN'T sing.. 

I have a new vocal technique channel uploads every week. ru-vid.com/show-UCptWfm6ZZ5rRfvycLEYqqfw Currently coaching voice on Wednesday's over Zoom / Skype, email in description for enquiries, Carl.

You got me sounding like a dolphin in 2am

I literally have no idea what you're talking about

I couldn't sleep, and found this video at 3AM. I was high on drowsiness, so I started making these sounds rather loudly without realizing it (My tired brain's logic was that my headphones would somehow make my voice quiet). My wife woke up and asked what the hell was wrong with me, but instead of replying with an actual answer, I just responded with "uh uh uuunhhhh" and started wiggling around like a worm trying to dance. Now she can't stop laughing at me every time I try to ask her a question, or just talk in general, and it's all your fault Update: I just came back to this comment after a whole year. I forced this unfortunate incident out of my mind and didn't even realize my comment got any attention until multiple people started ominously commenting "Uh uh uhhh" on my video, and someone linked me to this. Glad I could make you people laugh.

If you do this exercise while on the toilet you get faster results 🤣🤣🤣...

I don't get it, 99% of time I sound terrible singing, but then every once in a while for some reason I sound amazing.

If you can't do *this* , you can't sing... *breathe*

me: *sings and record* "hmm i think i did a pretty gud job" *hears recording* "ok nvm i suck."

Me: *makes weird noises* Brother: *rushes into room* are you okay? Me:...

i sound like a donkey

When Carl said "uh uh uunhhh" I really felt that.

4:37 "guuhhhh guhhhhh GUHHHHHH"

Everyone can sing you just need to pracrice

I couldn't do any of these. I was too busy laughing the whole time. *_Guhguhguuuuh_*

Bro, you're literally making me sound like a freaking idiot in the morning bro

This boi sounding like a squeaky door 😂

Had a listen: Your speaking flow is very good.

2:55 Imagine starting to watch at this time.

I sound like an alpaca chocking on it's saliva while dying.

My parents heard me watching this in the bathroom and thought i was watching some weird ass porno😂

The fact that EVERYONE CAN SING! Bad singers need to practice in order to develop a good MUSCLE MEMORY. One of the key to good singing is to 1.Warm up voice properly everyday and you will see an improvement, I've been doing warm up for weeks and I was surprisingly happy for the result, vocal warm up really helped my voice and it keeps growing, after warming up I can easily sing than before because before I have so much tension than these present days. My bad habits are slowly going away. After so much research I found out that proper warm up grows good muscle memories-reason why people tries harder in removing the bad habits because they are used to how they sang(Muscle Memory). Guys I recommend you to warm up everyday even if you are not practicing. TRUST ME WARM UPS WILL HELP YOU EFFECTIVELY !BE PATIENT WITH EVERYDAY WARM UP YOUR VOICE WILL ADAPT NEW MUSCLE AND ACTIVITY AND WILL FURTHER BUILD A GOOD MUSCLE MEMORY! Further keys: 2.Support your voice with a proper breathing, it would really help guys! It removes tension, breathe from your diaphragm. 3.Massage your throat, cheeks, jaw and exercise your tongue because a usual tension happens when your tongue is not relaxed and its root are raising allowing you to sing forcibly with effort. Do lip trills from your low comfortable range to your highest range(REMEMBER NEVER FORCE YOUR VOICE) YOU WILL NOTICE YOUR RANGE WILL INCREASE! 4.Remove too much anxiousness because anxiousness can trigger the bad singing voice. 5. If you have bad diction, work for it because diction and pronunciation adds impact to the way you sound. 6.Learn to sing with runs, riffs, melisma, vibrato and other vocal styles because it makes your voice more beautiful and designed but keep it simple and beautiful don't overdo them because you may ruin the song. 7.Never practice with a very loud volume, practice singing with a medium volume but better to sing softly for starters! 8. GET A VOCAL COACH FOR THE FULL TIPS AND TECHNIQUES. WITH ALL THE FUNDAMENTALS AND WITH ALL THE TIPS ABOVE, BUILD THE SUPERB MUSCLE MEMORY FOR THE BIGGEST KEY TO SINGING SUCCESS! TRUST ME GUYSSSSSSSS THOSE TIPSSSSS ABOVE REALLY HELP, ESPECIALLY THE WARM UPS, SEARCH FOR WARM UPS AND TRY IMITATING THEM, FIND THE MOST COMFORTABLE WARM UP AND IF THE WARM UP IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUR RANGE? LOWER OR HIGHER IT, THE CRUCIAL THING IS THAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WHILE WARMING UP! AND I AM VERY HAPPY FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF MY VOICE RIGHT NOW AND I AM INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN AND GROW MY VOICE. BE PATIENT GUYS PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, BETTER DAYS WILL COME! :D GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

The walls are pretty thin in my new apartment so my neighbours probably think Im a crazy person

1:04 he sounds like that woman off little Britain

This dude really got me saying guhg guhh guhh at 2am.

