Dear Mr. Arceneaux. I'm recommending all my students to your course of study. Yours is the clearest, most effective, and accurate set of exercises I have seen online. I teach master classes in many universities and here in New York and my students are always looking for good resources. You have put together an accessible, efficacious course of study for singers of all levels. Bravo.
Good day sir... I was hit on my neck... And after that incident, my voice becomes rough and can't those notes I do normally hit before and each time I try singing high or low low, a kind of lump sensation will appear in my throat and I will get a contraction stopping me from singing high and I get easily cracked because of this incident... My real texture has been lost... What has happened to my vocal cords and will I ever recover sir, is being 3months this incident happened sir... I need a reply from you and recommendation sir...
I agree with chuck... this has been really helpful... also einstein stated trying something repeatedly and expecting different results is just plain SAD (trump impression) i struggled to be confident in my singing voice.. these awareness exercisses have been an EYEOPENER@@.
Getting yelled at to "shut up" is all part of the magical journey that is becoming a singer. Learning to ignore them as you continue practicing is another part 😌 #TheyCanStayMad
Lol my mom walked by trying to tell me something I told her not now mom I'm trying to learn how to yawn she was like what O.o I thought you're spending your time trying to learn something important
I'm literally amazed right now because before this video my voice was not cooperating with me until I watched this video and did the exercises. As soon as it ended, I did what you said and sung and when I tell you there's some annointing in these exercises LOL!! On to Part 2!!
Thank you very much, for these exercises, just started doing, voice training and high notes are a struggle. Will definitely work with thes. God bless 🙏 ❤.
I’ve been doing your voice lessons since 2018! Now I’m releasing my first album with range, control, and agility I never thought I’d have before! Thank you 💕
damnnn it's been a month or two since i started doing this warmup and when my dad heard me sing after doing this warmup for a month he said i can finally sing in tune!! i can also control my voice and do vibratos 😭ure a legend eric
Quick summary for anyone who needs it, hope it helps! - Do it every day (everything) - Good for all genres 1. Yawning (relax and open up the throat) 2. Gentle cough (feel the abdominal, sides, chest, and back muscles) --- Light gentle lip rolls --- 3. Light gentle lip rolls, like sigh-ing (throat stay relaxed and let the body work) 3.1. Similar to 3 but do it while shaking your head from side to side (like you're saying no) 4. Continue to shake your head from side to side but go from high to low note 5. Lip roll from low to high notes (tip: tense or lift up shoulders and lip roll while you relax) 6. Gently bent knees down (like squatting) as you lip roll from low to high note (body goes down, voice goes up) 7. Similar to 6's motion but high to low notes (voice goes down with your body)
Awwww You're amazing, I was told by my husband to yawn in the shower to open my vocals. I know this sounds so odd but he had passed away when I got this message and then to see this today, blows my mind at how awesome God is. Thank you.
Before i start this regularly i have questions if you dont mind 1- Once you do this after a while, is it permanent or do you need to do this before you sing 2- How long did it take for your voice to change?
ok but this actually helped so much 😳🤚 there was such a visible change in my voice because i sing all the time just randomly. it made my voice more free and clean and the tone was just a lot better! thanks so much!
I have been told I'm a terrible singer, but I love playing the guitar and I would love to belt out a song without everyone walking out on me. After watching your video just once I recorded myself and sure enough, I could actually handle listening to myself. Just imagine what will happen if I keep up your fantastic lessons. You are adorable by the way, love your energy
The one thing I have learnt from my own experience is that anyone and everyone can sing.Just one important thing is that everyone has their own range, until an unless you do not cross the range you can do wonders. One thing I have been struggling with even after getting better is the confidence of telling others that I am capable of singing. So I advice u to sing alone with yourself but sing with a group of people (your friends I would recommend). This is important cause if you are good at something it is essential for you to communicate it and sometimes confidence is an essential part cause without confidence in your voice and in yourself the worst may come out of you. I hope you enjoy your journey of being a badass singer and don’t give up 👍👍👍
Love this video series. Vocal warm up part starts at 2:52 for those who are revisiting this video, like me, and just want to run through the exercises with him.
To anyone watching wondering if these work, I've been watching Eric's videos for a few years and JUST doing these warm-ups improved my voice by the end. I'm not joking! I sang a song before I did these and sang the same one after and my tone was much clearer, my high notes were less strained, and I started to deliver vibrato consistently!! My sister laughed the whole video till I sang at the end and her jaw dropped, she wasn't laughing anymore. I literally do these once every few months but still continue to improve so if I did these daily I'd be set! IT IS THE BEST, THIS IS WORTH PRACTICING!!
These tips are great, at the end of the warm up I was already able to feel a difference in my voice! As if I tuned a guitar correctly, that was the feeling. I will keep on doing this every day! Subscribed : )
I've found using this warm up along with Sinatra's method of gargling olive oil and drinking a glass of warm green tea really helps ease the tension we're trying to get rip of with the warm ups while also having the throat well lubricated for increased range! Great video!
I am a choir teacher in middle school and what I really love about this, is that I say the same things to my students, but they think I am crazy and question the method and why in the world I make them do the things that I make them do in warm-ups. But...You make it look cool! I think if I show this to them, they will listen to YOU and realize that I'm not a crazy person. So, thank you.
Dear Eric, This has helped me not only to gain strength and control without straining my vocal chords! It has also given me the confidence to be a part of my church's worship team. That for me is the blessing of blessings in your course. May joy love abundance and peace be your companions and may Jesus always be the light that shines upon you . May God continue to bless you and your family and your children and your children's children for a thousand generations . Thank you eternally in Jesus name Amen and Amen from Sacramento California 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️
