Baritenor Singing Warm Up - Full Range - Comprehensive

[@drewfontaine2891]

Q: Who's the best singing instructor on KZbin? A: 3:28 Thanks so much for this warmup, Jeff. I'm right in that baritenor zone, so I'm loving it.

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much for that! I love it! Thanks for watching, thanks for subscribing! Best, Jeff

[@lesconsomateurs974]

3 years of instruction. Today i can sing all of my favorite song

[@mantissings]

Did you attend the U of Chicago Music School?

[@JoyRouge]

🙏🙌 the many lives of Baritenors you've touched! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Without any further ado at 0:48 😉 Thanks Jeff! 🐯

[@adriandavies7896]

As a Hendletenor very helpful, Perhaps a long held high notes exercise in the near future . great work all round Thank you

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent! Glad it’s working for you!

[@JackReacherification]

Thanks a lot Jeff! I was really looking forward to this lesson. The lessons for the tenor were too high for me and too low for the baritone. But this one for Baritenor fits perfectly into my vocal range) Thank you very much! With love from Russia.

[@JeffRolka]

You're welcome! Enjoy! Jeff

[@prezakid9]

As a baritenor myself, I greatly appreciate you posting this. It is helping my singing considerably.

[@jefftayloralive]

Thank you so much for this incredible warmup - it's challenging, theraputic, and just overall badass. CHEERS

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you! I appreciate it! Jeff

[@Meravion]

Awesome, this video does it for me. I can do baritone and tenor warmups from your channel, but the notes below G2 are uncomfortable, and in the tenor warmup a4 and above feels uncomfortable.

[@destroyerofworlds938]

Thank you so much Jeff! Here’s some feedback you probably you didn’t expect, but your videos have been supporting my voice through a gender transition! I used to be a soprano and singing is extremely important to me. When I started testosterone and my vocal cords started changing I was determined not to lose the joy of singing. Your videos have given my new voice strength!

[@JeffRolka]

That's awesome! I am so happy to hear that the videos have been useful and supportive in that time! I wish you all the best in your continued practice and success! Thank you for watching, keep singing, and thank you for subscribing! Best, Jeff

[@AirRhodes]

That’s why I’m here too! :)

[@danielborealis3161]

hey me too!

[@jj53368]

This is so awesome! ❤ Thanks for sharing 🥹

[@stylembonkers1094]

There's no such thing as gender transition. One cannot become one's own opposite sex, end of story. No advance on this original problem is made by calling it "gender" instead of sex. There is no such gender as being one's own opposite gender. People who pander to your mental illness are not your friends, they are weak and don't care about you. The ones who care about you are the ones who will tell you the truth.

[@StephenFearingMusic]

1 year later and I have returned to this warm up after working several others daily - and y'know what? I can now navigate those fast trills fairly accurately. I love your warm ups. Thanks!

[@carwashslayer4235]

I love listening to all the scales being played

[@bradsmith354]

Thanks Jeff. 66 + and have learned the harmonica quite well. In bands and open mics, having a ball. Now I have decided to try singing... I quit in my teens when my voice changed and girls and sports took over. I have gravitated to you exercises and feel improvement. So much better than hearing others mainly talk and lecture. You have the right formula for me. Thanks a bunch.

[@divaenvy]

I've been doing this warm-up for about a year now. It has helped me tremendously and I so appreciate your video tutorials. Many thanks.

[@Princis-music]

Thanks for being part of my baritone journey Jeff, I love your relaxed way of being and your dry humor it's very contagious. Also, it's very impressive that you play all the scales on the piano, it earnes you my respect. Keep being you Jeff, and thanks for creating awesome warm ups.

[@austinhall2933]

I second this!

[@Big_Duckie_Snow]

Best baritenor workout ever! It had all the highs I needed, and all the lows...notes, of course :) Keep up the great work, Jeff. You knocked another lesson out of the park!

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent!!! That's what I'm trying to do! Jeff

[@AshRavens]

Thank you Jeff, this is awesome!! Really appreciate all that you do for us. Is there any chance you could do a 15-min version of a Bartienor warm up as well? Thanks again.

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent! You're welcome! Yes, I'm just getting started with this! I'll do them in varying lengths. Thanks for watching! Jeff

[@dj.crooner]

Dear Maestro, happy new year and thanks a lot for this amazing warm up!!! Yes, we baritenors, were waiting! Thanks again! Abrazo from Buenos Aires!!!

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you Dario! Happy New Year to you too! Enjoy! Jeff

[@davidgrc5549]

Thanks Jeff, great videos! I'd like to have a video about the most common mistakes we, KZbin learners, are likely to do while trying to exercice our voice with your videos. I mean, if we are doing things bad, the more we work out the worse we get, rather than the opposite! Thanks again!

