🙏🙌 the many lives of Baritenors you've touched! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Thank you so much Jeff! Here’s some feedback you probably you didn’t expect, but your videos have been supporting my voice through a gender transition! I used to be a soprano and singing is extremely important to me. When I started testosterone and my vocal cords started changing I was determined not to lose the joy of singing. Your videos have given my new voice strength!

Great VIDEO...THANK U..KEEP THEM COMING

Love how you get right to the point

Whooaaa i love so muchhh. Thank you thank you very muchhh

Thanks Jeff, I'm buzzing.

This is great. Def gonna be using this as a go-to warm up. Thank you!

1 year later and I have returned to this warm up after working several others daily - and y'know what? I can now navigate those fast trills fairly accurately. I love your warm ups. Thanks!

This is PERFECT for my voice and range!

thank you Mr. Jeff!

Great video! Definitely another one to the rotation. As a tenor without much of a low range this will help.

I've been doing this warm-up for about a year now. It has helped me tremendously and I so appreciate your video tutorials. Many thanks.

Awesome, this video does it for me. I can do baritone and tenor warmups from your channel, but the notes below G2 are uncomfortable, and in the tenor warmup a4 and above feels uncomfortable.

Thank you so much for this incredible warmup - it's challenging, theraputic, and just overall badass. CHEERS

Enjoying your recent videos and discovered this during the winter surge in Covid when choral singing was not advised. (I'm 80 and so have to be careful) My choirmaster has finally admitted that Baritenor is a valid voice type!

Thanks again

Thanks a lot for the warmup for this voice type. I haven't seen other people do warmups for baritenors so I'm really glad you did it. I wasn't quite sure if I'm a baritenor before I did this great warmup of yours but now I'm sure thanks to this video. When I just started singing at 14, I was told by my vocal teachers that I'm a bass baritone but it didn't feel right because my voice never cracked growing up, it just lowered in pitch from a low Tenor I think. That's when I really worked very hard on my voice and increased my range on my own. Over several years I was able to built my high range and it started fiting standard baritone range and then got higher than that and my speaking and singing voice got higher as well. That's why my voice and range became a misfit in the male voice type classification. My voice is not as high as tenor but it's higher than a baritone. It feels good to discover that there is a name for my voice type as well such as "baritenor" even though it's not official. After some researching, I realized that some people also refer to it as high baritone, lyric baritone, baritone with some tenor notes or baritone with some high notes up the sleeve or like you mentioned in your other video a tenor that didn't transition.

YES!@ Thank you. I love your series of videos. I am so happy you show your hands on the piano now so I can also learn these exercises on piano (or bass guitar) and do them offline if needed.

Thanks Jeff. 66 + and have learned the harmonica quite well. In bands and open mics, having a ball. Now I have decided to try singing... I quit in my teens when my voice changed and girls and sports took over. I have gravitated to you exercises and feel improvement. So much better than hearing others mainly talk and lecture. You have the right formula for me. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for being part of my baritone journey Jeff, I love your relaxed way of being and your dry humor it's very contagious. Also, it's very impressive that you play all the scales on the piano, it earnes you my respect. Keep being you Jeff, and thanks for creating awesome warm ups.

Jeff, the baritenor warmup is amazing. I've been singing acapella four-part (SATB) harmony all my life, always tenor. BUT, I feel I've never been tenor "enough" to do justice to singing in a sustained way over the secondo passaggio. And while I do have a fairly decent lower range, I certainly can't pull off the bass part. Baritenor is the perfect solution to my lifelong quandary. Thank you for bringing the baritenor range out of the closet.

Hi Jeff, I’d like some more Baritenor stuff. I’ve been working on my voice with your help for a couple of years now. I started with the gentle baritone warm up and just kept working it. My range has been increasing. Now I am carefully adding (some) of the tenor warm ups. The baritenor range may describe me. Ir maybe the “medium” voice. I’m not too hung up about bass/baritone/baritenor/tenor classifications. The only real thing I can guarantee about my voice is that it’s my voice, and I’m having fun developing it. btw, I did subscribe, like and patreon you. I’d feel stingy if I hadn’t.
