Full Range Singing Warm Up - Baritone

Sir I have been doing all my vocal warmups via your videos past three years. I've been to many gigs and even performend on local stages. It's been a long while since I last wrote down a comment to remind you how much I appreciate your efforts and how you share your knowledge. Do please know that even though I've never met you in person I respect you so much and you are a true mentor & teacher to me. I always remember to share & mention your channel to my friends who are interested in singing. Thank you so much for everything Mr. Rolka.

Couldn’t have said it any better, he’s truly a blessing

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate it!! I'm glad that these videos are serving you so well, and I hope that they will continue to do so! Enjoy, and keep gigging! Jeff

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

Jeff doesn't know or remember me, but I have met and talked to him when he used to live in the Bay Area is he is a nice gentleman.

[@choumeuil9386]

I've just discover your lessons 2 days ago. They really encourage me to go back singing. You're the best vocal trainer I saw on youtube at that point. 😊 JC from France

[@6lackhart]

Jeff you always come through for me when I feel like I’m losing my singing voice

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Happy to be here! Glad to help!

[@JohnSproule-z1r]

Hey Jeff, Once again a really good warm up. Thank you for hitting the whole range from low D to high G. This happens to me a lot during warm ups. Something interrupts... It's a phone call, or someone at the door or, when almost anything. I return to the warm up and was I singing May-ah-oh or Ee-ay-oo? Dunno. Just a thought, you could put a little text at the bottom of such warm ups "May-ah-oh" (or even the international phonetic versions of the 5 major English vowels). If you are REALLY a glutton for work they could highlight as you go through them, but that would be a huge amount of dog work. Again thank you for the great warm up. I find they have made a vast difference in my singing practice, and I find them essential for working on the repertoire I am now tackling. All the Best!

[@Mari_volta]

Me too! Hahah

[@antjone]

Much appreciated - I use the warm up videos in the car. A boring hour-long journey is suddenly a great vocal workout! Bluetooth on phone to car bluetooth - easy!

[@NamasteBeloved]

This is my favorite exercise yet! I found this particularly perfect for my voice. Thank you so much Jeff for your love and dedication and creating these videos, you have dramatically enhanced my singing in such a positive way. Thank you.

[@JeffRolka]

Wonderful! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@mikenewey3949]

Good to see the Lava lamp in full flow! Heralds another great video! Thanks Jeff

[@JeffRolka]

I do so love the lava lamp! Thank you!

[@MikeIppolitogroove35]

Echoed by many here, and rightfully so... You've been such an integral part of my singing cultivation over the years Jeff. As always, I'm very grateful. Thank you sir!

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that! May the videos serve you well in perpetuity!

[@vorpywastaken]

Jeff I am indebted to you, I am under a recovery from a surgery six month ago, doctor said I will never sing again, but your vocal warmups proved him wrong. I am well on my way to sing again. It hurts, but I'm pushing through it. I am forever grateful. Thank you, Jeff Rolka.

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much! Keep at it and all the best for a speedy and full recovery!

[@wojciech4708]

My voice is finally developed to verdi baritone A1-A5 or Acontra to a2lines. Thank you Mr Jeff for Your hard work, because You had making a lot videos which had helping when learning singing. Have a good day to You Mr and all readers.

[@leonelherrera4413]

Love you man the way you teach for the novice thank you soo much!

[@JeffRolka]

Big love right back at you!

[@jimk1164]

Thanks for going down to D2 but not C2, C2 has been my nemesis (I can't get enough volume out of it). This video is my new favorite.

[@gideonasumeng1328]

Thank you so very much for this tutorial. Singing, the voice, is a full body experience.

[@outrunthis]

I am a student at Berklee college of music and I am learning how to sing and discover my voice; this exercises are very helpful At 22:19, my favorite part, I felt the difference. Thank you Jeff 👏🏽👏🏽

[@JeffRolka]

Wonderful! Enjoy your time at Berklee!!!

[@frankrepasi7088]

Dear Jeff, I find this exercise so very helpful for my transition, and the limited interrupted commentary allows me to follow your excellent piano direction , so I can focus on the perfect pitch. I am interested in more videos like this. Thank You .

[@JeffRolka]

Will do! Thank you for your kind words!

[@FreddieBruhin-Price]

thanks jeff!! this is a fantastic warmup it will be helping me prepare for a gig tomorrow and today. I really enjoy your laidback style and minimal chatter, and your warmups and tutorials are helping me develop my voice a day at a time. jeff. you are a legend

Thanks Jeff

[@Andrew-fm7pw]

London calling!! Thank you Jeff that was a tremendous session, very grateful. I think I sang some of it rather than just doing what you were saying. I will work on keeping this practice vocally and egotistically simpler. Also the word, engagement, urgently intrigued excited to know more what it is, achieve what it is, having found out..!! Now to work on something gentle and a health dose of Mr Purcell - The Cold Song - from King Arthur. Tremendous piece. Tremendous peace. Your sessions are actually benefiting my voice instrument. They and you cheer greatly. Thank-you . Love To All, from midnight London. Andrew

[@JorisS-j4v]

Hi Jeff thank you so much for these baritone warmup videos, they are my routine every morney and they give me relaxation and awareness while in classes I am always stressed and pushing. One question: the lip trill I get out of air by the end of it, is this normal? Maybe wrong technique?

