    I like the new pattern you added to this warmup. It's always a little bit of a challenge at first to remember the melody and vowels associated with new ones, and I greatly enjoy that. I especially enjoy it when I feel like they unlock a new part of my voice I hadn't been able to access before. Thank you as always, Jeff!

    Jeff, I just started using your warm-ups and am wonderfully surprised at how I've progressed after not singing for a few years. As we have corresponded you know that I'm 75 and thought maybe my voice had atrophied beyond regaining some strength! I'm am thrilled with the gentle emphasis you put in the warm-ups and I'm singing like I'm 65 not 75...THANK YOU...Jim Wilson

    Hey Jeff, thanks again. I was feeling phlegmy this morning so I did my very best to stay relaxed against my reflex to muscle through the exercises. I did lip trills on the last one.

    • @nikov4543
      @nikov4543 Год назад

      Do you know how to not get phlemgy? I struggle with it every day and it's not cause I'm sick or have post nasal drip. However I do wake up every morning with my throat and mouth feeling extremely dry so I wonder if that is the reason why. Maybe I just produce extra phlegm to protect things from drying out. I've tried cough drops, tea, Vicks vapor rub and all that but to no avail. You know of anything that works for you?

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  Год назад +1

      Tenor range singing warm ups that go over the secondo passaggio generally go to the area of about a4. I would advise you, however, to try to figure this out on your own, as it's easier than it may seem and will help with your ear training as well.
      There are numerous free piano apps for mobile devices or you can try this website:
      www.musicca.com/piano
      Just so we're clear, I have no affiliation with that website.
      When you come to the note in question, just pause the video, but keep singing the note. Pluck around on the piano until you find it, and then of course, you'll know the note.
      It is important to make these associations as vocalists, so that we come to know the physical feeling of the range that notes are in.
      As for strengthening that area of your voice, that's what the exercises are for! Keep working at it!
      All the best,
      Jeff

    Wonderful warm-up, one of my favorites of yours!! Pedagogically, I’m wondering why you seem to gravitate towards [e] as your main access vowel. Thanks so much again!!!

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  2 года назад +2

      AWESOME QUESTION!!!
      Over the years I have found [e] to be narrow enough to help the vocal folds stay adducted, but easy enough to modify through the zona di passaggio and ultimately over the secondo passaggio as to help the vocalist remain adducted (closed vocal folds) so that the sound remains consistent. One might say that this helps the vocalist avoid 'slipping into falsetto' though I don't typically use that phrasing. I hope that answers your question!

    Hey Jeff. I’ve been using your warm ups for about a year, and I’ve noticed massive improvements in my technique and tone so Thank you. I’m sure you’ve answered this somewhere but I can’t find it; I am still having trouble on the “i” and “u” vowels (as is ‘bee’ and ‘boot’). I’ll take a vowel exercise and eh, ah, oh will all feel great and fine and groovy, but the same exercise with “i” and “u” feels tight, constricted and sounds yucky. Any advice on that? Thanks again for all you do

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  2 года назад

      Hello! Thanks for your. kind words and thanks for subscribing! A great question! Those narrow vowels need to be reconciled against the wider vowels. The way to do this is to take them in turn, /i/ and /u/, and put one of them in between a wider vowel. A good way to start with this is with the /e/ vowel ( as in, 'hey'). You can work on it a bit in this video,
      ruclips.net/video/vazxB-7f1Mk/видео.html
      but if /i/ and /u/ are really problematic, it would be best to isolate them.

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  2 года назад +1

      Great question. You can use these videos to warm up, but they are also constructed to pace your practice and help with overall vocal production. The sequence of vowels and exercises is constructed to maximize vowel alignment and ease of transition over the break (the secondo passaggio).

      Great question Martim! I'm all over the map. I love Thom Yorke. Phoebe Bridgers, John Moreland. Sting (Police, most albums up to Mercury Falling). Jeff Buckley, Paul McCartney. Bon Iver. Chris Martin. There's no single classical vocalist I listen to the way that I listen to pop artists. For classical, it's on a piece by piece basis and I tend to admire the work that an individual has done on a particular piece.

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  Год назад +1

      Great question! When you know those keys are coming, switch over to the lip trill for those scales, then go back to the vowels once you're descending again. Do that for a few weeks to work into the transition and then try the vowels, allowing for an increase in engagement (support) and vowel modification to facilitate the flexibility in the vocal fold. See if that helps and leave a comment!
