This warm up is meant to be pretty comprehensive in what it covers. Starts off easily enough with a five note scale. Proceeds on to one of my favorite tone balancing exercises and eventually covers the upper register in a number of exercises including tonal onsets that are over the secondo passaggio (the break.)
Finishes up with a lovely melismatic minor chord cool down to settle your voice down for your songs!
Enjoy!

There's something very special about this warm up in particular! For we highly anxious types (present!) this one REALLY helps to open up the voice, which helps to bring anxiety about being heard/projecting etc waaaay down! Big thank you as always, Jeff for this excellent warm up!

[@JoschC]

Reading this in 2024 and I 100% agree!

[@VelvetOrchyd]

These warm-ups are way cooler than others out there. I actually have fun doing them. I find these warm-ups much more melodic. Some warm-ups out there are cheesy and they feel like exercises. With these I actually feel like I am singing while warming up.😆

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent! Thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words. Scales of all varieties form the foundations of our melodies and songs, I certainly do my best to make the patterns as melodic and fluid as I can. I certainly play them feeling that they are music, and not only a precursor to music. I am glad that that comes through! Thank you again! Enjoy the channel! Jeff

[@Quasar357]

Although I'm really a Tenor, doing this Alto routine daily has help me tremendously, Thank you Maestro!!!!

[@katarzynaszyffer2217]

Cool! What kind of progress do you feel? :)

[@imcarlossanz]

I feel the same way Jeff, I was struggling to find the placement for my falsetto and higher head voice. I spent a lot of time working on the tenor range but after working with this videos for alto for 3 days my voice feels like its permanently warmed up even my speaking voice is beginning to sound different. Definitely helps stretching to the alto range

[@Quasar357]

@@katarzynaszyffer2217 sorry missed your comment, I used to pull my chest voice as high as I could, compensating for lack of a mixed voice, now it's a bit easier I've developed the feel and sound of a mixed voice, even my falsetto sounds a lot thicker...

[@EdreiiPuuerto]

Me too! I actually use Alto and Mezzo excercises, I think they suit me better

[@betsyfuentes7030]

God! that good. Especially the ending, it was so therapeutic. Thank you for such a valuable contribution.

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you! I appreciate that! Jeff

[@jaleaseturner2432]

I've been doing these exercises everyday for a about a week now and can see the improvements. This has been really good for my alto range and learning to control my instrument. Thanks Jeff!

[@Johvo]

Every morning I look for one of your videos and sing along while making breakfast... Thank you so much! you are great! Greetings from Colombia!

[@heatherelsley2998]

Beautiful Ending...very relaxing 😌

[@iunastudio]

everyday i warm up my voice using your videos, thank you so so so much, they've helped me a lot!

Heading into a live to air on our national broadcaster I remembered this warm up. So gooooood and rounded

[@albe1755]

Hello Jeff, after 2 1/2 half years I finally write a comment! ;D I was singing in choir and it was fun, but I had problems. I was flat singing most of the time. I was singing Bass-Baritone. Than I found your baritone videos and it became a bliss to me. I became better and better .. Some day it was too boring for me and I tried the Tenor range videos. Omg, this was so damn struggling for me in the higher parts/secondo passaggio! :) I practiced a lot of your Tenor range videos and I'm became better still.. Since 2 months I practice (almost daily) your Alto range videos. To check how far can I go with my head voice. And it has really (REALLY) imroved! My head voice become stronger and doesen't sound breathy anymore. I'm little bit cracking still at the secondo passaggio by the Alto range - Ah, Ay, Oo vowles pretty hard for me. But today I made it almost perfect. I will keep working on it. Mabye someday I will reach the Mezzo-Soprano range?! :D To make it short, thanks for your videos! I'm lucky that I found it. Yeah, I'm a fan of your videos. Thanks for your time and to share these with US! And I think they helped a lot of people they have fun to sing - like I do. Nice regards! :)

[@JeffRolka]

Fantastic! Great work vocalizing nearly every day! That kind of discipline in your practice will continue to yield great results! Thank you so much for watching and keep it up! Best! Jeff

[@Night-Shade.]

How long did it take to expand your vocal range? And how did you do it? It will help me a lot.

[@Rqs79]

Although I'm a first tenor, I'm actually surprised that I can actually hit alto notes. The exercise is helpful for me because I'm auditioning for a local choir soon

[@coralyn4931]

2 Weeks ago I started doing your singing warm ups daily or at least every other day (I was never interested in singing until I was 20, I'm 21 now) and in the beginning my highest note I could hit in my chest voice was G4 - today I hit C5!! I hit it at the exercise at 14:50 😊 Still a long way to go and I am propably going to take singing lessons soon, but it's such a big improvement for me. Thank you so much! :)

[@JeffRolka]

That is awesome!

[@krisse9906]

Thank you for this! Everyday I warmup with your alto videos, and they’re so helpful 😊

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome!!! So glad to hear that they are useful for you! Enjoy! Jeff

[@carolekemayou975]

Such an amazing workout, my throat don’t feel tense at all and I can sing all the note, I’ve been looking for this for a long time ,THANK YOU🤩🤩🤩

[@MandyCummins]

Man I forgot how much I enjoyed that minor key low register palette cleaner at the end of this warm up, Jeff!

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you, Mandy! Always nice to see you pop up!

[@Cardering501]

I and my entire choir do your warmups regularly as a prep for liturgical singing. Are you able to do any warmups for the singer whose vowels need to have those really precise classical mouth shapes and more unmodified or closed, pure vowel sounds? So thankful for your contributions, I don’t go anywhere else now and will check out your Patreon! Always appreciate your relaxed soothing voice too. Thank you Jeff!

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much and much gratitude to the choir for singing a-long with me and the exercises! I'll give it some thought! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Hotdog_21]

I am so thankful for these warm up exercises because, it help me lessen my tone-deaf ness and also improve my voice as an alto vocalist 😊😊😊😊

[@chrisjholtz1531]

4:04 "short note short breath" is really a great exercise... I guess it's"singing with the diaphragm" as some people say...but the breath control you can get is remarkable. this Alto warm up are cool for getting agility on the tenor upper register. Bravo maestro! 🎶🎹🎤

This one’s a bit challenging for me. I’m taking lessons privately and we talk about mouth placement and tongue positioning a lot. Super challenging lesson here

[@keegimujaltold1454]

I'm glad to find these videos and I am going to practice with them, but could you write the names of the notes in subtitles, so that I know what exactly to sing? I'm not good at recognising notes by ear, but if I knew what notes those should be, I would do the exercises with my tuner, to make sure it's right.

[@robhunter6575]

[@ncthomasification]

Thank you for all your help! For the one octave scales, i find that once I have to go into my mixed or head voice, I lose ALL power and control!! It's quite extreme, do you have any tips to strengthen this area, or is it just practice practice practice

[@JeffRolka]

Kind of, but it would be wise to make sure you're practicing correctly. If you want power up there, you need balance, and that means achieving a balanced transition across the secondo passaggio that allows the vocal fold to remain adducted. Focus on that and the power and control will come. Jeff

[@ncthomasification]

Thank you!
