    So, I am a "naturally gifted" singer, I really LOVE singing and I get a lot of compliments on my voice, but I've always been ashamed at how much I struggled with riffs/runs. This video explained it super well and just watching it and warming up once I can already hear a huge improvement. Thank you so much for your wonderful video!

    OH MY GOODNESS!!! You guys! This is starting to work!! I just sang it and it actually sounded better !
    Here's are some tips:
    I recommend getting your mixed voice first, I tried this before I could mix my voice. Didn't work.
    Every lil note that comes out of your mouth, imagine it's like a little blob of paint, sing it so that your voice gets used to how every note sounds. Than add speed, THAN smooth it out!! Imagine you're smearing all the paint together and make it smooth!
    I don't know why that last part helped me, I'm going to keep practicing! :)

    Hey Tara and team, thank you so much for your videos :)) I've been singing since .. well.. always :D , and actually always thought I'm not doing too bad. People always loved to hear me sing.. well, since I'm watching your videos I almost feel like a beginner again. There's so much more to learn, also with you I learned to STOP STRAINING MY VOICE finally after 20 years haha. Runs have always been my kryptonite, I've never really been working on in, was happy with a couple thrills, and that was it. I'm writing this before I watched the video, I already know it's gonna help me HEAPS! I've been properly practising singing since only a couple days now (like really consciously practising) and your videos opened a new world for me. THANK YOU for all your work you guys put into the videos and thanks in advance for this one !! Cheers and all the best xx

    Loved this video. Would you say that this is vocal flexibility? I am a junior high choir teacher and my students are always asking how to do things. I just always refer them to making sure that they are warmed up correctly and not pushing anything. I emulate the things they ask but during this pandemic and teaching online all the time I refer them to lots of good warm ups. This was a great way to get them doing something they want to be able to do, but also show them that singing on pitch comes first!!

    Idk how to do slow riffs/runs, I lose breath quickly. I'm very good with quick runs but very bad with slow ones :(
    I don't got good breath control too and I also lose pitch when doing runs/riffs. They also sound too connected/slurry sometimes when i'm tired.
    I tried doing this exercise buuuuut my larynx lowers at the last note of the descending and it hurts :( also at the toggle part when doing the lower one. My larynx tends to lower most of the time even when i'm not trying to reach a very low note. Must be because I got so obsessed with low notes before and kept strengthening my lower register that my larynx lowers most of the time now. It hurts after a few hours of singing and i cant sing later on the day. I take vocal rests too but the same singing process ruins it again. Now that i've learned more vocally and singing in a healthy placement, it hurts cus my larynx got used to being lowered when i was a kid.
    Any exercise for a stubborn larynx that hurts itself? Idk if I explained it perfectly but i can comment more to explain-