Mine was an Ad telling that the youtube videos doesn't work at teaching how to sing, and that they have the key to learn how to. It reminded me to politicians who fight and offend the competition in order to gain audience. Disgusting. :v
Thank you so much for putting these videos out! I've been searching for the right assistance to retrain my voice, and I feel great confidence in your teaching. It's thorough, explanatory, full of good humor, and uniquely classy in your personal conduct, all of which make for a very relaxed and inviting environment. Much appreciated!
okay wow!!! yes I felt silly for some of the vocal exercises. in fact I had to stop a couple of times and have a giggle fest. but when I was done I decided to sing on my own which is a song I've been singing since I was 12 so almost 15 years now. I've never heard my voice sound so clear and even and I didn't have to fight to reach the high notes for the first time in my life! I felt clear and in control of my own voice. these exercises were so, helpful thank you so much!
Wow! I have sang, not professionally, but in church and local venues and never have I felt more comfortable than after this lesson! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️❤️🙌
There are FREE singing tips, products that you can purchase, as well as info on how to take one-on-one lessons; it's all on our site, www.AApproach.com. And did I mention that there are FREE tips? ;)
Progress Report: I've been practicing all these tips for about a 7-9 days. Finally I cracked myself up thinking, here I am, another one of hundreds of thousands of viewers making silly sounding lip rolls and other funny stuff. But they say laughing is good for you, and given my vocally challenged situation, I couldn't possibly get any worse. After only a week of daily effort, and feeling I was making some progress, I went back to the studio and laid down the same track I'd recorded prior to starting the exercises. I was shocked to find that while I had more confidence, my sound sucked even more than it did before. I was louder and steadier, but no "better". Still I persisted, and two days later I remembered another tip from another one of Eric's videos, which was to try to let your "talking voice" come through. It's not like I didn't know that already, but what's cool about Eric's tutorials is that he reminds you of the fundamentals. When I worked my talking voice into the mix, suddenly things started coming together. Also, don't be fooled by the seeming ridiculousness of the exercises. What I found is that it's not the "lip roll" or whatever the exercise is that is the point. The point is focusing on what is taking place within your physical system when you are doing the exercise, e.g. the rate and steadiness of the airflow required to maintain the exercise; whether or not the tension of certain muscles is necessary to achieve the same effect, and separating what is happening with your vocal chords from the rest of your body. Singing is something that I assumed should be as natural as talking, and while that's partly true, there's a lot more going on than we think, and exploring that is what Eric's tutorials will help you do. I realize that real progress is going to take me longer than a week or two. But in only 9 days, I have a new appreciation for the way my body works when using it as a musical instrument. It has given me a basic palette from which to find the right colors ( if that makes any sense ). Before this it was all accident combined with a lot of trial and error.
Hey, I'm assuming by the talking voice, he means the chest voice (that's the general terminology, at least), but I've got a problem. I can't tap into my chest voice. It's weird. I don't why, I think I got a cold a few years back and haven't been able to speak in my chest voice since then (or at least, doesn't have a very good control over it).
@@Dhruv-qw7jf actually.. Singing in your talking voice means two things.. 1) Opening the vowels nd pronouncing consonants in the same way as speaking when you sing. 2)Chest voice as you said.
@J Randall Murphy ..nd this needs more likes.. Cuz this is the exact same thing happened to me ,i totally agree with you..espesially with the "theres lots of other stuff going around in singing"...cuz theres literally just a huge room for improvement for anyone at all! Nd i cannot explain it in words better than you!
3* weeks in(give or take a couple days) and I highly recommend doing some basic stretches for 10 minutes before these exercises, it’s helped a ton! I feel AND hear a huge difference already. Some days are better than others but I’m excited about my progress so far✨
Dude, you explain in such a way that a morbid thinking pet rock like myself can be uplifted into a place of capability, encouragement and understanding. You sir, deserve to be called, sensei.
When I was practicing my dad came in my room and said"what r u doing? " I said "nothing" then he asked me " then what was that sound" I answered " I don't know, maybe it's coming from the neighbour's house" hahaha......
I've had years of vocal teachers, and private lessons and this is the most simple, fast, and efficient warm up I've come across. My voice loves it, thank you very much!
I was looking for singing lessons on youtube and most of them didnt help and my singing was awful until I start doing the lip roll exercises and all the othet exercises and I noticed SO much improvement so I am subscirbed to his channel and I would personally thank him for these video exercises. 10/10
Your 3 part video on vocal warmup is my bread and butter. Within 30 mins my voice sounds so much better and much more powerful. Thank you for sharing these tips with us
I actually kept doing those exercises along with you and at the end when you told us to sing a song then , I could recognize the difference , its so good . Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us ! Hope I will be able to perform one day and forever : )
Same here. I just said (ala Robots), "My darling, that is the cry of the Deep Doo Doo Bird!" Her response was, "Keep that noise up and you will be in deep doo doo alright."
okay, imma come back here everyday and note the differences i noticed. day one: my throat hurts ajsndb, but beside that my voice kinda sounds more 'open'. (can u like so i can remember to come back?)
Ah it's amazing! Seriously though. I started seven months ago for worship at my church, and within months there was a huge difference. So grateful for these warm ups. They not only helped to strengthen my voice, but my confidence as well. Thanks Eric.

