That second warmup was genius. Helped me find a specific placement in my voice I've been trying to figure out for ages.

[@Always_iconic]

Exactly what I was thinking! It’s marvelous!

[@mselaineryan]

DUDE, this is the best vocal video ever. You explain the why of things! I feel like other coaches just say, sing 'nay nay nay, guh, guh, guh' and you'll improve but they never explain the mechanism or how it is that the exercises will work - because no-one actually wants their voice to actually sound like 'nay, nay, guh, guh'! Thank you for the explanation part of things. I'm exciting to learn how to belt safely and properly at long last!

This is amazing! I think i may have actually belted. Thank you so much!

Wonderful, thank you! I'm struggling so much with postnasal drip (I think from seasonal allergies) and I really need to keep pressure OUT of my throat. So this is great.

[@janetbotor13]

Woaahhh. I'm ready to sing high notes again because of this. Thank you for this, Ms. Madeleine. 😊♥️

[@sankarsanadas3026]

Roger Love recommends these same exercises, so it’s nice to know some exercises are universal among singing coaches. But you explain things in more detail Madeleine in my view.

[@cessarana3006]

When I should start singing a song after I watched all of your videos? You actually teached me how to sing a high notes and also to removed a strains, found my belt and also to love my voice too. 💓

[@esmer9394]

These exercises are my go-to every time before Sunday worship. I notice a huge difference in being able to belt and reach all the notes. The gogogogoooo was challenging in the beginning, but I got them down without straining and they help so much!

[@volubleperspicacious]

Awesome excersices! I would love to see a video from you on how to go about releasing that "throat strain" feeling. Sometimes while practicing a healthy belt, that strain will still come into play. Even if you try to let it go as soon as you notice it, that tightness stays around even if you don't do any more singing after that. Thoughts?

[@keagank9414]

This video is the best warmup for belting I’ve ever come across. I’ve always struggled with having a soft whispery voice but I watched this once and BOOM it was there so effortlessly. Keeping this for future reference. Thank you!

[@oneeye9801]

have u ever struggled with a massive strain and an overuse of the chest voice while trying to belt? i can’t do the second exercise without feeling that strain that she mentioned and idk how to get rid of it😅

[@keagank9414]

It's hard to give good advice when I can't see or hear what's going on, but strain is definitely a difficult obstacle to overcome. I think experimenting while singing helps because then you can feel it out and you'll be able to feel where the strain goes away. Hopefully that made sense lol my brain is fried. @@oneeye9801

[@angela5482]

Madelyn, you are the best vocal coach ever. Your vocal exercises have really helped me improve my singing. Thank you so much!

[@magdragon04_7]

Omg this really helps me to feel less stressed and also be less stressed when singing. It's so fun to do as well and it helped me to reach higher notes in chest voice more effortlessly!✨🔥

this was extremely helpful to me! i took voice for years as a young woman but haven't in a long time, and am auditioning recently for belting roles. i am trying to keep those higher notes relaxed but have noticed an almost shouting quality in my voice (my range has also decreased in my old age ;) these exercises really helped me keep those higher notes more relaxed in my throat. i could definitely feel it. i may contact you for some help on a specific song for a role. thank you!

[@thefleshcurtains]

[@lukasmiller486]

Hi Madeline! I’ve been watching your channel lately and it has helped me immensely. I was wondering if you could do a video on sustained high notes at the end of a song. I am a self trained Leggero tenor and even though the octave C3-C4 is the best part of my range, I still can’t stand to sing the notes Bb3-C4 at the very end of an aria or art song because no matter how good the voice sounds and feels, I know I’m taking a chance and start to feel sick right before the end. I’m okay with the phrases that require me to scoop up, hold for a second and then drop down but it’s NOTHING like the sustained ones at the end.

[@iamjove]

You are the best!!!! Everything you explain i completely understand. You make it so easy to learn from you!

Thank you Madaleine for these tutorials, they are incredibly helpful. One thing I'd like to know is once I have practiced each lesson, I'm wondering what song would be best to impliment this technique into? Example if it's this lesson on Warming up for a belt, could you recommend a belting song that I could sing along to after completing the lesson to implement the proper voice placement please? Or if it's a lesson on breathing could you recommend a song that works on our understanding of breathing to implement the lesson just learned please? Thank you kindly

Hi Madeleine. Any tips on onset? I tend to have a glottal onset I'm trying to get rid of (to reduce strain) or at least tame. Thanks for all of your other great content. Honestly, I have a hard time keeping up with all these lessons. If you haven't done it yet (I haven't seen it) it might also be helpful to have you explain what a daily practice program would look like. Also, how do you go about learning a song? But the main thing for me right now is the onset thing. THX again.

[@chayahlichtig9209]

This video was awesome! I'm a trained classical soprano and generally transition quite low. Auditioning for a belt role, and was able to bring my belt up to a solid Db! Now to figure out how to sustain them!?

[@harrieth7003]

Madeleine I feel like you’re probably the only woman who can explain to me here! So today I was having trouble with the bridge of Kelly Clarkson Since U Been Gone - ‘you had your chance you blew it, outta sight, out of mind’. In my lesson I was over blowing, stuck in mix etc and it was just so screechy and bright (sidenote, isn’t mix meant to be helpful for that sort of singing?). ANYWAY my question - I got home and sang the phrase on a ‘gug’ and bingo, I could belt those notes no problem. Added in the words, still good. It felt EASY and COMFORTABLE 😮😮 So I know the gug helps maintain a lower larynx, right? But what is actually HAPPENING in the vocal tract there, compared with my straining in my lesson? I’m just somehow managing to access a different shape of cavity? Is that a a tipping forward or an adduction or something? I feel like I need to be able to understand all this in order to be legit. (I’ve just started as a singing teacher and there’s so much still to learn!)

[@ayan6510]

Hi Madeline ! Can you please make a video explaining how to start and end a note or a line or phrase???

Is it still effective to do the warmup and not be belting until half an hour or so after?
