Thank you so much for your kind words! I really try my best to get the most helpful videos that I can and honor requests as much as possible. These longer videos are the result of a request from the baritones! Best! Jeff
@@JeffRolka Very kind of you, i hope more people come and hopefully they'll be able to support you on donations and help you keep on this, i'm pretty sure that if you were around here about 2008, i would be a much better singer, i used to have about 5-6 octaves, a E5 on a chest\fullvoice, and a pretty good domain on my skills, mostly self taught lessons, only studied the basics with pretty good teachers in my country (Brazil btw), but developed all of it by myself. If you have time, try to listen to a song from a brazilian band that inspired me to sing, it's called: Angra, song name is Carry on. Listen to the studio version.
Hey Jeff. Ever since I started taking testosterone for HRT my voice basically went from Cher to Bruce Springsteen in just months LOL. As my voice keeps lowering and I started to think that I'd never be able to keep up with the changes (since I've been struggling with reaching higher notes with resonance and with my head voice). I found your channel recently and now I feel more attune with my voice and you've given me hope. I started doing these exercises and it's doing wonders for my technique. I can't thank you enough. P.S: I can't stop staring at your lava lamp.
Awesome! Keep up the practice and I hope that the videos continue to help! I know how you feel about the lava lamp! I'm been staring at them for forty years and there's no sign of stopping! Jeff
Love your videos Jeff always do your videos before auditions and thanks to you my voice was warm and I got a place on the U.K. tour of LES MIS Thankyou so much !!!!!
Thanks Professor Jeff! My voice has been getting better every time I sing your vocalizes!! Thank you for your help, I’ll always be thankful. When I start earning money for my music i would definitely pay you for private classes. Until then, thank you for your free classes, and for sharing your love for singing 🎤
Heyyoooo jefff quick update I started singing practices on January as I was bored during lockdown and wanted to do something productive,I really was heavily inspired to sing and produce by the weeknd so I started singing warmups for fun, after research I stumbled upon ur videos and oh my that was the best thing happened I daily did ur vocal warm ups even though it was hard for me but I pushed and pushed and after 5 months of continuous daily practice I think am wayyyyy better than I used to be. Just wanted to thank you and share a story to motivate others that you can do it....this is just the beginning for me and a new chapter,Never gonna forget you❤️ I am just 14 but one day when I will grow up am gonna support you on ur patreon!
Greatest vocal training ever! I really love your videos! You made a realize that I am a Tenor and not a baritone! Keep up the great work, my best wishes for you and thank you for letting me grow as an artist!
i cant tell you how much i love and appreciate your videos, this one in particular i use before every single show i play.. and now ive started my 9 year old daughter using this video as well, thank you for the videos and knowledge
This is indeed the best video warm up for tenors that I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and taking the time to create such an amazing content.
Oh my Gosh! I practiced yesterday with this exercise video and practiced singing my songs a few minutes after and WOW I sang like a GOD!!! Thank you so much Jeff, you are amazing!
Wow this kicked my butt!! Like an all body workout at the gym! Amazingly put together, Jeff!! Thank you so much! You are the man! Happy belated New Year!
This whooped my butt today. I have been trying to focus on strengthening my mid to upper range in full voice without going into headvoice/falsetto. I actually made it through the whole thing today; I sometimes do Seth Riggs' warmups along with yours but today I chose to do just this because it is intense. Thank you for being so knowledgeable about the voice.
You rock Jeff Rolka! When my friends ask me how to get better at singing I tell them to get a good teacher and tell them to watch your videos too! Haha. Your videos are detailed, well planned, providing a ton of information balanced with practical application. I really appreciate it when you tediously go through the warm ups while laying small bits of helpful information. I only truly understood the purpose of vocal exercises because of your videos. Thank you for your generosity!
Love this so much, Jeff! Thank you for all of your time making these videos, contributing to the musicians’ circle around the world. I sing this warmup every Sunday to set my week up for continued practice, working on particular areas and this is just an amazing exercise. I’ve grown all across your channel from the old video days and am finally feeling confident to sing in front of others. ❤️ While I support the channel, maybe one day I’ll request a personal lesson from you. Take really good care of yourself.
