How To Lip Trill

[@xXBattleloreXx]

Wow, thanks for reminding me not to give up too fast xD I never really worked on lip trills because I always thought I'm just not able todo them. But after you said you've never met anyone who can't I've tried again and literally got it within 2 Minutes *_*

[@NeaneyBeany]

They laughed at me at Praise and Worship practice doing my trill practice through an entire song...until they tried it and saw how much it helped. 🤷🏽‍♀️Trill on!!

[@ericarceneaux]

YES!!! I feel u! I had a similar experience of being laughed at by church choir members (back in my college days), only to eventually start leading warmups (complete with trills 😌) before every rehearsal 😆.

[@NeaneyBeany]

EricArceneaux lol exactly!! Now I walk in and I hear a bunch of bumble bees lol.

[@lawnboyfreak]

I trill through songs during our practice too! It helps so much. My range has expanded, but more importantly, my intonation is spot on and I don’t tense up. Listen to Eric, he knows what he’s talking about.

[@Zeshen]

Bottom of my tongue is attached to the tip. Literally have no excess with which to trill. Thanks for the lesson, but it can't help me. Good luck to the rest of you.

[@hanonym6584]

@@Zeshen The tongue does not really matter when lip trilling. I tried to do it with my tongue in different positions (stucked to the bottom, stucked to the palate, rolled up, rolled down...). Press your lips together (not too hard) and force the airflow through them. They should vibrate. It is a different thing from "rolling your r's" like in east-european languages. Your tongue does not vibrate. Hope it helps

[@ericarceneaux]

I shared this on Instagram, and many of you have requested repeatedly that I also repost these IGTV vertical vids here on KZbin as well. So I’ll keep posting these in between the full-production lesson vids.

[@bxlioness4552]

Hi Eric, how often/long do I do this exercise - daily?

[@sterlingculpepper3904]

Can I get feedback on my singing Ig links above

[@ericarceneaux]

MS NYC Yes 🙂. You can book Skype/FaceTime lessons on my site www.AApproach.com

[@FitMoose]

I was learning to sing a new song, and my girlfriend is trying to get me to help her sing. Then your name randomly popped into my head after literally about 8 years! I used to watch your videos in college, and it’s so cool to see you’re still here growing and doing an awesome job helping people as an online vocal coach!

[@bostonkpm2061]

Hi Eric! I was a KZbin follower and student of your vocal instruction at least 10 yrs ago. Unfortunately, I stopped working as a performer and took care of my parents until they transitioned. The last time I sang in public was at their going home service. And that was 8 years ago. Well after, Kobe and his beautiful daughter perished, I said to myself....That's it!!! Time to return to my first true love ....performing. Oh, the pipes, the pipes are totally clogged and I was lost as to where to begin....until this afternoon! I am so glad to see you in the que. I almost didn't recognize you, until it occured to me that it has been awhile since I last "saw you" needless to say I am overjoyed to see you are still passing on great and useful knowledge. Happy to be back in class. Your Boston student and fan of your style,technic, and personality! God Bless you 😇

[@darKnight1056]

Good for you!!

[@cheesegrater3848]

You’re voice is amazing 🥺

[@ericarceneaux]

Oh wow... I was just acting stupid. lol 😅. But thank you!!! 🙏🏽❤️

[@ianmusicstein]

These tips instantly improved my ability to do lip trill. Still not where it needs to be, but way closer now.

[@SuperDylan84]

Mine too! I've never known how to do lip trills until I saw this video.

[@Hannah-uf1wz]

Same same same

[@noldinebelizaire7842]

GOD BLESS YOU!! I was wondering why I was so stuck on lip trills but when you talked about looking around the ranges I FINALLY started doing it!

[@teodorgochev3455]

0:18-0:32 I loved it!!! Dont think it was extra at all! I love when you sing and talk simultaneously. Best vocal coach in the world.

[@ericarceneaux]

Thank you, Teodor! 🙏🏽

[@JohnDeanMusic]

So happy you've posted new videos on KZbin. Very grateful Eric!!!

[@kcmur7254]

Did he just go ratatata?? 😂

[@mus_saeed_]

kcmur 💀💀💀

[@SakiAbove]

I guess he's in the ghetto.

[@felsongwriter]

I tried my whole life with little success (with lots of years of giving up in between) and just now I realized if I do a "duck face" before doing lip trills, it helped me! Now on to practicing

[@aalaaquene9149]

This was extremely helpful! Within minutes I was able to grasp the lip trills. I’m excited now that I’ve got the gist of it! Thank you brother!

[@theboyjames3065]

WOW. I've never been able to do lip bubbles without my fingers and through your video, I can without! Thank you 🙏

[@rowannoodles119]

OMG!!!!!!!! I’ve literally been doing the brrrrrr thing instead of Buuuuu so when I tried it a couple times i did it!!!!!! I’m so proud of myself!!!

[@escobaresco1895]

Lip trills has helped me on my breath control and my range!

[@pjglory3348]

I have never been able to do lip trills. I sound like an engine struggling to fire!how glad am I to find out other people can’t do it either. What a relief!