You may never see this but this is the first vocal training video I've ever seen and I could notice a difference this first time. I will be saving this video and using it. If you are ever in Columbus, Ohio post it.
I'm going on 22 yrs with a 9 piece professional wedding band. And, I've watched this before every single one not long after you posted these!!! I always tell people about it. TY SO much for these wonderful exercises!!!
I was super skeptical, but after going through all this, HOLY CRAP their IS a difference in how I sound singing :O he has officially won me over to vocal practices. Omg I am super excited now :D
This tutorial helped me out a lot on my breathing technique - and for those of you who feel "stupid" doing any of this; my vocal instructor has some good advice: "If you feel stupid, you're doing it right." [:
So Glad to See Over 16,000,000 views on my favorite warm-up video . When I first starting watching & practicing w/ Eric's video's I think it was around 8 million -which was already awesome. I do this warm-up literally every week. Thx Eric
Hello I am a gunshot survivor I lost my ability to talk due to the bullet in my head I used to sing all the time I really miss singing so I've ben listing to music to gain my ability to talk again but I don't have alot of movement in the back of my tongue area or my lips mouth exact its like a stroke recovery but brain injury I really want to sing again an ttalk to my Kids again physically not with my computer what should I do plzz help me❓❓
❤❤ sorry for your struggle but im happy youre still here. People take the smallest things like being able to talk for granted. And when you said you wish you could talk to your kids again.. Wow.. That hot me hard. I dont have kids but it put things into perspective. Hope you found the guidance you seek ❤
I apologize that this has happened to you. I pray healing and miracles over your life.Godbless Stay strong in God. If you dont know him grab a relationship with him fo tomorrow is never promised. Godbless you
holy hell i did the exercises and now my voice is better and going to highs and lows i haven't achieved before. always tensing up this will help me immensely in va work.
Thank you so much, Eric!! I tend to lose my voice often due to acid reflux. After doing these exercises, I realized that I constantly and unknowingly hold my lower chest muscles/ diaphragm really tightly. Not only have these exercises helped with vocal range, but also my acid reflux!! I was hurting myself and didn't know it, lol. Thanks again, and I look forward to further progression :)
Do you remember at the end when he said, try a song you normally sing and maybe you'll see a difference? Before I played the video I had been struggling with a song. After the video I tried singing the same song again and I could see a big difference. Maybe he'll make a singer out of me yet :) Love, Peace and Respect.
7 years later and this training is still relevant! I am a singer who stopped singing more than 35 years ago and although my voice is there the power of it and the high notes I was able to do naturally aren’t there right now. I am sure with your trainings that in a few months that will change. A million thanks to you, I was ready to give up on trying to sing again but someone told me to find a good vocal coach online and I did...YOU!
2:53 body warm up 4:26 yawn 5:53 gentle cough 6:53 simple lip roll 7:34 Lip roll with gentle head shake as in shampoo commercials 8:20 Lip roll from head voice to chest voice 9:22 Lip roll after releasing hunched up shoulders and lip roll goes from chest voice to head voice 11:26 Lip roll from chest voice to head voice as body goes down as if you're about to sit 12:04 Lip roll from head voice to chest voice as body goes down as if you're about to sit
This is my FIRST time doing this exercise and at the end I felt my throat much more open than at the beginning, and my frequent song sounded better already. Can’t wait to see my progress over time, and thank you already!
Dear Mr. Arceneaux. I'm recommending all my students to your course of study. Yours is the clearest, most effective, and accurate set of exercises I have seen online. I teach master classes in many universities and here in New York and my students are always looking for good resources. You have put together an accessible, efficacious course of study for singers of all levels. Bravo.

