    Evynne, thanks so much for your vocal lessons! Moms like me who are currently caring for a toddler, and aren't able to attend music lessons, this is a real treat. I love your vocal exercise, singing Zeee-yah! My 21 month old daughter Zia loves it especially, since she thinks the song is about her : )
    More power to you, and thanks again!

    This takes me right back to choir warm-ups. I can still hear my director telling us, "Lift your palate ladies!" :) We did most of these, but instead of the zee-ah in the upper register, we did no-mah-no. I love seeing your videos! You and your family are so beautiful inside & out. :) xo

  • @luluk5430
    @luluk5430 Před 7 lety +7

    Thank you so much, this is helping me a lot. I note a huge difference when you sing Zeeeah and when I do which helps me to improve. Greetings from Germany.

    You are the only youtuber I trust to help me warm up my elementary music students! All the others were either singing tight, nasally or had painful glottal stops! Thank you for setting the example for healthy singing that protects the voice long term. I made a warm up playlist for my students with only your videos. I watched about 20 other warm up videos for kids and they were all doing things with their voices that I would never want my students to imitate. I can't thank you enough! I'm also huge fan of you and your husband's music videos!

    I have to compliment you on this warmup piece. I happened upon it when I needed some guidance for an audition, never having done a vocal audition before. I must tell you I was accepted into an operatic Chorus, and I credit your relaxation and chest voice warmups greatly! Thanks!

    That sliding warmup I sounded like a dying cat. 😝 my mixed range is where I am lacking the most and need the most work. What can I do to improve that area and also what keys are you playing so I can practice on my own? Thanks!

  • @dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394

    I have just written to you on the mixed voice vid. I have now done the exercises in this one and love them because they are different to the ones on the other site I have used. I have been looking for something different! Many many thanks. This is so riveting!

    I’m going to follow this like crazy. I was a voice major in college. I just turned 59 and can barely sing anymore. I was diagnosed nosed - FINALLY! at 47 with tracheomalacia. I’ve apparently had it since birth. It causes me to cough violently when there is any change in air pressure, even getting the sniffles. This is because my trachea closes too much when exhaling. CPAP has helped the cough about 85%, which is tremendous, but that’s it. There is no cure and it is degenerative. Our niece is graduating from Westminster Choir College in 2021. She has some recording equipment and I have a piano with a 16 track recorder in it. Her major is theory and composition with a voice concentration and sings like an Angel. She writes too and I would really like to do some work with her. So thank you for making these specific videos. You have a beautiful voice. ❤️

    Hi Evynne! Really love your How to sing- videos!❤Your advices really works👏 I use them every time I practice. And I will continue with that😁 What I would love to have is all your vocal exercises in ONE video. More singing/ exercises, less talking. Now I use bits and parts from all the videos, and they are great!! But it would be so much easier to have them in one video, covering all the techniques you use.... and we could do them along with you😊 But anyway, thank you so much for your good advices and your lovely smile🌹

    Hi Evynne, I just wanted to say thank you for posting these! I’ve been trying to get my voice trained up, and despite having a lot of training, I tend to strain. Your technique is so great, even listening to you speak helps remind me to relax my throat! I don’t know if you ever reply on here, but I would love personally if you could go more into the lip flubs part of warming up? I have trouble getting tone, and remember years back someone telling me to make a rolled r sound instead. That doesn’t feel like the same kind of exercise at all, and I want to find that magic balance between tone and how much actual air should be moving. Anyway, you are SO BUSY and have little kids to take care of, so probably that video won’t happen, but in any case thanks again for being such an inspiring youtuber! I hope to imitate some of your awesome practices, not just in singing, but in your wonderful, upbeat attitude and in your career here on youtube. Thank you for the beautiful performances and sharing your wonderful self!! :D

    Will be adding these to my collection of warmups.
    Here's some fun ones (I'd credit only I can't remember where I learned them from now - it's been several years) that I use all the time too:
    "Many men" - to the tune of the William Tell Overture (as in "Many men, many men, many men men men")
    "How far is my car?" - Doh-So-Fah-Mi-Doh moving upwards one tone at a time.
    "Spa-ghe-tti-&-Ra-vi-o-li" - Chromatic downwards scales moving up keyboard (chest - head voice.

    This was so helpful 😃 But I have a lot of trouble with the breathing part of it, I never take big enough breaths and when I do, it's kinda loud. Then I have a bad habit of either taking a breath, then immediately releasing it and singing, or I take a breath and hold it while I sing. I try not to, but it's just kind of a natural reaction my body has, so I was wondering if you could post a video on how to breathe better or give me some advice. Thanks, lysm ❤️

    Hello, I read that singing in the morning can be damaging and that the body needs about 3 hours before it is ready. I googled that when I hurt myself singing right when I got up, I was actually trying to belt. So what is your intake on that subject? You mentioned doing the warm-ups in the shower........I want to practice in the morning because this is "my time", when the kids are at school. So, what do you think?
