Thanxxx
I just used this comment link to keep doing the practice over and over and I want to thank you for that
🙏
To whom it may concern (I know that this is not ALL of you): Guys, please stop asking for my permission for you to do these exercises incorrectly. I've never before seen so many people so ready to quit as soon as they're met with the slightest challenge. As I clearly stated in the video, your jaw should NOT move on the "Yah-Yah"! It is NOT acceptable for it to move. I don't know how else to say it. The directions won't change, just because you ask me, "Hey Eric! is it ok if my jaw moves?". If it is difficult for you, then you simply need to practice that much more! There is no magical secret to this; the exercise just takes good old fashioned practice. Some of you need to exercise a bit more patience. Progress is not always instant. Some of these exercises and techniques involve you using muscles in ways that you've never used them before. So it's ok to not be perfect right off the bat; cut yourself some slack here. But, at the same time, don't settle for mediocrity. Each day, you should find yourself getting gradually better and better. It doesn't have to be perfect now (i.e. unwanted jaw movement), but it should get better each day. Don't give up, just because it's not effortless. Sometimes we have to work for it. C'mon guys! Work!
Nicely put
👏🏽
I would like you to know that you Eric ,
really are an incredibly clear instructor no matter how many people can’t understand and ask you 100 times . Thank you for answering them. Apparently they want to understand.
But it doesn’t matter if you only get a B minus on technique in the long run, the exercise works awesome! You will listen to him every time no skipping . I was blinded as well so if I get the video, I’m lucky I JustPlay the entire way through. After hearing him for a year, you’ll understand what he’s asking you to do and how to do it and you will get the results you’re looking for. I know people understand me now. And I can sing again!
Eric is the best coach ever just listen to him over and over and over again and practice over and over again and you will see results! Good luck if you don’t give up, no one can stop you!
Do the best you can and you will get results.
I love you And you are funny to boot thank you.!!!!❤️❤️
Guys this really works just practice. Over and over and over and over and over and over.
You will hear a difference in time. I am proof. After a year people could understand me again.
But since I was a singer before my strokes, I am a singer, no matter what and therefore I practice so I can help my
muscles to sing 👍✌️
Never stop practicing and never stop singing. If you love it keep going . Don’t stop
Good Morning and Great Day!!!!
You are Awesome!!!! I desire to have a register like Minnie Ripperton, Tina Watson, and Mariah Carey!!! As a musician and singer I was greatly Blessed by your video. My son is in the music industry in California (L.A.)- his name is Kal Marshell…. As for me, when are you in Chicago as I also teach Vocals but not as great as you 😂😮❤
Jessica Marshell
YES SIRR!
9:08 for people who come to the exercises often like me!
Thank you
Do you do each one al the way through? Or you do “yahs” up and “uhs” down?
Thank youuu
i mean youre seposed to do it daily so yeah. thanks tho
Thank you :)
These videos are free? This is just awesome!
I think my neighbors finally think I've gone insane.
finally.
DaggerEyes same same
x2 xD
lmao
I feel ya hahah i think my flatmate thinks the same 😂
"If you sound good, you're probably doing it wrong" - Epic insults never go out of style
Coordination: Yah-Yah/Uh-Uh 9:12
When i finished this video my whole face felt like it was vibrating, lol.
That's GOOD! This exercise helps to awaken throat and facial muscles. ...what we call the "Cranial Pump" - it's a good thing. Gently toned facial muscles have a very positive effect on vocal resonance.
For anyone who wants to know
Im four months into watching these videos. Always coming back for refreshers and trust me if you’re consistent you will be so happy and your world changes in singing. Some might think duh 🙄 but keep coming back to the video
Good luck
God bless you.
I've always had a 'quiet' voice, and when talking or singing I always felt as if there were a 'sheet' over my voice and when I tried to go past the sheet I would crack, squeak or loose my voice. This has really helped remove that sheet and allow me to be confident with my voice, I'm stronger and louder without trying after these. I sing a lot more now because I enjoy the reliability, even though I only started doing these so I could speak better.
I'm watching from Kenya in 2018! My wife came running to see what's happening to me. She almost fell over laughing at what I was doing. But it's helped me SO MUCH!
God knows what my neighbors are thinking
Im back here after doing these exercises for a month now. At first the yah yah exercise is so damn hard 😂 For 2 weeks i just cant get it right. My jaw keeps moving and i have no idea how to stop it so i decided to skip it 😂 But then after a month I have no idea how it happened but I can do it now. My jaw didnt move and my tongue just moves forward when i say yah yah. (Probably one of the most happiest moments of my life) Also these exercises are soo effective! Im not saying I ended up singing like Celine Dion or Whitney Houston but It's easier to sing now. I dont feel the burning sensation in my throat, im not stiff when i sing anymore, and before my voice is exhausted after singing 3 songs. My friends says i sound so relaxed and my voice was so calm unlike before. In other words I don't sound like a crying donkey anymore. Thank You so much for this videos! I love you!
I am still not able to do yah yah
Hi, i try to do this exercise and it is not very simple for me. Maybe you will helo me a little? Please tell me should the adam apple rise up when i do "YA-YA-YA" ? Thank you for the answer!
@@sanchittyagi6779 try again 💛
@@sanchittyagi6779 how bout now buddy
Did you do any of the other vocal warmup exercises from Eric?
your helping me so much! im 12 and i dream of being a singer but i have no singing classes or none of that in my area. im so thankful for your channel :)
Hows it going now
Lol im wandering too, did you stick with it?
Update?
Your examples of doing it wrong are hilarious 😆 lol
LOL. Thanks 😅
You're helping me practice so much. My voice had been going downhill since I wasn't in chorus anymore. THANK YOU
Glad we could help :D
"This is kind of the season where people are catching colds."
How's that for a sock out punch? Welcome to COVID-19 folks.
hahahahaha
i was gonna say the same thing XD my throats sore.. I thought this video was recent
haha
Overall good exercises. As a voice therapist (speech therapist) who works with injured singers I'm all about isolating tongue and jaw movement from each other and from the larynx. However, (and this is just me being nitpicky about anatomy) you can't strengthen the edges of your "vocal cords." The vocal folds have many layers. The edges that actually touch are made of gelatinous cartilage. Deeper to that is a ligament and THEN the muscle. When that muscle contracts it stiffens and shortens the vocal folds; it does not close the vocal folds. When you say "uh-uh-uh" it is your lateral cricoarytenoids and interarytenoid muscles that you are activating with glottal onset exercises. Again, great exercises, and I think it's great that you are educating the masses about relaxation, coordination and focusing on how it fundamentally feels more than getting a big sound!
I'm learning to sing for my girlfriend because I'm a hopeless romantic, and your videos are definitely my go to source for help. I'm so appreciative of your videos and I love how friendly and charismatic you are in the videos. I've been singing almost my whole life, but never to anyone else. So when I recorded my singing a few days ago, I realized how terrible I sound. Your videos have already made a difference that I can notice.
Thank you.