Good day sir... I was hit on my neck... And after that incident, my voice becomes rough and can't those notes I do normally hit before and each time I try singing high or low low, a kind of lump sensation will appear in my throat and I will get a contraction stopping me from singing high and I get easily cracked because of this incident...

I've found using this warm up along with Sinatra's method of gargling olive oil and drinking a glass of warm green tea really helps ease the tension we're trying to get rip of with the warm ups while also having the throat well lubricated for increased range!
Great video!

Dear Eric,
This has helped me not only to gain strength and control without straining my vocal chords! It has also given me the confidence to be a part of my church's worship team. That for me is the blessing of blessings in your course. May joy love abundance and peace be your companions and may Jesus always be the light that shines upon you . May God continue to bless you and your family and your children and your children's children for a thousand generations . Thank you eternally in Jesus name Amen and Amen from Sacramento California 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️
My dad came in while I was doing that "saying no while lip rolling" and he just slowly backed away 😂
lol hilarious!
VerySourLemonade LOL😂😂😂😂
VerySourLemonade 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
VerySourLemonade I feel like a horse or a pony
"Oh... I guess this isn't the right time..."
"I know it can be hard to yawn on command!" Dude,yawning is like breathing to me
Vongola Boss 😂😂😂😰
It’s easy to me
My dog looks me as if I were mad and starts barking when I do practice singing excercises
I literally yawned just reading the word yawn
Same wtf
Bruh I was doing the exercise and a old spice ad popped out saying "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" 😂😂😅
Lmao
That’s funny 😂😂
Lol
Mine was an Ad telling that the youtube videos doesn't work at teaching how to sing, and that they have the key to learn how to.
It reminded me to politicians who fight and offend the competition in order to gain audience. Disgusting. :v
😂
My ENT surgeon recommends your exercises for post operative recovery. What an eye-opener your lessons are!
Thank you so much for putting these videos out! I've been searching for the right assistance to retrain my voice, and I feel great confidence in your teaching. It's thorough, explanatory, full of good humor, and uniquely classy in your personal conduct, all of which make for a very relaxed and inviting environment. Much appreciated!
+Bonnie Brae Thank you so much.
okay wow!!! yes I felt silly for some of the vocal exercises. in fact I had to stop a couple of times and have a giggle fest. but when I was done I decided to sing on my own which is a song I've been singing since I was 12 so almost 15 years now. I've never heard my voice sound so clear and even and I didn't have to fight to reach the high notes for the first time in my life! I felt clear and in control of my own voice. these exercises were so, helpful thank you so much!
I felt the same thing, amazing isn't it? I was NOT expectING any significant changes but whoa. My vocal chords were set free.
I literally only did these things at night and a bit the next morning and already noticed an immense positive change
Wow! I have sang, not professionally, but in church and local venues and never have I felt more comfortable than after this lesson! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️❤️🙌
There are FREE singing tips, products that you can purchase, as well as info on how to take one-on-one lessons; it's all on our site, www.AApproach.com. And did I mention that there are FREE tips? ;)
Progress Report: I've been practicing all these tips for about a 7-9 days. Finally I cracked myself up thinking, here I am, another one of hundreds of thousands of viewers making silly sounding lip rolls and other funny stuff. But they say laughing is good for you, and given my vocally challenged situation, I couldn't possibly get any worse. After only a week of daily effort, and feeling I was making some progress, I went back to the studio and laid down the same track I'd recorded prior to starting the exercises.
