Lip Trills Warm Up Exercise (The Right Way)

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thank you for watching. Let me know how you enjoyed the exercise. As I said in the video, practice in your comfortable range first.

[@anthonypierce1677]

Thank you for your video on lip trills. Unfortunately I find lip or tongue trills impossible to do. Is there an alternative, possibly the V sound?

[@deniecemcgavin5919]

Thank you so much. You’re the only one that could help me…and it has been taking me days/lots of videos.

[@sunitaarvindghate9563]

I love practicing my lip trills with you. In accident I lost my high range voice and I am very nervous. Singing is my passion and I hope I will get my high range voice back. Your videos are amazing and easy to follow. I listen to them everyday and try to practice with you. Thank you for your help. 🙏🥰

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thank you for your very lovely comment. I really appreciate it.

[@wsm3828]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Tried doing lip trills in the past but could not get it. Thanks to you, I managed to do it! Have subscribed already. Love to sing. But I don't know how to do it correctly.

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Love that you give us time to practice with you too!

[@healthyvoicetips]

I am glad you liked this type of video. Thank you!

[@sweetj2909]

Thank you 🙏 soooo much, the hands on my cheeks makes a huge difference, I used to retract my tongue ( as a bad habit from opera singing) and this is the only way that I can use to make the lip trills without hurting my throat. 🥺 Thanks again 😭. New subscriber 🇲🇽

[@healthyvoicetips]

Wonderful! I am glad it helped!

[@KellyLehman]

I would imagine that the practicing in my comfort range is key to getting this down. Thank you for your wonderful tips . They are always so helpful !

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thank you Kelly for your comment. Yes, starting in your comfortable range is a very good idea. Then, you can slowly expand to lower and higher ranges.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Loved this!! I need to work more in it... I stopped doing it properly by the end 😬

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thank you for stopping by and trying something new!!!

[@ElizabethRitchie]

I tried the trilling and realized I had a tight jaw / face - this helped me loosen up. Interesting! Thx!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yay! That is very good. One of the goals of this exercise is to decrease tension in the vocal mechanism - whereever it may be. It worked for you!

[@devreddi2571]

My God Truly wonderful. Not only enjoying but feeling healthy as well. Thank you Maam.

[@healthyvoicetips]

So happy to hear!

[@SocialConfidenceMastery]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@healthyvoicetips]

No problem!

[@ElizabethSampson]

This is so interesting! I had trouble doing this but with adjustments I was able to maintain it longer.I need a lot of practice.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes, it is a matter of practice. It may seem to be challenging first, but with some practice it will become a second nature. Thank you for your comment!

[@ChangedWayz]

thank you and bless

[@healthyvoicetips]

😀

[@ratnamani1319]

[@healthyvoicetips]

Happy to hear that!

[@ajinkyakhandare4748]

Thank you so much

[@healthyvoicetips]

Any time

[@Thycowboy]

I’ve been watching a lot of different singing tutorials. 1.5 years ago I decided and knew I wanted to be a singer and your videos have been the best. Thank you!

[@healthyvoicetips]

That's awesome! I am glad you find them useful.

[@DalDhaliwalOfficial]

Great video Katarina. These warm up exercises look really effective. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thank you Dal for stopping by and leaving a comment.

[@teresabowers2659]

I did it!!!!❤️

[@healthyvoicetips]

Great job!!!

[@kenweiss6720]

Are lip trills a good exercise for vocal fold atrophy and vocal fold bowing- I think straw exercises are helpful and hoping lip trills are also helpful. Can you recommend the best exercises for this particular problem? Thanks!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Lip trills are a type of SOVT exercise, with similar benefits to straw exercises. Vocal fold atrophy is not my expertise. You can look up PhoRTE Voice Therapy, which is made for people with vocal fold bowing and atrophy.

[@ortallivyatan2141]

very informative! thank you

[@healthyvoicetips]

I am glad you liked it!

[@LorraineMalewicki]

I just came across your videos....I had a dog bite on my bottom lip and have scar tissue that never healed so there's a small lump. I cannot do the lip trill - i have tried over and over and think this is the reason it's not letting me. any workaround in this case?

[@BrooklynHanna]

I could definitely use some improvements in my singing thank you so much for the tips!

[@healthyvoicetips]

No problem. Thank you for stopping by!

[@shafiulhuq3910]

Mam, is this exercise effective for solving vocal cord nodule problem.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes, this can be one of the exercises in a well-rounded plan.