[@mr.eddie777]

Thanks so much, I literally did everything wrong as you mentioned. But know I know the right way. Thanks so much for the advice much appreciated. You're the best.

[@brightstarr9322]

I knew I was doing them completely wrong when my tongue was making all the noise and movement with my lips. I just couldn’t get my lips to do the trill or movement independently. Then when watching your video, I had more of an understanding and got my lips to do a trill instead of my tongue. Ok, this is going to take work. That’s okay. Thank you for helping me here!

[@livelystone9367]

My main thing is breathing. I always stop breathing in everything i do lol. Maybe this is a coping mechanism i picked up when younger? Smh lol I need breathing videos

[@holyrandomness5654]

Guys! The moment he said it wasn't br, and it was bu, I got it!

[@kalcfide]

Haha I love your videos bro you always coming with the real spit practice gotta practice!!!

[@wocpt]

wow thank you for this, i’ve been literally struggling for a month STRAIGHT, because nobody said “brrr”

[@toochameleon]

Omg the “brr” vs “buh” tip immediately helped me do lip trills on the higher notes

[@PalomaVocals]

I like this video and recommended it to a student of mine. Thanks for making it. :)

[@swmathus8176]

Thanks for the encouragement. Will keep at it.

[@jamieflo7485]

Hey Eric, thanks so much. Love your vids. You always connect the mental and physical in a nice way. I am finding it difficult to do without holding my cheeks. If I hold my cheeks will I eventually become able to do it without putting my fingers on my cheeks? Or will I have to practice it without my fingers on my cheeks to get there? Never giving up

[@darlenecarruthers-shelton837]

Yep I have troble doing lip trils unless I use my fingers. But I keep at it!! INEVER give up on anything. Practice makes you get Better.

[@epiccoconut5995]

My balloon got busted when he said it's not "brrrrrr". I was having a ball with that. "Buhhhhh" on the other hand is another story. I sounded like a car having trouble starting; yup, THAT's the one...

[@dominquebarnes8071]

I Gave Up On Doing Lip TrillsOn The 1st Try & Then I Would Take A Deep Breath, Tried Them Again & Now I Love Doing Them & They Actually Warm My Voice Up Really Good

[@jahnavi.youtube]

Don't ever give up keep fighting 💪

[@tyrellrowell]

I just started my singing journey and thank big bro because didnt get to finish the video before u helped me get it right of I listened to the whole video anyway but my guys u really the shit thank this make me feel like I can really do this and r ees ally learn to sing (I just want to be able to sing to my daughter whom is on the way into this world do u think I can get at least bearable in three months or is that a pipe dream I wont stop I just need a realistic timeline if possible

[@kass.sk8]

I could not do it, then I heard "It's brrr it's bah" man it worked in a second, that is genius.

[@gemmadidit4118]

TCH! Are you telling me off!? ...let's fight! I've been doing trills since that Jill Scott album...

[@kavi_geet9959]

Wow!!!! It worked. You really helped me do it. So very happy...thanks

[@artymunoz5060]

Hey bro. I got a question Is there a wrong way to talk ? Kind of weird I know. But is it possible that I could have developed really bad talking habits my whole life?

[@bonnie04]

He posted a video on how to fix a nasal speaking and singing voice just before this one :) is that the sort of problem you have?

[@LA-cy1zj]

unexpected take from this is the quick breath you did at 20 seconds before going into song. was good to see your method in genuine action. the inhale didnt seem to be through your nose though? it looked to be deep through your mouth. is this correct?

[@ericarceneaux]

This short video will answer your question 😌👍🏽 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXjMnJKPraZ1mrssi=qKW54czU5PsOSduF

[@fynnonye374]

This is amazing, you have a unique voice too 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@claudialaura8805]

Hi Eric! I wanna ask you what is the purpose of havin an "uh" sound when doin the liptrills? Is it to keep the throat relaxed? Sometimes when I liptrill it sounds amazing and even feels fun! I can also feel how sound is "up and forward". But most of the times when I do liptrill (or singing in general) I feel the sound is so choked, and by tongue is like falling back into my throat making my voice sound muffled and distorted. Even my breathing is ruined. What is goin wrong with me?

[@rool5712]

worked right away! 😲 Thanks!

[@menambre9964]

I mess around doing these sounds all the time, I didnt know it helped you sing !!😵😂

[@kartikdogra1]

i have been practicing for i dont know how many years ....i never gave up and never will...my progress is extremely slow..due to some medical condition i could even barely speak singing is way farther thing for me...but i am determined that one day atleast one day i will...just one thing i feel so much tension in my gut area or hip joints...is there any exercise that targets that part specifically?? if not doesnt matter eric for life ... peace 😍

[@epiccoconut5995]

His "Professional Vocal Warmup 1- Opening Up The Voice." may help with that. He covers these two areas in that lesson...

[@craiganderson1319]

Love how you told it straight on this...it takes work! for evreything in life :-)

[@rod2success17]

Thanks for your video sir i learned vocal warm up.....

