As terrible as it seemed, in life it was much worse. That being said, the editing (hard as it may be to believe) wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Let's just say reality TV is far from it.

That's a good one. Thanks for asking. It's a matter of harnessing the tone simultaneously using the shape of your mouth, which creates an overtone (or two notes at once). Anybody can make an overtone.
Try this.
Vocalize a long "ah" vowel. AHHHHHHH. And then change it to an "ooh" sound. AHHHHHHH-OOOOOOH-AHHHHHH-OOOOOOH. The simple act of making a vowel sound automatically produces an overtone. The overtone becomes more apparent when you shift from one vowel to another.

For soundtrack work, it'd be awesome to get on True Detective. I made a stab at trying to get on the soundtracks for the Star Wars movies. Maybe for Episode VIII. ;) And I'd also like to get on the Price is Right! I can hear it now... "Soriah, come on down."

Well most people aren't acquainted with the art form itself. So, I'm pretty forgiving of that. When they hear it, it usually hits people out of the blue. It resonates with some ancient part of ourselves, something timeless. People aren't really used to these frequencies or even doing any sort of self reflection which throat singing tends to evoke. It's much easier to push it away or mock it. I knew this going in.
I had no illusions that I would win a million dollars or get a Las Vegas show. I just wanted to educate people about these frequencies and the Tuvan culture. I wasn't prepared how unwilling the audience and Curly, Moe and Larry were to being cultured. I guess that's on me. Oh well, no regrets.
