Vocal Tips: Brett Manning - How To Sing “E”
Just a free vocal quick tip. Brett Manning talks about one of the hardest vowels to sing, “E”. Traditionally singers will change the “E” vowel to an “Ay” or it will remain an “E” but be very strained, constricted, or squeezed sounding.
Brett shows how to use a sligthly different approach to find a full sounding “E”. We think it works pretty well so tell us what you think.
















hi, i´m a deep bass, and I use this variation of E in that region with really good results, very confortable… it really works…
but, how about 1 octave above…
narrow the vogal, and make this variation, etc.. but, do you have another hint to improve a great mix/chest sound above high C?
I already do the singing success Cd´s. and I´m have about 7 octaves in a good mix, but, I´m still in the “A” above male high C, I want to go far than that… maybe wistle someday…
I´m in Brazil… is dificult to reach answers…
Thank you
Hi i am working out with my youth choir how can i get some matrials from you to help myself and they.

Thank you. I’ve used your cds and can now sing D-D# above male high C. Eee is problematic coz it closes the mouth, thank you for this video. Can you do a video on developing whistle voice please? Cheers!
HI, I’ve been doing the cds everyday for a while and I’ve been able to find my mix with no breaks and it’s really ecxiting, but I can’t realy apply it to a song, my mix gets too heady or I start singing like before, mainly in chest voice, like belting the songs, I would really like some guidance to apply the technique to songs. I’m from Argentina, Buenos Aires, I would go to Nashville if I lived closer!!!. Thanks.

I don’t get this. I can sing i or ee on a high note without too much issue. Surely the problem is of adjusting the vocal fold posture and choice of core tone production in the upper part of the range? I acknowledge that tongue position, ostensibly higher on the ee than other vowels, can destabilise the larynx, and since it will want to rise on the higher pitch this will tend to narrow the sound, but I don’t see how singing i will help except by giving a slightly lower tongue position? I suppose this would round the tone a little, but then you aren’t singing ee anymore! i is a short vowel which can be problematic on a long note anyway, and distinct from ee. Can you explain why and how this works in practice as I am quite confused?!
Thanks
most likely you are singing eee and i using legit head voice. Since you are female I will assume this to be true as a more full sound (mix) will be more difficult. It is very good advice to sneak in to a ee from ih as this video shows. It doesn’t say the vowels are the same… it just means that one leads to the other. Ee needs to not be squeezed as can easily happen when more weight is added.
Head voice is much lighter and easier to do ALL vowels so it’s not fair to compare female and male legit to full out mixing.
i found this tip very helpful. i am a baritone and i can get into head voice mush easier.i have been singingfor 60 years now and i am learning new things from you all the time.thanks brett for all you do.
I found this tip very helpful! Now, how about a tip about the word “love” at the end of a phrase. For some reason, I have trouble, especially if the note for the word “love” is to be held for any length of time - it doesn’t seem to sound very steady and strong.
that was very helpful
@ Dorothy,
Try narrowing love then expanding as your hold it.
put a cross between uh and oo if that makes sense.
Love these tips. I’d love nothing more than to come camp in your backyard and eavesdrop on all your lessons. Busy, busy, busy but in a calmer season I’m coming to get a lesson. Keep thinking I need a massage to ease the tension and I really just need a good tip or two. Thanks for making these available!

Awesome! I just wrote a song that had an E sound in the higher part of my range and I was having trouble singing it. Now I know what to do!
Thank you.
