Beginner Vocal Warmup for New Singers | Start Here

[@rebecca60172]

Sweet Lord. That intro. Love.

[@jangoaustine7958]

I feel good after that exercise....

[@billdemaineiii6979]

Hey, I was going to say exactly what you said about the intro… gulp.

[@stephanielainemusic]

I literally cried it was so beautiful 😂

[@ratnakarpandey5240]

Intro is also not very easy and not very simple.

[@zarinsubah9331]

7:46 for daily practice

[@ag.8243]

Madeleine, your lessons help me more than no other! You‘re my absolute fave & each time I significantly improve, it‘s thanks to you. Means THE world to me that you keep posting new videos, thanks to you I‘m accomplishing my DREAM to free my voice and discover my authentic sound. Thank you🫶

Aww Mabel sleeping in the back!

My Vocal warm-up: Upon waking up, lightly hum a few notes near the bottom of my range through my nose (D2-G2). While in my morning shower, play around with the entire second octave (C2-C3) and pop around in the middle of the third octave in Falsetto. MAKE SURE TO TAKE MY DAILY ALLERGY PILL FOR CLEAR SINUSES! On the drive to work, put on music and hum along to the Bass line (an octave higher) occasionally harmonizing with it an octave and a third up. By the second song, start singing the vocal harmonies in Falsetto and lower to middle Head/Mix. Upon third song start, I'm ready to use my full range. (Bb1-A5) The great thing about using this method? For the rest of the day to get back to full range access, all I need to do is hum half a song of Bass line, a quarter of the song in Falsetto, and the rest of the song in Head/Mix.

I can do the lip trill going up but lose it coming back down. We need a lesson on how to trill. I feel like I’m missing something.

[@codytutor567]

Well that was an exercise in range that I wasn’t expecting! I had to drop the exercise an octave, but I immediately noticed much better connection with my head voice, which is something that I struggle with. The last C2 - C3 arpeggio was a surprise in that the bottom C2 felt a lot more solid and “grounded.” Great exercise, and terrific explanation of why this is such a bedrock warm-up! Thanks for doing this!

[@SwedishTourist]

Did I enjoy it? Yes! When I began I struggled to even make the lips vibrate, but closer to the end I realised the link between air flow and chord tension intuitively. It also raised my mood a few notches as I got some bloodflow going. 😂 I feel better mentally after doing that.

[@georgelaurence1802]

Madeline you are proof that age is not a factor in vocal tuning, i'm 76 and feel more freedom in speaking and vocalizing since i started following you. Thaks

[@JeffNewpal]

I love when the intro becomes the entertainmer, so cool

[@avitalmacales5649]

This exercise is amazing - even for non-new singers! Would love it if you did more basic exercises like these. What a difference I feel even after just a few minutes of doing this!

[@IrishArtHistory]

Madeleine, haven’t tuned in for a while. Busy with what-not. But you know there’s so much in every lesson you brilliantly deliver that all needs to be more widely appreciated. Audiences don’t know therefore cannot appreciate what the fine vocalist has mastered to deliver the masterful performance. Your trills for beginners are just mind-bogglingly magical. How do you know all this? There’s no end to it. I heard a professional soprano warming up once. It was an experience of a lifetime. Anyhow. Delighted to be back. Have a bit of catching up to do.

[@phyowaioomohnyin..6822]

A very effective lesson. This lesson improves stamina.. Thank you so much.🙂

[@TheMokshananda]

Thank you Madeleine for offering such great lessons and bridging the gap between music and humans. You describe our connetion to music with such great words. So impressed and grateful :)

[@SjaakShirly6559]

I LOVE the intro of your video's. So professional. Good lesson too.

[@brandalyn262]

My dog also sleeps on the couch in my singing room when I’m practicing lol

[@Musicman7]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!

[@OINMAS]

Thank you so much Madeleine. Over the past few years, I've been able to write and sing a few songs, but I've never actually paid proper attention to crafting my voice. I'm already quite comfortable with the way I sound, and people tell me they think I'm good, but I know I'm just beginning, and I'm capable of learning a lot more! Also, I want to look after my voice so I can enjoy it for as long as I can. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm a brand new singer, starting today. Your videos and tutorials provide an excellent starting point, and your energy is so wonderful! I always feel great after watching.

[@rememberlikeaphoenix6119]

Thanks Madeleine. As a very untrained singer (until recently :) ), this exercise is a great foundation!

[@billdemaineiii6979]

This just seemed brilliantly laid out. Thank you.

[@sylviazanellisimon2095]

Good Morning Madeleine! This was excellent and exactly what I needed today. I haven't been singing as much as usual lately so I really needed this tune up exercise. And I agree with the other comments, your intro is STUNNING! and so are you! Thanks for all the amazing content you share!

[@louannmiller4281]

I wish I could flutter my lips! Beginner singer here, but oboist, flutter tonguing is easy, but takes more airspeed, air volume and louder, this certainly is a challenge! Maybe I have done too much puckering in my life around that double reed ;-) Will have to practice. Thanks for all you do, I notice your exercises really help loosen up my voice.

[@ritasjourney]

Someone told me it helps to relax lips etc.

[@kofibabone725]

I wish I could tongue trill. The lip is easy but I can't tongue trill to save my life lol

[@robertgianetto7038]

Thank you for your wonderful warmup exercises!

