and I'm an alto, and find it really comfortable. This feels like home for my voice.

This is my go-to warm up for every time I perform, thank you Jeff!

Thank you! Recovering from pneumonia and this was a great step back into using my voice.

This morning I had to decide between yoga and singing warmup and I'm so glad that Jeff encourages us to move around ❤

first exercise 1:20 until 2:30 m~ i~ -> can be done a few times advice 2:45 -> move your body around to wake the body up & assist your voice during these exercises next exercises 3:10 i~ ä~ 4:30 (4:44) i~ u~ 5:54 ä~ o~ -> later getting faster 7:10 u~ ä~ -> remember to move around a bit 8:20 until 8:45 o~ a~ total exercise time: ~7 minutes

Jeff thank you for posting these videos. I'm retraining my voice as I have not sang pubically since middle school twenty years ago for a very special project that I'm working on with a group of friends of mine. When I sang twenty years ago I was a mezzo but my voice has changed so I dropped down to an alto. Thank You again for posting these!

Thanks Jeff. I love the fact you work with vowels. It really helps to build good diction skills😉

In April 2021 I got COVID really bad and spent 6 weeks in the ICU with a trach in and on a ventilator. Since then I noticed my voice is weaker and I run out of breath faster. Plus after singing just one song my throat will hurt. I think maybe I have scar tissue from where they cut me to put the trach in. I'm not complaining, I was told after they did that I started to improve because then they could clean out my lungs. Then a month later they brought me out of sedation. 2 years later I am strong again except for my voice. It also cracks, btw. I love singing. I love how it feels in my chest. I miss sounding halfway decent, too. Lol

i’m an alto, but most alto warm up videos are too high for me and don’t cover any of my lower range. it could be partially because my voice is pretty out of shape right now, but i actually had to drop out sometimes near the lower end because it was just vocal fry coming out 😅 i will certainly be using this video whenever i wanna belt out my feelings! haha

I’ve been doing your warm ups for several months, and may I just say: thank you so much for posting these videos!! They help so much!! However, I do have a question. I have been told doing vocal warm ups quietly are more efficient, is this true?? Thank you so much!!

@JeffRolka

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! I'm glad that they're helping. The short answer is, it depends. Often vocalists that are new to formal training are singing too loud particularly in the lower ranges. Taking the volume down allows for greater disengagement of the chest voice muscles (thyroarytenoid dominant singing voice) and allows for greater flexibility as you enter the zona di passaggio. I hope that helps! Jeff

Just a mezzo soprano dropping in to practice her lower range!

im trying to expand my range as a soprano and this was so difficult lol

@JeffRolka

3 жыл бұрын

Expanding down? If so, you will have to make a transition across the primo passaggio. I have a very special video about that coming out on October 27. Super exciting first time on the channel kind of thing. More of which, I cannot say at this time, but it's going to be exactly on this on really helpful! Super excited. Top secret! Best, Jeff

The first one was complicated to me and I've been singing for my whole life- ...... 😅😅

Hi Jeff, I'm not sure if I'm an alto or a mezzo. This might be a bit of an odd question but do you intend each of these warm-ups to start in the third octave or the fourth? It looks and sounds like the third to me but I'm not sure... I sang in the soprano line of choirs for years (turns out I should not have, according to my former singing teacher) and was used to soprano warm-ups. Now that I'm in the alto line for the first time, I'm never quite sure in which octave to start my warm-ups. The comfortable part of my range is between E-flat 3 and F 5, although I can go a bit higher and lower. In the past, when taking lessons, I could hit top C#6 but can't right now. Many thanks.

Honestly questioning my range I sing alto in choir but feel more comfortable in mezzo range cause I have a hard time getting the lower alto notes literally felt my vocal chord crack when trying to sing low

If you are on a laptop or desktop computer - there should be a gear in the lower right hand corner of the screen. You can slow it down a little bit and it will maintain the correct pitch! Once you're more comfy at that speed, bring it back up to normal. Good agility practice! Jeff
