Hi! I understand that vowels are mapped to formants, as you can see in the following chart: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=71013415

But every chart I find (including this one) speaks about absolute values (frequencies, in Hertz), which doesn't make any sense to me, because if I have a different F0 (base frequency) for a specific vowel, of course I should have different F1 and F2, no?

What I aim for is to find a link between an average vowel (e.g. "A") and specific overtones (e.g, the 3rd overtone, the 5th overtone, etc.)

Any help is appreciated. thanks a lot.

I sometimes like to make sounds in order to help myself physically but. Unconsciously I always try to do overtone singin, though I know I can't, so I shouldn't try. Do I have some sort of mental issue haha? Maybe someone can explain why this happens?

It's not something I actually want to do, but my mouth, my throat just tries on its own, I'm actually starting to feel really really bad about it

So I’m untrained, I was being silly and did something weird with my voice on accident and then decided to try to do it again and I think it’s overtone singing. Thoughts? Am I going to hurt myself if I keep messing with it? I’m just completely relaxing my throat and making sounds.

Idk what happened to the emoji 😭

Hi guys so I’m very new to this community And I have learned to sing overtones and it actually sounds descent! The problem is that the overtones themselves sounds very quiet. Like my “main tone” has good volume but my overtones are very silent. What can I do with to make them louder? I hope this makes sense

I've got some success producing overtone sounds (maintaining airflow and a low note in my chest while creating the higher tone with my mouth/tongue) but I only seem capable of a really narrow range of overtone notes. Have a feeling there's a mechanism I haven't captured yet, some way of moving my tongue and jaw (and lips?) in tandem that affects pitch. Can anyone describe what they're physically doing to control their overtone sound?

When I was younger I tried to take singing lessons for the first time, but in the middle of (my very bad) singing, my vocal coach stopped me and said "Oh my god you sing with a natural overtone". To which I replied "What the hell is an overtone?". I was around 9 years old when it happened, but apparently my overtone is loud enough that he still caught it even during my first singing lesson. He said it was so loud that if you're trained to listen for overtones, you can actually kind of hear it when I talk. I'm 21 now and can see what he means, I can actually hear it a little while I'm speaking and I'm trying to figure out how to overtone sing because I feel like this is probably really rare. Does anyone know how rare a naturally loud overtone is? I don't want to go around saying I can do something special if I can't. Thanks so much

I'm trying to work on my pitch control, but my ear isn't good enough to tell if I have or haven't changed it pitch. Can anyone recommend an android app (preferable a free one) that can recognize the pitch of an overtone as well as the fundamental note?

I'm relatively new to overtone singing, still working on the basics. At the moment I can only produce 4 overtone notes, basically every other note in a scale. I have two basic questions I hope you can help me with: 1. Is there a specific vowel sound that resonates the overtone better? I can do e o and u / oo. I can't really tell which makes the overtones louder, I just know that they're not very loud at the moment. 2. Does changing the the tone of the fundamental also change the tone of the overtone? Such that changing the fundamental can allow producing all notes in a scale in the overtone, or even flats and sharps?