[@JeffRolka]

Great idea! Thank you for subscribing, and thank you for the Super Thanks support! I can totally make that video - on the production schedule as of now! Thank you again! Jeff

[@_henry_enrique_]

This is PERFECT for my voice and range!

[@Scott_Liedtke]

Have not even made it through a minute into this video and I saved it and liked it LETS GO!!!!! You so awesome Jeff!🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Thank you very much! Enjoy and let me know how you get on with it! Best, Jeff

[@jefftayloralive]

Mr. Jeff Rolke it is IMPORTANT that I leave this comment: As a subscriber to your page, I benefit GREATLY from the warmups and other videos you post. Big fan of the content, big recipient of HELP and guidance from you, Sir. - JT

[@jasondotj]

As always, Jeff, much appreciate the Baritenor warm-ups. My favorite exercise of yours is the oo-ee exercises you have in a lot of your warm-ups. :)

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much Jason! Glad you're enjoying the baritenor practices! I need to shoot more! Best, Jeff

[@santoshrajkumar]

Thank you soo much, Jeff. I've used your warm up for my rehearsals and it made a huge difference to both my singing and confidence for my gig tomorrow. I hope the gig goes as well as the rehearsal though, am super nervous, but you gave me support like few other could, so yes, thanks again!

[@JeffRolka]

Fantastic!

[@calderlevine7489]

This is my favourite of yours yet! Thanks Jeff!

[@JeffRolka]

That's great! Enjoy and thanks for being here! Jeff

[@delwoodbarker]

Thanks, as always, for your warmups. I use them to prepare for recording. When lessons come back, my teachers will notice my progress, thanks to your videos.

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and thanks for singing along! Best! Jeff

[@robinwilson8165]

Enjoying your recent videos and discovered this during the winter surge in Covid when choral singing was not advised. (I'm 80 and so have to be careful) My choirmaster has finally admitted that Baritenor is a valid voice type!

[@jamesk8s1]

I've benefited from your other baritone warm up routines for years, just found this one today and it is AWESOME!! thank u very much!! 🙆🏻‍♂

[@RobertMorcroft]

Absolutely fantastic warm up Jeff! Just what I needed. Thank you so much 😊

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent! Thank you! Enjoy! Best! Jeff

[@danramblesrawk]

I practice to this almost every morning on my way to work and it’s added a few notes to my top end. Thanks 🙏

[@JeffWatson-lq9in]

Jeff, the baritenor warmup is amazing. I've been singing acapella four-part (SATB) harmony all my life, always tenor. BUT, I feel I've never been tenor "enough" to do justice to singing in a sustained way over the secondo passaggio. And while I do have a fairly decent lower range, I certainly can't pull off the bass part. Baritenor is the perfect solution to my lifelong quandary. Thank you for bringing the baritenor range out of the closet.

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome!!! So glad that including that range is proving helpful! Enjoy! More to come! Best! Jeff

[@rscott1120]

Thanks Jeff. Fits the bill perfectly for a “2nd” tenor who need to sing lower notes when leading congregational singing.

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent! Thank you for subscribing! More of these are on the way! Jeff

[@stephenonomo4416]

Thanks a lot for this video. As a baritenor singer, I need a lot of help.

[@A.JayWeber]

WE GETTIN INTO IT this year Jeff. Not stopping till I have the singing voice of 40,000 Baby Angels

[@JeffRolka]

I like it! Send a link so I can listen sometime. You'll have to do it through the website www.jeffrolka.com/connect-2 Keep rockin! Jeff

[@chrispinelli]

Great video! Definitely another one to the rotation. As a tenor without much of a low range this will help.

[@campbellbass2614]

Loved it, very enjoyable! I recently moved from Baritone exercises to Tenor as I needed to work on my higher register to perform some new material. After experimenting I have strengthened my range comfortably and this NEW Baritenor is a delight to work with. Thanks Jeff 👏👏

[@JeffRolka]

Wonderful!

[@richardhuntingmusic]

Thanks a lot for the warmup for this voice type. I haven't seen other people do warmups for baritenors so I'm really glad you did it. I wasn't quite sure if I'm a baritenor before I did this great warmup of yours but now I'm sure thanks to this video. When I just started singing at 14, I was told by my vocal teachers that I'm a bass baritone but it didn't feel right because my voice never cracked growing up, it just lowered in pitch from a low Tenor I think. That's when I really worked very hard on my voice and increased my range on my own. Over several years I was able to built my high range and it started fiting standard baritone range and then got higher than that and my speaking and singing voice got higher as well. That's why my voice and range became a misfit in the male voice type classification. My voice is not as high as tenor but it's higher than a baritone. It feels good to discover that there is a name for my voice type as well such as "baritenor" even though it's not official. After some researching, I realized that some people also refer to it as high baritone, lyric baritone, baritone with some tenor notes or baritone with some high notes up the sleeve or like you mentioned in your other video a tenor that didn't transition.

