So great that you go through the entire series of exercises on the tutorial so we can see what you are doing with your mouth and hear how you make the sounds. So many of the youtube coaches stop when it gets hard so that we are left to guess how the really challenging parts are supposed to sound.
So glad I found you! Joined a community chorus with an excellent director. Last chorus I was in was over 50 years ago! Currently 71 years old. Your exercises are a revelation! Love the Puffer Fish & hope to meet more of your creatures!
So glad to have you ❤️ And how wonderful that you are singing again after so long. Community Chorus' are brilliant. And I love my creatures! I have enough to form a zoo 😂🤣
Thank you so so much for your wonderful and Great warmup. Thats what I‘m looking for. I like it very much Howard you explained and showed every singing task. ❤
Hi such a nice workout! I am pretty fine with lip trills, but never ever see such lip/tongue exercise when you wanted to come down from the high nots. Could you please make a video or any comment about how to do it! That was fantastic ❤
Puppy cries are great fun 😂 Singing is all about making weird and wonderful noises to find the best resonance for the song you want to sing. It's fabulously silly!
Yes, it's a fantastic song and her voice is incredible❤️ This is a great question and there's a lot to get into, so I'm going to cover it in a future video. Watch this space!
That will be your passaggio! And great timing as I have a video on this going live in 7 minutes... The first of what I think will be many videos as this is common in a lot of singers. Just play around with vowel sounds especially the shrill and nasal eees as they can be easier❤️
Oh yeah it's very challenging! You've got me thinking though about doing a video specifically designed for lower voices... (that all voices can enjoy too obvs!) Watch this space 😎
I'm a she 🥰 and yes, I am using a lot of and then all head resonance. My natural resonance is quite high anyway plus my classical training has been head dominant. Having said that though, I did used to struggle with high notes! So it takes practise and perseverance ❤️
@@musicformy... you sing beautifully ma'am! This was super helpful, I cannot reach high notes unless I use my head voice and I thought it wouldn't count, I'm pretty new to singing, thank you for the video:))
Think of your voice as one whole voice, with chest and head resonances being just different gears. So both resonances absolutely count! Try to come onto each note from above, fall onto the notes rather than from below and reaching for them (if that makes sense?!) And just keep singing, your voice will grow ❤️
I plan to do a video on this! I've just done a head dominant one so yes, it'll be a chest dominant one next. Is there a particular song you want to sing? ❤️
Just keep practising (without pushing!) and play around with the sounds in your voice as some naturally resonate higher. The voice is pretty elastic so you will find that in time your range will grow. ❤️
Don't apologise❤️ It's Semi Occluded Vocal Tract, a bit of a buzz phrase in the singing world at the mo and one I only learnt of relatively recently (even though I'd been doing the exercises!) I've chatted about it in other vids but will do a specific vid for it soonish. Basically it's lip bubbles/trills, tongue trills (raspberries), straw work, pufferfish (puffed cheeks).. It's creates a feeling of pressure below the vocal chords without any stress or strain on them. So they're fab exercises!
Not at all! I've received messages from guys and those with lower voices. Just start the warm up the octave below (I play the lower note at the start of each exercise) or you can start on the same pitch as me and flip down when it gets too high. Unfortunately my voice is too high for me to sing lower notes, although maybe I will try in a future video... ❤️

Oh I'm glad you find it useful ❤️ I always worry it could be annoying, but I do these videos to warm my voice up too so of course want to sing along!
My beagle just joined in lol
I love this!! Let's get all the dogs singing too😂❤️
❤😊 that’s adorable 🥰
OMG 😮 I am already doing all this type of wired sound vocal exercise from my 1 day of birth 😳 and that prove me a born singer 🎉❤thanks ☺️
🥳 Keep practising and you'll get even better!!
Great teacher, great technique. Thank You!
Oh that's so lovely to hear, thank you so much❤️
You’re brilliant! Thanks for finding me😘
Thank you ❤️ And I'm glad you found me!

