    Balancing your sound; the sound of your voice, when singing means that your vowels will align properly in your exercises and also your songs. If your vowels align in your songs you will be more easily understood when you sing but you'll also get greater flexibility and accuracy of pitch. In other words, riffing will be easier and you'll be able to sing in tune better.
    The exercises in this video use short syllables to set up the vocal fold. Here's the catch though: the short breaths in the video will upset that setup, challenging you to be more accurate with your placement in order to get a well adducted sound. These exercises are some of the most efficient and effective ways I have found to balance a singer's tone. Presented here in moderate ranges for Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone voices for starters; these exercises are great for extending range too.
    Enjoy!

    I absolutely love that you make separate videos for each vocal range and give us a full exercise to do - it is sooo convenient with no fuss at all. I find myself just going straight to your videos whenever I want to warm up my voice and I'm on my way. Amazing! Keep up the great content!!!

    Woah, this is probably my new holy grail. Yesterday I couldn't seem to hit my notes the right way even after my warm-up, then I discovered this and I felt an immediate improvement by LENGTHS, so I just had to return to it today. Definitely going to add this to my daily practice sessions. Thank you so much for making these videos! I've only stumbled upon your channel recently, so I haven't had a chance to try more than a few of them, but so far every single one has helped me. I started college last year and I'm getting back into singing after a years long break during which, apparently, my voice dropped from soprano range to alto range without me noticing, so I have a lot to work on, but I'm getting there :)

    This should be nicknamed the Ruddigore Lamaze Lesson! ;-D (Reminds me a lot of "So It Really Doesn't Matter" from Pirates of Penzance, originally from Ruddigore. LOL - And, I just learned from a RUclips search that Vincent Price once sang one of the parts in the Ruddigore version! WOW! I hadn't even known he could sing! Learn something new every day.)

    Hey Jeff quick question, I'm a tenor and I was hoping to use this video to improve my tone in my mixed range. Would that work or it tone only something that's worked on in chest voice? Also if applicable could I use your mezzo soprano range to improve tone in my falsetto/flageolet?
    Thanks so much for these videos they are a great asset.

    Hey Jeff. Is it important to breathe in through the mouth on arpeggios? My tone seems improved, smoother when inhaling through the nose when singing the scale. Thanks.

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  6 лет назад +1

      Not especially. What is important is to have the freedom to allow the jaw to be in whatever position it was last in while you were singing. If you move it reflexively when breathing, you're inducing muscle tension that is unnecessary for proper singing.

      There is a lot of overlap in the alto and tenor fachs. Yes, totally fine.
