10:13 Bravo!! love that extra range workout. I've been focused in passage area since I follow your channel, and it's so important to me to practice F4, F#4 and G4 notes, in order to improve mixed voice. Thank you!
Another great warm up Jeff!! I warmed up this morning with the baritenor version , and have just warmed up with this version too, before my gig tonight. And wow what a great result as it was sooooo comfortable. Now time for a rest but a massiiiiiiive thank you to you for your continued generosity!
I've always like your warm-ups that I incorporate it on my daily vocalization. I always call it JR Warm-ups or The Rolka Warm-up (my favorite) whenever I share it to fellow choristers!
Been practicing your first video for months and now tried this and something clicked in my head and all of a sudden i learned how to feel and transition in passaggio (always thought you said "this kind of passagio😂) so thx Jeff
Hi Jeff! I got a new job as a singer and I’ve been using your videos over and over again to get mi voice warmed up, thank you so so so much 🙌 you have no idea how much I appreciate it 😊
This is now the best warm up! I can sing over the break finally without tension ❤️ I exercise a lot yes, but this on video was like a key in the last time!!! Thanks, I keep sharing!!
@brigs369 did you surprise yourself? Franco Corelli rehearsed his roles up a half or whole step so that it would seem easy " on the night" . Didn't work for my. My voice won't be tricked
Thank You very much for those exercises. I fell like the one with lip trills was better for me (the video with about 1,5 milion views). I don't know how to sing those higher parts to not ruin my voice. I guess there has to be some good lip positioning and maybe using full power of my voice, but just a bit of that power whlist doing the exercises. Have a good day ❤️
Excellent. If you have time at some point, a question: are there idiot proof ways to know some exercise is too "advanced" or difficult (i.e. causes more harm than good) when doing these? Or is everything allowed, if it feels "somewhat fine" ? I always do both baritenor and tenor exercises from you and occasionally they feel extra fatiguing or "too much work" (mostly not tho). But I usually think it's good kind of "training fatigue" as it goes away quite fast.
If this video is exceptionally tough for me compared to pretty much all of your others, what is most likely the thing need to work on? Ascending Onsets?
I have a question about breathing during vocal exercises. Leaving out exercises to develop or maintain good appoggio, do you sing each phrase or each arpeggio on its own breath or sometimes do two or more on a single inhalation - if you can without losing control of the purpose or the exercise? Always like to see your posts. I have a number of your classic videos which I do regularly because I like them and can focus on the purpose -usually vowel alignment but sometimes working my range- without worrying about the order of the notes. On the other hand, new exercises help me to focus on both hearing and doing and developing fluidity in moving from note to note. Having the notes in your range is not enough to use them in singing every song or exercise easily. Good video in my view.
Brilliant question! I will be answering you as part of QFC 57. I tend to make mountains out of mole hills, but this touches on really powerful vowel alignment practices that I'll elaborate on in the video. Great stuff!
10:12 this is what makes Jeff a cut above the other vocal teachers on TH-cam, casual Bob-ross-esque humour, love it!
💯
Love it! I used to love watching him on PBS!!!!

I accidentally listened to this video at 1.5 speed. Was wondering why Jeff sounded clipped and mad at me today. 🥹😂
Goodness! Glad you got me back to regular speed!

Awesome question! I'll be answering you in QFC 58! Thank you!

I'd have to work with you, and do some exercises to be able to say.

Hey jeff, do you give personal lessons? I think I'm using my voice incorrectly and I really need a guide. Please help me.
Absolutely! Get in touch with me via my website and we can get you on the calendar: www.jeffrolka.com/contact
this channel is a joy, and I'm happy every single time I wake up to new videos on these Mondays haunted by capitalism.
Thank you for that! Glad to be here for you!
