ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Overtone singing

Overtone singing is like singing two notes at the same time! When you sing a normal note, your vocal cords vibrate and make a sound. But with overtone singing, you change the way your mouth and throat are shaped to create two notes at the same time. It's kind of like playing two different instruments at once! This technique is used in traditional music in places like Mongolia and Tibet, and it sounds really cool!
