This is a great video, thanks. Do you have any videos addressing exercises that can help add chest to the passaggio area when the voice tends to just go straight to a cricothyroid dominant area (head voice)? Equally, when coming down from head and merging into chest, how to help adding chest without jumping down to a heavy chest dominant position. Thanks for your amazing work!
The singing over the break video is very helpful for that, I find the ng sound helps lift the soft palette and helps find the coordination from chest to head.
Use the 'NG' exercise - but make your focus on balance, rather than trying to add anything. What is typically added is additional vocal fold engagement, which cuts down on resonance, and is ultimately self defeating!
Step by step, thanks to you, I can feel myself moving through the register event smoother. Thank you for another exercise to help with this Mr. Rolka, you're a saint. I actually had a question about where this exercise would rank in difficulty when compared to the videos in the three part high singing/transitioning video series you've made?
Awesome to hear! I am happy to serve! How you sing this video makes all the difference. Most tenors and baritenors will be able to sing all the notes in this video regardless of technique. Singing it as it is intended, with balance through the zona di passaggio and over the secondo passaggio, that makes this video very difficult. Keep listening to and 'feeling' the physical experience of singing. Let that guide you through the exercises.
I think there are a few on the channel, but in reality, you could use just about any of the tenor or alto warm ups to that effect. There is a generous amount of overlap in those two fachs.
you are such an amazing vocal professor/coach!
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Awesome! Thank you as always Jeff
Without any further ado at 0:51 😉 Thanks Jeff! 🐯

U always bring me so much confidence in my voice 🫂💖
Thank you for making this tutorial. This is how I found your channel and there are a few tutorials that I want to see because I'm in my school choir!

Have you ever done a warm up for tenors and altos? In our gospel choir we have some lady tenors and (adult) male altos.

Wow- this stretched me out!!