[@AJ-fl2ci]

Hey eric love the videos. You should do a video on how to do the "he he he" technique. Keep up the great tutorials :)

[@benitathomas3325]

Thank you, I did it, OMG, thank you, it worked the first time I used my hands as you instructed

[@Noname-ks1bz]

Please coach tell me,i am learning myself to sing,and i want your opinion to the way i am learning.Here is what i do,i train every day,one day rest,i do each exercise 10-15 min,lip trills,humming,tongue trill and vocal fry and yah yah with the tongue out.

[@blazing6472]

Thanks putting my hands in the hollows of my cheek and lifting my jaw up really worked

[@josephducreux4236]

My head voice is very breathy compared to my chest voice and I can't control it very well to produce intelligible sounds. Anyone know which video helps with that? Or do you know what to do to help?

[@flaviocosta9829]

Amo demais sua aulas.

[@gabriellagelir2027]

My GUY!!!!!!!!! the moment I placed my fingers in the hollows of my cheeks, I could trill. I'm not lying, I could NEVER trill before....until today...lol

[@ericarceneaux]

LOL 🙌🏽😆. Happy for your breakthrough!

[@benrguitar9930]

how do you avoid an aneurysm?

[@ailishbethd4033]

I can only do lip trills when I put my fingers on each side of my mouth, but they are amazing lip trills, lol i think after a certain age the cheeks sag and we no longer have the support in our muscles there. Well, that"s my explanation anyway.

[@casper2166]

this is a vocal stim i've really wanted to do, this'll help a lotttt:))

[@lowkeymusic7166]

Wow this has help me so much thank you so much

[@joiningself-care5005]

My lip drills are tongue drills. And when I actually get a lip drill right it only lasts 5 seconds but I'm still trying and I'm slowly getting there, sometimes I just do the tongue drill but I'm improving.

[@XxQueenChristinaxX]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@hanoecorp6822]

Hi @eric when i get sick or have a sinus issue it gets complicated to do lip trills Right now my cheeks aren’t coming together tight enough to make the roll. :( any tips ?

[@haroonjaved5082]

Thanks for shearing this very helpful

[@juatsomedude3752]

Is it normal for your throat to feel a little different after

[@Nikki-zi9ws]

Thankuuuuuuu 🥰💜

[@kareemdrake2925]

Thanks😁 so much

[@landryfeldman2392]

Thank you

[@thiagohsilvestre7127]

Valueable tools

[@adabaudio]

I can do short lip trills without any finger support but I don't know how to make them longer

[@ronniefisher1782]

I would like to get voice lessons, your website is down. How do I contact you? I'm in the DMV. Thanks Ronnie

[@ericarceneaux]

My website isn't down. Make sure you spell it with two A's and two P's, or just click this link www.aapproach.com 🙂

[@MillyMillsxc]

hi you are a grate sings gust keep praktsig

[@9windsongs]

When I use my voice while doing this exercise it really scratches my throat bad. Idk how to make sound doing this lip roll without my throat dieing.

[@cheeseontoast3434]

is it weird than when i do lip trills and i think i'm doing them correctly but then i go higher and the ''b'' starts souding more like ''p'' am i doing it wrong or something

[@RobertoGazzelli]

What should be the right place for the tongue in this exercise?

[@ericarceneaux]

Tongue root is relaxed, with the tip of the tongue gently behind the bottom front teeth/bottom gums.

[@JustinNathanielAdams]

1:02 Huuhhhhh??!! 😂

[@DickRickley]

15 years of singing. Can't do lip trills. Every vocal instructor says they can't believe it.

[@athanasia4878]

Gosh so I can do it but for some reason I can't do scales. The minute I try, I stop

[@fantasticalworlds]

Ive tried to do lip trills for awhile now, cant do them... tried the fingers in cheeks and was like Whaaaaat? Thanks

[@hellasketchy1668]

I used to be able to do lip trills How did I loose it😨 Well now I have it back 😅

[@bv6589]

I do it but I think I might be doing it wrong cuase I feel like I’m doing with my tongue (I feel it shaking)

[@miaramck6746]

4:39 subbed

[@tonimcelroy9818]

I can see other peoples teeth when they do lip trills, but I don't see mine when I do them. So it makes me feel like I'm not doing them right. I do have bigger lips than most people though.

[@daderpywalrus9365]

Don’t say I’m giving up, I’m looking this up for a reason >:C But that’s for help, gonna keep trying.

[@keithlarsen7557]

It was litterally just the cheeks and fingers thing. I guess I hold my face a little too stiff or something.

[@northsidemike7210]

Dude you look like Jussie smollett

[@naziatehseen2626]

I can do lip trills but, I can do trills from throat too..

[@edgardolim9953]

Buh is it. The rrrrrrrrrrr comes from the lips. Yes, in 5 minutes I'm doing the exercise pretty well.

[@weuweu8610]

I have overbite😂😢

[@anonymousgirl7566]

Kinda hard the lip thrills ...

[@stoni129]

I’m mad the buh helped 🙄

[@carlyp454]

My only problem is that is tickles too much hahaha
