Hi Kathleen, do you have any warmups for singing in the speak-sing placement? I find this tricky and often feel it’s a harsh, pushed sound without much ‘space’ but suspect I’m doing it wrong!

😂

As always, your classes are pretty amazing. My vocal chords are not closing properly. I just started speech therapy

Great warmup, thanks!

❤

I put my finger on my chin so it did not move during the yar, yar, yar ones.

Love this. Do you have an exercises for a good embouchure?

Love this exercise. I almost have my top note back! Thanks Kathleen.

I love the last warm up "I KNOW!"

I love how you lie down and actually SHOW us how to breath in and out.

Any ideas on how to smooth out our break?

I heard that the lip trills are also good for engaging the lower abdominals. Please give us any information you may have on this regarding the exhalation.

These exercises do me a lot of good, especially in the high register. Some of them do my throat itchs in the low register. I'm trying to figure out why. I love them anyway, because my voice is improving in the whole.Thank you very much.

Outstanding! Thank you my teacher.

Great workout! I think this is the level that I need to work at.

Love this one.

Thank you for your videos! Every one I’ve watched it so helpful 😊

👏❤️🙏

My voice feels so free after doing this video! One of my favorites and definitely some of the best exercises. Thank you! I also just purchased your app. I love it! So much more accessible.

😂 in love! Your ending in this vídeo just crack me up ❤

Kathleen it would be good if you could do some exercises that help singers with words that are diphthong's such as they, say, stay etc.

Id like to say as a baritone with a passagio of D4#, quite low i know its a real pain, These excersies are amazing to work on it and help me not drag as much weight in chest as i ascend.

thank you! i love the agility exercises, particular fondness for the voiced fricative ones !

Great!

Just ran into this Kathleen. This was a great video. Never took singing lessons before and I'm now 74. Interestingly, my voice has gained a whole new quality over the last 1.5 years and my recordings are pleasant. However, the trade off is that my range is smaller (depending on the song I guess). I'll be watching your videos in hopes that I can make improvements. Thanks so much. Your videos are very inviting.

Thank you so much!

Good one, thanks.

Thanks for the comment and exercise regarding sounding airy and why the ng exercise is good for this. I could not work out why I sound airy. Love the ng exercise.

Love the creaky door glide.

You, Sven and Olaf will love this one. I sing meow, meow, meow, meow, meaw on 1, 3, 5, 3, 1 up and down the scale in a really ugly way to brighten my voice.

I have been practicing moving slowly from an eeee to an oooo slowly changing the vowel as I sing it on one breath and then going from oooo to eeee. Then doing it on eeee to ah then back to eeee.

best warm ups Ive found

Thank youuuu!

Warming up at 4am. With my towel to cover my mouth, afraid to wake up my neighbors😅

I really like this one! Thanks for all these great warmups! Much appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Love doing raspberries/lip trills they are great for reducing tongue tension. I sometimes practice these in my lower register to strengthen it.

hi i have a song on youtube call im here for you i wont to know is this mix voice iam singing in

I struggled a little bit with some of the later warmups a little bit due to range but lack of control, do you have any tips for getting better at riffs/runs? It just sounds all blended together to me

I'm 72, not a singer but need this kind of exercise badly with my weakening throat/voice. Can I anticipate improvement in my speaking voice if I continue this exercise?

Thank you 😊

Thank you!

Thank you Kathleen, excellent as always.!😃

Very helpful! Thank you!

I am mindful of tongue tension and practice doing 'TH' exercises singing thee, theh, thah, thoh, thoo as well as tongue trills and singing on ng.

This video is now on my rinse and repeat for required exercises :-) So good to do half steps because when asked to go down a half step I cannot usually find the note. And of course ng and lip trills are a must have.

Loved doing the exercises that nicely flow down cause sometime my breath does not support singing downward when singing songs

Yay! And thank you from the Coachella Valley!

This is so helpful! Great practice for Scat singing. Thanks so much.!

Increible, la sensillez y la fuerza que logra este ejercicio!, gracias por compartirlo con nosotros. Saludos desde Arg
