This gentle singing warm up is appropriate for those getting an early, gentle start to their singing day. If you've had some time off or have been sick this may also be helpful in getting your voice back in shape. For new vocalists or vocalists new to singing training, the vowel exercises on alignment can be particularly helpful!
Enjoy!
These are the least toxic comments in all the interwebs, my thanks good people

I do this everyday when I wake up. I have noticed a huge improvement in my pitch control and tone. Jeff has the best Bass-Baritone exercises on the internet. Thank you Jeff Rolka!
Fantastic!! Thank you for watching! Thank you for singing with me!
Jeff
Agreed
On God
YesJulu. Jeff's exercise here really helped develop my lower baritone range. Jeff's great a great vocal teacher. Wish I lived nearer to him.
2:50 that smile at the thought "Y'all still keeping up?"
The most important concept is "comfort". If you can sing comfortably between the low F and the f two octaves higher, you are a low bass-baritone, also called a basso cantante. Plenty of Verdi and other Italian basso parts for this Fach. Some basso singers, like Boris Christoff, have even sang Sarastro and Wotan. Such bassi can even sing up to an a.
The higher bass-baritone can sing like a dramatic baritone, dark and powerful. Power and staying power in the upper register is typical of such baritones.
So let comfort, tessitura and timbre (klangfarbe) decide. This you have to find out yourself. The extreme tones, low or high, do not show that. Start your warm up with bocca chiusa, closed mouth, exercises. Don't bite your teeth. Loose mouth. Small round tone to begin with.
Good luck.
So you mean between f2 and f4
My tessitura is Eb2-E3
I sing comfortably in the 2nd octave. I can hit F4 as well, but it's a bit harder. I believe with train and practice, I'll get there.
Vocal range does not qualify one as a basso cantante. There are plenty of low basses who are bassi cantanti. The defining characteristic of the basso cantante voice type is high tessitura, which is a quality more typical of higher voices such as tenors or sopranos. If you are a bass and have unusual facility in your upper register -- if you can easily sing songs like "Cantique Noel" or "The Star Spangled Banner" in a mid-voice key and sound good doing it -- you may be a basso cantante. The average bass-baritone is not a basso cantante. The term refers to relative tessitura, not range. True bassi cantanti are quite rare. They typically have vocal folds that are very long but not that thick.
It is true that each bass baritone has its comfort, we must sing in our comfort. In my case, I feel very comfortable between a D2 and C4, and I feel more comfortable in low notes like C2 than in C4, and I usually sing in a more comfortable area like C2 and A3 which would be very pleasant for me. My voice has a baritone tone and a strong bass, which is why I think I am a low baritone bass.
is so hard to find material about bass baritone! thank you so much! keep doing material for this range!
Will do! Thank you for watching!
Jeff
D2/Eb2 crew reporting in

Jeff
yessssss me!!!
Been developing my lower range as a Dramatic Tenor for years now I can reach C#2 but It sounds like Avi Kaplan burped
A0 crew reporting in lmao 😂 video not low enough!
+Shane Echuveria no cheating using vocal fry!
I love hearing Jeff say "don't do jumping jacks if you have any, you know, issues" every morning XD Thanks for the daily warm up! So helpful. I'm 3 and a half months into my singing journey and seeing fantastic results. Thank you!
When i first started I could only sing as low as a F2 or E2. Now i can sing as low as a D2 and on a good day i can sing as low as a C2. Thanks for this exercise Jeff I'm glad my bass voice is finally improving
Damn you dropped a whole 5th! Does it feel a lot more comfortable to speak as well now that you can go lower?
Wow wish I could increase my lower range but can’t….six years ago I was told I’m a low bass and was able to sing an Eb2 on demand with breath support; however i couldn’t sing any lower…. now that I’ve been working on my upper range and mix voice I lost that note and can only sing it in the morning or if I’m sick
@@Rednaxela137 my lowest note is a b1 and my highest is a f4 but I can hit higher notes in head voice up to a g5 but my headvoice comes and goes lmao
@@Rednaxela137If you could before then you can now! Your vocal cords only get thicker when you grow up because of testosterone, and also your larynx plays a big role on it. It's typical to lost your high notes, but don't give up! Probably your range changed so your body needs to adapt to your new range now
my lowest used to be c2, but i managed to get it to A1
Best vocal coach ever
I try my best!