Thank you! Just lovely and so helpful. God bless you. 😃❤️🙏💐
You are most welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed❤️
I too love the pufferfish, I can go much higher with it, higher than the lip roll, no idea why unless it forces me to keep small and light
Thank you so much you're an answer to my prayers I look forward to working with you everyday.
So much fun; thanks so much! Mozart coloratura Arias are my favourite, and these exercises are the perfect warm-up, as well as making me happy 😊
Oh fantastic, so glad you enjoyed! ❤️And you've now given me an idea for doing a coloratura inspired warm up vid... 🎶
Wow so good exercises. Love them. Thanks
are we supposed to have some air leak when we do the puffer fish or we're supposed to hold all the air in as long as possible?
Amazing exercises, thank you very much
You are most welcome❤️ So glad you enjoyed!
bravissima ! thank you (: ♥ : )
❤️

Very nice! I have something to work up to! Literally
Fantastic! Best of luck and just keep practising ❤️
Hi such a nice workout! I am pretty fine with lip trills, but never ever see such lip/tongue exercise when you wanted to come down from the high nots. Could you please make a video or any comment about how to do it! That was fantastic ❤
Yay, so glad you enjoyed ❤️ And EXCELLENT suggestion, I shall make a video specifically on tongue trills/raspberries very soon!
@@musicformy... yes do
My neighbours are currently playing loud music so hoping to make their dogs join me when we do the puppy cry and drown it out a bit 😅
Happy I found this. Love it!!!
And I'm happy to have you here❤️ Glad you enjoyed!
Puppy cry is funny... But you lost me hahaha
Puppy cries are great fun 😂 Singing is all about making weird and wonderful noises to find the best resonance for the song you want to sing. It's fabulously silly!
Lovely so well explained
Thank you, glad you enjoyed ❤️
Thank you so much,l enjoyed it,more,coz,l want tonlearned more,thank you once again...
You are more welcome ❤️ Glad you enjoyed!
I’m an alto that was hard 😊

Yes the lip raspberries are great fun! Glad you enjoyed ❤️
You^re fantastic! Francesca Sommer-Gurri
Thank you, I love helping people sing ❤️
Great stuff!
Thanks ❤️ So pleased you enjoyed it
I am obsessed to learn “stand by your man” by Tammy Wanette . How to sing the high note “can” towards the end of the song without sounding screaming.
Yes, it's a fantastic song and her voice is incredible❤️ This is a great question and there's a lot to get into, so I'm going to cover it in a future video. Watch this space!
How do you do the tongue arpeggios??? Please teach the technique too
Thank you for this! I have explained in some but not all videos (and not in great detail) but you're right, I should explain more. So I'm on it❤️
Ave Formosissima , Carmina Burana , by Carl orff. can you to give the bes Exercises to sing this ? Thanks you. Ciao Francesca
Oh I love Carmina Burana! And you've inspired me to do a focused warm up video for it as it is soooo fun. So watch this space ❤️
Thanks. At some point I can't produce these high notes. Like a ceiling ;-( some extra advice?
That will be your passaggio! And great timing as I have a video on this going live in 7 minutes... The first of what I think will be many videos as this is common in a lot of singers. Just play around with vowel sounds especially the shrill and nasal eees as they can be easier❤️
The puppy cry if done wrong it can strain your vocal cords.
It needs lots and lots of air. And a relaxed vocal tract as it should feel really small, lazy and effortless. ❤️
খুব সুন্দর।
Thank you ❤️
Damn for a dude this is hard
Oh yeah it's very challenging! You've got me thinking though about doing a video specifically designed for lower voices... (that all voices can enjoy too obvs!) Watch this space 😎
Is she( are you* sorry!) using her(your) head voice for those high notes?
I'm a she 🥰 and yes, I am using a lot of and then all head resonance. My natural resonance is quite high anyway plus my classical training has been head dominant. Having said that though, I did used to struggle with high notes! So it takes practise and perseverance ❤️
@@musicformy... you sing beautifully ma'am! This was super helpful, I cannot reach high notes unless I use my head voice and I thought it wouldn't count, I'm pretty new to singing, thank you for the video:))
I would like to sing high notes with a chest voice, as i want to sing pop/rock music.
Think of your voice as one whole voice, with chest and head resonances being just different gears. So both resonances absolutely count! Try to come onto each note from above, fall onto the notes rather than from below and reaching for them (if that makes sense?!) And just keep singing, your voice will grow ❤️

What if we can’t reach such high notes ???
Just keep practising (without pushing!) and play around with the sounds in your voice as some naturally resonate higher. The voice is pretty elastic so you will find that in time your range will grow. ❤️
Sorry. What is SOVT?

Is this for females only?
Not at all! I've received messages from guys and those with lower voices.

Unfortunately my voice is too high for me to sing lower notes, although maybe I will try in a future video... ❤️
Lip raspberries 😢😢
Yes they're weird but you'll get there! Keep practising ❤️
How's it's done?
Does it make high pitch singing easy?...
It'll definitely help get you up there. As will other exercises (even if they don't go high as you're building the strength) Keep practising! ❤️
@@musicformy...hi how many days should I practice to get initial changes
