High Note Sustain - Soprano Range

[@staceyiseman]

Jeff, I have been practicing with your warmups and exercises since June when my choir went on hiatus for the summer. My voice and range have both noticeably improved. I can now reach C6, and have also strengthened in the octave above C4 (and below C4 which was very weak for me before) Thank you for this amazing resource. So helpful. I look forward to recommending your channel to my choir-mates.

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome!!!! Thank you so much and great job! Jeff

[@kidsfringer]

Way to go Stacey! That's awesome. :D

[@kidsfringer]

Oh Jeff, I love how much of your personality you inject into these videos. :) Thank you for always making me smile. I can't get through the bonus round yet - but there's room to grow.

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much Missus Webster! I hope you're doing well! Jeff

[@tiffanytaylor3053]

i warm up to the both the mezzo and soprano warm ups and the “held high notes” and “mixed voice” videos are my absolute favorite

[@annamariasoprano9102]

You are just fab. Loved the bonus exercise. THANK YOU!!

[@sistermjoangreenberg8467]

As always, amazingly helpful. I am so grateful for these videos. Again, thanks so much!

Love it , Jeff

As always, an amazing resource for vocalists. Great warm ups...

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

Another great lesson. I found it really useful. You really show you care - always - and that makes me try even harder as if I am in the room with you and you are my personal coach. Bet that sounds a really crazy comment, but you do have the knack of making me feel as if I am the most important one using your site. And as if that's not enough, I am singing even higher now. The highest soprano notes are second nature to me now. Thank you from my heart Jeff. I so want to spread the good word but don't know how.

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much! You can always share links on Twitter or with friends or just tell people you know! Everything helps and I appreciate it!

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

@@JeffRolka Promise I will do that whenever I get the chance. I have mentioned your name to a few in the recent past, although one or two already knew you. My next job I think is to join Twitter. Kind regards.

[@Alitoptops]

Thank you so much for your videos! 😍 This really helped me a lot!

[@JeffRolka]

I'm so glad!

[@phoenix.maximus]

these are very good and i'm sure you start memorizing them over time, but putting the vowels up during each exercise would be great :)

[@Phelia2319]

I just wish that you would go higher. My range goes up to e6. I can sing 3 different octaves as well. I have a broad range for a 19 year old female. My vocal chords are just unbelievable sometimes. I can be placed anywhere except bass. Bass notes are to low for me except for when I am sick but I don't sing when I am sick because that's the time when I recover.

[@JeffRolka]

Just sing up an octave! Jeff

1st thanks

[@odeagloriae1461]

Hello Jeff, if you can do both soprano and mezzo warm up what does it mean ? Am I a low soprano or a high mezzo ? My highest note without problem is A5 but i can do a C6 in a dying dolphin mode ;-)

[@JeffRolka]

Good question. There is a lot of overlap in the fachs (vocal range designations). It doesn't really mean much, I'm afraid that you can do both. What is more telling is how your voice respond at particular areas. What is the middle voice registration event like? Where is it? If it's inconsistent, you'll have to align vowels and work on vowel modifications to get consistent performance otherwise the transitions won't ever settle down. What is your experience around the primo passaggio and again, where is it? Asking those questions, and working towards getting consistent results will tell you about your voice. Overall range or notes that one can 'hit' doesn't really tell us much either. Best! Jeff

[@odeagloriae1461]

Jeff Rolka hello ! thank you for your answer :-) all i can say is that i can reach a D3 if i am properly warmed up. After a long search : my confortable area in low voice starts at F#3 (i think it is the primo passagio ? i am not sure because i don’t know well the theory), the start of my middle voice is near E4-F4 and my head voice really starts at D5. But i have a clear, light voice, not dark at all, even if powerful and very easy concerning the middle voice, a little less for low and high voice... So i still don’t know :-)

[@celticlady4821]

Jeff as a soprano I have more difficulty singing in the lower range and find I often can go wobbly and out of tune. Is there a video for this?

[@JeffRolka]

Indeed! Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3SVlpmnatx6Y5o

[@cresla2001]

👏👏💯

[@FabiolaGAVE]

I don't understand the first exercise, does it start with chest voice then moving to mixed voice? Because at the beginning it is too low for mixed voice but in the end it is too high for chest voice. Help!😣

[@JeffRolka]

You've basically got it! This video requires fairly good understanding and facility around registration event practice! Best! Jeff
