I am a beginner in singing. I want a video to start with. What do you advise me to learn??
Thank you so much😂
How does this help with my voice (not being sarcastic)❤
I was not expecting a sudden explosion in production value 😂😂 that was the best “jingle” ever
Hey how long have you been singing?
What a blessing ! I am starting to sing again . I stopped some 15 plus years ago and now singing for the Lord Jesus . Starting singing from scratch again !
I’m in the same boat, Marilyn!! I’m happy to hear you’re singing, too!
I wish you both all the best.
Bless you, this made by day
Something happens when your audience becomes Jesus.. You just want to belt it out and hit every note. Ive always enjoyed singing but after meeting my Savior I'm searching every avenue to become the best that i can possibly be.. Many blessings to you!
Amen! Same here, I used to be able to hit whistle notes but I have a LOT of work to do. But as long as I'm singing for Jesus, I know I'll get there.
To anyone reading this, as someone who’s been singing for most of their life, this information is extremely effective and useful.
Thanks so much for your comment!
Jesus-Christ love you my brothers and sistersss ! Come back to him ! (John 3:16) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." He died for you ! You will be saved by believing in his name, and you will not go to hell. So, accept him with all your heart, read the Bible ! Here is the good news ! ❤🥰🥰

This is THE most clear introduction to the subject I've EVER come across! THANK YOU!!!

I'm a firm believer that a talented person can only show you what they can do, a gifted person can teach you how to do it.
But only a few like you can do both.
Thank you for the great lesson.
Thanks so much for your comment brother!

Damn thats a good ass line, I'm gonna start using that.
I feel so blessed to have found your video 😊🙏🏼 I used to sing in a choir in school and church, and I miss the instructions and the practices. You’ve brought me back to feeling the spirit. I lost my Dad a year ago and I miss him very much. He was the Pastor of our church. I’ve started to practice again. You inspired me 😊🙏🏼
Practice and U get perfect...U don't need someone to tell YOU how to sing but U sure need a Guide..mind U the most comes from You
This guy didn't lie when he said to practice this everyday.I feel like Ariana each time I sing.Thank you so much!🤗
you dont PRACTICE runs......it comes from your soul. You cant TEACH runs......smh. It comes from a SOULFUL place. From your gut. NOT from a teacher.
@@cflo1023 Nice to start somewhere though!
@@jeremiedayglider1690 starts in your soul.....it's inside. Organic. Melody is more important than a run or riff. Love runs, love MELODY first. Tell the story of the song.
@@cflo1023 no we need practice. its like drawing. u cant be a pro artist with no experience or practice. stop saying stupid shit like this....
@@tymerewhite8874 did I curse you? Disrespect you? no.....smh. NEVER PRACTICE RUNS.....it comes from the GUT.....not from a PIANO. Lets stay respectful. Youre younger, they always lash out, lol. smh. RUNS come from within.....MELODY is what's important.
Pentecostal praise singer/choir director here: I love this channel and the help I receive
Literally almost started praise dancing at the song 😭
1:43 - Major Pentatonic Scale
5:58 - Minor Pentatonic Scale
7:02 - Ooh (Major PS)
7:56 - Female Ooh (Minor PS)
8:38 - Unisex (Minor PS)
12:25 - Note Separation
14:36 - Exercise #1
15:24 - Exercise #2
Some people are gifted singers. Some are gifted teachers. Few are both. You're both. I finally got singing the pentatonic scale after watching your video. Thankyou!
😂🙏🌟 The song was so unexpected - and perfect! As another vocal teacher, I am grateful for the hard work you put into this entire video. Can’t wait to try it and share with students 👏👏👏
💙🔥 thanks sis!
agreed
taylor swlft fearless
"Nothing is the same after ME" that's what I heard and I wholeheartedly agree!!! That was a bop too I was singing along :D
I have never received vocal training, just been singing to myself my whole life. Singing along with vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and actually Regina Spektor has been a HUGE aid - listening to their articulation, tone, incredible control and creativity, and at first honestly just trying to imitate it. But by imitating, I began to 'feel' the difference in my body compared to my 'normal' singing, and gradually pieced together the comprehension of using different muscles to achieve a specific result. I believe anyone can sing, or play music, create art, dance, any of these things so long as they have a desire to do it. Self expression is a skill, one that every human being deserves to learn to cultivate in every form that pleases them. THANK YOU for spreading this message and it's power!! One Voice & One LOVE
♥🕯
Beautiful words! Thank you so much for your comment!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice Thank YOU, friend, for resonating with & spreading the Love with such mastery, intensity and exuberance! (:
You’d better eeev very-wheeerrrrrrreee son!
