I've had Dr Dan as a personal vocal coach in the past and can 100% recommend him and his teaching method. I have gradually increased my ability to sing over the years and am getting to a point that I am satisfied with my abilities as a singer (With still, much more growth to go!), and, I attribute much of this growth to the early practice I did with Dr Dan in our one on one coaching, and the knowledge he shares online. To this day, EVERY day, I practice Dan's vocal warmup exercises. I highly recommend him as a person and as a teacher!
It's singing, so you'd think the full benefit might come from just listening to the audio But there's something being able to watch the practice that is very helpful. Especially in the lip bubbles and sirens. Many thanks for this.
Dr. Dan, I love your earthiness and straight forward style of vocal coaching. You even admit to a mistake and for me that made me an instant and lifelong fan of you, your videos and your voice lessons. Please keep up the good work and thank you so for sharing your knowledge of singing and your love of music with the rest of the world:)
Hi Dr. Dan, thank you so much for these videos. Wow! What a need not just in my life but for so many. I'm a career Evangelical missionary serving in Japan. I lead worship and use music a lot in my ministry to make Him known among an unreached people. What a blessing you are to me and so many!!
That is great. I am glad you are learning from this. I think preachers and church singers in general traditionally don't know how to practice proper care of their voices.
Hi, Iggy Popović. You may find my online singing course helpful - drdan.co/onlinesinginglessons. Feel free to check it out sometime. The first module is free to preview!
Hey Dr Dan 🙂 thanks for this excellent video..these are my favourite exercises! They do a great job warming up the voice. 15 minutes well spent- guaranteed👍👍👍
@@mariosaucedo6234 vocal warm ups are now my absolute must do before undertaking any lengthy period of singing ( before a vocal workout or a gig).. cool downs afterwards too BTW! They just gently stretch and warm up the cords, and it feels significantly easier to 'work' with a variety of songs. Helps prevent sudden strains too. As for recommendations, as Dr Dan said in this video you're best doing your own self customised warm up according to your own voice and how it feels. What he has done in this video is demonstrate how the exercises should be approached..but it is not a case of just copying what he does here..i would either download the exercises from VE 1 or ( you're lucky!!)... Checkout his pinned comment above which is his ten minutes warm ups in entirety. That'd be a great place to start! Good luck!
This is really helpful to see how a regular warm up is put together, but this would definitely be too stressful for my voice right now. I always struggle in understanding how to arrange these warm ups, so I love this video. Gonna start using it when I am healthier.
Something about this arrangement of exercises I find particularly effective. I use this video all the time. Even when my pitch is a little… you know, “how’s your mother”..? LOL.:) Thx Doc! 💥😎💥
Again thanks so much for ur videos! I've watched many of them multiple times. I'm just a beginner singing for fun. Couldnt sing a note 6 months ago now I can actually sing thru a whole song without calling in all the neighborhood cats. Lol
this helps so so much. i appreciate this video so much !!! u have a gift, it’s honestly unbelievable. just by watching this one video u have inspired me to be like u r and i really appreciate that :)!
Dr Dan--now that my voice is coming back and getting stronger, I use this video exclusively to warm up for my classes. I can't go very high, so I start at my comfortable range and go as high as I easily can, then drop back down again. But it helps so much! I hope that you will make a Cool Down video in this format, too. Right now, I just start at the end and go backwards, but it can be hard to find the right spot. A Cool down video like this would be awesome.
I know this is really bad but I've been singing for years for fun and although I don't sing strong songs I've never learned how to properly warm up my voice D:
Thank you for sharing that and admitting it. Hopefully it will encourage others to start warming up. I listen to singing mostly at church and I really don't see groups or individuals doing warm ups before getting up to perform. I don't think a lot of choir practices have proper warm-ups to start with either. I know we didn't at the little family church nor at the very large church I attended years ago
Truly Awesome lessons and love the teaching and the teacher! What I liked is that we could be loose on technicals and still be able to accomplish the goal here!! Many thanks 🙏🙏
Dear Dan , I just wanna say thank you I improved a lot since I do those exercises. Very useful and great channel . I have upcoming studio sessions and this helps . I have a massive sounding difference between the chest voice and falsetto also trying to work on that cause it sounds sometimes like 2 different people :) Keep up the great work .
I think I've already posted a similar comment here awhile ago, but it's well worth repeating. I still use this video for my warm-ups. For anyone that doesn't know Dr. Dan, I bought his Voice Essentials, CD 1 and Cd 2 about two years ago. Priced the way they are, they are a steal; well worth the money!!!
Hello Dr. Dan! Just wanted to message you again, (b/c I've commented the same sentiment below, at least two times!!!) that I find this video so very, very helpful. Too bad you weren't closer to Florida! Best Regards!
I just want to say thank you for these videos because if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to sing a lick and because of you I can at least sing a little bit and it's my ambition and my long-term goal to become a singer even though my whole family says that I can never accomplish that and will never accomplish that but because of your videos I have accomplished way more than I thought I could personally and thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Johnny Guitar. I hope I made it clear that in this instance we are simply using the tracks for vocal warm-up, but in fact, the exercises provide much more in the way of technical development.
@Dr Dan's Voice Essentials Yes, I understand. I use the CDs for both warm ups and technical development. One day I may have to change my name from Johnny Guitar the Johnny Vocalist :-)