Jeff
Thanks for your help with us bass baritone singers .we now have Chris Young and Josh Turner to add to our lists of greats
Jeff Roka you are a phenomenal vocal coach.
I HIT C2 WITH COMFORT LIKE WHAT!? I WASN'T ABLE TO DO THAT BEFORE!
TheSleepyWaterBottle how low this exercise goes? Lol i wanna know cause i made all the exercise comfortably
Niranjan Rajesh WHAT? I can't believe it!!!!! I was only able to hit D#2 straining, and this exercise made me get lower than i thought i could...
Niranjan Rajesh nop, i actually noticed there's not fry
maybe you did this exercise with your morning voice?
I usually hit D2 but this time a full C2 it's amazing.
Amazing job and amazing technical parts to warm up! Excellent!
These warmups are excellent, thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this great video! I'm going to do this every day.
I found this useful for a light warm up before recording a song or scale for my choir class. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic, I love the pacing. Thank you!!!🤘♥️
One of my go to warm ups, this channel is great!
truly appreciate the effort in putting these things out and making them available. You have made me a better singer and I thank you:-)
"Don't do jumping jacks if you have any...you know, issues." Haha. Solid advice!
I think my floor just crashed... XD
OMG Jeff you have so much! Thank you for these posts and your dedication to helping those of us who wish to make ourselves better. Ignore toxic comments as their discontent is obviously due to jealousy and your following is proof of it! Thank you!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Jeff Roka you are a phenomenal You Tube vocal coach. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I'm playing Javert in Les Mis and this is a lifesaver!
Thanks immensely Jeff for your didactic singing pedagogy.
All you guys with these half octave voice drops going on are lucky. I’ve been struggling to get below E2 for over a year
Might start lucky. I'm ten years now missing the A1-C2 I had when I was 18-19.
You aren't a bass-bari then
Great exercises for getting back in shape after almost two years off from covid! Thanks!
I love your enthusiasm and energy in every one of your videos
Hey, I'm just another dan of Jeff's videos -- but had to say you have the BEST user name :)
just blasted my first D2 in forte and my first E2 in fortissimo
thanks a lot, mr rolka
I'm really sad right now.
If I sing or hum at all for any period of time, I get acid reflux/heartburn/throat burn. But I need this in my life! IT HURTS!!
Thanks for your videos Mr. Jeff. I got few singing lessons few years ago. Now I learn playing piano and thinking about return learn playing recorder. Your singing videos/lessons helps when I want singing sometimes as hobby(I like[maby even love] singing but more love playing on music instruments) and your videos helps when I am tired of play piano and want take brake from it and singing as hobby.
I was dramatic baritone so baritone with super low peaches. Now I am finally bass-baritone.
Have a good day for you Mr., other commentators and readers.
Thank you for this gentle warm-up, your positive energy is what makes your video different than others
You are so welcome
Very much appreciated this warm-up exercise. Thank you. I've sent ther link on to my choir director.
As a bass baritone, this is by far the best warmup that I have ever found. Thanks so much for sharing
x2
Thank you so much, this has helped me a ton!
Hey Jeff! This is an excellent video. This is what I was looking for. Thanks for including those low notes. It is a really good warm up, specially for a bass like me. Greetings from Colombia!
Hello from California!! Thank you for watching and I'm really glad you're enjoying the video! Yes! About six months ago I started including additional low notes to cover bass-baritone range in the baritone videos!
Enjoy!
Jeff
I absolutely love your channel and the way you do these exercises.
Wonderful! Thank you for that!
Jeff
thank you a lot!! i could kinda sorta get down to the last C2 using this exercise, ive only ever barely gotten a D2
Thank you thank you thank you! I love and need this so much.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and enjoy the channel! There's a couple other gentle warm ups out there too, just fyi!