[@JeffRolka]

Losing air near the end of the lip trill is usually related to how well or poorly your vocal folds are adducting. I would start there! Thank you for being here and thanks for watching! I'm sorry to hear about your stress! That will have an impact on your lip trill, btw, if those two things are happening at the same time re: stress and losing air at the end of a lip trill phrase.

Without any further ado at 0:47 😉 Thanks Jeff! 🐯

[@jonahspear4716]

This is great! Thank you. I find my vocal tone shifts dramatically and becomes much more hollow sounding when passing over the secundo passagio. Do you have any video with information on how to address this? I am already using the breath support technique you teach in the AAA method and am wondering what else I can do.

[@JeffRolka]

Good work. I talk about that all the time. Keep going. Record yourself and listen back after a day or two. There is a difference between what you hear in your head and what is coming out of your mouth. If you really wanted to get into it, it's part of my High Note Bootcamp.

[@Brutalchrist]

22:15 🦇🖤

[@sampsonz]

If I'm able to follow everything but the lowest 1 or 2 notes that doesn't really matter right? I know ranges aren't so fixed but I don't think it'd be a sign to go up...

[@AustinSkysLive]

You will get better with time

[@JeffRolka]

If by notes you mean keys, then that is fine. Just skip those keys or switch to the lip trill if that works. There isn't just one kind of 'baritone' voice, and these videos are meant to cover the greatest variety of baritone voices that is reasonable.

[@AswantKumar]

I owe Jeff a lot❤ hope to repay atleast a little soon🛐🙏🏽 from India

[@SMPBoom]

Good day Jeff! I am coming to you with a question, you might have answered it in a Q&A of yours or somewhere else, but I was wondering how could i get rid of hoarseness in my voice after I've done vocal practices after a while. I tend to get a minimum of 1hr up to 1.45hrs of vocal practices a day, ever since I began practicing I've quickly started to get them, now over 1.5yrs later I have created a routine where I try to spread my practices all across the day so the voice gets a break before I practice again otherwise 20-25 mins later I feel the hoarse feeling in my throat, most of the time at the end of the day where I do my final vocals the feeling has become quite strong and I no longer can sing. Is there anything you could recommend me? I have a true passion for music and soon enough I expect myself to start releasing my own music, but come the time to record I no longer am able to sing like I would expect to! Thank you in advance, you truly have changed my vocal strenght and endurance with these practices and I hope that soon enough I will be able to thank you in other ways than just commenting my appreciation!

[@JeffRolka]

I'm sorry to hear that you're getting hoarse! I'll answer your question in Questions from Comments 50!

[@SMPBoom]

@@JeffRolka Okay thank you!

[@AustinSkysLive]

Sounds like your pushing and straining too much. You may also be under hydrated. Try being ligher on the noyes, not going so high/low and not pushing as much. Humm moreee!! Also drink a LOT OF WATER.

[@SMPBoom]

@@AustinSkysLive Thank you for your advice, I do believe I have been pushing alot, i’ve started to focus on my techniques more(larynx lowering, raising the soft pallete, engaging lower abs, attention on solar plexus), on the second day while focusing on these things felt a nice improvement, but now again I cant seem to get theough exercises that go above chest voice, as my voice begins to fatigue, and I’m getting truly frustrated with it, I cannot get to singing, most of the songs I love and sing use alot of belting, I have chosen to take 1-2 days off starting tmrw, to give myself and the voice a break. Do some more research and maybe I can get myself on the right track, I have songs that I have written that I can’t get to recording and it bothers me alot since now I have created a situation where I can just do music all day long for a couple of months, but me not having a voice really fucks things up. Ive tried sequences jumping between different types of practices but can’t fix my issues… Im really struggling to create a perfect practice routine where I can perfect every section of my voice… And I am drinking quite a lot of water since I am currently on carnivore diet and that’s the only thing I can drink, before I barely drank water choosing sugary beverages over it. I’m afraid I might also be fucking up my breathing with my gym routine since I am on a body builder program working out 5-6 times a week.

[@AustinSkysLive]

@@SMPBoom Less is more. I had a vocal injury, they told me i would never be able to sing and still learned how to sing. If i can do it, you can too.Try singing less then 90 minutes a day and only hum for a while. It sounds like your straining super hard and hurting yourself due to bad tequnique...
