By the way I can't sing I downloaded an app to test my vocal range on a bad soar throat I get E2-A7 or B7, on a good day it goes as high as G8, these apps may not be accurate though...
@@curleddoughnuts6857 Get a piano app and sing from the middle of the piano down as far as you can go. Just hold a note on the piano and sing that note. Then go down each. Mark the lowest note you can sing without your voice becoming weak and airy. Then, start again from the middle (C4) and sing along as you hit each note on the piano going up as far as you can go. See if it matches what that other app says. =)
I change it to "let's enjoy our lessons" or "let's practice our lessons" because I'm in an apartment and trying NOT to annoy my neighbors! (I can just imagine the noise complaint..."Honest officer, she even ADMITS she wants to annoy us when she sings at full volume!")
I already sing low, but after so many years of harmonizing with my favorite singers who happen to be soprano (and my friends are soprano--like, girly soprano, which is always made me and my voice feel old, lol), I feel like it's time to go back to my natural area and see what I can do with it.
I’m a 1st soprano and all my life I’ve only ever been trained in the very classical, choral sort of music that barely uses the bottom half of the treble staff. Now I’m trying to get into musical theater and it’s definitely a struggle. Thank you for these exercises!
thank you for these exercises! i'm a pre-t trans guy with a very high range, so i've been wanting to lower it some so i can play more male roles. this video has been super helpful!!
These are great. I'm a contralto, so low D was always doable for me (I can get sound all the way to A2 but it's rough). More recently I've been getting to low C consistently, but C and even B were noticeably easier for me while doing these exercises.
The last exercise is hillarious, but it sounds so good when you sing it XD Thank you for this video. Maybe you could make another one with exercises for strenghening the higher range? greetings from Poland
You guys are so awesome. I have sang my entire life and I have always struggled with not having enough power or control over my voice. I have realized that I have tension in every part of my body. I’ve started doing your exercises every day just for the last few weeks and I’ve already noticed a change. Thank you for what you do! Thank you for helping me to learn how to sing correctly and to experience freedom and enjoy singing!
No not really. As long as you aren't going in completely cold, first thing in the morning straight out of bed. A gentle warm up could be helpful like day 7 in the singing program.
It's specifically for the lowest notes to move away from the complete collapse of vocal fold closure that we hear when a note is too low to be held by the singer.
Verba Vocal Technique ahhh smart!! Thank you lol I'm a low noted female so this was a nice warm up, helped me to see if I was singing from the right spots too.
I'm auditioning for newsies next month and some of the songs are just a tiny bit out of my range for certain parts so, thanks for the help! Wish me luck :)
Hi Anna and Mark, Anna I love your teaching, I 'm a singer and I've been following you since last year. Twice or three times a week I try to make all the exercises of your weekly singing program and since I'm complying all the exercises from your great videos I can say that I'm singing better. I live in Italy and here there are great professors but I can only afford lessons with a coach once in a week just for an hour, so I tried to find something on You tube and I found you. Anna, you're the best of all. Now, let' s go to work and make these new exercises to strength the lower range, what else can I say to you guys ?, you are such a great team, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!!
This video is so good!! I'm always singing so loud and confidently by the song at the end. It's a really good self esteem booster and super helpful for technique too!!
I randomly came across this channel. I have to say for a female I do better in the low ranges. I could do that song when it was lower but once you got too high I couldn’t. I love this channel thank you for the content I took singing in school but didn’t learn much and it’s sucked. I learned more in three videos than I did a year in school.
Thank you for this! This really helped me with opening up my lower voice. It's the first video that gently allowed me to reach my notes after not singing for a long time. I've missed singing so much and this gives me hope that my gears are still ready for action with the right practice. I also love both your energies in delivery. It was friendly, calm and not intimidating at all. God bless you both, thank you. =)
Well the first excercise you start on F but say it’s an E and stop on an Eb. And the second excercise you start on Eb and claim its and E. And started on a low D. Not a low C. Nice singing tho, i have too much free time 🥰
Thank you for your videos! Since I picked uo the guitar I have develloped really bad breathing habits. Rehearsing even with a good warm up will give me the sorest throat for days. Your videos are a godsent I follow them religiously and I can see what I'm doing wrong! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I've been learning how to expand my vocal range and just building my voice in general lately and this video has been loads helpful so thank you again for making this for all of us!^
I found it helpful. I feel like I need to practise lower notes. I hit the D and C comfortably. Is it possible for you to make one with lowerer notes? Like for a male's pitch (I'm a tenor female). I really want to expand my pitch...and be able to sing extremely low notes as well as high notes.
New subscriber here. Thank you so much for this! BTW, my range and hers fall apart on the same lower note. heh Oooooh! I can already tell I'm going to love this channel!
I struggle, going high.. I can go soooo low, but getting higher is a challenge for me. Always has been. Even after lessons, in music class I was the only Contralto. My music teacher loved it, I felt singled out
"i dont think anything would be written for a woman below low c" lmaoo my friends and i are doing an all female quartet for isthma today and my first note is a D3
This helps so much bc since in a girl with a low tone I'm so used to teachers just making me sing way too high sometimes to the point of loosing my voice for the rest of the day at least😭
Hi guys!!! I love your lessons. I am not a musician but I like to sing. This year 2021 I have a challenge. I have my school chorus and I want to teach students how to sing Jingle Bells with the Harmony you are presenting in your video. Do you have a video I can play in the same tone. I NEED YOUR HELP. DECEMBER IS AROUND THE CORNER!!! PLEASE
Thanks for this! As an alto 2 it helps me prep for treble choir rehearsal. If you happen to re-do the last exercise, might I suggest replacing the lyric "annoy" with "bother"? The unnatural text stress annoys me, lol.
Can you make a video of just the piano that goes lower? I have a range down to C3 and I'm trying to go lower. (or at least strengthen those lower notes)
I'm not exactly sure what my range is but I think it's somewhere between tenor and alto. We're doing the little mermaid for our musical and I'm the pilot(a big, burly, loud guy) but I'm a 17 yo tall female whose low notes are fairly quiet. I'm pretty much able to hit all notes in the song, they're just quiet so I'm hoping this will help me strengthen those notes! I'll try to remember to report back in March when we put on the show!!
If lower notes strong, then higher notes automatically improve...is this correct??..if yes, then what iz d science behind it?.why we should practise for lower notes??.plz..mam..
You sound so cute; reminds me of whoever did vocals for Rapunzel's mother in tangled. I sing much lower than much of this video but will give a thumbs up because your channel deserves it. I'm sure this video helped a lot of others.
Thank you for watching. Here is a lovely gentle little warm up video we made that you may not have tried: th-cam.com/video/qSHL0dtapP0/w-d-xo.html
is it normal for a girl to sing low as E2 and high as A7?
By the way I can't sing I downloaded an app to test my vocal range on a bad soar throat I get E2-A7 or B7, on a good day it goes as high as G8, these apps may not be accurate though...

