I've never encountered a vocal coach on YT whose virtual teaching style is as empathetic as yours, or who describes the whole physical experience of singing as vividly and accurately as you do. Being a self-taught singer ever since, I become extremely frustrated by that. However, after stumbling upon your videos, I have become more motivated to achieve the highest potential of my voice. Right now, I am learning how to employ the actual proper breathing techniques to singing with your videos. So, I thank you. Madeleine Harvey is my very first vocal coach.

[@kellyireland8444]

Mine too Justine :) I've only just started watching your YT Channel Madeline and as I have the goal to be ready for a music project with a pianist in January of 2021 I was pressed to find a way to truly get my voice limber and ready. I sang in a band for 5 years and often I was left feeling very strained and didn't have much of a speaking voice the morning after. So so grateful for discovering this wonderful plethora of vocal exercises :)

[@margarethale4980]

Effective vocal exercise I can do without irritating my neighbors 😂 Thank you ☀️

[@popjozefina]

Ha ha same here xx

[@madelinebrennan9636]

I'm been a singer for many years but recently needing to strengthen my chops, and you know what you're talking about, lady. Your exercises are so RIGHT ON...i can feel the difference immediately and they get the job done exactly as needed. you're young (compared to this granny ;) but I give it to you--you know what you're doing and are a very gifted teacher (and, I'm sure, singer as well). Thank you!

Excellent lesson. Making the sound come from lower really helped me make my sound more whole and less nasal.

[@sheMessages]

I need to watch this a lot just to be able to start the exercise.. cause every time I hear you passing from de DUDE to the actual song I go 😧 I’m amazed by your talent 🤩

Tightening my belt here today Madeleine. Your ingenious tuition inspires and fires. Lights a new musical and life-enhancing fuse every time. Elvis ‘Love Me Tender’. Those soupy sounds and his theatrical vibrato.

[@arlenec2517]

This was extremely helpful thank you so much I’ve been practicing singing seriously for about a month and I really didn’t know how to improve my belting I felt like my voice was so weak but I tried these exercises and I got so surprise because I could finally do it, it did not sound too well but I expected that now I know how it’s supposed to feel and it didn’t hurt my neck or felt uncomfortable like it usually does thanksss

[@NaturalLuxury]

Omg your dress is fabulous!! You look amazing! Thank you for the incredible content as usual

[@Tasha1284]

Looking gorgeous!

[@xachariahbeauty553]

I’m a beginner & this has proven really helpful from trying it just once!!! Practice will make perfect tho, thank you!

[@poetrypowersprosperity1366]

Xachariah Beauty have you seen her video 'What Your voice says about you'? If not, it's priceless, touched me so deeply, and encouraged me to explore again (after too much hold back). Blessings on your explorations :D

[@MichaelAntus]

Another great video. I've been away, so I missed the last two videos, (I will remedy that as things get back to normal). I learn so much every time. Thank you...

[@bethanyluhrs1263]

Hello! I have just found your videos, and they are great! I am trying to work on belting, and you’ve touched on how to feel the the difference/transition between chest and belt. Would you consider doing a video on finding the difference/transition between your mix an your belt?

[@theresastites6303]

Wow, you are such a light! Thank you for your crystal clarity and awesome instruction. “Dude!”, you are so amazing to give of yourself this way. ❤ 🎶 This mezzo soprano sincerely appreciates you ;-) I will be sure to check out your other videos.

[@elrockstar9476]

Awesome 👏🏻

[@EsenKirkoc]

Amazing video! I am only just getting into singing after growing up hiding my voice as I have been so bad and the dream is to be able to sing this! I'm going to definitely check more of your videos!

[@clasesdecantoydeinglesconm4263]

Floor Jansen singing Shallow (Beste Zangers) you will love that one! Just like the song About love i don't know a thing from Floor Jansen as well! It is so emotional!🙏

Thank you! You are so correct❤️

[@RoosKohn]

Thank you. And i just ave to say. What an elegant outfit

Love your videos!! Super helpful! :)

[@lynnpratt339]

Thank you. That was super helpful

[@hoes3839]

Hi I just love your videos. Do you have any videos focusing on twang?

[@madelinebrennan9636]

the idea of feeling it in your abs--your core--more than anywhere else in the body is so dead on, and it's made me realize how (over the pandemic) that part of my body has weakened, and therefore, my quality belt.

[@hopeshabangu7102]

Thank you this was soooo helpful 😍😍😍😍😊

[@n1kk1cathar1ne]

I’d love to learn how to sing Applause by lady gaga :)

[@adrianaholman9861]

I am having such a hard time. This might be the best one yet.

