everyone has it in their voice great singers know how to flaunt it [Music] listen to how
Robert Plant uses it even when he's not singing that high to bring about energy and momentum with
his voice [Music] singing High listen to how Matt Bellamy goes in and out of ick to strive [Music]
there's definitely some more mellow and somber notes within what he's doing but
these icky notes this icky posture seems to come through very very often interestingly enough you
don't hear it so much when these singers are just talking there is something that ties you
together if you've been together since teenage years except maybe here just a little bit if you
know what you're listening for and jump about and scream and shout and listen but Zane Lowe
gets pretty icky as he playfully mocks Matt Bellamy at the beginning of this interview
everybody can Kindle used a bit more ickiness in our singing We would
unlock all sorts of wonderful things great high notes freedom of expression [Music]
lack of static boring resonance that seems to flood out of the mouths of so many practicing
singers that aren't happy with their voice the easiest way to find your ickiness is
to start by imitating characters that have no business in the area of singing
you my pretty I'll get you my pretty but a key component to making ickiness work well is often
missed listen to How The Witch's character voice goes in and out of this icky bright Brash sound
she's darker she's compressed yeah she's gritty
and yes very very icky in certain spots just try
much like we hear Matt Bellamy doing going in and out of ick
start by speaking like the witch going in and out of ick there's a lot of nasality it's bright it's
Brash your teeth are shown you're smiling and then you're going the other direction and you're
becoming somber and then you're lifting something heavy and you're combining all these little things
just as you're speaking if you practice being all loose and icky with your speaking and then
combine it with a bit of swagger and really go back and forth between these two Dynamics
your voice will be unlocked because you're encouraging your vocal Anatomy to take on
different postures and positions that get you out of your normal way of speaking [Music]
then take your ickiness to short phrases or short parts of songs and see how variety
oriented you can be don't go for any specific notes just see what this Dynamic way of using
your voice exposes you'll be amazed at what kinds of notes you can hit without even trying
everybody's got the ick Factor but not everybody knows how to use it in a way
that makes their singing a lot better for more help figuring out what your voice can
