a common space for harmonic overtones
Hint and tips: Khoomei
Hello everyone,
I just had an idea to create this (hopefully) series of topics made for us to share our knowledge about throat singing (and overtone singing as well). In my own experience i've discovered, that anything might help you to begin and develop as a throat singer even if it's very unconventional. I've learned, that even the most "strange" tips may be very helpful for finding right techniques and styles. So share your own experience, knowledge, hints and tips for all kinds of throat singing (and overtone singing as well :)) and help everyone who visits this discussion to become a throat singer. Cheers
And here's my own tip on how i got a basic Khoomei style, focused on beginners: (and please Alzin do not ever and i mean EVER upload the "lesson" i gave you, please please don't do that:))
At first this was very strange to me but i've found out that it really works. In the beginning I was kinda stuck on dead point on my way to achieving khoomei because i wasn't able to find the right constriction. In the end it was easy like a feather (at least for myself). Basically I was just playing with my mouth and with my voice, and by some really strange coincidence i found the best constriction which works for me. Here's how you can do it:
With my mout open i kinda stretched my lower lip to one side (left or right, doesn't matter) as far as I could and then by making a sound with my voice the constriction just fell into it's place and i was able to get some khoomei voice. It's very hard to explain that sound of my voice. It's something between imitating a vomit sound and imitating Louis Armstrong while making constant "UAUAUA". You just need to practice on your own, play with your voice while your lower lip is stretched to one side (and put it back once you reach khoomei of course). Try out making different sounds. Hope this helps someone

Thanks, I'm on the last, let's say, 0,5 percent of the cold. The part with the slimy throat. -.-
Anyway, great to have you back! :-)
And it's of course not fortunate that you can't record. ;-) -

It's been too long. I'm slowly building a library of stuff I made on Soundcloud...
Go ahead, browse around. http://snd.sc/ujJIME -

Oh, I never thought of that. *Facepalm* It's too obvious for me. XD
I should record some samples, it's been a long time since the last... I haven't yet recorded anything this year! ;-) -

Um, I thought when the music uploads were thrown out of OMN, that's what we all had to do...

Yes, of course you're right, sometimes I just don't get the easiest things...
