Anyone can sing. Seriously anyone. The voice is a muscle and if you want an awesome singing voice then you simply need to train that muscle. It will help enormously to get a good singing teacher but in the meantime these daily exercises may help. Good Luck. :)

    I love to sing and have a decent voice, but I have always been extremely weak in that mid-range where the switch happens. It's made me dread singing in front of others, even though I have a nice voice otherwise. I've done these exercises a couple times a week for maybe a couple months and I have noticed a dramatic difference! I can't believe it. For the first time in my life I feel confident singing. Thank you!

    I have not done this particular lesson for a while but making the switch is getting a lot more comfortable now as you have taught me to really understand the difference between the chest and head voices. Last July I had no idea what it meant! Now when I do these exercises I really feel the changes. I discovered the video before this one, where you give the tips, so it was a very useful precursor to this video. Off I go to the "singing room" now - don't want to bore you silly, but accept my very grateful thanks "comme d'habitude" (= as usual). Kind regards.

    Hello Anna. I love this video for the gear changes and switching exercises but have had to give up after a few minutes because of the poor internet connection we have here. However I did want to write again, because I asked a question a while ago about my voice becoming very dry and you rightly said to drink more water. Luckily that does help. But this morning I sang these songs: You Must Love Me, Don't Cry for Me Argentina, I'd be Surprisingly Good for You and If You Loved Me. I put heart and soul into my singing but by the end there were a few breaks and I became a bit croaky. I am hoping you are going to say you still don't think it's a problem because I can't do without singing (more) now. So sorry to bother you with this again, but I guess I am hoping it's just the same kind of thing as before. By the way, I have done OK with the exercises. I have also forgotten to tell you before that I can do the Vibrato now. Before I started using your wonderful videos, I tried to do it, but of course it wasn't right, but when you said that it would "come", I knew it would and it comes naturally in songs now, and where it's needed, I THINK! Thank you as always Anna. Kindest regards to you and Mark.

  • @VerbaVocal

    @VerbaVocal

    7 жыл бұрын

    +PinkGymnaticsGirl It may just be that your head voice doesn't go that low. That's not a bad thing, it's just that everyone's voice sits at a different register. Head voice is really for higher range anyway, so as long as you've got power up high then I wouldn't worry! You can use chest voice for the lower notes.

Does it take a while to make it go to your head or should that come naturally? I took a test last week and it said i have a range of 1 octaves from C# 2 to Bb3 it was my first time taking the test hopefully i can improve that soon

    I don't know really where to post this comment Anna. I read somewhere that you said try and sing a range of different types of song (correct me if I'm wrong) which I am doing. My favourite genre is still musical theatre and always will be, but I am pushing myself all the same. I have been practising "The first time ever I saw your face" because of the very slow music. So of course it makes me hold all the notes which I am managing to do. I don't allow myself to stick with the "easy" stuff, as I love a challenge. By the way this video really helps distinguishing between the 2 voices. GREAT GREAT GREAT! Kind regards, comme d'habitude!

    Whenever I sing in my lower head voice (example: the first excercise) my voice gets to a point where it automatically switched down to chest voice and it effects me whenever I sing any sort of song and I don’t know where to start

    How often would you recommend to do these exercises? I've been working this one and your Alternative 1 daily exercise. Can it be overdone? Is twice a day too much?