[@Derurrege8815]

Hey Katarina, it seems i can only do the lip trills whe i support my cheecks and then even not perfectly. They seem to be tensed all the time . Any tips please

[@healthyvoicetips]

It's ok to do the lip trills with supported cheeks. I don't do my lip trills in any other way. Ask yourself what the goal is. Is it to know how to do the lip trills unsupported or use this exercise to release tension or achieve any other goal?

[@CharukesiArunraj]

Teeth in both jaws should be in contact or kept apart ? Pls clarify mam..

[@healthyvoicetips]

Slightly apart

[@BrittanyClow]

awesome as always!!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Thank you Brittany for stopping by!

[@Lubby320]

Is it possible to have a zoom with you?

[@Srirupa1977]

Very much useful videos

[@healthyvoicetips]

I am glad that you think so.

[@Srirupa1977]

Can I do this exercise in chronic laryngitis ?

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes. Very gently.

[@mountainymaple]

I dont understand how to do the lip trill? is it like blowing a raspberry?

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes, that is right. Plus add a sound (you will feel vibrations on your neck).

[@amaljabareen7089]

I want to ask if this also good exercise for vocal coral paralisys (one sided). Thank you.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Yes and no. There are other exercises that are more suitable for vocal fold paralysis but you can try this exercise and add more vigorous breath flow and pressure (still without adding tension in your lips, jaw, tongue ...). You may not be able to do lip trills at all (because the increased breath pressure will simply be too much for your lips). If you can do a lip trill, then it is beneficial because there is a back pressure coming from your lips to the vocal folds and optimizing their function. Try it and let me know.

[@kashmirajain4123]

Superb, Katarina. Perfect video. Very well explained. You’re very beautiful as well. Your English seems very good throughout, then why do you pronounce the word ‘video’ wrongly? Subscribed. 👍🏻👌🏻

[@healthyvoicetips]

Because I am not perfect!

[@Thoughtspresso]

Wow, I never realized my jaw must be so tight; it takes effort to relax them.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Change starts with awareness. Great job!

[@sreyashi6329]

4:30

[@healthyvoicetips]

The actual demonstration starts at 4:30. Instructions how to do this exercise properly with maximum benefits are before that point.

[@shuuuGT]

I have to show this to my cousin, she sings opera.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Please do. Many of my "opera friends" are not familiar with this exercise because they often go through different training. But as I said, it is an effective exercise for any singer or voice user.

[@LilMsLorelei]

Doing this makes my lower part of nose and upper lip itchy. Am I the only one?

[@healthyvoicetips]

No, you are not the only one

[@bryangordon1945]

5:51

[@carriesfeather]

I think I’m tone deaf. Or tone difunctional. I can hear the difference but I can rarely copy the tone. I can’t carry a tune. I have all kinds of capacity. I’m loud as an ambulance I just can’t Cary a tune. I’ve wanted sing as early as second grade when I tried out for chorus and chorus teacher told me “ You can’t sing ! You can’t carry a tune! Maybe next year…..” crushed me and it stuck. I am grown woman with lifetimes under my belt, two beautiful grown kids and retirement the only thing ahead of me. My bucket list is be able to take this instrument this incredibly loud voice and blast a song on key for me to enjoy. My poor neighbors as I sing daily all day long but so off key I’m sure it’s quite comedic. They never say a word. They either very kind or terrified I could be louder. I thought lip rolls were silly at first but I would do them 5 hours a day if I thought I could actually learn to sing. Broken spirit

[@healthyvoicetips]

Carrie, thanks for your comment. I am SO sorry to hear you've been dealing with that situation. OF COURSE everyone can sing and learn how to use and develop the voice skills. Don't let anyone tell you the opposite because our voice could easily get blocked.

[@mayrarodriguez1257]

I cannot do it without putting my hands on my cheeks 😩

[@healthyvoicetips]

Don't worry, it's fine if you need to use your hands, you just need some practice!

[@DayneReedy]

I can’t get up to the high notes at all.

[@healthyvoicetips]

It takes practice. Less use air and make the sound whiny.

[@DayneReedy]

@@healthyvoicetips thank you. I seem to run out of air when going up high and then push harder my air. I will try to use less and add the whiny sound. Thank you. :)

[@barryhambly7711]

No I can not do life trills my lips will not vibrate loosely like that my lips will only do a tight vibration I don't have fat lips my lips are quite thin so I get a cross between a lip trill and a hum

[@joannehamel6346]

Loved it!! Thank you!!

[@healthyvoicetips]

Glad you enjoyed it!
