Members bodilingus Posted March 16, 2014 Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've noticed a technique that some singers use in which, normally at the end of a phrase or long note, they 'jump' up in pitch, usually using falsetto, to a much higher note than the one they're on, and then carry on as normal. It's very subtle, and hard to describe, but one artist I've noticed it in is Janet Devlin, such as here at 1:36 on the word 'quite' and 2:18 on the word 'I'- you can quite distinctly hear here that she very quickly jumps up a fourth from the F to the Bb. Does anyone know a name for this?? It's almost like a very subtle form of yodelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ido1957 Posted March 16, 2014 Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 Sure - why not call it yodelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators davie Posted March 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think its just a subtle yodel. Sarah McLachlan is well known for using this technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Masklin Posted March 17, 2014 Members Share Posted March 17, 2014 Definitely a form of yodeling. Peter Gabriel does it a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
