The worst part about this is singing outloud because you know you can't do it. Even though you're alone, there is a slight chance of FBI agents.
LMBO yes!
Omg I thought I was the only one!
(Sam Smith voice)
🤣🤣🤣 omg I always think this! It’s always in the back of my mind, that someone is always watching 🤣🤣
let the FBI agents hear this to teach em not to spy on you again
I wish I had a room so I can practise.
My 9 year old just shouted from the other room “keep it down mom !”
Still GlamorUs hahaha 😂
Lol 😂
Oh no hhahahahahahahahaah
I must have some fat vocals then
im dead lmao
No u have thicccccccc vocals

AmaZane Channel i knew it 💕
Vin Magallano IKR?
I knew it
I'm part Filipina too!
How do you get your voice to sound good? :0) My voice is a hit and miss. Sometimes it sounds good and sometimes it doesn't.
Same for me!
Song from your diaphragm
My voice too😢
Practice
Keep practicing. Trust me. Keep doing vocal exercises and maybe watch some vocal lessons with TH-cam
Moving my hands helps me too lol
Same
Harryismyfcupcake I love your username and picture so much.
ChizSings like Mariah Carey 😂
Pervert
Same😁
pentatonic scales. Slowly. Starting on each scale degree. Record and check for accuracy. Then increase the tempo slowly until your runs are clean and accurate. Transcribe the riffs from artists that you like. Write them out in standard notation if you know how.
People with “thick vocals”, yes we would need to do more agility exercise but don’t be discouraged - Christina Aguilera & Whitney Houston are bomb with their runs
Whitney is amazing at them
bc they don't have thick vocals
The "youuuuuu.. Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddd... To. Subscribe."
I practice that everyday, lol
Me tooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ariana Does Riff and Runs with her jaw😭😭🤧💨
Cuteology Q Actually moving your jaw just helps make them more precise
Black Screen This is incorrect. Please please don’t do that. it will damage your voice. Moving your jaw while hitting the riffs & runs happens when you’re struggling to enunciate. Ariana struggles with enunciation when she’s riffing.
Angel Rose Beauty n' Tingz It’s only damaging if you jaw is tight and it’s tended instead of loose when you do it. It is not damaging if you do it correctly
Black Screen oh no not riffing and running. That’s not a problem or damaging to your voice. It’s the excessive moving of your jaw while trying to that’s damaging.
Angel Rose Beauty n' Tingz Yeah I mean it’s not damaging if you do it naturally and you don’t really notice it. I’ve moved my jaw since day one without even noticing and it seems to be fine
yes I do that hand gesture to Mariah does it the butterfly hand.
Yeah...I have the "thick" vocals that you were talking about 😐
ObservantOri hey! That's okay. I'd prefer thick vocals over thin, because it just sounds more powerful and strong if you use it right 😊
AmaZane Channel the thing is, with thick vocals, the voice is bigger, and heavier. And it's hard to manoeuvre if you're doing runs. Think about it in the big truck vs small car mentality. The big truck will have a harder time driving on a curve, while it's easier for a a small car to do so.
ObservantOri Jessica Sanchez man. That's all I gotta say :)
ObservantOri LoL 😂
I think I may have those too
Cause I love you guys so much... here's another video. Thumbs up and subscribe!
AmaZane Channel I have a question how do you sing pure because I struggel with that with my high notes
Singing pure comes with the tone. If you practice your tonation it would come off as more pure. Hope this helped. :)
AmaZane Channel thank you I love your channel❤
hello?? as what i read on the comments below ...you have a filipino blood???
great
You have the voice the talent ! The personality to be a superstar 😫

I've wanted to know how to sing riffs and runs for years. You explain things so simply, without all the musical jargon and the technical mumbo-jumbo, and that's what I like about you as a teacher. I like working with a teacher who explains things in such a way that a prat like me can understand 'em. I think I've just found my new vocal-coach. Peace and love. xxxx
Okay.. the hand thing totally helps me??? Thats so weird lmao! Thank you!
Like a conductor. Must be something to do with the human brain being far more visual/kinetic on average than audio.
You are such an amzing teacher, i've been overthinking riffs and runs so much i had to re-learn them, you taught me the base again and now i can use my new techanuques on top of this, AMA-ZANE indeed. BTW you also taught me how to sing in the whistle register which is very helpful, once again, you have saved my voice!
God I wish I was born Filipino/talented
I am XD
im filipino and im not even talented 😂
Vin Magallano yep exactly same xdd
I'm a filo-disappointed lmaooo... ;-;

