[@ChuckCanada1]

***** ^ that guy is awesome!

[@sarahguerrero6491]

Thanks, good tips! I have trouble relaxing when I sing high.

[@hayleybeth2378]

SO appreciate this series. As someone looking to improve their voice and not knowing where to start, your videos are a lifesaver.

[@esmecohen_23]

Me right now at 11:51pm trying to learn how to sing from scratch.

[@ElisPalmer]

Pleeeease create a full warm up video ✨🙏🏼✨💙✨

[@maikotsutsumi]

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!

[@IndoDPA204]

I'm sorry but the "ya ya" part reminds me of the kid who loves his head get hit by a basketball x"D

YASSSSSSS

[@evaciccarelli]

eeeeeeyyyyaaaaaa

[@alysonw0nderland]

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

[@juliagarrison1226]

I'm trying out for my first musical, and I really needed this, so thank you! I'm doing Defying Gravity I think, maybe Belle or The Schuyler Sister maybe I'm still working on it....

[@BRCVPAMusic]

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!

[@jtbaz]

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!

[@luluk5430]

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.

[@mariaosorio86]

Love this! You're so talented and thanks for being an inspiration!

[@KCoda1248]

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. ❤️

[@mildredmusic]

This was so great! Thank you so much for posting! I love your voice. :)

[@ChaiLatte13]

[@olgakasatkina3162]

I love all your How to Sing videos! They truly help me sing better and you give a lot of good tips. You explain things better than other voice teachers.

[@elic.j.4294]

Evynne you are an excellent singer!!

[@hotlipsxoxo90210]

Love it! Thank you!

[@NicholeTallent]

Both of your warm up videos are great! Please keep sharing these tips. Maybe even share some tips for getting past the nerves of performing and how to not let the nerves effect your voice. I have trouble with that.

[@gabrieljimenez2047]

Excellent tutorial, thank you very much, you are the best :)

[@victoriaskyful]

I'm directing my school's a capella group, so I needed some tips on what to teach the group! This is very amazing. Thank you!

[@ShansLanding]

This is soooo incredibly helpful..almost like having you be our personal vocal coach. Thanks so much Evynne. You are AWESOME!!

[@turtledove471]

Evynne Thank you for the vocal warm ups, I use them all the time, thank you for helping me with my vocal warm ups, they help me so much!!!❤❤❤

[@syleeadventures]

aah~ it's been so long since i've watched your videos (I will make up for it ;) ) but it's good to be back! btw! LOVE your shirt! It's so simple but nice!

[@erinrosette5941]

loved this!

[@LaurajollyE]

Great tips, thank you!!

[@starlaclayborn4781]

Thanks for these tips. I have COPD an they help with my breathing, so please keep them coming.

[@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!

[@hornfury]

omg i need these warm ups!

[@markthomas6236]

I love what you do

[@TheSarahMonkey]

you look so beautiful in here! This warm up is very helpful. Thank you :)

[@lorenzoa.solonjr9803]

beautiful teacher 😊

[@PinkesEi]

this is really cool. So good thank you :)

[@mandydennert2520]

:) you made me smile and laugh, it was enjoyable. I like you, thank you for this video.

[@nancyham1890]

Thanks, Evynne! I will try these as I try and get my voice back in shape after esophagus surgery. Right now I have chest and head voice tones, but no mid range.

[@thelisarahman]

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!

[@Littlebabyandersen]

She's right in the middle of the keyboard. Middle c, going up.

[@anetterobertsen]

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🌹

[@tomeniovlogs1570]

thanks for the tips.....really appreciate it.

[@Sunshinegirl502]

I love you voice lessons. I get it more so than some of the others. And too, maybe it's because I am Soprano.

[@HobbitOnWheels]

I was a Sweet Adeline for about 7-ish years before other commitments (aka college) required me to leave the chorus I was in. This video was very nostalgic for me, because we used to do all of these warmups during practice. :)

[@arickabatley7382]

Hi Evelyn! Today I have a singing competition for 4-H. So I knew you had warm ups that would help. So thanks in advance.

[@alexiagoodgurl5719]

You make me smile >< so sweet

[@floidarose6883]

Thank you 💗💗💗

[@VardaMusic]

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

[@goliantuang8431]

thanks Evynne

[@dlaity107]

Love it - thanks a million! 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.

[@pandamuffingirl7147]

This video was really interesting. We do one of the warmups in choir you did :)

[@Maiya696]

very helpful tyvm^^

[@mnwilliand]

Thank you so much👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Gedagnors]

Thank you!!!

[@MykeVoice]

Nice I try it that warmup

[@dannerzme]

Ooh! Cool!

