And about female songs, it is still hard for me to hit over the certain point of where soprano range is. I guess either I need more practice or this is just over my range, as I am definitely not a soprano. ;)

before I turned 18 I could get really deep comfortably and thought I was an alto, its been a couple of years and now I stop about three notes higher than my previous lowest note but can reach much higher going up the scale so I trading off and have found myself hear.

I'm so confused whether I am a Mezzo Soprano or an Alto......since I can't sing both scales quite comfortably. Your videos help a lot. Thanks! Love from India.

Oh heck This is this the first warm up I feel comfortable in

Each time I try to sing a song it sounds a bit dry and my voice seems to crack a bit while singing so I’m going to try these warm ups to help my voice out. Thanks.

My range is from a C3 to an E5 and this really helped. Since the 6th grade when I first joined choir he told me I was an Alto and obviously since then my voice has grown and then I have a new teacher this year, I'm in eighth grade and she told me I'm an mezzo soprano and he kept me so Alto for the past two years to keep my voice from being damaged when he should have allowed it to grow. Now I'm a mezzo soprano.

Thank you so much for remember us, mezzos!! Nice video, like always. Best for you, Jeff...

Thank you so much! I had studied vocal technique for 3 years in college plus private instruction, that was 30 yrs ago and I just got back into a choir thinking I could pick up where I left off! WRONG Lol..I had lost a lot of my range..These videos have helped me get back much of my mezzo range. I practice the warm ups every morning and now after 2 weeks I can hit the full mezzo range..When I was in my 20s I believe I was a mezzo but could hit the full coloratura range, however I am happy just being able to hit full mezzo now!