I was shocked to find that while I had more confidence, my sound sucked even more than it did before. I was louder and steadier, but no "better". Still I persisted, and two days later I remembered another tip from another one of Eric's videos, which was to try to let your "talking voice" come through. It's not like I didn't know that already, but what's cool about Eric's tutorials is that he reminds you of the fundamentals. When I worked my talking voice into the mix, suddenly things started coming together.
Also, don't be fooled by the seeming ridiculousness of the exercises. What I found is that it's not the "lip roll" or whatever the exercise is that is the point. The point is focusing on what is taking place within your physical system when you are doing the exercise, e.g. the rate and steadiness of the airflow required to maintain the exercise; whether or not the tension of certain muscles is necessary to achieve the same effect, and separating what is happening with your vocal chords from the rest of your body.
Singing is something that I assumed should be as natural as talking, and while that's partly true, there's a lot more going on than we think, and exploring that is what Eric's tutorials will help you do. I realize that real progress is going to take me longer than a week or two. But in only 9 days, I have a new appreciation for the way my body works when using it as a musical instrument. It has given me a basic palette from which to find the right colors ( if that makes any sense ). Before this it was all accident combined with a lot of trial and error.
Hey, I'm assuming by the talking voice, he means the chest voice (that's the general terminology, at least), but I've got a problem. I can't tap into my chest voice. It's weird. I don't why, I think I got a cold a few years back and haven't been able to speak in my chest voice since then (or at least, doesn't have a very good control over it).
@@Dhruv-qw7jf actually.. Singing in your talking voice means two things..
1) Opening the vowels nd pronouncing consonants in the same way as speaking when you sing.
2)Chest voice as you said.
@J Randall Murphy
..nd this needs more likes.. Cuz this is the exact same thing happened to me ,i totally agree with you..espesially with the "theres lots of other stuff going around in singing"...cuz theres literally just a huge room for improvement for anyone at all!
Nd i cannot explain it in words better than you!
When I was doing the lip rolls and shaking my head, I felt like a horse
Girl we stallions. Bubpbpbbppbpbpbpbbpbpbbp!!! Bpbbpbpbpbp!!! Bpbpb-ok yeah it feels even more stupid typing it lmaoo
😂😂😂😂 fax tho
@@jdghost7590 wonder how you even got a way to spell it XD
😂😅
Hahahaha 😂...as for me always feeling dizzy
Day 6 of watching the 4 videos in full. Only takes roughly 20 minutes and I’ve already felt a difference in the way I sing thank you☺️
3* weeks in(give or take a couple days) and I highly recommend doing some basic stretches for 10 minutes before these exercises, it’s helped a ton! I feel AND hear a huge difference already. Some days are better than others but I’m excited about my progress so far✨
Dude, you explain in such a way that a morbid thinking pet rock like myself can be uplifted into a place of capability, encouragement and understanding. You sir, deserve to be called, sensei.
When I was practicing my dad came in my room and said"what r u doing? " I said "nothing" then he asked me " then what was that sound" I answered " I don't know, maybe it's coming from the neighbour's house" hahaha......
Ritisha Saini omg😂😂

Your 3 part video on vocal warmup is my bread and butter. Within 30 mins my voice sounds so much better and much more powerful. Thank you for sharing these tips with us
I actually kept doing those exercises along with you and at the end when you told us to sing a song then , I could recognize the difference , its so good . Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us ! Hope I will be able to perform one day and forever : )
8:50 my wife came in laughed and said " what the fuck are you doing crazy ass"

Same here. I just said (ala Robots), "My darling, that is the cry of the Deep Doo Doo Bird!" Her response was, "Keep that noise up and you will be in deep doo doo alright."
LMAO!