[@songbird547]

I been practicing with You Jeff for 3 years Straight i just want you too know I'm a professional opera singer as a high Tenor because of You i can easily do four octives from top too bottom thank you so much my good friend Jeff sincerly yours Thomas😊😊😊

[@Nathan0knapp]

Thank you Jeff! My voice feels so much stronger now

[@Privatex112]

YES!@ Thank you. I love your series of videos. I am so happy you show your hands on the piano now so I can also learn these exercises on piano (or bass guitar) and do them offline if needed.

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent! Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

[@StephenFearingMusic]

Thanks Jeff, this is a challenging one - the last 5 minutes made me realise where I need to work. As stated below - challenging therapeutic and badass.

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Thank you for that! Thanks also for subscribing!

[@StephenFearingMusic]

@@JeffRolka Yes - worked on it again today and found the same issues. The last two exercises - (starting at 22.19) I find the OO -EE-OO-EE easier but the EEEE-AAAAAA-AHHHHHHHHHH harder to articulate.Where should I go to concentrate on learning how to articulate those quick notes better so they don't slur together... I sound like a cop car in an old black and white movie !😏

[@Keviekev115]

Love how you get right to the point

[@QHG415]

This is great. Def gonna be using this as a go-to warm up. Thank you!

[@professorteatimeshiddengar8985]

Hi Jeff, I’d like some more Baritenor stuff. I’ve been working on my voice with your help for a couple of years now. I started with the gentle baritone warm up and just kept working it. My range has been increasing. Now I am carefully adding (some) of the tenor warm ups. The baritenor range may describe me. Ir maybe the “medium” voice. I’m not too hung up about bass/baritone/baritenor/tenor classifications. The only real thing I can guarantee about my voice is that it’s my voice, and I’m having fun developing it. btw, I did subscribe, like and patreon you. I’d feel stingy if I hadn’t.

[@JeffRolka]

Hello! I can promise that there will be more baritenor videos coming! Thank you for all your support, subscribing, liking, and patreon! I really appreciate it! I don't know that you intended to ask a question, but you've brought up a lot of points in your comment that I feel we could all benefit from thinking about it. I'm going to talk about them in Questions from Comments 33! Thank you! Jeff

[@professorteatimeshiddengar8985]

@@JeffRolkaPerhaps the comment is less a question and more of a 'Thank You'. Your videos and using them almost daily has. made a great difference in my voice. I'll show up for my weekly lesson and my teacher will ask if I've warmed up. Answer is always 'Yes', because I used one of your videos a few hours before the lesson.

[@user-fn7en2tw7h]

Ah, thank you!!! This was incredible!!

[@posic3073]

Towards the ending of the second half of these exercises, I realized I am more bari than tenor. But I’m sure I can train myself using your videos to be more comfortable to hit those up notes shown later in the video. Thank you

[@JeffRolka]

Exactly. You have a say in your training and how you develop. Richard Miller states as much in the early parts of 'Training Tenor Voices'.

[@nnorth__]

Using this warmup to prepare for my choir auditions its great

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Break a leg!

[@nnorth__]

I got into the jazz choir and I have been using your warm ups for a year they are the best thank you for your amazing content @@JeffRolka

[@ianorr9572]

Hey Jeff, long time viewer first time commenter here. Might you consider doing a lesson based on various vocal effects that contemporary vocalists use (distortion/rasp, squeal, scream)? Many of us have only heard these sounds after they've been processed and gone through the implementation of various mic use techniques. It would be extremely helpful, to me at least, to hear what these techniques sound like before processing etc so as to get a sense of what we're shooting for when trying to replicate these sounds in our daily routines. Cheers and a happy new year to you and yours

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you Ian! I'll give it some thought, and I have some recommendations around practicing those effects, but in truth, actually using those colorations is not something that I personally practice. That being said, I'll give it some thought and either address in a Q&A video or do a tutorial on it. Best, Jeff

Happy New Year! …and welcome to the Year of the Baritenor (I just made it official). This is such a beautifully constructed sequence of practices for my performance range (which has yet to go above A4), where notes below D3 can feel more spoken than sung and, frankly, are inclined to go flat. A great start to a great year, thank you!

[@davidwalsh944]

I am looking forward to your take on voice classification with respect to tenors and baritones. Classification is calling different things the same name. (amazing the things one has read that come back to haunt you)

[@AshRavens]

I would also love to see one where the high note goes up to C5 to cover the 'baritenor' range, if that's possible Jeff.

[@JeffRolka]

Thanks for mentioning it - there are a fair degree of c5's in the tenor extended range videos if you want to practice in that range, but those videos will not cover the lower areas. Here are a few, give them a try and let me know what you think: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX65fZeEhNickNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPanKp5nM-GmdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaOtlKZ3hK2iZ5I Best! Jeff
