First time I did it today without cracking!! Still is a bit strained but by really flexing the Kermit lift in the back of the throat I was able to hold an F on the Eeee vowel!! Super stoked :)))
Thank you for this! Found one you made in 2015 on this topic and really appreciated how you've slowed things down, added camera angles, notations (at least for Patreon subscribers), and all the other ways you help us. Singing a choral arrangement of a disco anthem ending on a sustained note over the break, and this really helped.
Hello Donovan Ackley III! Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your support on Patreon! That choral arrangement sounds amazing! Glad the video was helpful! All the best, Jeff
Jeff, hi! I hope you are well. First of all, thank you very much for this wonderful content. I have a question: I increased 2 semitones in this exercise to train higher regions of my voice, but it is difficult to shape the sound of the letter "O" when it is at the high end. Any tips to make it easier? Maybe make a sound between "O" and "Ah"?
Hey Jeff! I work from home and practice all day... what's the maximum you recommend singing? I like to do full range, sustain, and falsetto over and over again... what do you recommend?
If your voice isn't showing any ill effects - why place arbitrary limitations? I'd make sure to spend some time on repertoire as well as vocalizations though, and perhaps some time studying music theory as well! Jeff
Hey Jeff, Ive been watching your videos for the better part of a year and have enjoyed them a lot. I have kind of a random question. So idk if im kinda tone deaf or not but im having a hard time really knowing what range most of Motorheads songs are. An example is Damage Case. It doesnt sound like hes singing relatively high at all, yet i think thats mostly because of his gruff gravelly voice. Especially the last verse of the song after the key change it seems decently high and my brain just gets confused sometimes of what notes hes actually "singing" would you say this is a song suited for baritones or tenors or maybe just badass mutants like Lemmy? (cause he could only pull it off right anyway). Ive been able to achieve a similar sound as him that doesnt hurt and ive been pursuing it for giggles. Thanks!
Hi there Jeff, you're amazing, your videos are really helpful... One question though, I'm a baritone singing kinda operatic, as in the musicals, keeping a low larynx. How can I maintain that sound whilst going into a higher range like in the Phantom of the Opera for example...?
You'll need to keep the larynx in a neutral or perhaps slightly lowered position in order to adequately transition into the upper register for higher range singing. So, yes. Best! Jeff
i am a barritone, my chest voice stop around b3 above that i have to mix, but my mix extend up to b5/c6 and i feel like my g4 a4 b4 is very easy which makes me wonder a lot, my c4 d4 e4 is weak though, how can i improve that sir
Mix quãng mình rộng mà chest quãng mình lại khá thấp nên mình toàn phải hát bằng mix thôi, mỗi khi chuyển xuống chest lại khá chật vật nên mình chưa biết tập sao
Hey Jeff, I am baritone that can hit low on the staff F and one octave above the staff F, but how can I force my range into something like queens? I have tried ultra falsetto already, but my throat physically closes up no matter what I do and I can only get a quite kettle pot of a note that sounds terrible. I am also 16 and in some hardcore puberty, so that may have something to do with it.
There's a lot in your question - forcing our voices doesn't really work out. Focus on your change for the time being and work on engagement, appoggio, and vowel alignment in your comfortable chest voice range. That will serve you well as your voice settles down. Thank you! Jeff
Hey Jeff, my “e” sound in my higher has a really bad feeling in my throat. Can this be fixed? What should I do? Real scratchy. Not present on other vowels.
Sandwich it between two other vowels that generally feel well aligned and try to keep the physical experience of singing it the same as the others. The sound may change slightly in the short term future though with practice you'll find a new way to focus it. Best! Jeff
Without any further ado at 1:56 😉 Thanks Jeff! 🐯
Yessssssssss! High notes activated!

Here from the Q and A, jumped on this immediately. Thanks again man, you're awesome!
Brilliant! Enjoy!
Jeff
Hey Jeff!! Would love a video on the theory of singing. Muscles and larynx drops etc
Love the hair in this one. Great for us bari pop singers. Cheers as always Jeff
Thanks Jeff, 👍 this really helps sustain my high notes as I can have trouble there sometimes.

Awesome! This is the stretch I have been needing. Seems like a great exercise for extending range.
Thank you, Jeff!!
Brilliant exercises, very useful! Thank you very much, dear Maestro!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
So so so incredible. I will purchase your Merch this week as a thank you 💛
Thank you so much for all the videos. They help a lot!
Thanks Jeff!!
THANKS, JEFF!!! IT'S JUST WHAT I NEEDED 🙏😥
Thanks Jeff
Love your videos
Another great vid
Wow just awsome again I said u saved my voice 🙏🙏
First exercise 1:20
. . . you rule!
Thanks -
Another corker, cheers jeff! 🙏 :)
at @5:52 there is a break for me in my voice, should i be honoring the break, or aiming to sing it in my chest voice? Thank Jeff!
Honor the break, and work towards making a smooth transition, which is what my channel is all about!
Hola! Is there a second installment to this most useful video? I am becoming adicted! Gracias Maestro!
Interestingly enogh, I couldn't find one. Looks like it's time to do it! Thanks for a great suggestion!
Jeff
Nice =)) I managed to not crack or switch to falsetto. Tks

Exactly - modify the vowel more towards the /a/ or schwa vowel.

@@JeffRolka thanks jeff!! Omg i hit some really long term goals today :)
@@samuelwiseman6217 how's your improvement now?
what´s your daily routine? I mean today I´ve done Full range abd Sustain, but only once.

Jeff, what could I do to stop straining on the higher notes in the second exercise? These exercises tire my voice out a lot.
Great question! My advice would be to work on your registration event practice. These exercises depend on a successful transition.
best!

@Azure Sanchez chest voice bạn dừng ở f4 thì chắc bạn soprano á
@Azure Sanchez k bạn ơi, nam trung first break thường là b3 hoặc đầu c4 rồi á, nên chắc bạn lộn
@Azure Sanchez mình thở c2
@Azure Sanchez kệ bạn
Thank you Jeff Rolka, the 500 likes is me
Thank you so much for that! I appreciate it!
Jeff
You're welcome
This def my head voice. Can you tell me the highest note? So I know what I'm hitting?
For the main ones he goes up to an E, for the last one it goes up to an F
