New warm up! The focus is on coordination of airflow and tonal onset with special dispensation for vowel alignment. Five main vowels used in singing instruction are covered as well as tons of work in the zona di passaggio ending ultimately with an endurance exercise that goes over the secondo passaggio (the break.)
Enjoy!
Dear Jeff Rolka after finding your exercises a couple of weeks ago, and doing them every day, I hope I can have a lesson with you in person some day
Love, love, love this exercise, particularly because it gives me a chance to sing low, low, low! Thanks, Jeff.
Nobody:
Me in my car as my neighbors are watching : aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAHoOooOoOoooO
Oh the tales I could tell.....
Happy Sunday Jeff!! I love Alto warm up for that higher range without going in the head voice! Thank you everyday!
This is honestly my new favourite set of warm up exercises. I’ve used for my last few gigs and it’s really effective. I love the range: super low but also over the break. I only wish there was one or two more exercises that went right through the secundo passagio. But that’s just me being nit picky. Thank you, Jeff!
Wonderful to hear, Mandy! Thank you! To be honest, as I got into tracking these I thought I ought to have done one or two more that went over the secondo passaggio, but I'll have to do that in the next set of warm up!
Thanks!!
Jeff
I think my voice had a wake up finally after a couple of months it felt like it was just the same. I did this one after your gentle and feel like a break through. Thanks Jeff 😊
Iiiiieeeeeeaaaaaooooooouuuuuu....I love that part...
This may be my new favorite one covers a lot of important areas
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Enjoy!
Jeff
I'm so glad I've discovered your channel. Finally some nice alto warm ups that really go into the low range too. Thank you, Jeff!
I hope that more people find your channel. You're truly awesome!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Jeff
This is great for a high tenor too!! Really good workout for what I do 🤟🏻 Thanks Jeff!
Excellent! Thank you for watching! You're welcome!
Jeff
Thank you dear Jeff! I love this warm up, its tough but just what my voice needed to get ready for my performance.
I always circle back to Jeff after i do the 'hmmmm, maybe this lesson from this person might quicken the process' thing , he constructs these lessons perfectly as well.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Jeff
New go-to! Thank you, this was fun, beautiful and challenging at the same time, I'll be sure to share your channel with my friends who sing!
Awesome on all accounts! Glad you have a new fav and thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! So helpful and interesting for me as a beginner.
I will continue to follow your videos .
Awesome lessons and great content God bless ❤
I love your warm ups! Thank you!
Wow.. God bless you sir
Love the low
Thanks! Enjoy!
Without any further ado at 1:05 😉 Thanks Jeff! 🐯

I did! Thank you Jeff :)
This has been so helpful to me
Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that the video is helpful! Enjoy this and the rest of the channel and thank you for watching!
Jeff
I love your patience and showing the vocal techniques for warming up ! 😘
Awsum stuff!! I love the last exercise. What chord or scale are you using? Incredibly minor and tense sounding.
GRACIAS,DESDE ARGENTINA!
Love Jeff, thanks for the help!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your regular support, Stacy! I really appreciate it!
Ha! I loved it! Hard, but different.
Excellent! What was hard?
Jeff
Jeff Rolka I think it was the exercise before the we-we-we-we, the octave trill. I just couldn't remember what vowel sounds I was making when. But I'm sure on the 2nd go-round I'll get it. Memory is important! IT WAS TONS OF FUN THO.
Ann C I’m totally with you! I see it as an octave up to a “crest” and there are five “crests” each “crest is a vowel sound and after the fifth “crest” it’s all the way back down the octave scale again. Almost like a long incline, five little humps and back down an incline again. I sort of visualize it like that, like im driving on a a cartoon through mountains or something (haha!) and if really helps!
Mandy Cummins cool; thanks. I'll try it!
Thank you. Thank you so much. 😌
Amazing ♥️🌷🙏
The eeeeeayyyyyahhhhhohhhhooooo part at around 16:20 I always have trouble getting the high notes, does this mean I should be lower than an alto or just that I only need more work on them?
Hard to say without hearing you but if you're not modifying the 'i' (from the IPA - sounds like 'eee') vowel it would be too narrow as you ascend making singing it difficult indeed!
Jeff
this is really helpful. thankyou so much in making this video! i want to ask some tips to avoid lacking of breathe and to crack voice when hitting higher notes although i can hit high notes it's just that sometimes i can't hit it right. and im frustrated about it. so faaaar this one is already save to my folder "watch it again it's worth it"
If you're inconsistent in your zona di passaggio or upper register then there are imbalances in how you're configuring you airflow and vocal fold engagement. This video will provide some practice in that, but there are plenty more in the high note technique playlist. Best, Jeff
Great!!! Thank you:)
Thanks alot. Really is helpful.
boa seleção de exercícios
I love your channel ❤ NO COMMERCIALS
Thank you! I took care of the mid rolls on this one!
Jeff
Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
this is so helpfull
You're welcome! Enjoy the channel!
Jeff
i struggle with getting these up to speed. do you have any tips for improving runs? thanks, these are my favourite warmups!
Thank you so much for watching and thank you for your kind words! There are a couple things to try! One:
ruclips.net/video/XWoJFxgeHmw/видео.html
That's a video that does a lot of the usual scale patterns slowly but increasing in speed gradually.
As for runs:

