ok beau

Wow....Jeff....that was a phenomenal baritone pedagogy. I felt more breath control, endurance, and vibrations. Superb vocal instructions.

"If it starts to drop out on you, you've got to re-engage." This quote needs to be on Jeff Rolka mugs and t-shirts.

I can definitely facilitate that! I'm always feeling a little Jean Luc Piccard when I say that. Jeff

[@vicentecamps4656]

Best idea I ever known of, I would definitively buy the mug

That’s just hilarious

lmao been using this video for almost 5 years now and at this point i ALWAYS say it with him 😂🤣😂

[@ahmetsargn9978]

These exercises are really improved my breath control. I began to vibrate my voice and got lots of endurance. Guys if you don't know how to control your voice begin from learning how to control breath. And these exercises are the best and best in KZbin

[@voice445]

This is an awesome warmup! I use my voice a lot in my job. I can run through this exercise a couple of times very early in the morning and be in a great vocal place by the time that I get to work! Thanks, Jeff!

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you! You're very welcome! Really glad to hear that the warm up is working well for you. Enjoy the channel and thanks for taking the time to write in! All the best! Jeff

I love these all of these videos, thank you Jeff - you clearly understand how voices work. If only you taught in London...

[@JeffRolka]

I did for nearly four years not long ago! Always happy to meet on Skype! Jeff

One of my most favorites- love the sequence! Jeff, I’m wondering what your thoughts are on other semi occluded vocal tract exercises? Tongue trills, chew and hum, using a straw, puffy cheeks... what is their intended purpose and would you recommend or not recommend? And why?

[@JeffRolka]

Great question!!! In a word, they all have their place, but I'll go into more detail in Questions from Comments 9. Thank you! Jeff

[@ghettosupahstar3024]

[@smileyband0]

I am a tenor with a quite wide range so I thought I would try this to learn how to hit lower notes

[@cathygracecatubay3207]

Sir jeff can i ask a question of what are the benefits of forward voice?

[@gusorangetree]

u are awesome

[@davidsosa538]

My dog is looking at me like I lost it XDXDXD...Great excercises BTW Thanks a lot

[@JeffRolka]

Indeed! Dogs seem to really react to the lip trill exercises. Probably makes their ears feel weird or something! Jeff

[@annxander7878]

thanks alot。

[@leerhode1021]

Hello Jeff, Thanks for all you do. I have started practicing my lip trills by trilling along with some of my favorite songs. I find that this enhances my vocal ability. Has anyone ever told you they do this? Do you see anything wrong with doing this? Thanks again.

[@JeffRolka]

Nothing wrong at all! A great way to get started with a new or favourite song! Great work! Jeff

[@globaltechpulsebd]

it changed my voice into nice tone

[@JeffRolka]

Fantastic! Great job with your practice! Jeff

[@swizzy_j6946]

Is it more effective to warmup the comfortable part of your range before working on how to sing over the break video? I noticed when I wake up in the morning before warming up I can only sing around like F#2-C4 without cracking. However, I have a playlist of your videos that I do daily and it warms my voice up. My range then usually is C2-Eb6 but I still have cracks at the transition points in the voice. For example, like prime passisago, secundo and tertiary. Any advice would be greatly help! I’ve been doing these videos for a while and I’m not too short what I am doing wrong.

[@JeffRolka]

In a word, yes. It's normal to warm up in the thyroarytenoid dominant range and then move on to the upper register. With time that may be less necessary. Thank you for watching! Thanks for a great question! All the best! Jeff

[@swizzy_j6946]

@@JeffRolka Do you have any videos that focus on warming up that range F#2-C4 before doing the sing over the break videos?

[@jacknisbet3954]

@@swizzy_j6946 He does! the gentle bass/baritone warmup is C2-G3, and the gentle tenor one is A2-D4 I believe

[@Ahlex]

Question: what do you think about doing Raspberry Trills instead of Lip Trills? I don't know enough about the differences but when I do the Raspberry, my support muscles "shake". It's so much harder to keep the breath support doing them, while doing lip trills don't really challenge support-wise. Is it a good thing or I should stick to lip trills for these exercises in particular? Or should I do both (I don't know if they're different enough to be worth it doing both) Thank you again!

[@JeffRolka]

I'd suggest doing the lip trills the way that I demonstrate them in the videos. There are numerous advantages to doing them that way that go beyond the physical effort.

[@pilotsabin7702]

please help me to find out my voice type.

[@swizzy_j6946]

Do you have any short videos that focus on warming up that range F#2-C4 in the morning before doing the sing over the break videos?

[@JeffRolka]

Yes - but they wouldn't be labeled specifically like that. Try choosing a baritone video that does not have 'full range' in the title. There are several that are pretty short. You could then move on to the full range one's to sing over the secondo passaggio. Great question!!!! Thank you! Jeff

[@jordanclaudio6352]

I still use this. Love this. I do the baritone and tenor because I have the tenor and baritone range but when I sing a song it’s hard for me to get to those top tenor notes. What do you recommend?

[@diegomaradona3561]

You’re probably a baritone

[@JeffRolka]

That's one of the paradoxes of the lip trill. Because the lips are effectively 'closed' they reduce vocal fold engagement by taking the weight of the air column off of the folds. This shows us what transitions and range could be like if we could achieve that kind of release. Sadly, the transition to vowels and ultimately songs can be tricky. If you haven't worked through the registration event practice, that would perhaps be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Opm4d9jM6Ua7c If you have, you might try to focus on the physical experience of singing over the secondo passaggio during the lip trill practice. Try to emulate that physical sensation while singing vowels. I would start with an 'e' to 'a' (from the IPA - 'e' = 'hay' 'a' = 'father') exercise. Jeff

[@jordanclaudio6352]

Jeff Rolka I’m a new singer and I’m working on singing and working on my technique but I still don’t know how to get to those high notes, but my singing coach says I have does notes but when I sing it’s kind of hard and don’t know how to get ther

[@JohnMattC]

Why is it that when I do the lip trill, I can reach the note but when I open my mouth and sing the note it seems that my voice cracks. What videos you have can you recommend me to watch and do?

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome observation and question! The lip trill takes a bit of the weight of the air column off of the vocal fold, hence allowing it to release a bit more and move through the transitions more easily. You're right, though, we have to move off of the lip trill to solid vowels in order for us to apply it to our songs. Part of the practice is to really focus on how (and how much) engagement (support) you're using while singing with the lip trill. Focus on applying that amount and you'll get closer. Great question! Jeff

[@JohnMattC]

Jeff Rolka thank you for the response! Right now, I think I’m getting better when I try doing solid vowels (after i do lip trill, i try it with “ah/uh” vowel). However, I think my second problem is volume control. Can you help me with that? Thank you!

[@pilotsabin7702]

please help to find what type of voice do I have ? as I'm using your baritone execrise because i'm male singer, and i'm having a trouble in singing. thank you

[@bluehatmusique]

Sing the lowest and highest note you can - google a voice type chart and match it to that

[@JackReacherification]

Doing this recitation, will my voice range increase?

[@JeffRolka]

It's part of the process. Range expansion does require consistent airflow but an understanding of vowel formation and modification is necessary as well. Enjoy! Jeff

Do you have any short videos that focus on warming up that range F#2-C4 in the morning before doing the sing over the break videos?