I'm so happy I bumped into your channel! I did side to side on smule and realized I wasn't alone struggling with the run then you popped up on my TH-cam searches can't wait to do it again! I know it will be better. Thanks gurl! You rock! Much love from Nairobi, Kenya!
That's awesome! I'm sure you killed it on smule :)
I mean I just literally subscribed to your channel, so smart and unique ,trully thankful for your tips and tricks I can sing the most of these but with with every thing like this I can improve my singing even more,so genuinely thank you for your incredible work,you're really good!
Filipino always have good voice .
not me :')
@@thejassified just breathe through your nose or mouth. To know if you're singing in your diaphragm, you're belly should move without you forcing it to move. ;)
Charles Ordinario i’m always forcing it to move in order to sing better. If I don’t think about it I sing bad. I’m probably doing it wrong anyways...
@@thejassifiedfirst of all, relax... Don't lift your shoulder and neck. Sit straight, or lean a bit forward if you're uncomfortable. Drink tea, not coffee. Try to fake a smile/ try to smile when singing, smiling improves your voice because of the tongue's position. Be positive. You can do it! You can sing! Maybe you just haven't found your right pitch, so, keep practicing! Goodluck❣️ :)
nah bro
You've just helped me get my vocals on riffes literally right now thank u so much 🙏
2:44 that’s me now. Lmao.
Thanks for the tips!! The “circling around” context is really helpful 😅
It is a riff exercise I do almost everyday to keep my agility fast 😍
Jazmine Sullivan is a good example of someone “Thick voice” who can sing vocal runs for days. Look her up she’s amazing!
Absolutely love her.
In Love With Another Man is one of my favs. She’s phenomenal.
This video has helped me more than anything. Thank you :’)
her: hooo ooo ooo oo

Same XD HAHAHHAHA mamamatay na ako kakakanta di ko pa napeperfect HAHAHHAHAHAH
I've been trying to learn how to do riffs and runs for years. I have admittedly never been very serious about it but I do frequently listen very intently to singers who can and I try to mimic them. I quickly learned that hearing your own voice through your head is often very misleading. So I make it a point of recording myself so that there is no doubt about my progress.
I've only successfully done a series of runs once in my whole life. It was many years ago. I was singing along to "Vision of Love" and I was busy doing something on the computer. I recall being very focused on what I was doing but was also feeling very vocally strong that day. The final run came and after I did it, I just grabbed my throat with both hands because it felt WEIRD. I never recorded myself back then but I had just happened to be testing a new webcam and was recording when I did that run. I played it back expecting to hear something that sounded like a dying cat and it sounded as amazing as it felt. Best way to describe the feeling is your throat becomes like a slinky and I literally felt each note and step in my throat. The most satisfying feeling ever and I nailed it. I sounded so amazing, I started crying, lol.
I suddenly got this awful feeling...OK so I nailed it but how? I had NO IDEA how I achieved that. None. It was literally by accident. But one thing I took from that is I obviously had to be RELAXED with pretty much zero tension in my throat in order to achieve that again. I relaxed enough to push out one more successful run. I haven't been able to do another since.
I'm naturally a nervous type. I'm always very tense even while relaxed. it's just my personality, I guess. People like me don't do well in riffs and runs. Your throat has to be loose so the notes flow effortlessly in that satisfying scale manner.
The interesting thing is I have a very great vibrato. I don't recall the first time I knew to vibrate. I just have always been able to. It just always came naturally. Vibrato is also highly dependent on relaxation of the throat and I'm able to produce highly defined and powerful, Broadway-caliber vibrato on demand. If you ask me what my technique is, I have no idea. That's the weird thing about this...you can't really teach someone if you know how to and you can't really learn it either unless you somehow are able to mentally navigate away from bad habits and things that come naturally to you like getting tense while singing that prevent successful runs.
The lesson here is that runs are very similar to vibrato in that it's something that just comes naturally but it's not an ability we're born with. Nobody is born with the ability to do riffs and runs or to vibrate. Those vocal abilities are the direct result of inspiration from a young age when our brains are still developing. I firmly believe my ability to effortlessly produce quality vibrato is the direct result of having been obsessed with Broadway musicals as a kid and my developing brain absorbed all of that and shaped and molded by singing at an early age.
Had my music of choice been Mariah Carey or Whitney instead of Broadway, I'd probably be doing runs all over the place right now that would put Ariana Grande to shame, lol.
I'm not giving up though. I choose to believe an old dog can learn new tricks. =)
Broo. What you said resonates so much with me. Im also a nervous person, and I worry way too much about everything. It gets in the freaking way to sing. I know what you meant when you described how you feel when you nailed it. You feel every step of the flow of wind in your throat or whatever. Like it’s an acute experience. It’s amazing.
My runs are getting a lot better recently as Im getting to the bottom of it mainly the crucial thing of staying RELAXED and stretch that breath in your throat as long as you can. I also learned a what I can actually do with my voice and it’s my dream to have it ‘on demand’ or to be able to maintain and improve infinitely but I’ve a huge barrier in terms of keeping my throat and general wellbeing healthy. I also started so late in singing (20yo) I can only imagine what control I’d have if I started way earlier like most of famous singers. Guess we cant looked back and take strides in the time and pacing that we have =)
I find yours easy to follow than other vocal coaches I ran into youtube. Thanks for your tips and techniques, it really helps. I now have my whistle---though I still need to control it a little bit more and try to go on a higher note. I also want to practice this riffs and runs 'cause it's kinda hard for me.
☺️❤️
I love your tutorials it helps meee ❤️ and I can do the whistle notes now thank youuu ❤️
You actually explained it perfectly thank you this actually helped a lot💕💕💕
Thank you so so much for explaining that thinner chords produce faster runs. I always felt like I sucked because I couldn’t do them faster but what you said makes me not feel that way anymore ❣️💕❣️
Me too I can’t do them fast all the time
Sometimes it’s slower
i did that finger thing and it already sounds better lmao thank u so much.
Your video was a life saver!! Anyone reading this, this video is legit it helps so much!! Thank you so much 💕💕
😇😇❤️
Thank you so much, I like your personality ❤

