I'll be damned! I've been singing my whole life and in madrigals and church praise teams, and thought I was an alto, but the warm ups were too low for me so I tried the mezza soprano and it fits perfectly.
I can't contribute you since I'm a student but imma watch every ad till the end! You help me so much sir.. I will make sure in future when i start earning i make contributions!!! Thank you so much 💜💜💜
I'm an alto who sometimes sings tenor (when the virtual choir gives me a choice). I'm finding that doing the alto gentle warmup and then this one helps a lot with placement of the higher notes.
Recovering from a stroke and using this in standing for breath control, standing tolerance and balance ... and also working on my enunciation and facial muscle strength on left side. Ty for you videos.
I owe so much to your videos, I've been using them for years now and even passed my Grade 8 singing exam with your help! Thank you for all your hard work :)
Being a guy this warm-up suits perfectly to me Jeff because my voice is more on the feminine side and this also helps before singing them high notes! Thank you Jeff🤗
I am tempted to make a 'lava lamp' warm up where after my intro I just train the camera on that. Could be cool. I'd have to make the patterns really lava-ey somehow.... Thanks for watching! Jeff

I have had a problem with a gravelly or gargle-like sound in my singing for about 5 years now. I found when doing this exercise that the “E” vowel is when this problem shows it’s ugly head. Can you help me understand this?
Interesting that it's only one vowel. I could speculate, but there are a variety of reasons why this could be. I would suggest you get a lesson, either with someone like me, or someone in your area. It is almost certainly an issue of issue of vocal fold adduction (the amount and force of closure) but whether it's too much or too little, it could be either. There is also the question of how airflow is being used. Best, Jeff
Thank you! Should be all set. Specifically we're talking about mid roll ads, not ads at the beginning or end. Those help me keep this thing going, and while may be annoying, aren't going to disrupt you in the middle of a scale. Thank you for letting me know! Thank you! Jeff
Thanks
Thank you so much! Thanks for your kind contribution! I think you're the first person to use that system! I really appreciate it!

I haven't sung in a long time and this not only helped me warm up, my listening skill was also challenged. Thank you!
Sir, you've got a style!
Why thank you! I appreciate that!

I do the same thing
Nooooooo where are the curls 😭😭 the Broadway voice is still there though 🙂 great warmup as always. Thanks!
HE IS BACC
thank you. I like singing but Im too shy to take clases or sing in front of people. So practicing at home is nice

@@JeffRolka oops sorry! I guess I got comment happy!
What do i do when i do this and something in the back of my throut like tightens up or so
Evaluate your engagement. Sounds as if you're gripping a bit at the vocal fold. Hard to say without hearing you though!
Best!
Jeff
I find doing some lip trills can loosen up when I'm tightening and am not aware of doing it.
