Regarding Vocal Harmonics

Greetings and salutations, dear reader.  With the cosmic alignments in place currently, our abilities are evolving and some of us are or will be experiencing a change in our throat chakra and tone sensitivity.  The information expressed here explains a bit about vocal harmonics and contains exercises to practice with to explore your own voice and hone your skills.

Vocal Harmonics

Our bodies, organs, and bones inside us create distinctive vibrations and energy. In order for everything in our bodies to function properly, everything must be in tune and in perfect harmony and frequency with one another. If some portion of our body becomes out of alignment and begins to vibrate disharmoniously this is perceived as disease.

Disease is our bodies playing out of harmony, vibration, and out of rhythm. If we were able to find the particular disharmonious vibration, realign it, and tune it back into harmony with the other body frequencies we can restore health. By creating vocal harmonies we can not only restore health and stay well, we can also reach deep states of continuous meditation, relaxation, and lower our stress.

We have the natural ability to create many different kinds of sounds and vibrations with our voices. We also have the special ability to create two or more vocal sounds simultaneously. This is called “Vocal Harmonics”. Learning to create vocal harmonics, also called overtone singing, is one of the most potent and practical approaches we can take towards healing our self and creating harmony in our bodies.

Sound is the fundamental creative force of the Universe. The art and practice of healing and transcendence with sound is not new. Its methods are ancient, but many people are newly awakening to this very powerful knowledge. Vocal harmonics have been employed in various shamanic and spiritual traditions, including Mongolian Shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism. It has also been in use by many ancient schools that date back thousands of years.

We humans have everything we need within us to literally vibrate our selves into perfect harmony at the resonance-level of God vibration and energy.

There are a few different traditional methods of overtone singing to create vocal harmonics. Let’s take a look at a couple of different methods and learn how to do it.

How To Perform Vocal Harmonics

Below is a basic primer for how to get started with vocal harmonics. I highly suggest you search for the many great audio and video examples available on the Internet. I also strongly suggest you visit Jonathan Goldman’s website http://www.healingsounds.com and pick up a copy of his “Healing Sounds Instructional” CD and also his “Vocal Toning the Chakras” CD. These CDs will teach you the ability to create vocal harmonics very easily on your first tries. They will also teach you how to create healing vibrations through practicing vocal harmonics and the power of intention to heal you and clear you of any old or negative energy. I’ve found these CDs to be an invaluable tool.

The following techniques are guidelines to help you get the feel and sound of the high, medium and low register overtones. Once you are familiar with the sounds and comfortable in creating the overtones, you will discover your own techniques and unique sounds to explore. These techniques should in no way strain the vocal cords. In fact, the quality of the voice and breathing capacity should improve with practice. Have fun with the techniques! Remember, no forcing or straining. The overtones come when you are deeply relaxed.

The first point to remember is you do not want to sing loudly. You want to sound out a sustained note at about the same volume level as your normal speaking voice. It is also helpful to place a cupped hand in front of your mouth and the other hand tucked behind your ear so you can hear the overtones easier.

Whenever you sing a tone, there are also a number of higher overtones "inside" that tone which are harmonically related to the main pitch (or fundamental tone) that you're singing. You can physically "focus" your voice so that one or more of those overtones are emphasized, creating the impression that more than one voice is singing.

To focus your voice in this manner, there are two main concepts to work with: placement, and formants. Both have to do with controlling acoustic resonance in your body.

Placement deals with what part of your body is resonating the tone(s) you're singing, i.e. your chest, your throat, your head, etc. For our purposes, you want to use what's called "forward placement." That is, you want your voice to resonate in the front of your face — in your nose, cheekbones, and teeth. To learn to place your voice forward, sing a long sustained tone, such as an "oo," preferably a higher pitch in your vocal range, as these are more easily resonated in the head. See if you can focus the tone in such a way that you begin to feel a buzzing sensation in the front of your face. As you begin to feel it, emphasize it further by increasing the forward focus of your tone. It's a phenomenon better introduced in person than in writing, but if you play with it for a while, you'll get the hang of it. (TIP: You can test whether you're achieving good forward placement by touching your front teeth together very slightly; if they buzz strongly against each other as you sing, you're on the right track.)

By the way, singing with forward placement doesn't mean that the rest of your body isn't also resonating and contributing to the sound — it is. Forward placement just means that the "leading edge" of your voice is resonating and buzzing in the front of your face. You need this resonance because it means the higher harmonics are strong, and ripe for being made stronger.

To make those harmonics stronger, we now turn to formants, the characteristic frequencies and resonance of the different vowel sounds that we produce when we talk or sing. How do we produce these different vowels? By changing the shape of our mouths — both internally, through the relationship between the tongue and the roof of the mouth, and externally by the size and shape of the opening of the lips.

This is exactly the same mechanism we will use to sing overtones, but we're going to slow the whole thing down so that we can minutely control the changes in vocal resonance. Start by singing a long open tone, and very gradually alter the vowel sound that you produce. For example, start with an "oo" sound and very slowly "morph" it into an "oh," then an "ah," than an "eye," then an "ay," then to “ee” etc. Find those odd, in-between sounds halfway between "ee" and "oo," or "ah" and "oh." Explore all the subtle vowel gradations such as you find in words like "wood," "car," and "oil." Don't just read these exercises, try them for yourself — they're fun, and quite ear-opening. As you experiment, notice the many ways in which you use your tongue and lips, and how they contribute to the sound.

Forward placement of your voice is critical to create the focused "edge" that you need. When you feel that vibrating edge, very slowly make subtle changes in the shape and height of your tongue, and listen closely for the presence of high, bell-like tones in your voice. Keep making slow, subtle changes in your vowel sound and forward placement until you hear one of those tones. When you do, focus your attention on it, and see if you can increase its intensity, either by changing your tongue slightly and/or changing the shape/size of your lip opening.

Learning these skills is always a process of trial and error. It's important to pay close attention, listening for and emphasizing those subtle physical changes that produce the desired results. Only such gradual changes and concentrated attention will allow you to focus your voice precisely enough to begin amplifying specific overtones. It's best to do these experiments indoors rather than outdoors, because the overtones are quickly carried away and lost in the open air. The space you sing in can have little or no ambient reverberation, like a car or small carpeted room, or it can be very "live," like a tiled bathroom, large open living room, gymnasium or dance rehearsal space.

Once you've got the hang of it, you can find and amplify a nice clear overtone for pretty much any vowel sound (though some are certainly harder, such as long "a"). Once you've found one overtone, if you keep your tongue position constant, you can produce other overtones simply by changing the size and shape of your lip opening. As you cycle up and down through the other overtones, it sounds much like the arpeggio of a chord because the overtones are harmonically related both to the fundamental tone and to each other.