Thank You On Behalf Of Everyone Who Benefited...God Bless You.

lmfaooo omg everytime you show the way NOT to do something i die laughing. but the videos are extremely helpful & they make me laugh so its perf (:
I'm still yawning...
Come on... We. Are in the 3rd video already 😂
THIS WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET WITHOUT MOVING MY JAWS LOL BUT PRACTICE TIL I GET THIS RIGHT
Exactly. This training technique is really not about talent or intelligence; it's just a matter of repetition. Do it until your muscle memory catches up to what your brain already knows. Diligence will win the day. Once your body gets it, you'll wonder how you ever thought it was difficult. Trust me.
had eustachian tube disorder and lost the ability to comfortably sing, came back to these videos daily and they have been more beneficial than sudofed, mucinex, or chiropractor and doctor visits. Realized I wasn't breathing properly or naturally. Remembered my routine of practicing along with these videos daily and am definitely not giving up the habit again. Thank you Eric!
I’m sorry to hear about the issue with your eustachian tubes, but I’m so happy that these videos were helpful! 🙏🏽
Broooo I think that's what happened to me after whiplash.
You are AWESOME! Began last night with your first videos and after just ONE practice lesson I am far better than I ever was, it really is mind blowing as I always figured you either had the ability to sing or not. Thank you so much for posting this valuable information and I would like to say I find your sense of humor brilliant, your comments always have me laughing. From sunny South Africa.
To my family members I'm sorry but I'm not crazy don't put me in a mental hospital I just wanna learn to sing 😂😂
😅😅
🤣🤣
You have NO IDEA how much this has helped me :D
i can’t take myself serious... on the yah-yuh exercise i laughed my ass out in the bathroom and my mom came in and asked me tf i was doing
Eric this series is changing my voice thank you so much
when I was doing the yah yah warm-up I heard my sister playing a lil Uzi vert song and honestly it sounded he was doing the warm up too all I heard was yah yah 😂😂😂😂😂