Definitely not accurate. There is no way you can sing that high or that low
Love the video but I gotta work on breathing and space. I still feel my throat super tight. Im no singer. Just beginning fir fun lol
I changed the part "let's annoy the neighbors" to "let's annoy the family"... And they did not enjoy it😂
I change it to "let's enjoy our lessons" or "let's practice our lessons" because I'm in an apartment and trying NOT to annoy my neighbors! (I can just imagine the noise complaint..."Honest officer, she even ADMITS she wants to annoy us when she sings at full volume!")
I'm annoying my neighbors hahahaha
YO THREE DAYS AGO I COULD NOT REACH HALFWAY OF EACH EXERCISE FOR THE HIGHER RANGED ONES. NOW I CAN DO THEM FULL. YOUR VIDEO WORKS MIRACLES!
EX 1 (mmmh aaahh): 0:24
EX 2 (Eeeee): 1:25
EX 3 (Ba's): 2:31
EX 4 (it's so low): 3:47
EX 5 (now is the time): 4:36
Thank you!!!!
@•ThisRandomWeirdo• as u should
I don't think I've ever seen a guy who looks so much like my dad when he was younger! Makes me miss him even more.
I already sing low, but after so many years of harmonizing with my favorite singers who happen to be soprano (and my friends are soprano--like, girly soprano, which is always made me and my voice feel old, lol), I feel like it's time to go back to my natural area and see what I can do with it.
Well, there is always old good "I sing with you, just two octaves lower"
Thanks from an alto!
My choir teacher put me in the alto section and I can’t reach the low notes so thank you for this video 🙏🏻
After warming up my high notes are strong but my lower range almost completely disappears :( That's why I came here
same, I can sing high c but my chest voice is weak
i have the opposite problem but just found out that i'm a contralto so..
You can sing in Disney movies. :)
THANK YOU! I am a female baritone!
I use this warm up so often that I have the intro and transitions between exercises memorised as much as the exercises themselves
You have a beautiful voice 😍
That's a kind thing to say, thank you. :)