My mum was asking me if I was okay when I was making the sound....

This was crazy. I did it and it was as if suddenly my diapraghm was connected to my breathing in an entirely "new" way. I just lost a ton of tension in my upper body and when I tried singing songs that would usually find me cracking I could push through and hit those notes with a much fuller sound. Thank you!

Him" uh uh uuuhhhh" Me"dies from laughting"

The fact that everyone is here at 3 am is killing me 😭😭 I’ll be back in a few hours

Eh, eh eeeeeeh. Isn't that Ann from little Britain?

i guess is just me trying how to sing properly during quarantine : (

This is a good idea for helping people learn the basics. I've found a lot of people lack closure as they go higher, they tend to thin out and use excessive breath. How I get them to find closure, which may be of help to you, is to get people to talk on pitch. It sounds silly but most people talk with really good closure and it's an incredibly relaxed sound too. I reckon if you combined the two concepts you've got a winner. Great video Carl. 🤘🏻

This is so true. I found it out when trying to sing songs like "Don't stop believing". IMO you're 100% right on this.

It’s called using the edge. When my last teacher taught me this, I literally expanded my belt range from an E being my highest note to a soprano Bb. On a good day, I can even belt a soprano high C. I stand by this technique fully and recommend it to anyone.

I can do all the vocal exercises on RU-vid CORRECT, yet my singing is lame. It's something you don't do right, I guess.

ok, i can't sing at all, but i knew that already :)))

Don't get it. You were just making a load of random weird noises.

You literally changed my life in 2 minutes OMG!!! I've been taking singing classes for 4 years now and it didn't helo as much as this video did!!! THANK YOUUUU

4:31 LOL!!... anyway, loved the video tho!

He sounds like that character of Little Britain that would talk like that and them go and answer the phone in a normal voice

Whahaha!! 4:37 Guuuguuguuuhhh! Funny stuff! Imma try this!

You speak in such a smug, "I'm TEACHING you" tone that I can barely pay attention. "YOU need to speak like THIS, and if you CAN'T then you're NOT going to be able to make ANYTHING".

I believe this 'squeeze' is also known as 'twang'. Helps a lot with compressing higher notes. The big trick is to have enough of it, but not too much of it, depending on the note.

Brett Manning and Seth Riggs exercise)

He sings the peice Me trying to sing it Me:"What did he say again?" I listen again and again Me: what did he say again? 😂😂

Me: I’m so good at singing! Carl: I’m about to ruin this whole mans career My self-esteem: Heyyyy!! Partner in crime how you doin?!

I'm sick, but I'm gonna try anyway

Well... I just learned that i can sing. Thanks dude!

I was watching this on the toilet and my parents thought I was moaning. 😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm freaking trying to do this but I can't stop laughing 😂 "uh uh uhhh" reminds me of my baby sis trying her best to freaking p**p hahaha!

Very good info for just trying to place your voice correctly… most people talk about stuff and dont show, thanks for showing.

Why you are always talking like you don't want to talk at all

Dude this was a breakthrough for me. My man, thank you so much. Finally understood how it's possible to sing like the singers in the 80's. Rare gem on youtube.

When crossing over from your chest voice into your head voice, vocalize with staccato, and good breath support throughout a scale (in your range). Make sure your staccato is solid. It helps you get the more "chesty" timbre (tonal quality) in your mixed voice and head voice that we are trying to achieve here. It simply trains you to let your vocal folds open and close more comfortably, and use less compensation from other muscles to get that tone out. Staccato and Legato are key words that should be clarified here. Using proper and more recognized terminology would be professional. You will be more successful as a vocal coach if you do. Thanks for the tips!

Not a great fan of squeezing directly vocal chords....if you focus on vc you start activating the muscles of larynx wich is totally wrong if you want to sing with freedom. That’s why belcanto says forget the larynx, you dont have. Just practice resonance and dyafram

Came back to this video after almost a year when I remembered this exercise. I tried it again last night and I realized I was closer to doing this exercise correctly compared to a year ago and I really starting dialing it in and now I already feel like singing is so much easier and much more relaxed and the power is still present. And the more I dial it in the better so I will continue to use this method because I feel it really works! Thank you and Cheers!

This some hard click bait 💀

This is honestly the worst singing lesson I've ever heard.

Why do I keep dying of laughter😂😂😂😂😂

I find a lot of artists seem to do all these unnecessary crazy scales with their voices the higher they get to avoid holding a single note and then cut it off. I see it with the National Anthem a lot.

This is pontification not voice instruction. "If you can't do this, you can't sing?" You're job is to inspire and empower, not discourage. This is just flat out wrong and misleading. Don't look for me to comment other than on this video. I had to say something. You're so hung up on pulling chest voice and compression and these are not negatives if you know how to teach them.

