    I’m glad this video exists. I’m an upper baritone, and I’ve found that the full baritone warm up gets all of my lower range, and this one gets most of my higher range. Neither one really fits best but they work together. Great video Jeff!

    Thanks Jeff, great videos! I'd like to have a video about the most common mistakes we, TH-cam learners, are likely to do while trying to exercice our voice with your videos. I mean, if we are doing things bad, the more we work out the worse we get, rather than the opposite! Thanks again!

    Thank you, Jeff! Your elegant presentation is exceptional-your subtle piano work and vocalizations feel uniquely attuned to each voice type, which is such a rare gift. I realized I was rushing to add chromatic notes toward the end but, after slowing down, I noticed the subtle structure you hinted at within the breath. It unlocked a new groove and brought insight into breath management. Whether this observation feels esoteric to me or obvious to others, it highlights the profound depth of your exercises and how they inspire meaningful development. Truly brilliant!

    Thank you so much Jeff! Here’s some feedback you probably you didn’t expect, but your videos have been supporting my voice through a gender transition! I used to be a soprano and singing is extremely important to me. When I started testosterone and my vocal cords started changing I was determined not to lose the joy of singing. Your videos have given my new voice strength!

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      There's no such thing as gender transition.
      One cannot become one's own opposite sex, end of story.
      No advance on this original problem is made by calling it "gender" instead of sex.
      There is no such gender as being one's own opposite gender.
      People who pander to your mental illness are not your friends, they are weak and don't care about you.
      The ones who care about you are the ones who will tell you the truth.

    Thanks Jeff. 66 + and have learned the harmonica quite well. In bands and open mics, having a ball. Now I have decided to try singing... I quit in my teens when my voice changed and girls and sports took over. I have gravitated to you exercises and feel improvement. So much better than hearing others mainly talk and lecture. You have the right formula for me. Thanks a bunch.

    Jeff, the baritenor warmup is amazing. I've been singing acapella four-part (SATB) harmony all my life, always tenor. BUT, I feel I've never been tenor "enough" to do justice to singing in a sustained way over the secondo passaggio. And while I do have a fairly decent lower range, I certainly can't pull off the bass part. Baritenor is the perfect solution to my lifelong quandary. Thank you for bringing the baritenor range out of the closet.

    • @JeffRolka

    @richardhuntingmusic 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks a lot for the warmup for this voice type. I haven't seen other people do warmups for baritenors so I'm really glad you did it. I wasn't quite sure if I'm a baritenor before I did this great warmup of yours but now I'm sure thanks to this video.
    When I just started singing at 14, I was told by my vocal teachers that I'm a bass baritone but it didn't feel right because my voice never cracked growing up, it just lowered in pitch from a low Tenor I think. That's when I really worked very hard on my voice and increased my range on my own. Over several years I was able to built my high range and it started fiting standard baritone range and then got higher than that and my speaking and singing voice got higher as well. That's why my voice and range became a misfit in the male voice type classification. My voice is not as high as tenor but it's higher than a baritone. It feels good to discover that there is a name for my voice type as well such as "baritenor" even though it's not official. After some researching, I realized that some people also refer to it as high baritone, lyric baritone, baritone with some tenor notes or baritone with some high notes up the sleeve or like you mentioned in your other video a tenor that didn't transition.

    Hi Jeff, I’d like some more Baritenor stuff. I’ve been working on my voice with your help for a couple of years now. I started with the gentle baritone warm up and just kept working it. My range has been increasing. Now I am carefully adding (some) of the tenor warm ups. The baritenor range may describe me. Ir maybe the “medium” voice. I’m not too hung up about bass/baritone/baritenor/tenor classifications. The only real thing I can guarantee about my voice is that it’s my voice, and I’m having fun developing it. btw, I did subscribe, like and patreon you. I’d feel stingy if I hadn’t.

    Hey Jeff, long time viewer first time commenter here. Might you consider doing a lesson based on various vocal effects that contemporary vocalists use (distortion/rasp, squeal, scream)? Many of us have only heard these sounds after they've been processed and gone through the implementation of various mic use techniques. It would be extremely helpful, to me at least, to hear what these techniques sound like before processing etc so as to get a sense of what we're shooting for when trying to replicate these sounds in our daily routines. Cheers and a happy new year to you and yours

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you Ian! I'll give it some thought, and I have some recommendations around practicing those effects, but in truth, actually using those colorations is not something that I personally practice.
      That being said, I'll give it some thought and either address in a Q&A video or do a tutorial on it.
      Best,
      Jeff

    Happy New Year! …and welcome to the Year of the Baritenor (I just made it official). This is such a beautifully constructed sequence of practices for my performance range (which has yet to go above A4), where notes below D3 can feel more spoken than sung and, frankly, are inclined to go flat. A great start to a great year, thank you!

    Hi,Jeff thank for your sharing.
    I got problems in the practice 18:20
    I found that the vowel “o” really makes tension to my throat.
    I tried lip trill first and it helps little.
    Is it possible that I sent you recording file to check where I can improve?

    I physically can't do the exercise at 22:29 😭
    I always mess up. I either mess up a vowel from having to focus on the right notes to hit, or my vocalization suddenly becomes too fast or slow, messing the whole thing up 😭

    • @JeffRolka

      Stick with it. Try switching to the lip trill until the exercise itself is comfortable, then go back and do the vowels!

    Hi Jeff, I am now about a year further along into my singing journey from my previous question I asked on your awesome Tenors Rock Vocal warmup video. 😁
    Today I bring you another n00b question from my journey. Something about the “a” vowel in particular when doing the arpeggiated patterns never quite feels right. To ask in a way that makes sense to me, should I be consciously articulating and attacking the “a” sound on each note? As it sits right now - as my ears and general musical sensibility get closer and more attuned to mind / body / sound connection - it just doesn’t have the integrity that I want.
    Hope this question isn’t too dumb so as to not connect with you. Happy for any feedback, thanks! 🙏

    • @JeffRolka
      @JeffRolka  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's a great question, but it's hard for me to be able to advise you since I don't know what you sound like. You could try swapping /a/ for /e/ and see what differences there are. Generally speaking, vocalists that have issues /a/ are 'spreading' it, for lack of a better way of putting it, and using /e/ to focus it can help. FYI - vowels shown here as /a/ are like 'father' and /e/ like 'chaos'.

    • @scottjones6016
      @scottjones6016 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@JeffRolkaahhh thanks, didn’t realize it’s actually Latin / Italian vowels. That makes sense. “E” is the culprit, whereas “a” is easier for me. If we were to align on the idea of the shape of “e” from attack through sustain to decay, it feels to me like I’m not giving it the integrity of the full shape. Almost like I’m not opening it up adequately for each note, and it feels different from other vowels in that I have to be intentional on really starting the sound on each note where’s the others seem to just happen

    Here, I found out about difficulties in determining the notes of the speaking voice. The more trained in singing the voice the harder to say what notes the speaking does?