Thank you for this
Thank u so much I am so great ful that u do TH-cam u just got your self a new subscriber
So happy it helped!
Omg! I LOVE YOU! So here's the story I saw that thing you were doing with you hands and I did it, AND IT WORK! LOVE U SO MUCH
LOVE YOU TOO!! Cx I'm glad it helped
This really helps thanks
Can you do a video on upscale riffs? I've found that riffs going down the scale have been easy for me but not the other way around. Thanks and awesome video Zane :3 have a great day!
same for me
2:35 yass and luv that you mentioned tori!
thank you so much
Great tips!
i've been coming back to your video for months now and i still cant get it as good xx
but it does help a lot more with the hand movements xx
am new to your channel but am learning alot and it helps me alot too thanl you prety😍😍
Great teacher!👍🎤🎼
OMG the hand thing helps so much
thnx so much beautiful it works with me love u
I'm so happy I found your channel omg
Can I just express, that as soon as I started doing that finger thing you talked about within the first ten seconds of the video, I tried it immediately thinking "This is NOT going to help me", and after I tried it.... Well... I can literally do runs now, and I've never been able to even pull them off in the slightest, they just came out as weird shaky, flat notes. Thank you so much, bless your wavy fingers.
Zane Rima.....much love I gat for you 😘😘😘
Love you more
hi❤ can you show us how to warm up to like sing lower and than higher i don't if you understand what i mean cause i don't even understand myself but i hope you have the idea😂😂❤ BTW I LOVE YOU
this is, to me, a butterfly movement- as a coloratura (pop) soprano myself, I have a natural light, flexibel, aetherial and agile voice- and intuitively, I also do these movements- helps to stay light...accuracy has ever to be trained, cause the subnotes can often be unprecise- to sing note by note
Can you make a video about riffs and runs using whistle tone? its hard for me to control my whistle tone 🙁
Btw stay slaying 😘
happy birthday Zane!! 💓💓
ChizSings thank you 💜
When I did the circle thing and it worked I was like 🤭
nice voice, thanks for the explain, your video es very interesting, greetings from Ecuador.
What do you mean by its improper to do riffs and runs with your jaw ?
It's probably because you can't really on the jaw for the runs. If you had a tense jaw because of nerves, singing runs with your jaw will affect it, you know what I mean?
Most people who do riffs and runs people strain with jaw tension like one example Ariana grande she does a lot of riffs and runs but when she does them it causes her to have jaw/tongue tension when she sings it sounds more like a muffled sound. I'm not really sure how it's caused. I just know it is improper technique hope this was helpful(:
Does Camila Cabello does riffs and runs with her jaw too?
Katrina Kayyye Temario yeah
Tension in your jaw won’t allow for your breath to move freely, which is what you need to sing runs easily 😄
I don't get why this video hasn't gotten that much success after all this time, it was really helpful
Subscribe done, i learned to whistle from you thanks
beautiful
LOVE YOU😍👌👌🎶👏👏
Yup, I knew what you mean by thick vocals I have the same thing when I hear people do runs very fast I’m like What?!?

I don’t have thick vocals or thin so I don’t sound good trying to make my voice powerful and I don’t sound good TRYING to do runs (which I can’t do by the way)
Anyone with me here? I just don’t sound good at all
Hi zane can you show us how to do the vocal breaks pls
omg that hand movement worked
I never used to have riffs in my voice but then it suddenly came through. I don’t know how but I watched a few videos. Now when I sing I can’t not do riffs
4:43, i can hear Ariana Grande's voice😄😄😄. I really love her💕
Me doing it "wow its sounding good" but realising your voice is playing in the background 🤣🤣
awweee you are so cute and I love your voice *subscribed*