[@hannahsteiner1931]

love it that's for some tips :) I'm in my high school choir had we do warm ups similar to what u do on of our warm ups is sun is high the shadows fly the west Is clear and bright the morning calls that was up all behold the morning light.

[@sarahj5161]

That's a pretty warmup.

[@aeonmatrix7269]

wow!amazing...

[@kurdkingbehindthescenes3350]

im a beginner singer and this is very helpful i do this everyday

[@tommycanaparo443]

Love your videos.. I just found out your channel and i'll probably watch all your videos..😂

[@imspanishasianfilipi]

my voice still vibrating .why

[@dhimaspurnomo883]

thank you very much..

[@jovenileamper3451]

its so much fun

[@Silent.Program]

Thank you! These remind me of the warm ups I did years ago, but then forgot them. I'm really out of practice, would you happen to have some warm ups for lower male registers, too?

[@meganwhitney3911]

My 4 yo daughter wanted to watch this after the Tangled video, and after doing some warm ups she said "hey! My cheek is actually warming up! It's working! Wait, is that what warming up means?" Thanks for a fun morning entertainment and music education!

[@willygabby4823]

Would you consider doing full video/real time lessons? That would be awesome!

[@rooj_the_soul888]

Wow..Thanks

[@DestinyMarie1121]

More, more,more!! Plz :)

[@NiNa-hp6wr]

My voice teacher used to teach me a lot of those :) some were new though

[@shortstack9968]

My music teacher must follow you because she uses most of these :)

[@marilynruggeberg]

Most of these are pretty standard. My Chorus Teacher used alot of these warm ups long before this young lady was born. 😊

[@shortstack9968]

@@marilynruggeberg lol this comment was two years ago 😂 hi

[@natalie2066]

It would be fantastic to have a full sing along video. This moves way too quickly for absolute beginners.

[@AwesomeTinyHobbit]

This is awesome! Do you have any tips for getting vibrato? I've been working on it a ton but I can't seem to get it...

[@DrNiCoH]

Amazing as always Ev ! =D as i said to our Hollens Fam. a month ago i started going to singing classes =) my warm ups are pretty basics for now... but yours are kinda similar (and more complex versions) of some of mine =P aaaanyways... i would really love to see Peter in your channel doing a quick warm up and giving tips to us the males in the family since i cant hit those real high notes as you do xD maybe ***** has another tips and stuff for lower voices =D ^_^ aaanyways =D luv u ! sending my love to all 4 of you ! =D Happy singing ! =D #HollensFamily #VocalWarmUps

[@user-pf8co6or8h]

Could you make a video about vibrato?

[@dragonheartstring3603]

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 ❤️

[@kagomegrrl21]

love you should do wicked

[@MrDanphal]

Thank you so much! You are so good!

[@kissycake13]

I don't do any vocal warms up before i sing because i just sing karaoke in my room but if i ever did karaoke live i probably would my vocal range is a soprano so i can hit good high notes sometimes!

[@chloeavesmoras355]

OHMYGOD I CAN'T WITH THE ZEE YA LOL I SOUND LIKE A DYING GOAT

[@JB-nd1sj]

do you have to use your normal voice when doing the Zee Ee yaa Ahhh Part?

[@autumnpeirson6976]

I used to be in choir and we did lip buzzes, always wondered why my nose started itching.XD

[@gushieplana1818]

Omg me too!

[@ritaboulos471]

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?

[@alyssajones6713]

I’m Snow White in my schools play and I’m nervous about singing. I’ve never really tried to sing solo before

[@einahpetsd8408]

Dear god her lip buzzing is adorable.

[@roxxydiamond2066]

Hi, do you do coaching sessions online?

[@JadeLH]

We used to do something very simple - we did "Poppa had a head like a ping pong ball" which made sure we used lots of diction, it really worked when we did shows!

[@sherbach8799]

I think is my favourite warm up for me...for my voice.

[@scotteishalucas9624]

Ever since I got laryngitis(got it twice) I'm not able to sing high notes I just sound hoarse whenever I try I went from a soprano 2 to Alto

[@Trebletone]

How do you NOT tense when you get into the higher part of your register? I'm really struggling to break through that

[@eatingcookieswithpeanutbutter]

I've always had trouble when it comes to breathing, I feel as if I cannot control it so I just breathe a lot throughout songs when I'm not supposed to

[@nyla-amarasmit8117]

where did all the vlogs go?? i watched 2014 and then now 2015 there only 3???? please help me out where are they? did you stop?? i only find the lessons but nothing anymore????

[@amyhoover9]

I'm not a singer, but if you're looking for helpful ways to warm up your vocals, then perhaps you should allow the gorgeous and talented ***** to coach you on that! :)
