[@fortunatekashambe9796]

I'm getting there

[@chadguindon6909]

Funny thing for me is this....I started singing when I was a HS student and I was totally against the whole idea itself. A couple years after I graduated, I started training my voice how to riff and it wasn't easy. I gradually learned how to do it throughout my 20s. I'm now in my mid 30s and I'm still trying to perfect them. I live in a small city and no other singers do it.

[@melimusiclessons]

Chad Guindon thanks so much for telling me your story ! Just keep going ! 💪

[@yolysostre5489]

same!!

[@Lykke_stardust]

Thank you for this exercise 😊 love your vibe 💫 I tend to sing “wow” of “woh” instead of “oh”. Will it still have the same effect or should I really concentrate to sing oh instead?

[@3minutesoffootball932]

I'm learning this hope it will help me. 😯

Hi Mel .. I am Rakesh kumar. I like the way you teach in your videos. I need help to guide me how to sing .

[@giuliii03]

I got so much better at runs!!

[@TSimpson8511]

When I’m doing the oh oh oh and I get to the high parts should my voice be lifting or should it be staying the same tone but higher if you know what I’m saying? I find what I’m trying to get to the higher notes doing that exercise. My voice automatically wants to lift to head level if that makes sense.

[@geoffbanks6197]

love it but … can't hear the two 11's at the end!

[@mek059]

When you say tada is that a head voice or chest voice?

[@mouljandy6382]

myyoutu I think She sing in her mixed voice

[@serenaprendergast8750]

Is it important to stay in chest voice when reaching the higher notes? I go into my head voice but I’m not sure if that’s as effective at achieving a higher register.

[@melimusiclessons]

Serena Prendergast the wonderful thing about our vocal chords and our registers is you can actually use both, chest and head voice. It depends on the sound you wanna go for. If you want to belt more then you use your mix voice ( combination of chest and head )

[@marydelosreyesdelosreyes3837]

Paano po pagtigtog ng nota ng warm up?paano paglipat ng nota pagtaas ng noya?

[@christianleetrager4605]

Hi Thanks for the video. It would be helpful if you said what scale, pitches, or intervals you are playing. Are you simply playing the first five pitches of the major scale, that is: root, major 2nd, major 3, perfect 4th, and perfect 5th, which is the do-re-mi-fa-so? Starting where? Thanks.

[@melimusiclessons]

Christian Lee Trager hi ! Thanks for your inquiry . I go through all 24 scales starting usually on A. So if A ( major ) is the root , im doing: A-B-C#C#-D-EE-D-C#C#-B-AA . So yes playing the first five notes of the scale. Hopefully that works !

[@amezingvideos6580]

I want to copy the voice of micheal Jackson Tell me how will I copy his high range voice please please please

[@melimusiclessons]

Amezing Videos 369 hi ! Thanks for contacting me ! . It’s ok to learn from the best ! Make sure you develop your high register to get those awesome high notes !

[@nitrogen1594]

[@sherlockholmes7770]

[@Torsdagskvallsmys]

Its so wierd. When i sing in mobile mic it sounds so mutch better then it does in my headset mic. Can someone please explaine this for me?

[@melimusiclessons]

coolbeans maybe your headset mic doesn’t work properly ? Or as good ? That happens to me with some headset mics

[@sarahanas]

What are the notes to the piano exercise

[@melimusiclessons]

Dana Richards hi ! I go up and down , but if you’re in C position it’s : C-D-EE-F-GG-F-EE-D-CC. Hope that helps !

[@gearo999]

The first riff starts on 2. From a major scale 2-1-2-3-4-3-2. Singing over a chord it would be a minor riff if you make the 2 the root note. Right?

[@himansugoswami2771]

Hello I'm from India and I want to learn your music so please help me how I start