My neighbors love my singing, my dad wants to kill me every time I open my mouth, my mom says I'm good and my brother says my accent sucks...so I dunno XD but I love to sing and I don't care if Im good or terrible.

Me after this video- ah ah ah My cousin-what are you doin me - nothing my cousin -why youre always so weird Me- yeap

I need help.. Whenever I try go high my voice cuts off and I sound like I lost my voice.. :( I swear like a year ago my voice could go high..

i can do it but i am not good at singing :( i hate my voice

I can hit high and somewhat low notes fine. I can hold notes fine. I can stay in tune for the most part. But my tone sounds horrible for what I'm trying to sing. And I can't sing loud.

It seems you’re just talking about learning to stay in your full voice when you go up in a scale as oppose to going into falsetto. This is really just a stylistic choice rather than right or wrong, once you’ve attained both skills, of course. Baritones and low tenors especially will utilize the falsetto range because it’s easier for them to sing those high notes as opposed to squeezing for the full voice. Now, there is a difference between a thin wispy falsetto and a nice strong one, but I didn’t hear you clarify that. I think your advice is solid, as far as building a strong voice that can belt out the notes. I just don’t think you should steer your students from using falsetto considering it’s a great tool for a singer. “Squeezing” or going to falsetto can make the difference between a harsh, out of place vocal or a smooth, nuanced vocal, depending on the particular song. Just look at Muse’s Soldier Poem. He almost always goes to falsetto in that song, even breaking his voice completely at one point to make the switch to falsetto. The song calls for it. It seems that by your interpretation of singing properly he’s doing it wrong. I disagree. As long as the spot where you’re singing from stays in the middle of your throat (ie where it feels right) you’re doing it right. That’s the real trick. Learn to keep the “strain” in the middle.

Have me singing like I'm drugs at 2am 😂😂😂😂

I didn't know you could speak baby.

That’s really stupid to say someone cannot sing if they can’t do that 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

I want to do this, but my brain refuses to let me

Ahhh this is awesome!! I found myself using falcetto and then when i did squeek instead i could feel the valves CLOSING, still with some air but I'm going to keep practicing. Thanks!!!!

did this for 2mins and i can hit a lower note i couldn't. THANKS!

Do Maynard...

I think i destroyed my voice. I liked The Magic Flute so much that I sang it repeatedly and I didn't know that the technique I used would damage it. Now I can't even sing falsetto. My voice would, for the lack of better word, disappear. No voice would come out. I just want my voice back TT

Excuse me but wait does this work I literally have no idea what he is doing besides exorcising a demon out of me I think I can sing -starts screaming while trying to sing-

you look like Keanu Reeves lol

I actually sooo got your point, I've been watching videos with vocal training content for a year now, and now I feel like I'm able to adjust my voice's tone. BTW, your video was soo helpful especially for begginners 👍👍👍

2:54 I lost it at that part

It is like I can sound so good to me but one time I recorded myself singing and I played it and I sounded like a dying pig.

Hey dude thanks for explaining WHY GU GU GU lol. seen so many videos that say to do this or that but not why.

Very quick, very helpful. Thanks

I've taken for granted being able to sing fairly well, but like other physical abilities, being strong doesn't make you and athlete. Training and technique do. So I've been training with breathing and such. One Question Should I not be focused too much on control or pitch as much as just flexing the muscles and learning the technique? You can obviously carry a tune but you didn't seem concerned with your pitch.

Puberty hit me hard...Im a girl and my voice is rlly deep now...Now i can't sing...Yay..

lmao I can't do this my family's gonna throw me in a mental hospital

Whenever I drink alcohol and sing at the same time, I feel like I have a good voice 🤣

I don't know much about singing but when you do the huh huh huh thing you're flat. What is the point of the exercise?

Carl, great video. My question is: where exactly are you squeezing? Is it a gentle squeeze from within the vocal tract or is it a breath related thing? I saw your video about merging release with closure, and that’s what I’m really trying to master.

Alright now I wanna die Happy?

My dad came rushing to the living room and saying “are you dying? Finally..” and you just stare at him while the video continues .,.

Very true! I've been working on my vocals for my productions over the last year or so and I'm super happy with the progress I've made from the breathy sound you showed to how it should sound, but it's still really tough to get those top notes right.

my parents came in and asked what was wrong XD

4:27 for everyone that are looking for guguguguguguguguguguguguguuuuuuu. You're very much welcome!

Here during quarantine, I decided to pick up a new skill. I’ve already mastered many things during this time. This will just be one of many😁

Is it just me or Florida looks like a gun😑😹

Basically sound like Nigel tuffnel lol

i feel weird

“There are so many exercises to develop this skill” Like pooping

On here at 12 AM reading comments that everyone came at 3... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

after reading these comment , i find myself so lucky tht how many people can't sing welll ha ha ha

Even some real and pro singers are having a hard time to sing on pitch in live performances. Being a natural and excellent singer is a rare talent.