Dude, you crushed the assignment!!!! This is BY FAR the most clear explanation of riffs and runs on the internet!!!! Seeing and hearing the meticulous breakdown of the individual notes is next level!!!! I can't tell you enough how helpful this has been. THANK YOU!!!!
I'm so glad it helped you!!
Thank you so much. It’ve been 2 years, so can i send u on instagram the home work?
I watch a lot of CZcams. I’m only 7 min in and you’re so concise and accessible, this is polished like a true educator.
Wow! I've been a vocalist for YEARS (non-professionally) and I've learned more in this 17 minute video than ever before! Thank you brother for sharing your gifts!!! God bless and keep you!
I’ve been doing runs and riffs since I was 5 years old and I still enjoyed watching this! Superb! This should have 50 mil views. 🎶✨
Same as me I've always known how to do it's just naturally happens whenever I sing.
@My Twelve Little Buttons do the assignment and follow all his trainings u will be able to nothing is impossible if u act it
BABYEE WHEN I TELL YOU I WENT BACK IN TIME TO THE GREATER MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA CITY???!!!!!
Amen!!!!
I'm just seeing this in 2023 and I LOVE IT! Can't wait to practice and share with friends who want to learn how riff's and runs are done! Thank you Paul!

This kind of charisma should be protected
Only Paul McKay can write jingles that deserve Grammys!
As someone with a degree in vocal performance and many years of singing from a stage, the flawless, speedy runs still always felt like a pipe dream to me. However, this info is pure gold, and these exercises helped me to start unlocking the note separation needed for those beautiful runs. Now I feel like I have the confidence to add another tool to the tool belt. Thank you!
I knew the pentatonic scale from guitar and I never thought about using it for vocals. I’ve never seen so many positive comments on YT before for a teacher and it’s totally well deserved! Great lesson thank you!
Mr McKay you are KILLING THIS!!! Thanks so much man. I been a pro for 20 years and just learnt so much from this one vid. Riffs and runs were never my things but … they are now I’ve seen your vids. Big new fan from London! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Paul! You took the channel to another level!!!
Thanks Robson! I know there are NEW LEVELS for you to rise to as well!! Keep rising brother!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice Paul!!! Singer/Teacher/Coach after my own heart!!! I've been following for YEARS!! YOU BETTAH!! If you don't take us up!!! And do it in love and fun?! Come on SIR!!
@@mking214 thanks Mimi! I so appreciate your support and kind words!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice I'm only 12 years old but, this is really helpful. Great technique!
I love it when vocal coaches can actually sing. Brilliant!!!
Not you taking us to church and teaching us a music lesson! 🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love this!!! 💜
I vocal coach in the studio when I produce and a qualified vocal instructor, and man, this is the best breakdown on these principles I've seen. Congrats for making it so fun to watch.
I like the approach of making pentatonic scale more systematic and easier to digest. Have been following Cheryl Porter too.. and developed a habit of doing her 10 minute exercise daily. To be extended with pentatonic runs. Thank you!
Love Cheryl Porter, she's awesome! Thanks for watching!
We’re loving Cheryl Porter’s 10 minute exercises daily here too followed by Paul’s Riffs and runs! So much fun and the clearest explanations I’ve found. Thankyou @PaulMckayONEvoice!
What about Ken Tamplin
@@jessylynch4569’m literally about to do the same! Cheryl Porter warm up 10 minute and Paul’s riff and run video. I just need to what voice I’m supposed to sing in? Chest voice head voice throat voice confuse me so much
its official- you are my favorite vocal coach on yt!!! man! the song you wrote is sooo lit!
😊
My jaw droppedddd. I just hit a run, how did you dooo thissss. I’ve been trying to sing my whole life. I love you, thank you.
Fantastic. It’s about time that I run across a creative and immersive way to have fun with a pentatonic scale with soul riffs. Thank you.
