Potential volume warning!
1st clip: intro
2nd clip(0:40): aiming to land on A4
3rd clip (1:30): aiming to land on Bb4
(i kept a bit of the rest in the clips, hopefully the quality is sufficient)
Had my first vocal lesson recently:
managed chest-head: F2-G#5
chest until Bb4, kind of unsure where that places me. Teacher mentioned High Baritone/Baritenor?
- Never hit an F2 or G#5 before this! Only a quiet G2-G#2, volume dropping off around A2/A#2
- Never tried projecting and going above D5 in head voice so that was a pleasant surprise.
When trying to belt at that Bb4-B4, it feels as if the sound thins, and I can’t keep that same energy behind it.
When I belt an A4 well, I start to feel buzzing at my front teeth, and it feels full and grounded, but it seems almost impossible to get that at Bb4+. Perhaps I’m sending too much air, or trying/expecting to carry and feel too much weight with belting up there?
- even before this first lesson, I remember always having a G4 belt
Alot of the music I listen to is alternative rock/post-hardcore, and I would love to be able to sing with energy up and around that C5 at some point.
Song: Importance Of Cocaine - DGD (two steps down).
- We lowered it because we’re trying to work on those belty notes, and I couldnt get those yet in the original key.
TLDR: What were your experiences when learning to belt at A4 and beyond?