Jeff
Hey man, I've only recently stumbled upon your videos,and I'm really liking them!
I never had any vocal training, and normally I would only get down to E2. But with your help, i'm already starting to get even lower, and hitting that Eflat or even the D! Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to let me know about your progress. Please keep me in the loop! Thank you for watching and enjoy the channel!
Jeff
This is wonderful when my voice is down and tired and I want start going gently. Thank you so much for this upload.
You're so welcome!
i love how low you went in these, usually my lowest notes are not covered w teachers online
Thanks, Jeff. I am going to keep trying to hook into my voice. Low baritone. Pianist all my life. Professional pianist abd French hornist for many years. Voice is the greatest 'instrument'.
This was SOO good to my voice, starting this way after a cold. I won't be the last time this video will help me out! Thank You, Jeff Rolka, best wishes from Copenhagen, Denmark, Peter
Excellent! You're welcome! Best wishes from California!
Jeff
recovering from a cold, having a lot of fun and learning with this video . thanks a lot! subscribed, yeah!
Thank you so much! Feel better and take your time with your recovery!
Jeff
Thank you Jeff!
I've been practicing with you since summer but in the past few weeks I have really gotten consistent and I can finally say i got the low start almost effortlessly with great resonance :D (even on A-->O where I usually have the most trouble) Thank you jeff!!!
Fantastic! Keep it up!
Jeff
Thanks for putting this up, Jeff! I've been waiting a couple months to have it, so that I can train my vocal fry like I did with my falsetto. :)
You're welcome! I'm going to start extending the baritone videos down into the bass range as a general rule!
Jeff
Man you are the best. Respect and thanks
I admire everything about you, master !
Tanks for this gift!!! 🙏🏽
thanks, Jeff
Thanks for existing.
Thanks Jeff. Gracias!
OMG im using this warm up everyday and i can hit B1 on 10.00am, big thanks jeff :D
Sama bro btw saya juga bass-baritone.cheers bro! ✌
Favorite way to start my day...
Awesome video, thank you.
I find that the higher notes used in this exercise were very comfortable for me, but the lower notes gave me a hard time.
I could reach the right pitch relatively easily, but I had difficulty getting enough air behind the lower notes to project properly.
Thanks from a basso profondo
Daniel Martinez please teach me your ways. Honestly tho, anything helps.
Your channel is blessed
"This rules"; large...what a gift ... Thanks!
I'm about to go on AGT with Voices Of Our City Choir. These lessens are helping tremendously! Thank you Jeff Rolka!!
Ayyye
Congrats, Anthony! I think Andy (your VOOC director and my voice teacher) might have introduced both of us to Jeff's helpful warmups!
Thank you, thank you very much indeed!
My friend. I started singing back in october, i learned i was a bass and learned some bass techniques like subharmonics and ingressive phonation. I absolutley loved singing low and, high sometimes. But i've had vocal problems like Chronic laryngitis and vocal damage from years of infections my entire life. So a couple months after i started singing i got sick and got laryngitis without knowing and continued singing. I seriously did not know i was sick and because i was singing while sick i got vocal nodules, i havent been able to speak for long periods of time or speak loudly since febuary. And now that i can safely Speak i can FINALLY do the warmups in this video to get my strength and comfort back. I've already noticed some improvement in my control and stamina, so from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much, You will forever be in my heart as the one who helped me continue doing something that i loved.
Amazing! Keep going! Glad that the videos are helping!
Jeff
THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU.
you are the best! thank you very much
This is fantastic!
Good morning from Stuttgart! Just checking out this mellow exercise...
Hello Stuttgart! Thanks for watching!
Jeff
Thanks for including some low note exercises, Jeff! Of course, I couldn't get as low as you went (I think the lowest I can comfortably sing is around F#2), but it's nice to work the lower register.
Hey Jason! So nice to hear from you! I put some bass range notes in there because I had a few requests. Future baritone warm ups will include them to a certain degree; just remember to take a short break when it goes too low!
Jeff
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Thank You!
Great video!!
