Thanks dude....no unnecessary chatting.....just straight away said "do this" and gave the demo. This man not only understands vocal technique, he also understands human attention spans and knows how to reach more people by not over talking. A truly great vocal coach. Again thank you so much.
@@thekaliko if you want to learn to sustain a note for long you need to develop your chestvoice, so you have core and depth and there is no air leaking through your vocal folds. Don't be afraid to sing loud, deep and with clear vowels.
Update - I had my one and only lesson with Mark back on Sept 01, 2021...After the session he said I would never have another lesson if I did what he prescribed. To this date - Jan 01,2024 this is "go to" exercise on a daily basis (5 days a week). Mark is definitely the best. I hope this video never goes away!
I remember we had a gig and i can barely talk due to hoarse voice. I asked Mark for some help. I followed his advice and it worked! This guy over here is a blessing to all singers. Thanks for sharing us your knowledge and helping us to improve more in singing. ♥️
I am Jazzsinger. This is the first time i found someone how gave instructions in a very well way, so that a voice will not be damaged by singing without warm up. Tank you very much.

I just found out that another way to give support is to let the commercials run at least 30 seconds, or let the commercials run all the way through if they are less than 30 seconds. This allows a little monetary support each time a commercial comes on. It’s not a lot of money per commercial by all means,, but it’s something,, and if each person did it anytime a commercial came on, it adds up.
Also I noticed that if I watch a commercial until the end (most commercials aren’t long), a 2nd commercial comes on right afterwards which is also very short, so that’s another way to give more support. Even better to engage with the commercials when interested.
At last a warm up that actually warms up the voice without pushing and straining and is actually good for developing a strong technique to last a lifetime. Love the mature bull sound . Thanks
This is one of the best vocal coaches I’ve seen on TH-cam, everything he’s saying in the captions is exactly what my vocal coach and my professors in my musical theatre class say, he makes it very easy to understand as well, although he doesn’t exactly explain why you need to do certain things, the things he is telling you to do are all great for vocal health and minimizing tension!
Mark thank you. I have been watching you for years. You are a master teacher because you are a master communicator. And isn't that what singing is really all about! You are the best. Blessings and best of health to you.
Thank you! I'm trying to get into content creation, but I'm not super happy where my voice is right now, so I've been looking for videos to help me sound better for when I have an audience, and this was incredibly helpful!
Oh I forgot! Another idea for a video: Learning to sing in relation to wearing ear plugs on stage (with amplified music, not acoustic) not properly hearing yourself, and how to master this and your monitor correctly etc 👍🙏
One of the best without over explaining it. I just followed along with him and didn’t even notice I was hitting all the notes without over exerting myself 👍
I'm starting off again to try and get my voice back so Mark was great and found my fave pt vocal video when I posted on his, th-cam.com/video/0or9P8-tBq8/w-d-xo.html video, for me great combo. So, my bad habit of not taking things slow (these two are enough for me and it's 3:16am and so I can't do the Humming video as I should..Mark suggests an hr. I"ve been consistent doing it for several nights for an 1/2hr - for me that's good for me and I honestly say the 1/2hr there's improvement.) I see this and think, "yeah, I want a smooth voice" as it wobbles during the other exercises, yeah yeah, I know..find out the obvious, I'm not ready for this, so the thumbs down are imo, people who like me want to jump ahead of where they are and want ::snap:: instant ready to sing smooth and their not, now there's a lesson not just for singing, apply it to the way you live your life. okay off to bed I go ~ however one spent this day of giving thanks, hope you were keeping yourself and others safe from covid-19. 💖
I can honestly vouch for this video. It really really works wonders. Just take coach's advice word for word. Follow everything he mentions on screen and I promise you'll see a difference in your voice. This is the go to video for me everyday for vocal warm-up and sometimes I do it a few times when its a "bad vocal day". Keep up the great vids! You're amazing!
What I figured out is that when you do these exercises silently as if you don't want to wake someone up in the next room, the transition from chest voice to head goes much smoother and vocal chords hurt less.
