Daily Vocal Workout for Alto Singers | 30 Day Singer

[@helenloeb4574]

I recently joined my church choir after not singing in a choir for several decades (I am in my 60s!). To make matters more difficult, the choir director loves to assign difficult pieces, and I am surrounded by very talented and experienced singers. Also, it’s a small choir, so I am one among 3-4 altos: my mistakes can’t be ignored! But I’m determined to rise to the challenge! I begin my at-home practice with one of your warm-ups, and you have helped me gain some confidence! Thank you!

[@30DaySinger]

You got this!

[@ireneokunz1617]

Wow Look at me at 22 thinking it’s all over since I’ve been in the choir for two years and have never been able to lead a song or part in alto Wow you are a motivation❤

[@rozjeffery1]

Same here Helen , and I'm 76!!!!

[@yones6958]

Sameee! I haven't been in a choir for a little over a decade and I have a lot of catching up to do since the pieces are challenging and I'm surrounded by talented and skilled singers.

[@aratinga77]

I like this one. You seriously cut it off on the F which is the highest note I can sing (badly). You understand the alto!

[@bdahl6731]

This Vocal warm up is perfect for the music I’m working on right now we are singing Beethoven’s ninth, which has a very large alto range. I like that this warm up engages my muscles right out of the gate, then separates my head and chest voice and warms them up before going into my break, then my break is in discernible. Thank you.

[@IngenuousSoprano]

Not an alto, but I find this to be excellent way to fully warm up the lower extremes and speaking for plays without mics.

[@30DaySinger]

We appreciate you tuning in with us!

[@atlantiscreedawake1475]

I love 30daysinger and I am learning a lot... however I do wish that there was a follow along style vocal warm ups something that's also downloadable. Love all the effort and knowledge poured into the course so far regardless!! but it would be nice and even more helpful🧡🧡🧡🙏 😘

Thank you viewing our lesson! You can find the exercises detailed in the description section as well.

[@floristafrohlich9739]

Hello, thank you so much for your great work in this channel, you have already helped me so much!❤I wanted to ask if you could maybe do a video on the different voice types. I have read that the quality of the voice is much more important than the actual range and there are some mezzos who sound exactly like sopranos without the darkness und richness that i was told mezzos would have. I have also been put in 3 different voice categories by different voice teachers, so i am really confused.I know this is a difficult and kind of controversial topic but maybe you can bring some clarity to this. I would be very thankful and thank's again for your great content! Many greetings from Austria

[@susannahdavis5291]

would love how to release the tension in my neck and throat muscles, tried all kinds of stuff, proper standing etc.

[@30DaySinger]

Great question! Be sure to tune in to our next Live Lesson 1/11 - How To Release Vocal Tension - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHy5dnWih7uSibc. You can also ask questions in real time about specific tension or posture issues.

[@emilyjane012]

Amazing, so good, thank you!! :)

[@latyrasellers-lim8101]

This is awesome!

[@30DaySinger]

You're awesome! Thank you for watching.

[@FranciscaRigaud]

I'm a very high soprano but I need to strengthen my lower voice. Thanks

[@goodluckgoodness3816]

Thanks for educating us

[@richardmcmillan6966]

Thank you!

[@30DaySinger]

Thank you!

[@MarinaBonatti-q9x]

I'd be interested in a video with a full exercise routine focused on increasing vocal range.

[@MarinaBonatti-q9x]

(I've seen some tip videos on the channel, but you were supposed to apply them specifically in a song, whereas I was looking for a more general exercise routine, that does not depend on any particular song).

[@30DaySinger]

Thank you for the suggestion, we will take it into consideration.

[@swerverTR]

i really can't figure this out, because i was convinced that i'm an alto (i have a "female" voice and i perform better in lower ranges), but i cannot hit most of the higher notes in this, but i could go just a bit lower. incredibly gender-affirming, at the very least.