Thanks man, much appreciated!
I understand this better than before. Listening to the backing track guys across the street right now. They haven't the foggiest. Humility inspres. I feel connected to historical singers. Canada has no competition.
Hey, Jeff. For the past few months, I've been listening to your link on Spotify. I'm coming from a trach. cord for 2-4 months to deal with a car crash which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Shit happens, yes. The cord cut off my vocal tones and I have grown into a commentator on the radio, a speaker in a few other categories, and a singer as well (hah, who doesn't love a good belt eh?)! I follow your bass, baritone, and tenor lessons and I'm really noticing alot of gains from these vids and your lessons, thanks! Keep up the great job! Slàinte!
Great stuff ..thanks Jeff
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Jeff
I downloaded this video seven years ago and still practice singing. I learned how determined I am to study and explore more about music and singing. Vocalization/s are really important while singing in a choir, and I miss our Conductor, who taught us to be passionate, competitive, and sing with love.
Thank you, sir. Jeff Rolka!
P.S. I'm back looking for more of your videos to learn and practice vocalizations!
Is it possible for a bass- baritone to sing high? Like actually that it sounds good
@Lian_music of course it is! You just need good alignment. Jeff has several videos that cross the passage to get into your high voice.
Thank you.
I can do most of this exercise, 9 months of testosterone!!
I'm 5 years in! Gets easier and easier, just keep singing 😁
Doing these exercises to try to practice androgynous voice :)) good luck!
Keep it up. 6 years in, finally getting classical Baritone solos! In the beginning, my voice cracked so much I thought I'd never sing again. Finally have the voice I always wanted.
Congrats!! **deep voice**
almost 4 years on t, i was too insecure because of my voice to learn to sing before it dropped. now i know i have a lot to work on but it's a pleasure to see trans brothers trying these exercises too! 💜
Love it man! Thanks from German Jonny. I'm feeling mighty loooow...
Nice! Hello from California! Thanks for watching!
Jeff
Thank you
Another absolute banger from JR
Thank you!
Best exercise for my voice i can sing very comfortable with the low notes
Thanks for this🔥
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting!
Jeff
Hey Jeff, is it possible for you to make any vocal exercise videos for low basses? I can't seem to find any video that touches into the first octave, and I'd love for you to make one. Thanks!
Get an app like ASD and move the pitches around to your liking.
Thank you for the surly smile! 😅
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your super thanks! I really appreciate the support!
Best,
Jeff
THANKS
Jeff you’re a legend
Very kind, thank you for that! I do my best!
Have been starting to do these voice exercises to make my range larger and in the hopes that by habit my voice will be lower! I'll update in a week :) so far my throat is sore but the good kind.
Be careful of the sore throat! Keep us in the loop!
Jeff
What a nice guy!
I would say I'm a baritone but powerful down to F2. I wouldn't class anything below E2 as part of my range as it starts to become vocal fry, but, I enjoy singing low notes and I'm finding doing this warm up daily is helping to make those low notes feel a bit more solid.
nice
Hey Jeff! No pressure but if you ever felt like updating this for patreon with a gentle morning vocal warm up, it'd be great to have access to mp3s and maybe even a longer form version of this... For your episode idea list. Thanks as always for all that you do!
Sure! I haven't done one of these in awhile! Happy to oblige!
Jeff
Those Low notes hit the spot!!
Yeah baby! Low low low!
Jeff
Jeff Rolka your the best
I wasn't even planning on singing today, initially I was trying to find out how low the baritone range goes. But then I just went with it and did the whole warm-up, I felt like the Bob Ross of singing was talking to me :)
High praise! Thank you so much for that! Thank you for singing along and being here! Thanks so much!
Jeff
This is a classic.
The space in between is great for water breaks
Im surprised I went down as low as I did, I usually can hit C2 but this time I got B1 😂
Me, too.
SAME
Damn Phil Anselmo in the house
Jeff- “mover your body around and wake up”
Me- *driving to the studio at 9:45pm completely exhausted*
All too frequently the case. Still, a little movement can help!
Jeff