Ah it's amazing! Seriously though. I started seven months ago for worship at my church, and within months there was a huge difference. So grateful for these warm ups. They not only helped to strengthen my voice, but my confidence as well. Thanks Eric.

you dont need to be girl :) you got this : DD !!!!
I just say im going to the park…
You may never see this but this is the first vocal training video I've ever seen and I could notice a difference this first time. I will be saving this video and using it. If you are ever in Columbus, Ohio post it.
I'm going on 22 yrs with a 9 piece professional wedding band. And, I've watched this before every single one not long after you posted these!!! I always tell people about it. TY SO much for these wonderful exercises!!!
I was super skeptical, but after going through all this, HOLY CRAP their IS a difference in how I sound singing :O he has officially won me over to vocal practices. Omg I am super excited now :D
Wow.. I have lots of control over my voice already and have never had a vocal coach but I feel so much better and I have more control!
This tutorial helped me out a lot on my breathing technique - and for those of you who feel "stupid" doing any of this; my vocal instructor has some good advice:
"If you feel stupid, you're doing it right." [:
So Glad to See Over 16,000,000 views on my favorite warm-up video . When I first starting watching & practicing w/ Eric's video's I think it was around 8 million -which was already awesome. I do this warm-up literally every week. Thx Eric
me: doing the warm up
my stalker: “not this again” 😔✋
Bold of you to assume I don’t like your singing
@@Sevren_ 👀👀
Red Panda am I supposed to be scared- o.O

That hot me hard. I dont have kids but it put things into perspective. Hope you found the guidance you seek ❤
I apologize that this has happened to you. I pray healing and miracles over your life.Godbless Stay strong in God. If you dont know him grab a relationship with him fo tomorrow is never promised. Godbless you
You need to go to a hospital not RUclips
you're so strong.💕
holy hell i did the exercises and now my voice is better and going to highs and lows i haven't achieved before. always tensing up this will help me immensely in va work.
not a single lesson on earth has helped me more than this.
I am so amazed it actually worked.When I sing it feels natural and lighter.
It's only work while singing or in speaking generally?
Thank you so much, Eric!! I tend to lose my voice often due to acid reflux. After doing these exercises, I realized that I constantly and unknowingly hold my lower chest muscles/ diaphragm really tightly. Not only have these exercises helped with vocal range, but also my acid reflux!! I was hurting myself and didn't know it, lol. Thanks again, and I look forward to further progression :)
Him:starts talking
Me: reads comments
Also me:~ realises i missed a whole minute 😗~
I was yoning too much
Sooo me
Lmaoo relatable
THIS IS INCERDIBLE. It's the most clear and concise warm up lesson I've found and I've been searching for YEARS. THANK YOU!!
After this video I was able to sing louder than I ever could before without strain. The exercises really do help.
Vlogs 15 awesome 😊
I've been using this work out for about a month and now I'll yawn involuntarily whenever I see Eric's face.
Boxless Thinking You're like one of Ivan Pavlov's dogs. 😂 Classical conditioning instead of voice conditioning.
😂😂
Lmaooo! Funny to read this after I basically yawned immediately after seeing him for the first time
This a great response btw :)
Huh

FAVORITE vocal warm up. I can hear the difference I come back to your video year after year. Thank you so much!
hows it been after two months
Urrgh it works wooooow honestly I can hear and feel the difference in my voice. I don’t sound strangled!! This is brilliant!!!
Pmityero how long you practice?
Pmityero 😂😂😂
Do you remember at the end when he said, try a song you normally sing and maybe you'll see a difference? Before I played the video I had been struggling with a song. After the video I tried singing the same song again and I could see a big difference. Maybe he'll make a singer out of me yet :) Love, Peace and Respect.

7 years later and this training is still relevant! I am a singer who stopped singing more than 35 years ago and although my voice is there the power of it and the high notes I was able to do naturally aren’t there right now. I am sure with your trainings that in a few months that will change. A million thanks to you, I was ready to give up on trying to sing again but someone told me to find a good vocal coach online and I did...YOU!
This was my second year doing these exercises and as an upcoming musician you have really set me up for success, thank you so much🌹
You really helped me with my voice. I'm an absolute beginner and your exercises are magic lol. Didn't expect so quick improvement.
Soon as he said yawn I couldn't help yawning
Daniel Russell lol
Daniel Russell same😂

Been doing this for 3 years. Changed everything for me. Thank you brother
I tried to yawn on command, and the next thing I know, its morning.

This is my FIRST time doing this exercise and at the end I felt my throat much more open than at the beginning, and my frequent song sounded better already. Can’t wait to see my progress over time, and thank you already!
I was doing this while at work and they walk by my desk and ask if I was OK LOL....
My parents thought I was going mad making all the strange noises
Lol