almost felt like crying because i realised that the way i had been hitting the high notes was all the way wrong, and it was so hard for me to get out of the habbit! Im going to have to do this literally every day to hit high notes, properly, not getting louder or exhausting my throat :( its going to be so hard! But i have to do it, thank you eric for all your help!
he sent me when he said "look dum with me" cause i was really thinking "dam i probably look stupid as f
I needed this. my voice has been off ever since I got post nasal drip. Mucus is clogging my throat and I cannot sing m
High notes without cracking.
i clapped like a seal a lot and smacked my table a couple of times while laughing
umm i don't usually do this but then i don't usually find people addressing these concerns in singing :) thank you so much!
ERIC! Ansh here from India..
I came to RUclips just after I was trying to record a cover of a song that has high notes and yet is smooth. I was a little sad/frustrated about the high notes.
I'm so glad I found you ! Watched the warm up video and I actually tried to sing the same song again (not record) just like that and I was much more comfortable this time. Not a huge change of course coz I just practiced it ONCE.
Now that I have subscribed to your channel, I will go through EACH lesson and practice it.
Thank you for being there.. got my hopes alive! :) God bless you.
I finished the first and second warm up exercises. Now a I'm doing this one. I hope is ok. :)) Congrats! You're the only one on RUclips that kept me focused !
Now I finished it and I feel my jaw muscles.... That's weird.
if you´re sounding good you´re probably doing it wrong. lol
:D
No cap. Your first two videos improve like 5% my vocals for my song. I could only imagine a full year of practice.
Eric I love your videos because you always tell us what we should NOT do. This REALLY helps alot. What's the point in telling us to do something when we aren't even sure if we're doing it right or wrong, right? Thank you.
Who else is here in 2024 wondering why they never ever saw this man until now? Literally exactly what I needed 10 years ago. THank you for keeping these up!
Me too 😂😂
what i love about these videos is he is genuine... what hes saying actually does help you and works! unlike some of the other videos i watched, these videos have really helped me improve in so many aspects its amazing! if any beginners are struggling about singing out like making the music project, a tip i got from a friend is to sing to an object...a cup, your phone, laptop just sing to an object, it will help focus your voice! :)
i move my jaw and i feel like im gonna quit but your reply in the comment section is the reason to me, to continue because this is a process of practice makes perfect.
Oh and not to mention, how you add the practice tune at the end so that we can practice with it. Thank you so much.
“you’re doing too many big things” so many people need to be told that in every walk of life
if only our vocal teachers..knew you......we need new ''things''...and thank god you were there when i searched for a vocal teacher...even if we are so diferernt in music culture...you are a major vocal assistance....thaaanks ...greetings from greeeeeeeeceeee
Just tried singing after the first two video exercises, such a huge improvement! Thanks for these videos, I can't afford vocal lessons right now and I forgot pretty much all the exercises I learned in the past so these are really helpful!
HI Eric, greetings from Ireland. Came across your page as I have to do a small amount of Irish traditional acapella singing. I am NOT a singer , but your methodology is so accessible , and frankly I don't feel like an idiot , even though I'm not a singer. Mucho love and hugs! All the best!
9:08 is the practice
i'm loving this vocal coaching i't simple and fun and really helps :)
I am so happy and grateful for ALL of your videos! I go back and watch at least four a day to increase my vocal strength and develop better breathing and amplification. NO one has walked me through warmups and exercises in such a productive way besides you. Again, I am beyond grateful! thank you!

