Dear Jeff, Today i went to church and the visiting pastor said i had a beautiful blessed voice that i sang like a n angel. He was very happy and pleased with me. And my singing was great. I told him that i went to Berkley music school in Boston Massachusetts and then i went to new England conservatory in Boston Massachusetts. Both 5 years. Opera, and reading music and language arts in music to. I graduated from the schools. He said that today I sang with my soul. That's how i was taught to sing with my soul, up through my diaphragm and breathing to. Thankyou jeff your lessons are helping me quite a lot. And thankyou jesus amen hallelujah glory. I practice a lot with you Love and God bless you Susan morris from hyde park in Boston Massachusetts
Hello Jeff, This is susan morris from hyde park in Boston Massachusetts I,m singing with my worship team on Sunday. I hope I do a good job Thankyou for your videos they are wonderful. They have helped me quite a bit. Keep them coming. Love and God bless you Susan morris
Practice is paying off! Getting recognized of having a beautiful voice. (Most of the time)money is a little issue with obtaining backing tracks, but it will happen with time . I’m not gonna stop until then because it’s just part of my journey. Thank you Jeff
I love these too. Just getting back into singing after a gap of years. Trying both alto and mezzo warm-ups. The riffs are great. You feel like you're singing and forget that they are exercises.
Sure! I will, however, have to do it in all fachs. Can't let the mezzos have all the fun! :-) (I might throw in an extra for you though - just don't tell the other fachs) Best, Jeff
Hi quick question on the first part do we go into our head voice? Is just I don’t know when the switch comes. I do jump into mix voice. But I can’t any further.
In all my videos, unless they're marked specifically to be about belting, the idea is to make smooth transitions over your registration events, so yes, this would include using cricothyroid dominant singing voice (commonly called - head voice). As for tracking the switch, see if you can consistently find it in the same place on the piano while you're doing your vowel alignment exercises. That will be the way to find it in the most consistent location. Best! Jeff
Listen this is by far my most fave riffs exercise. Absolutely LOVEEEEEEE ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks Jeff , you’re so kind
I love these too. Just getting back into singing after a gap of years. Trying both alto and mezzo warm-ups. The riffs are great. You feel like you're singing and forget that they are exercises.
Beautiful drills!
Gracias !!
Hi Jeff, can you do more complex riffs and runs for mezzos? ❤️
Sure! I will, however, have to do it in all fachs. Can't let the mezzos have all the fun! :-)
(I might throw in an extra for you though - just don't tell the other fachs)
Best,
Jeff
Hello Jeff, great exercises, I love them, thank you! Very good for my voice :)
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks...
LOVE YOU
Nice! Love it!
More please!
Yes! I know I need to do more of these! So many videos...so few days!
Jeff
Love this one!
Increíble, gracias!!! ❤❤
Hey jeff! Is this a good one to do after the alto riffs? In regards to range I want to go a bit higher than the alto warmups usually go.
Absolutely!

What's the highest note that the first exercise goes up to ?
Jeff, I am a soprano and I think I am weak and have no volume at the bottom of my range. If I do mezzo exercises will that help me build that up?
Great question!!! I'm going to cover this in Questions from Comments 3 - coming out in a few weeks!
Jeff
Jeff Rolka Great minds as they say 😊
Can u do a daily warm up just for riffs
Yes!!! Thank you for the suggestion.