I’m super happy to see this back after the premiere! Paul, you are living up to the excellence our God portrays in all that He does. You’re creating history here. We love you🥰💖
Bless you Abby thanks so much for your prayers and support it means so much! 😇🔥
This has always been an area of singing I've avoided out of fear. Thank you for your generosity and helping me see the possibilities!
Man, the Soul Scale Song put a biiiig smile on my face. Ant then I thought: This is Sesame Street for singers! You need a muppet right next to you, dancing. So nice, so ez to learn and remember! TY
Rarely am I this impressed and excited by a CZcams video. I'll start practicing tomorrow! Thanks Paul! 😊
Dope how you broke it down with the numbers 1, 121,12321, etc, made perfect sense too. Will definitely be using that method because im still learning
I've studied and performed Jazz for years but never learned this. Always wanted to know how to do riffs and runs with consistency. I just thought my voice wasn't cable of doing it. Now I get it and will practice it daily! Thank you!!
Bravo!!!!! Excellent lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!
That sound so good, After riding all night listening to Rock n Roll on the radio, then the Gospel, I can just see the red country Alabama red dirt roads leading down to my Grandpa's plantation house farm, with the fog across the road and out in the pasture. That Gospel sound is nourish to my soul. Thank you.
This is literally the most fun instructional video I've ever watched. I was laughing, smiling and wiggling along the whole way through!
I’ve been singing my whole life, trained by many many people and never had it broken down for me like this! THANK YOU
I must tell this is the best video I've watched today. Thanks for sharing this sir
My children are homeschooled. And I want to incorporate a music course . Your videos are fun, interactive, well made, comprehensive and family friendly. My family will be adding you to the syllabus! As for myself, I too am a vocalist but have not performed in 3 years. I am rusty when singing runs. You are getting me together! Thank you
Ok you have leveled up my friend. Notification bell is on 🔥
😎🔥🙌🏾 More like this on the way!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice I like this, can we contact via email or what's app, I need to get you closer 🙏
I constantly watch singing videos and this one just popped out of nowhere… holy crap, what a breath of fresh you are my dude. Definitely want to keep learning from you. Great video, entertaining, funny, instructional.. and freaking homework? This is too awesome.
So true!
👍💓
I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English and I'm going to use your videos to practice listening and I'm very happy! 🥰 🇧🇷
I reallyyyy loved it. You are amazing!! ❤❤❤❤ ty for sharing!
Oh my gosh. This is the MOST helpful riffs and runs vid I've ever come across!!! Thank you so much. And it's so fun to have you as our vocal coach. Imma be consistently watching your vids from now on :D
I wish I could learn to sing like this. You sound amazing. My throat closes and I can’t sing 🥹. I love the control in your voice .
I’m not an expert but have been singing nearly 70 years. A lot of people sing in their throat. You have to think of voice placement, where you want the sound to come from. One form is to think of placing the sound in your sinus cavity. It takes practice like everything else. Listen for the difference in sound from the throat to the sinuses. Also, try to open your throat more. Simple vocalizing with an Ahh sound helps a lot. Also, sing relaxed. Let the throat relax. Support the air coming from your mouth with your diaphragm. Again, it takes practice. This is a place to start. Maybe there are more helpful hints on line. Try to sing in a choir (church or local choral group). The more you sing the easier it becomes. Start simple and practice daily. Just simple vocal exercises with vowel sounds really helps to strengthen your vocal chords and the muscles in your neck. Good luck.
The best video for riffs and runs I've found on CZcams. Thanks!
The most intensive explanation on CZcams and there’s even a jingle to help learn!!! Amazing, amazing!
Wow! Didn't expect that Soul scale song to be so good! "E-VER-Y-WHERE" Favorite part, lol. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
I have been using this lesson for the past 3 weeks ...and WOAHHH. I REALLY see the strengthening and progression and fluidity and separation of my riffs and runs. 💣💣💣 Thank you Paul!!
This was such an impressive presentation! No better way to learn than while laughing and having fun! Thank you!
This taught me stuff AND made me smile. You're the man! :) Thank you.
I've always loved your tone and your soulful singing. Congratulations on the growth of your channel! 😎
This is amazing! Thank you for breaking down your instruction so clearly and providing helpful practice exercises!
Thanks for the amazing riffs and runs lessons !🙏🏾
Great tips! Thank you! 😊
WOW this video is so well made and it's so helpful! THANK YOU! It's so rare to find a vocal coach like you that breaks everything down well and makes it fun! I felt like a jazz singer after watching this!