Enjoy!

@@JeffRolka thanks, these are so so helpful!
Thanks so much Jeff, these are incredible! For the eeaayyaahhohoo part at 16:20, should we be going over the break into falsetto, or is the purpose to make the chest voice more comfortable with going to that high of a note?
I always advise honoring the registration events, but it does depend on what you mean by 'falsetto' as to how I would recommend singing it. That term is unfortunately used differently amongst teachers and singers alike. Also, our goals may be different. I am always wanting to achieve voce piena in testa in my practice. If that is not your goal, then you may choose to sing these differently for perfectly legitimate reasons.
Best,
Jeff
@@JeffRolka Thanks for the response Jeff! I'm a rock singer who wants to improve my "power vocals" but in a healthy way. I think in that case, I'll try to sing chest voice all the way up as long as I don't hurt myself.
Fun warm up, however I get very little articulation at the speed you're playing :-(
Give a little thought, if I may, to a little additional engagement during those exercises. More consistent overall engagement will result in a more agile articulate sound making the tonal onsets more expedient.
Best!
Jeff
I aspire to be a better singer. Each of your videos presents many challenges. I get lost in the second to last exercise in the vowel sounds. Practicing daily 😊 thanks for the video
I could no longer hit the lowest note of this, does this mean that i am not an alto???
My videos cover nearly all of the range of a given fach, so you could still be an alto, but not have all the low notes. Also, it's normal to lose a note or two on the bottom once your voice is warmed up. As the tissues get more blood flow and get ready for action they tend to stiffen ever so slightly.
All the best! Thank you for watching!
Jeff
Hey, are we altos supposed to be singing an octave above you (and the piano)?
With the piano, sometimes an octave above me, sometimes not. I mention it when I demonstrate something down an octave. Either way, though, unison with the piano.
Best,
Jeff
What can you recommend if your voice gives out in the secundo passagio? I already have some trouble in my lower vocal break but it’s manageable with mixing and practice (probably a tension issue). When I get to the secundo passagio however, I continue singing and no sound comes out. I call myself an alto because I tend to be a belter singer, but I know that I have a potential wide range and a whistle register as I’ve reached it in warm ups with my teacher when I was very relaxed.
Based upon what you've said in your comment, you're quite likely carrying too much weight on the thyroarytenoid dominant singing voice to allow for any elogation and cricothyroid dominant singing at or above the secondo passaggio. In plain speak - you say you tend to be a belt singer - in order to do that you have to increase breath energy as well as vocal fold engagement. That will limit your overall range. Backing off and learning to allow for vocal fold elongation (cricothyroid dominant singing) will then allow you to sing over the secondo passaggio.
Best!

The higher warmups are supposed to be resonating in the mask correct?
Yes. How much varies by genre as does aperture at the larynx.
Great question/observation!
Jeff
It's hard for begginer

Ugh, my hair! So glad I've chopped it off. So divided! On the one hand, I feel like I need to model neutral facial expressions during phonations, at the same time, when I clicked the time stamp, it looked like I was going to be sick! That was me ramping up my engagement to make sure I was phonating properly.
Thank you for watching!!!
Jeff
Jeff Rolka My friend and I were using that particular warmup for her audition into a Chamber choir I’m in. But I agree that your hair does look very nice now! I did like the curls though... 😅 I’ve been using your warmups for 2 years now and I love them! Thank you for what you do because it helps the vocal community to have wonderful content to use and learn from. 💖 Love yah Jeff!
These are great, thank you, Jeff!
