    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 love these exercises and do them often. I would love one like this that has more of a steady rhythm to it(doesn't pause so much and repeat the same one un-equal amounts) Like a daily voice exercise video for mixing head and chest would be tremendous! But more importantly, Your videos are a staple in my life right now, SO THANK YOU GREATLY!!!

    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.

    I have quite a strong head voice (in the sense that my higher notes are quite strong and resonant) but I really struggle singing lower notes in my head voice in the exercise. Any tips?

    • @VerbaVocal
      @VerbaVocal  7 лет назад +18

      +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.

    • @PinkGymnaticsGirl
      @PinkGymnaticsGirl 7 лет назад

      Thanks s much for replying! I feel like these exercises will really help since I find that some notes in the lower/middle part of my register, right where I go into head voice, are a little weak (especially since my higher notes are pretty strong)

    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!

    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

    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?