I loved it, am a total begginer and this has been great to practice to get better in hittibg the right notes. Thank you so much for uploading it. Love from Brazil
Más videos como este... me encantó
Amazing! Thank you very much.
This is by far the best advanced voice lessons ive seen on YT. Thank you 💙💙💙 may the Lord bless you more.
10:00 did it almost 70 times I'm feeling the motion in my ears really enjoyed workouts thank you, but don't know how you did it sweet vibrato which is just cherry on top 🧐
You are the absolute best teacher!! This is the first time I’ve been able to sing this long without my vocals hurting, bless your heart ❤️
Thank you Kevin Heart! you definitely ROCK!
As someone who’s been sing over 20 years in many genres, this was AMAZING. Thank you for you commitment to teaching in a wonderful way!! Definitely got a new sub! ❤️
This was a great lesson. Most vocal coaches teach in a way that doesn’t really feel like singing, but you kept it very musical and fun. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you! You made it so easy! I like it!!!❤️
Just discovered you! So excited. Thank you
This is just awesome! You are a great vocal teacher!
I love this so much! I've been good at hitting notes but going that fast has always scared me. It's like my brain doesn't have time to think of what notes i should use next, but learning the literal scale needed for that def helps. And my note separation is also decent slowly, but your explanation is helping me practice doing it faster. Also just the amount of soul in your voice and just your energy makes it really fun to sing along. You're a great teacher and I feel like you encourage a lot of confidence. Thanks a lot for this!
I know this video is 3 years old, but I'm so here for it!! This was a lot of fun. 😁 Can't wait to check out your other videos!
Thank you so much for this
I've been trying to learn singing for months and I've never found any video as helpful as this ❤️
Could listen to you educate all day! Clear and precise instructions! Entertaining, fun and I'm actually learning. This is great and thank you 😊
I didn’t realize how hard the dips in the pitches were! Omg, no wonder my runs never sounded as crispy clear! Thank you so much!!
I LOVED AND ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR VIDEO AND LEARNED A LOT!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! You are a master!!!!
Omg thank you, you made it so engaging!! I just started choir my freshman year, im going to be a sophomore now, and ive taken an interest in it. So now im trying to catch up with my other fellow peers. Thank u so much!! ❤
your speaking voice is so calming and your singing voice is so startling, but like in a good way. ❤
Wow dude. This is the first time seeing such an amazing vocal coach. You are really amazing and I have learned so much just from this video. I have already subscribed and I'm certain that I will really grow in music with you videos man. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the lesson that really helped and was fun. Blessings
I loved your breakdown of the notes. Perfect!
I truly loved the way u teach riffs n runs in it's simplest form, which makes it easier to understand..... I will definitely work on it..... Looking forward to master riffs n runs just as u👍
This video is HOT!!! (SAVED) The song is very creative. You're a BADDDDD BOY Paul McKay. I'm so glad I found you on CZcams. I'm know it was the Lord's leading. You're the key - to unlocking my vocal ability.
I wanna SANG (not sing) gotta do the work and practice. Thank you. God bless you & your family
...I love it when your babygirl sings tune your mind... so cute.
Listen man! Happy to be a part of your journey. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! 👊🏽🔥
que buen video amigo, gracias, por tanto!!
You're an amazing teacher !!!
Paul, you are a great vocalist and a great teacher. Using the pentatonic along with "back phrasing" works wonders.
This is so helpful! I was gonna put this in my history and come back to it since I wasn’t in the space to practice but your teaching style and personality is so charming I just stayed and watched the whole video. I def and subscribing.
Just found this and love it
Can’t wait to try these on my recordings!
Thank you! 🧡🧡🧡 I miss so much singing in my gospel choir since March! To sing a long with you is a perfect cure which makes me happy and keeps my voice warm! 🤗🤗🤗
Oh my gosh, thank you! I've been singing karaoke for 10 years but this is helping me get next level. 💕🦋
Wow, this is the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. Some practical things to get my singing songs better.
I love your way man and your simplicity, God bless you
Best ever video on riffs and runs! Thank you so much! You’re an awesome teacher
You’re an awesome teacher, and you have a beautiful voice.
This is brilliant!! Thank you so much. Runs and rifts have been my nemesis for years, and just this lesson alone has helped 🙏🏽🙏🏽