It's been 6 months since I've started to practice all of the warm and exercises to start singing, and yes, there is an improvement! Though I can't really sing like a pro yet, but I noticed the difference in my breathing and I can finally do a short vibrato. I just practice them around minimumly 10mins a day, but if I got some free time, I do like 1 hour and done. 😂 Thank you Dr. Dan!

Greetings Dr. Dan. I'm so proud to be one of your students and you've changed my singing dramatically. I just got a very important question for you; I'll be having a VERY important Karaoke 🎤 contest next week so should I stop doing any kind'a vocal warm-ups or/and exercises until the day of the competition or should I do them everyday? And if thr answer is a YES then what would you recommend of doing everyday and for how long? i.e. 10-20 minutes? Thank you so much for your kind help🙏🌷
I would encourage you to keep using your voice in a balanced manner until the date of the competition. And be sure to warm up the voice on the day of the comp. All the best!

This literally helped me so much!! When I go to sing any of my songs my voice doesn’t hurt or have any discomfort anymore. Thank you Dr. Dan!

I'm with giftedsinger13 here. Thank you Mr. Dan!!
I’m here as the student of Dr. Dan’s student! 🤘
What's the price for it?
Cool. Just shows the magnification effect of teaching.

That is great. I am glad you are learning from this. I think preachers and church singers in general traditionally don't know how to practice proper care of their voices.
Can I do the warm up and start singing 15 or 30 minutes later?
Yes.
Wow!! This is the best vocal warm up I've ever seen on TH-cam, it works for me perfectly. I appreciate Dr. Dan
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Darvis Sonyah. Thanks for watching.
I will use this as my everyday warm up!. Thank you Dr. Dan!😇. I thought I'll not be able find tutorials like this. You are an inspiration.

Still using this every day as a warm-up. So practical, so useful!
Hey Dr Dan 🙂 thanks for this excellent video..these are my favourite exercises! They do a great job warming up the voice. 15 minutes well spent- guaranteed👍👍👍
How much have they helped you? Do you recommend me just singing along to the video? Just like he mentioned or do each one individually for 15 minutes?

You're honestly amazingly generous with your content, I definitely plan on purchasing the warm-ups when I get the funds. Thank you kindly! So much!
This is so amazing... I did this prior to my intermissions bcoz... It's difficult to sing in the morning.. I think I did great.... thanks doc.
I loved this, had me smiling while trying to practice
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Clean Clean. Thanks for watching.
Hello Dr. Dan! I watch and use this every day. I could do it by myself, but your pacing and demeanor are very good company and very much appreciated.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Raymond Spagnuolo. Thanks for watching.
Still using as a warm-up. Still shines!
The only warm-ups that work with me, without producing tension! Thank you sooo much!

This is not only gonna help my voice but also my didgeridoo playing as well. I love your approach so down to Earth! Thanks for sharing your skills.😊
Amazing, a vocal teacher who knows how to sing.
thanks for this because I have to sing Tomorrow!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Crazy range!
what is better for the vocal chords, a hot drink or a cold drink??
Sandy, the best answer is neither. For example, when drinking water, always drink tepid temperature water (room temp.).
Thanks so much Dr. D! I always wondered about this but never could find an answer. Now I know!
Room temperature
I lOVE these exercises ..have added them to my current routine! LOVING FREE 7 day program too!
Glad you like them!
I will do this later so I can prepare my voice before I compete on my contest