[@STAR-ej5wb]

Love it

[@Tasha1284]

Also this video helped me tremendously 😯

[@Ottermoonoracle]

Can you break down some grunge singers, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley? Thanks! Loved this video

[@laurena519]

You are amazing! I've been able to follow a lot of your videos with my own training but this one has been difficult. Do you have another video that helps with finding this type of belt? Hitting those notes is hard and would love some techniques to help!

[@christineschueckler7299]

I love your videos, thank you so much! Do you think you could make one on mixed belting sometime? It's what I would most like to learn and what I'm struggling with most :)

[@llov1464]

Can u do the part of lady gaga in song Arizona sky "But all I really know You're where I wanna go The part of me that's you will never die, So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words"

[@Indiia]

Madeleine I love your explanations is always very clear and you making it easy to practice, thank you! By any chance could you do a video explaining how to practice love in the brain from Rihanna? We all missing her in the music the R9 never comes out and I've decided to learn to sing it! It will be more them appreciated my dear. Love from Brazil! ;)

[@Nobody-ev6cl]

Hey, this is super helpful. I can’t do a tongue trill though. Any pointers?

[@joharikostlich4899]

You are so nice and sweet! Your lessons are the best💗 Btw you kinda look like Joyce Byers 😅

[@parkerdarkerr]

Love Theo outfit

[@danni_jayne]

now this really made my diaphragm burn haha - thank you! great video!

[@dani.cross678]

Hi, I have the occasional singing lesson but not very experienced so at a beginner level. Wondering if you could create a Monday to Sunday/day by day/step by step video so that I can practice specific exercises each day of the week to improve my voice over time. I love your videos but I don’t really know where to start or what the most important things to do to strengthen my voice up are. So if you could create this weekly programme or recommend me certain videos of yours in particular then I’d be extremely grateful!!!!😊

[@bethanyblake8652]

amazing !

[@barbragreen2513]

Thank you! I just wanted to know if in the future you could address what happens with belting if the singer can’t reach that higher note. Or, if you do technique correctly, does this mean that you could sing any note in a song no matter how high.? Thanks! Wonderful videos.

[@sunnyandbuilder189]

which videos should i start with if im beginner? love your content!

[@noemimartinez8127]

yes Kim Walkers - Protecter from the album Wildheart

[@bomanhansson]

Thank you! Could you break down Sammy Raes Good Life or Kick It to Me?

[@johnlow2090]

Nice and I l like it. Any chance you could also teach singing Lukas Graham's songs like You're Not There?

[@jamieredden554]

I'm more confused than I was at the beginning of this one. I am a church pianist/vocalist and would love to see how you would do church type music

[@joemike5118]

Muffle.. My saliva are all over the place 😂😂😂😂

[@audreyxarias]

Her: dudeeeeee Me: dudeeeee also me: ok not bad Her: IM ON A DEEP END (doing it so good) Me: :000

[@anngarcia2637]

Love the exercise! I have a couple questions. Is there a way to improve tongue trilling? I can trill with the back of my tongue but that seems too gutteral. How can I work on the front? Also, is there anything I can do to clear that early morning frog out of my throat? I cantor for a 7:30 am Mass, and really struggle sometimes. Thanks for any advice you can give.

[@amyevans3825]

I struggle with tongue and lip trilling too - I still have air but the trill just stops...

[@magdaduarte535]

@@amyevans3825 I struggle with it too. I seem to get tired too soon!

[@miljasmiljkovic4287]

Than you!!!

[@trishataylor2488]

Wow thank you Madeline I'm learning so quickly from you! Okay so... I love old school and there is a Righteous Brothers song Unchained Melody. There is that one belt on the word mine in the sentence..." are you still ....MINE I'm not quite sure how to belt that word out.

[@madyb2098]

Can you break down the song and give out tips of advise how to sing i dream a dream for Les miserable’s please!!!!!

[@karimaelfillali3442]

BJORK - Bachelorette !!! Would love a video on this

[@pandasandmore1322]

Can you please do a video on how to sing dead mom from Beetlejuice that would really help me a lot

[@lisajeanpatterson7722]

I wonder if there is a connection between people who can roll their tongues well and singing with a great belting voice? I cant roll my tongue very well and have a hard time with belting vocally.

[@ellenbuunk-kampers1603]

Extremely helpful on working on musculature. But I truly have no idea how to do a tongue trill. Let alone whilst huffing and puffing. Can you please explain, Madeline? Thank you from Ellen from The Netherlands

[@edaerdogan971]

I felt a little pressure/ fatigue under my jaw after this exercise, what can I do to fix it? Or what can be the reason behind it? 🤔 Thanks. By the way, you look extra gorgeous in this video 💕

[@TheGrowlingLady]

Could you please do a rock-style belting tutorial 👀 for those more gritty vocals

[@lovehealthgratitude]

I literally said, "What the...?!" 😂 I'm light headed. Laying down, still trying this...