Thank you for helping me to learn how to sing correctly and to experience freedom and enjoy singing!
Thank you for addressing the low range. One question, do these low register exercises require any particular warm-up?
No not really. As long as you aren't going in completely cold, first thing in the morning straight out of bed. A gentle warm up could be helpful like day 7 in the singing program.
@@VerbaVocal actuallynsingingnstraight out of bed (gently) is something that helped me add two whole tones to my lower range. 🙋♀️
@@IriAntler same, it may not be healthy but I’ve been able to sing much lower than I usually do.
Okay, I'm literally in bed lying down and felt an improvement - very excited to try these exercises properly tomorrow!! 😅
I am so happy that you made this video thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
You are very welcome. I hope it helps. :)
I was singing, "It's not low for me da-dahdee hmmmmm."🤣
aha sameeeee got to speak it into life
So right now I can reach an F3 consistentlyish and that’s about it so hopefully I’ll come back to this and be able to get lower 🤞🏻
Keep me updated on your progress! I want to work on expanding my lower range as well.
Thank you so much!!! Straight foward and effective!!!
Her hair!!!!! So pretty
I have problems projecting my voice and I enjoyed these exercises so much, thank you!!
we sing now is the time the BLESS all our neighbours by singing outloud!
You guys make such an charming combo !
I've never done an exercise with a vocal creak before lol what's it do actually?
It's specifically for the lowest notes to move away from the complete collapse of vocal fold closure that we hear when a note is too low to be held by the singer.

Great practice for the vagus nerve. When you get goosebumps singing low notes you know it’s working.

C3?
Great video, thank you ! I love your shiny energies !
This was so fun!
Thank u for this lesson. I learned a lot.
I'm sorry I'm freaking cracking up at the "We love a thumb! 🤣🤣🤣
Soprano (probably?) here. This has to be the toughest vocal exercise I've done, but I know it will end up being worth it. Thank you, Verba!
Perfect pitch curse: Your piano is transposed half a note down. Are you trying to trick us or was it an honest mistake? :D
BAHAHAHA
Well the first excercise you start on F but say it’s an E and stop on an Eb. And the second excercise you start on Eb and claim its and E. And started on a low D. Not a low C. Nice singing tho, i have too much free time 🥰
oh my god I thought I was going insane
Jenna Maloney haha! I know it was very confusing 👊
I don't even have perfect pitch but I thought I was loosing it or something lol
I love this. Thanks so much Anna and Mark, You guys rock.
:)
love your videos and energy guys! thank you
You are amazing🥺♥️thank you
Thank you so much for this lesson. It is fun and helpful.
beautiful video. u two got such a beautiful energy together
Really needed this. It's like you've read my mind, I'm actually trying now to work on my lower range so this came right on time. Thanks! :D
Joanna D OMG I CAN RELATE LMAO
I'm actually surprised I got some small results on the first day!! Definitely gonna sub!!

I love love love your videos! Thank you so much. Improving my voice and having so much fun with you, GREAT!
You can also mix vocal fry with a low note to give it more color
Thank you so much! I've been learning how to expand my vocal range and just building my voice in general lately and this video has been loads helpful so thank you again for making this for all of us!^
That was fun!.
Thank you very much, I loved these exercises, especially the "annoying the neighbours" one! ;)

Can you maybe do this with head voice? I have a lower voice and can't reach higher notes that easy.
Yes as you move up and feel that it's getting a little tight you can switch.
Both of u are so cute and perfect combination ❤my favorite stay blessed and healthy, lvya
