I can FINALLY hit the Whistle Register! :D

Zero Revolution wrote:Woah, actually sounds like you're singing now. I'm guessing it's supposed to for what you're trying to do though, Yi. Good job though! Keep trying to improve it.

 Aw, thanks!  I'm so happy!  Yep, yep, it is! Thanks! Oh, yes, definitely!  It's just remembering the mechanism, as well because it took me a few weeks to remember how to create the puppy whine sound and the reversed phonation, so this'll take some time as well.

 Just so you know, I kept falling into that puppy whine sound at times because when anyone new who just finds Whistle, it can be very hard to sustain it because it's such a hard register to control. It is especially for first-timers, so it'll take some time. More info: The sensation of it is like when you're crying really hard. Ya know, when it feels like you have a lump in your throat because you're so upset? Well, that's what the sensation feels like, it's really funny because it gives me two emotions. One: I wanna jump around and act totally hyper. Two: I wanna cry. It's really weird  Also, to me when I'm using it (I dunno if you heard it) but I sounded like a train whistle  'Haps it could only be for the user, though.

I'm glad your trying to improve on doing this; but I'm curious if it's for being able to improve yourself or your ability for singing? Still good luck to ya ^^V

 Yeah, I could do, thanks  Both!  What am I trying to do? I'm trying to increase my range to G7, so I can sing 'Emotions' by Mariah Carey! :DI can so far hit up to F6, which I'm so proud of, so almost only an octave left to go!

 Now, since you heard my lovely mother going high pitched for the update, I'll show you it!  No! That was actually me!  I sounded like a weird, posh lady

Okay, updates  I'm so happy, my Whistle, it's strengthening and I owe that to finally being able to do a proper and concise lip bubble, they're so helpful with increasing range!  

So, yeah!  Deeesies! I'm so so proud of myself!

Zero Revolution wrote:That's pretty good Yi! At least from my knowledge of this at any rate. :PXD I can definitely hear the difference from when you originally posted this. Kind of reminds me of a bird actually...

Aw, thanks, Yozz  Heh, yeah  Oh, that's awesome! Wow, thanks. I didn't know it was that good  

Zero Revolution wrote:If it's supposed to sound like a bird than I'd say it's pretty much spot on. :PSo yeah it is that good Yi.

 Yeah, it is. This register is used in the style of 'Bird Singing' and it really sounds like a bird then, it's quite beautiful. Very talented people out there!



 I can't wait until I can properly access this register! It's supposed to be the easiest, even easier than Head voice because you don't need a lot of power for Whistle, neither a lot of breath because the vocal cords are so small, they only need a small supply of air to vibrate at that pitch. It's just getting the sensation, and getting the cords to do that. It's more technique, over power. I'll get there soon, though  Not long now. I know I'll be fine as soon as I've found the placement because as soon as I found Head, not long after and I can access almost all of the notes in that register, so Whistle should be a breeze once I've got the placement.

I should stop making these comparisons, that sounds really good Yi. ^^

 Oh, don't worry, Yozz!  That's perfectly fine! It's normal for anyone to liken it to a familiar sound, so they can understand or make sense of what it sounds like. Perfectly fine!


 Aw, thanks, Yozz!  Does it sound any better? Hopefully, it does  

Zero Revolution wrote:I think so. It's kind of hard to tell with the previous video, but if I look back at the first one you posted, it's way better. XD

Ooh, awesome!  


 Update!~ I have a brand new video right here showcasing some Whistle! Now, this is proper Whistle, finally, so I'll only get better from here! Read the description to find out how I did it! I went from a C5, jumped an octave to a C6, and then slid all the way up to a very impressive G6!