[@aratinga77]

It isn't really about gender. I am a woman, and I have trouble with the higher notes too. I normally sing tenor (all my life) but when I joined a treble choir I started singing "Alto II". A lot of the 4-part music is just a little too high and hits me square in the break (pasaggio). Above the pasaggio is the head voice. This exercise works on your "head voice", which is half your voice. So you have to cultivate it. You may actually be a tenor. I use that one, and also the Baritone exercises (but I can't get all the way to the bottom of those).

[@jesclifford88]

Have you tried ‘simply sing’ app-it may say you’re a different range? Like the commenter above said though, it’s not about gender. I also don’t think there’s a set in stone range that an ‘alto’ can do, you may be able to sing notes I can’t and vice versa 😊

[@jackkunkel4773]

Very helpful thanks

[@30DaySinger]

You're welcome!

[@imeequindocamasis1185]

Thank you

[@30DaySinger]

Welcome!

[@AntiSocialExtrovert323]

i love how you started with breathing exercises-- if you make another one of these, could you have more in the first few exercises? this could be a matter of individual preference, but i find i warm up best when i start w sirens. i mentioned this in a diff video, but the range doesn't go low enough and goes too high from the get go for an alto.

[@30DaySinger]

appreciate your suggestion

[@WordWorksByShelica]

I realized that one of the weaknesses of my voice is register shifting particularly from high to low.

[@30DaySinger]

Recognizing that is a big step forward! Smoothly shifting between registers takes practice, so try exercises that glide from high notes down to low, like gentle sirens or slides, which can help connect the registers. Focus on supporting each note with steady breath control to avoid sudden drops or cracks. Over time, these exercises will help you transition more easily and strengthen those tricky shifts in your range!

[@Y.u.m.i_world]

Love your workouts. And also i have a question. HOW MUCH TIME PER DAY SHOULD I PRACTISE. Tysm if you answer

[@30DaySinger]

Hi There, we have responded to one of your previous comments, please check it out. Here is the link to our blog on how to start again: www.30daysinger.com/blog/one-lesson-per-day-how-to-practice-for-the-best-results

[@Y.u.m.i_world]

@@30DaySinger Thank you so much💓💓💓💓

[@tiffanypiggottshorts]

I still struggle with the higher notes the lower notes were easier for me to do

[@30DaySinger]

Keep at it and let us know how you progress!

[@Anna221]

Hello! What is the other alternative for lip trill or lip roll for those who can't do that?

[@30DaySinger]

Here's our video on that exact question - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqjdk6yvoZaXY6s

[@applesmith9137]

I wish I wasn’t too embarrassed to sing loudly in my own house. I live alone but I share walls with neighbors I’m so worried they can hear me

[@artiemuse]

Why does their opinion matter? You're practicing something and working at getting better. Just be mindful of the time you're practicing.

[@moniaza5509]

I’m having issues getting to the head notes. I don’t have a problem singing the lower notes, but it seems like it all comes out of my chest and throat (If that makes sense). I’m. pretty sure I’m an alto, but I don’t have any previous experience. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong.

[@30DaySinger]

Don’t be discouraged-developing a strong head voice takes time and practice. Keep experimenting with these techniques, and you'll see progress!

[@CourageOgonnaya]

Have been in the choir for 2years and still finds it difficult to sing alto part,this usually takes my confidence away while singing Please i really need help

[@30DaySinger]

Practice will make perfect!

[@sethcarrillo2780]

How much are the lessons after the free trial ?

[@30DaySinger]

You can find more details about our lesson offerings at www.30daysinger.com

[@Sis_Hall]

I noticed my chest voice could do the entire range mostly but my head voice only half of the high notes.

[@30DaySinger]

Practice makes perfect

[@SpotlightsmusicTV]

Darn soon I m going to crack my voice

[@glibbergloop]

What do you mean

[@ugi3391]

Im male but i think iam an alto 😵

[@30DaySinger]

Gender does not define your range!

[@johnefokwu6342]

Head voice was a bit more difficult for me

[@THEPETERC1]

I don't know the hissing technique, but my audiences sure do.