Thank you so much for watching and thank you for your kind words! I am happy to hear that the channel is serving you so well! May it ever be thus! Thank you! Jeff
I manage to sing all the notes easily. Boy that octave was quite a challenge but I went through without pushing a lot. Thanks to you since I followed your technique more than 2 years ago I find it very easy now to blend my registers to the point that it just feels natural without cracking and without clicking on my break (around f#4 to g#4) I made some modifications by adding Y and G consonants on your exercises. These consonants help seal the chord closure which helps retain the sound color, but I dont recommend it right away without mastering your resonance matching technique. Thanks for the wonderful vocal journey with you. I was able to recuperate my voice from wrong execution of pop/rock technique. Your exercises also helped me in refining my countertenor technique using (alto to mezzo scales). Your exercises gave my counter tenor register a smooth sopranoish tessitura rather than my old shout/belt style. More love and power to you, Angel
Have no words to thank all the great work you have been presenting in your channel. This one is specifically challenging and amazing. Thanks one more and keep up the good work!
omfg... u have no idea how much this is helping me... u are a blessing for me man... i love your selfless work,like ppl charge money for this but u doing this for free ... and more than that i love you :)
Thank you so much! I am very glad that this is helping! That is why these are here! Thank you for being a part of the channel and thanks for your kind comment! Big love from California! Jeff
Thank you so much Jeff Rolka! Your videos are so much better than any other TH-cam lessons. The way you explain things and the way you separate the ranges as helped me so much! Thank you!
Jeff, I want to thank you for this amazing warmup/workout. It helped me so much to come out strong after the "Covid break." I have to say it..... I love you man!
Thanks for you very much, I search for this Training in net very time , and now I ma very happy to see and found your channel, you a good man and good teacher 🌷🌷🙏🙏
Quick question, Jeff, but first, thank you for all you do for singers like myself: On that second to last exercise, where you go up to the high C, I find that using a lip trill, or the ooh sound gets me up there, but not the suggested vowels. I think I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pull my mix voice that high up, or switch into head. I guess my question is, am I supposed to be able to pull mix that high up, or work with transitioning into head voice for that exercise?
@@neilstanton6776 If you want to know which notes + octave you can sing, download "gstrings" tuner app. That's how I tell what notes / range I have (it's primarily an instrument tuner but voice works just the same)!
What an amazing warm up! I completely found my voice. I used the slowing motion option when it went too fast so I could take time to find the right placement in my throat and my mask. Amazing. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Jeff! Just started practicing your 13.5 minute one. RIght now I do that and your falsetto one and then I figure I'll move up to this one in a few weeks
I had very good instrumental training in high school. It was so fun, I never thought to learn vocals until recently. I'm sorry to sound cliche, but you're awesome, man. I don't know what else to say.
I have sung "Panis Angelicus" Friday and it was fine even though I had bronchitis and I had been coughing like hell that day. The advantage of the methods of Jeff seem to that they are soft and natural and so they don't fall away suddenly when you are sick.
Hi Jeff. This is a great warmup for the holiday season. I will working on it until my next rehearsal in two weeks. I am a tenorino, so the exercise covering the secondo passaggio only covers my primo passaggio (F4). I am looking forward to working on the warmup for altos in the coming weeks. At last, wish you a good holiday season.
I have been doing these exercises for over 8 months now and I have seen a great improvement in my voice. However I don't understand why I always fatigue after doing these exercises, and I have to wait for almost two or more hours before I can sing again. Pls help.
Wow!!! 40 minutes, awesome! No one on youtube worldwide has a better channel for singers as you do, thank you very much Jeff!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really try my best to get the most helpful videos that I can and honor requests as much as possible. These longer videos are the result of a request from the baritones!

Thank you Maestro . I love your lessons .
Singing this on the drive up to thanksgiving with the family. Love you jeff, happy holidays ❤️
Talking the dialogue in unison with you too hahaha
Thank you so much for your warms ups. With Covid halting everything I haven’t sung in months These are wonderful exercises to warm up the voice again.
Good sir i am a high baritone, but it seems this warm up is still in my range and it helps me a lot ! thanks for those uploads
Range doesn’t determine vocal type, it’s tessitura which is where in your range you sound strongest/is most comfortable.
This whooped my butt today. I have been trying to focus on strengthening my mid to upper range in full voice without going into headvoice/falsetto. I actually made it through the whole thing today; I sometimes do Seth Riggs' warmups along with yours but today I chose to do just this because it is intense.
