For me, twang is working miracles. I've noticed the greatest improvement my voice has ever achieved since I started practing it. There should be a playlist in this channel with only twang exercises :)

Thanks for sharing!

I sing Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony in my church choir. No microphones/amplification ... and sometimes we get to sing with (err ... against) an organ. I have been struggling to improve my projection and have yet to get clear instruction ... this video is a good step ... very helpful. Thanks!

I'm definitely in love with your Vibrato Dr D 💯💜😃👌. I have it too✌️. It's a portion that is very scarce in male singers.

Wikipedia wins!😄 Thanks for the definitions and demonstrations Dr Dan, love that exercise! Excellent video 👍👍

My pleasure!

Thank you. I practice by singing the song Paint Your Wagon - They Call The Wind Maria.

Another fantastic and sincerely helpful video, Dan. Question. Take a look at a video of “ Run To The Hills”. There is an edge in Bruce’s chorus and when he goes there his face is wide open and bright, almost crazy looking. You definitely upped your volume with twang, but were you really singing at the limit. It seems like many guys like Bolton are literally taking their voice to the edge of break up. Is it true or just an illusion? This sort of extreme twang that we hear in melodic rock is still coming from charging up the resonators correct? Which leads me to my last question. Volume. It’s my impression that with proper tuning the human voice can be sustainably very loud 90db or more and that some singers sounds require these relative high volumes for their timbre.

Thank you dr. Dan❣❣ subsciber here from philippines🇵🇭

@@DrDanRobinson omg thank's for replying!!

Quite recently, when singing in a choir, the baritones and altos needed to sing fortissimo at the end of a phrase so I though, what the heck, I'll go for it. I think everything just clicked because I felt my voice was emanating from the bridge of my nose. There was nasal resonance and I felt resonance (as if the note was 'spinning' behind the alveolar ridge). Is this the 'twang' to which you refer? The sound was certainly not 'nasal' in timbre and seemed easily to fill the performance space without any more effort than singing mf or (in a different way) piano. (To be honest, I quite surprised myself 'though had mixed feelings afterwards as, in a choir, the goal is to blend voices!)

I have a question: I'm a darker range tenor (B2-D5) should I still try to strengthen my lower range (I'm 15 and every time I try to sing under A2 my false chords engage and I end up throat singing instead)

All your voice to mature before you try driving it too hard.

dr. Dan, in the exercises I noticed quite some off pitching going on in your singing. that's what my ears told me, but I think there are more accurate ways to check if I'm right or wrong. I just wanted to point that out, so you could double check that exercise video. in no way to put down great work you do on the channel, it's just sometimes other people can notice smth. you might miss being inside the moment. if I'm wrong, no harm from checking again, anyway.

There was no off pitch singing, it’s a diminished scale which sounds ‘odd’ to an ear that’s been used to hearing melodic scales, the diminished scale takes more attention and skill to sing, Dr Dan sings it perfectly well here

Thank you for checking my tuning on this one, almur88. I am singing a diminished scale, so it might sound a little off, but I can assure you that, despite not using any digital tuning, I am singing the correct notes. This being said, during my videos, you may, at times, hear imperfect pitch. I intentionally choose not to 'tune' any of my teaching videos because I want them to display authentic voice. The real voice is wonderfully imperfect.