@@voicelessondotcomI didn’t see your reply. I do this 2 times a day, with other excercises, and it just keeps getting better and better. Warmest wishes and best regards for sharing your vast knowledge. I’m in Australia. Love is sent to you from around the world. :)
I love singing numbers not only does it improve my vocals but makes me think of making money with my music. You rock! Officially an SFB army candidate. Must send you an SFB custom tee!!!!!!! Thank you.......................
Favorite exercise for after my “good morning voice” .. I do one round with the piano, then another round an octave up. Absolute perfection. You sir, are a freakin genius. Bless your soul. Xoxox
You guys are giving me my some hope... was 3 octave clear tone soprano in classics and folk music, but lost the top half of my voice for several years with chronic responses since at least 2014, and chronic congestion my whole life. So down about this, feels "immasculating" as a singer (is there a word like that for women?) Nothing seems to really help, on keto and ACV apple cider vinegar/lemon juice/ginger/electrolytes/no sugar now, that helped reduce/remove drinking usually only water, still quite a lot of dairy in my keto diet - hard to do without it 😳. Humming and conscious relaxation seem a good start. Open to suggestions...I can't even sing or record my own gorgeous original songs at the moment. 😭🎶❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS VIDEO. I WONDERED FOR YEAR NOW WHETHER I COULD CHANGE MY VOICE VOICE COLOUR. this video is just whst i needed , my voice became hoase of talking loud to my poor hearing mother & yelling in argument where one tries to kill the other with a loud voice
Wow! Seriously, watched hundreds of videos on head voice, chest voice, blah, blah. They all have exercises where you can only practice on an island... without looking and sounding like a complete idiot. After being the idiot who tried them, they went nowhere and didn't improve much. Your exercises, in minutes, made the transition from low to high easy to get. It made sense immediately. Kind of stunned how quickly it made me get it. Thanks much! Well done.
So pleased to add this to my daily routine, which consists solely of your lessons. Your explanations are really helpful; another great exercise..... Thanks again for your time, expertise and generosity.:0)
When the student is ready the teacher appears or in this case reappears this is my old teacher from the '90s he used to mail me voice lessons what a blessing to be here today.
Amazing style of video, no unnecessary cuts to tell me what to do but rather small hints given for me to make minor adjustments. I am no pro but I believe that this is how singing should be taught. Subscribed.
Amazing, I needed to record an Om sound for an app I'm producing and my voice was thin, ragged and wavering. Ten minutes later, after doing this exercise I couldn't believe how smooth and full the tone became. What an excellent lesson. Thank you
Thanks dude....no unnecessary chatting.....just straight away said "do this" and gave the demo. This man not only understands vocal technique, he also understands human attention spans and knows how to reach more people by not over talking. A truly great vocal coach.
Again thank you so much.
You're welcome - and thanks for the comment!
indeed man, there is another youtuber whos 90% talk 10% exercises, here on youtube cough chris liepe
@@cocoarecords each teacher serves their purpose. Liepe does a great job explaining the benefits of exercises and philosophy behind it
True. Some talks a lot before they teach you or show you the thing. Sometimes I didn’t finish the video becasue talking is longer than the purpose😁
Talking is bad, bad, bad for your singing voice. I think that's the point he's making
"Awkward sounds are temporary" WOW, that's my new mantra... Thank you...
That's the truth!
""awkward sounds are temporary" that is what I needed to know!
awkwards sounds are temproary but greatness is forever
As i read this I looked up and thats exactly what was on screen. Have a wonderful week!

Thanks!! This is the best singing lesson on TH-cam and in my opinion. Trust me I’ve gone through hundreds of them😆!
I'm happy to help!
You are way better than the other coaches but so underrated 😢
Thanks - working on the underrated part!
Share the videos on your social media repeatedly, that helps a lot if enough people do it.
Mark is not underrated. I rate him very highly. He is tops
I think Beavis and Butt-Head helped more people discover your video and channel. Keep up the great work! 👍
Had a “scratchy” voice lately. Thankfully these exercises helped smooth it over
Glad to help!

BEST GUY ON THE INTERNET...100%
I appreciate the post!
My mom come in many times to my room when I practise this. "Stop calling me non-stop!"
She will miss it when you stop! :)
You made me laugh..hahahahah

Did ur voice change?

I pair this lesson behind the Good Morning Voice warmup; I find it makes a great part 2.
Glad you're making such good use of it Jack!
Jack Eppington I do too, and then I do Butt Kickin exercize. ( Heehee hee exercize.)
It's perfect!
Me too!