Thank you for your help! Having taken classes back in the day I can really appreciate your wording as it's much easier to understand and apply than I've heard in the past.
god, this guy is so funny xD
and awesome \m/
"Your doing to many big things" 😂😂😂😂😂
He cracks me up, laughed too many times to be serious.. “don’t do that”🤣
I love how you’re very clear when you explain, honestly if you would’ve never said that “yah” is what pushes the tongue out I would’ve just kept forcing my tongue to move like yours but once you said that I was like “OH!” That makes so much sense wtf
I watched this in the shower 😂
Kaneki Amano same Here! Plus my phone is not waterproof aha.
I'm really impressed with these videos. I have never been able to sing well and been told that some people just don't possess that ability. After a month of working through these 3 videos, I have had a dramatic transformation in my vocal abilities by breaking some bad habits and concentrating more on the physical nature of singing. Like Eric said, it just comes down to practice, patience, and hard work.
while he's talking i'm going "yah, yah, yah, yah, yah,yah" keep talking.. "yah, yah" lol
my dude, your tutorials have pushed me to be vastly more comfortable with singing than ive ever been. i first found your videos about 2 years ago snd went from being unable to produce a solid note to singing all of my favorite songs. These helped me so much that i am no longer afrsid afraid of singing for my friends, infact they always ask now whenever we hang out.
I never thought id want to pursue singing until I gave these videos a shot. This is good stuff.
Higher notes have always been my trouble. Low notes are easy.
I'll post my link so you see my improvements after 1 week watching your tutorial. Cuz it's been helpful
don't know if you still check your videos but I'm glad I found your page it's help me gain back a little of a lot back that i uSe to have by doing this in 2 weeks practicing.
These definitely sound the craziest out of all of the warmups, which is why ive been avoiding them, but they’re super helpful!
I note it ur channel. God bless u.. May God lift up u for his glory amen
"don't brace for the high note, just trust it" is the best advice i've heard so far
Oh it's amazing my jaw ain't moving at all even if it's d first time I am doing this. Am I Ariana Grande already? 😂😂
10 years later and I’m here . Thank you I needed this
Eric,
When I'm doing the Yah-Yahs, my tongue feels like it tries to retract back in. When I'm watching you do the video, it seems like yours actually is moving outward when you make the Yah-Yah sound. It seems like this is getting better as I am following your advice, but is there anything you are thinking of when you are doing this exercise to really open up the airway?
I saw that comment you commented about people asking permission to do exercises incorrectly... I want you to know that I put in 2 hours, 1 hour in the morning, and 1 hour in the afternoon, into doing each and every exercise... CORRECTLY... and it pays off, thank you so much for everything!
xd i sound like a dying cat
Most people do at some point. Go through his earlier videos, esp. any ones that mention tone and clarity, and do the exercises there too. It helps, I promise. :)
hahahahahahaahaha))))
My cat was so concerned she climbed my leg and stuck her nose in my mouth.
Eric, thank you!!
My neighbors are going to kill me...
Yall we thankful for these lessons because they expensive as hell from a vocal coach we Appreciate u Eric 🙏
how do you keep the jaw still HELP!!!!!
lmao alot less astro physics involved in voice lessons. Man i just really want to thank you for these videos. being someone who passes on great information and even making it free. Truly making the world a better place. Keep doing your thing man, wish you all the success in the world.
9:08 for the warmup! I always go to 9:08 once for yah yah practice and again for uh uh practice
Same
Thank u for sharing these fundamentals for free
My singing has improved more in the last month of doing these than any other effort I’ve put in thru any other method ever before
❤❤❤
Can’t wait to purchase the full course soon
I want to improve my voice and your video popped up on my feed - law of attraction!
This brother is the truth
Or you getting spied on through yah phone
I’ve learned more from you than a regular in person vocal coach!
The yah yah's were so hard. I could hardly do them... u_u
(Heavy breathing), your profile pic makes this work. Anyway if u can't do them already keep trying! Practice makes perfect :)
2019 gang...
Haven't started the exercises yet but so far I'm immensely impressed and believe that when I've done these it will definitely improve my vocal capabilities
Kudos to you and keep up the great work man
this helps me so much! i do this everyday!
this is how i start my day.. with you!
I know I’m brand you, but you make it easy to feel like I’m part of a team. Thank you so much, for lessons and being so encouraging.
u haves a pretty face (/n .n)/
Haha Ikr
Love this guy. Funny, great information, and presented so the reason behind the practice/techniques make sense. The tongue interfering with the vocal cords seems like something we should all know, yet I've never heard that before. Thanks.

November yes

Going strong still. I do his warm-ups (if I have time) every singing session.

Eric, I am a voice coach, for speaking voice. I love your videos so much, because I am trying to get the same effect and use so many of the same exercises as you have here. I love your comment below about practice and patience! Nice to feel like I am not YAH YAH- in into the wind!
Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching ...I do them everyday. God bless you
Oh my this channel has really helped me. my voice always cracks when I go on a high note. Now I can sing smoothly without any cracks in my voice.
3:35 is better with headphones
I swear if anyone saw me doing this they either calling mental hospital or they just running like there's no stopping
6:49 nearly killed me because of laughing 🤣🤣🤣
