Hi Rhyad. Don’t worry, most people have problems with connecting their voice. I’m going to be creating more videos soon that will help you with your problem.
Hi Nathaniel. Good to hear from you again. Sorry about the late reply. Try dropping your jaw more when singing in your mix and opening the back of your throat. This will create more throat resonance to balance your natural nasality. Ian
Ian, I found you on the internet. Your lessons are excellent and very well stated.
Years ago, I took voice. I was told that I am a tenor. While, I normally do not have a problem with G above
middle C, I find A and above a challenge. Your video, “how to sing in head voice” is helpful but I still have difficulty
in adding “resonance” to the sound. When I do, the tendency is for my throat to tighten and/or my voice to crack. Do you
have any suggestions. I am frustrated. I want to break through this wall. I have a video of a song I recently put on youtube with me singing:
Hi. I’m from Romania. I saw your clips on youtube and i got more frustrated day by day because i can’t sing above C2. I know all the theory..i know i have to switch to mix voice, i know i do not have to strain my vocal cords. The result: a breathy voice when i try to sing with my “head voice”.
Ian-
Can you listen to the song “Cowboys from Hell” by Pantera and tell me how he does that inhale scream towards the end of the song?
Thanks, AndrewCC

Hey Ian,
I have a good grip on my chest and head voice but I can’t seem to get rid of the vocal fry tone especially in the mix. I sound tired when I sing. I can sing high C and D but as I descend it gets raspy. I hate it. I have had a throat check by a doctor and all is well. Any help would be appreciated.
Ok, thank you on my cousin….do u happen to have a video that can help her and BTW she is 7 so not something to hard thanks and if u make one tell me! Thanks…..Izzy!

Hello Ian, I have a question about placement when singing throughout one’s range. I’ve heard many theories on the subject of placement, most of which involve singing in the mask. My question is, does placement move throughout your range or does it remain fixed in a certain area? For instance, when singing in chest voice, should I feel the vibrations/resonance only in my chest or should I strive to place my tone forward in the mask area of the pharyngeal spot and the nasal cavity? If singing in the mask is required, should I be singing in the mask area throughout my range? I find that singing with focusing my sound to the pharyngeal NG spot of my throat gives me the best sound, but it is hard to maintain the higher I sing, at which point I begin to add a bit of nasality and/or head resonance. Thanks for any help or advice you can offer. I enjoy your videos and they have helped me greatly.
Can you suggest to me any of your tecniques for a concert with my band? I really want to know which video is useful before the concert. By the way, thank you for your courses and i wish my language was English to understand you exactly. I’m still doing liproll! Thank you.

Hi Ian from Istanbul!

Thank you.
Hi!
I have recorded 4 songs of my album paat August-September, recording more soon. I heard some people said I have a bit of a nasal voice in these songs (especially first 2), yet others said it’s completely fine. So I’m wondering, do I really have a nasal voice in these? Also, is that something to worry about, would a professional musician redo the vocals or leave them as it is in this case? I head Bob Dylan had a nasal voice which wasn’t bad, then should I keep it as long as it sounds good or does it have to be re-recorded for sure?
Thanks a million
Yusif