[@clareroberts533]

A very helpful and informative video. I have watched and sung along to a lot of your videos and they are excellent. I can hear a big improvement in my voice. Thank you so much!

[@binhvuong1809]

Thank you a wonderful lesson ♥️

[@JohnnyJitsu11]

THANK YOU COACH!

[@jacobespinola9335]

Required total focus. Thank you for another excellent lesson.

[@monicagb4156]

They clases was terrific but what's I liked the most was your cute Dog ❤

[@cailagrace1002]

Maple be making her own music 😂 Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been singing for a while, but kinda skipped over the basics. Been trying to find good KZbin videos to reteach myself and I don’t have money for a vocal coach.

[@preetikooner.2340]

Wooow What a workout for not only your voice but you too abs 😲💪 amazing as always thank you for your awesome videos Madeleine 👏👏❤❤

[@lisabrill3728]

Do you have any suggestions if you can't do the trill for very long? I seem to only be able to do it for a few seconds.

[@KidKerrigan]

I know this is useful but also I'm just so happy I can hear the doggo

[@barbragreen2513]

I love how your dog is snoring while you’re teaching. It’s happened in your other videos. SO cute! Hey, you’re gonna get some “bass” added into the notes we’re singing. I bet your dog is gonna mimic what you’re doing not realizing it…lol. Dogs are the best!

[@ambervancuren]

Ahh, I was never able to do the tongue trill and the lip trill I can barely do. Is that where practice just comes in?

[@joselynrosa1744]

The dog is snoring, hahahahahaha cute

[@tracyblankenship97]

That makes my nose itchy 😂

[@lifeofbean3332]

Please please do more beginners videos!

[@NeshiaWilhelmina]

Giving a thumbs up because of the sleeping doge ❤️🥺

[@rizlovedaydream8424]

You are awesome,,👍🙌 Like Seriously you explained everything So easy and SOooooo sensible way.. So the info its going easily into my Brain 🧠 and make some sense around 😅 there... Thank you 💖😊 FOoooor YOooOoooUR Videos..

[@Yourlovebugboo]

You’re my fav ❤

[@Poetofsound]

Ah sweet dog he is relaxing with the music and thank you Madeleine and with my singing I am odd as I can sing as good as Ben adams A1 rose then other songs I can not find right pitch and I can not keep in head voice.

[@AgataZKurnatowic]

Love it

[@tinaaruna]

oh my... my lips are hard or feel tired after a few minutes of lip rolls...how do you do that so effortlessly @madeleineharvey... great video

[@sarahhanan4917]

I am able to do hissing and other breath control exercises easily and maintain for a long time however I have a lot of trouble quick running out of air with lip trills. The only way I am able to do this exercise is by holding the corners of my mouth. Do you have any ideas how I can improve? I’ve been working at lip trills for a year and a half now and still am struggling. Thank you, I have learned a lot from your videos!

[@janadpearson]

What do I do?! I can't make my mouth trill for more than 1 to 3 seconds straight, it just doesn't work consistently for my tongue nor my lips... I have to keep restarting my trill 😢

[@intahashaharin3868]

is it really possible to hit the high notes in this warmup for a complete beginner? cause i've been following this video for over a month now and i cant still hit the high notes after 10.30 min of the video. should i just keep practicing or try something else?

[@estelasanchez.]

Are we meant to keep it also concisely quiet even the high parts too?? I found it hard to remain with the drills when high but when I made myself louder and stronger it was waaaay easier. Was I supposed to be more quiet? Thank you!! So if this question is dumb!!!

[@JUSTAFUTUREBOY]

She has this other video “how to sing high with power”

[@jacobespinola9335]

Hello, quiet as possible and I agree stronger is easier. Best

[@anxylum]

How do you DO that so quietly??? 🤯 I have to do it LOUD to do it at all. 🤣🤣🤣

[@ratnakarpandey5240]

What's the variety of the dog ?

[@EatGardenEat]

I love the dog hahaha

[@ZombiZohm]

I don't understand what activate diaphragm means. I don't know how one mechanically, activates a diaphragm. Is the lifting of the diaphragm something that happens automatically when I breathe in and out? Is this one of those mental things that you're supposed to visualize and somehow your body just starts doing it?

[@lindalevy396]

Am I doing something wrong if my throat feels tense during this?

[@ZombiZohm]

I can't really just push air out of my lips vibrate. If I push air I'm just breathing out through first lips. What I've had to do is make a BBB sound. Can't just breathe and make it happen. Also the exercise makes me gag even if all of me feels relaxed feels like my throat just closes off on its own. None of the industry buzzwords about activating this or spinning threads of that helped me

[@pangyre]

Great video/lesson as always. I just remark: “Give up the ghost” is an idiom for dying. o_0 Please refrain from giving up the ghost any time soon.

[@fronk2.095]

😂😂😂 like fir the dog snoring

[@SelahViegh]

I’m really struggling with this 😅

[@wv9459]

Are you trilling with your tongue or lips? I’m so confused 😅 I can trill with my tongue but it looks like you are with your lips

[@TojoRo]

I CANT LIP TRILL LONG ENOUGH MY LIPS STOP WORKING

[@nowisnownowismark8901]

❤️

[@mifi4216]

Shout out to everyone who can’t do lip trills (yet). I live in hope 😂

[@MarcusFilipeAndrade]
