Sound of change/Finding Your Range Lost & Found Jam Sessions

# Whoa, whoa, whoa. #

Hey, guys. Today we'll be singing Sound Of Change.

We're just kind of working it out, and we really hope that you like it.

Yeah. It's going to be amazing.

# Ooh

# Ooh

# We need a storm A howling wind

# A twisted sky A tidal wave

# That pulls you to the shore

# And buries you in the sand

# And washes you away

# So we start over again

# They turned the lake into a swamp

# They built a bank over a park

# And my dime disappears

# And that's OK cos it's not real

# In the afterlife I feel

# My money is dead

# If we find that times get hard

# It just makes us who we are

# And the scars that run so deep

# Are the richest memories

# I don't want to stay the same

# I want to look back proud some day

# The sound of change all I want to hear

# But it

# It won't change if we keep hanging on

# What's that

# That sound

# What's that

# That sound

# We're lost

# And found

-# He's lost

-# We're lost

-# She's found

-# And found

# We're lost

# And found

One more time!

# We're lost

# And found. #

CHEERING

In today's lesson, we'll be going over vocal ranges -

how you can find it and...

Yeah, let's take a seat and we'll show you.

To find your vocal range, first off, if you have a piano,

just look for middle C - it should sound something like this...

PLAYS MIDDLE C

And try to match that with your own voice, so...

# La... #

And then to find your range, actually,

just start from C and work your way down, singing each of the notes

until you find one that you can't sing.

And that will be...

The lowest note you can sing will be the bottom of your range.

And then do the same thing, starting from middle C,

and work your way up.

And whatever note is the highest, that would be the top of your range.

-Yeah.

-So that's just how you find a range, yeah.

Yeah, and don't be discouraged if you can't hit the note right away,

like, find exactly which note it is.

Cos, you know, some people have trouble with that,

-and that's perfectly fine.

-Yeah.

Another thing I'm not sure you guys know is that

you actually have two ranges.

One of your ranges is your chest voice,

which is your stronger, more powerful voice,

and then you also have your head voice, or falsetto.

So, what's the difference between those two?

So we have the...

-# Ah... #

-SINGS IN CHEST VOICE

-# Ah... #

-SINGS IN HEAD VOICE

Yeah, so most of the time you can go a little bit higher

in your head voice or falsetto.

Another really cool thing to note

when it comes to chest voice and head voice, or falsetto,

is to go through the scales, because there's going to be a certain point

in your range when you're working up

when you're going to have to transition to head voice.

-Right - that's a tricky transition.

-Yeah, it can be really hard

and awkward, because all of a sudden you've got your chest and it's like,

"Whoa! I can't sing that any more in chest."

And for some people that transition will be earlier, some later,

so it's really important to know where that happens

so you can smooth it out and just be aware of it.

You know, if your strengths are, "I can belt really, really high,"

or, "I have a really strong head voice," or something like that,

so it's a really important thing to know.

-All right, guys, see you later.

-Bye!
