Here's a basic walk-through I put together explaining how to bring out the overtones. I ran by each step really quickly so if you have specific questions feel free to email me.
Some things that I left out.
-when making the "L" shape with your tongue, think of it as if you're pronouncing "ul" As you lift up the back it will naturally making an "ee" sound without you making it the "ee" shape with your lips.
- the BIG challenge is going to be to hold the pitch you're singing in tune while listening for the pitch of the overtones. Don't worry about that at first. You will want to work on getting the overtones to really ring, THEN you can work on sustaining the pitch that you're singing in tune.
No, whistling and overtones are two different things. Overtones are notes that are comprised within a fundamental note. By the way, your front teeth should not effect your ability to produce overtones. You can have no teeth and still do it.
By yuichituba [Affiliate User] 1213549516 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou mention that the overtones register as whistle harmonics. I think this is because overtone singing is simply a fancy way of whistling. For example if you start to whistle and then make a sound with your vocal chords, it will produce a similar effect to what you hear with overtone singing. Please correct me if you think I have the wrong idea about all this.
By Charles33333 [Affiliate User] 1213476009 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThanks a lot for this. I have a question though, my upper front teeth on the outside of my very front teeth (before canines) are symmetrically rotated slightly outwards. Do you think this will effect my ability to produce an overtone?

The other videos had some interesting tips, but this is the only one that actually helped me hit anything near the right registers. We'll play with it more when its not 4am and everyone sleeping. Thanks :)

By nexious9992 [Affiliate User] 1211398174 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThanks for this. I learned a little how to overtone and chant in my Reiki healing workshops. I'd like to study with Jonathan Goldman who also teaches overtoning in Colorado. Is there anyone else you can recommend in the Southern California area? Thanks.

By krynen123 [Affiliate User] 1211324579 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm actually a vocalist and my teacher flipped out when i showed her!
By lemonyfresh09 [Affiliate User] 1209857706 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm study music and not a vocalist either. Well, I sort of am now, but I started doing it when I was just a tuba player. You can have the worst voice ever and still do it.
By yuichituba [Affiliate User] 1209827170 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeso I'm not a vocalist. I am studying music in college though so I unserstand whats going on here. however, will not being a vocalist make overtone singing that much harder for me? i'm not saying i'm tone deaf (i can sing a tune) but I'm no vocalist so will i have a harder time?
