    Dear Mr. Arceneaux. I'm recommending all my students to your course of study. Yours is the clearest, most effective, and accurate set of exercises I have seen online. I teach master classes in many universities and here in New York and my students are always looking for good resources. You have put together an accessible, efficacious course of study for singers of all levels. Bravo.

      Good day sir... I was hit on my neck... And after that incident, my voice becomes rough and can't those notes I do normally hit before and each time I try singing high or low low, a kind of lump sensation will appear in my throat and I will get a contraction stopping me from singing high and I get easily cracked because of this incident... My real texture has been lost... What has happened to my vocal cords and will I ever recover sir, is being 3months this incident happened sir... I need a reply from you and recommendation sir...

      I agree with chuck... this has been really helpful... also einstein stated trying something repeatedly and expecting different results is just plain SAD (trump impression) i struggled to be confident in my singing voice.. these awareness exercisses have been an EYEOPENER@@.

      Getting yelled at to "shut up" is all part of the magical journey that is becoming a singer. Learning to ignore them as you continue practicing is another part 😌 #TheyCanStayMad

That for me is the blessing of blessings in your course. May joy love abundance and peace be your companions and may Jesus always be the light that shines upon you . May God continue to bless you and your family and your children and your children's children for a thousand generations . Thank you eternally in Jesus name Amen and Amen from Sacramento California 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️

    I am thankful to you for sharing this priceless warmup routine for free, for making it easy to follow, for convincing me at the beginning to ignore, or rather embrace the weirdness, and for encouraging me to give it a full try. It has made such a great difference to my voice. My voice feels fuller, does not break, and the vocal fatigue I used to feel in my throat has reduced drastically. With so little effort and so much benefit, vocal warmups are pure gold in terms of return on investment. I am going to stick to this routine and learn more about vocal warmups and voice training. I can not thank you enough. Thank you Eric! 🙏

  • @Britney_StLouis

    I tried these exercises for the first time today and what I experienced afterwards had me so SHOOK. My voice, which usually sounds strained when I sing in Soprano, sounded as smooth as velvet. My throat also felt so free and open. I really wasn’t expecting this. I had no idea something so simple could have had such amazing results- and quick too! I think that I’ll challenge myself and do these for a month and then come back with an update.

    Dear Eric,
    I believed in the necessity of a warn up, but never really gave it more than about 5 minutes, and I would just use a song in itself to be my warm up. I've been attempting to learn Pray by Sam Smith, and I'll be damned- hit notes I haven't hit before. You have made a firm believer out of me and a subscriber. Thank you for approaching this with humor and humanity 💜

  • @alicejieyi3384
    @alicejieyi3384 Před 5 lety +360

    Quick summary for anyone who needs it, hope it helps!
    - Do it every day (everything)
    - Good for all genres
    1. Yawning (relax and open up the throat)
    2. Gentle cough (feel the abdominal, sides, chest, and back muscles)
    --- Light gentle lip rolls ---
    3. Light gentle lip rolls, like sigh-ing (throat stay relaxed and let the body work)
    3.1. Similar to 3 but do it while shaking your head from side to side (like you're saying no)
    4. Continue to shake your head from side to side but go from high to low note
    5. Lip roll from low to high notes (tip: tense or lift up shoulders and lip roll while you relax)
    6. Gently bent knees down (like squatting) as you lip roll from low to high note (body goes down, voice goes up)
    7. Similar to 6's motion but high to low notes (voice goes down with your body)
