You are a LIFE SAVER!! I've been looking for an exercise like this for MONTHS! I've tried SO many with absolutely NO difference in my vocal cracking until I finally stumbled upon your exercise! I think the difference had been, other exercises have you belt it out, while yours encourages a gentle flow. It reminds me of the difference between body builders and those who build healthy muscle with gradual weight training. The body builder will lose his muscle MUCH faster if he stops working out compared to the gradual (healthy muscled, not scar tissue) weight trainer! This gave me a beautiful glide through my most problematic areas (I have a very wide vocal range from singing opera, so I have mid cracking and lower voice crack) and I am really excited to have found your exercises! Thanks!

[@melimusiclessons]

Rebekah J hi ! I’m so so glad to hear this ! And I love your comparison with body builders and healthy muscle Gain ! I agree completely ! Your vocal chords have a set of muscles that need to be trained in a healthy manner . Thanks again ! And I’m not an opera singer , but if u wanna share some tips with our community that would be great ❤️

Hey this was 4 years ago and I know it is a lot to ask but can you remember if this help or not😅

Sia My Love Sia it’s such an amazing singer !! But she does the voice cracks on purpose cause she knows how to control her chest and head voice , she is amazing !

[@agritaklavina760]

@@melimusiclessons Well yeah for example I make voice cracks by switching from head voice to chest voice or voice moods. And I'm a big fan of Sia.

[@eveyholmes]

Thank you for your videos. Because of pandemic, I have lost 22 gigs in 6 months. I have not sung live, but doing a virtual live show with 16 songs tomorrow , Sunday, August, 23rd and one Friday, August 28th. My voice is weak and cracking. My selection of songs are a mixture of Blues, Jazz, Standards, Country and Latin. I must say I fair better in Latin tunes, because of all the vowels. P. S. I am not a trained vocalist and have been singing professionally since 1975.

I haven’t sung in a couple of years and every time I sing with my chest voice my voice cracks. It sounds fine when I’m using my head voice though. Hopefully I can improve using these exercises fingers crossed 🤞

[@madhatter4129]

Me opposite

[@oshobaadu6272]

You may want to try and use your chest voice up to middle C or D and then gradually switch to head voice while maintaining a narrow ombuchure during the passagio. I was told to switch early by a teacher so the transition would be easier but I took that advice and applied it 2 notes too early, that is, 2 notes below middle D and I just couldn't sing any song fully to my satisfaction since most songs pass through the middle C and D and back and forth quite often and my voice would sound half good and half bad. I was stuck with this for the past 5 years without realizing that I could go 2 more notes in my chest voice without much struggle until I started to sing on Smule a few months ago! Lately I have started to practise and get my chest voice upto middle D. With proper breath support and technique it may take me a while to build muscle memory but I think that's worth trying rather than singing in a dual, incomplete voice!!! Good Luck!!!

[@TutoMaster]

This is so wonderful, I like finding different vocal bridging exercises, it helps in diversifying and in training all the vocal muscles. This specifically helps me in speaking more clearly, I'm not a singer but it has an immediate positive effect on how I speak, and it only gets better~

[@dallassurfersclub8872]

I found out I was just pushing too much air out, sang a lot more softly and my pitch is much better. I was singing too loudly to overpower my acoustic guitar, which is really loud, and I got a microphone and sang softly. But, this helped, thank you!

[@JesseEricksonSutton]

Your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Even warming up hah!

[@lspyderp]

I’ve listened to many vocal teachers and lessons in which some are very professional and can deliver opera like power, u are the first one who can sing and also have and in depth knowledge of the working vocal chords anatomy. I find it a little disconcerting that most of them don’t even know ! I think it’s very important. Just because you can sing really well , does not necessarily mean you are qualified to teach ! Many students are probably hurting there throats because of this lack of knowledge ! A student should not know more than his teacher, in my humble opinion !

[@st14]

For the second exercise, I think it would be a bit simpler to raise the third-last note by a semitone. So in C major, instead finishing e,d,c you could finish f,d,c. This would give you a nice harmonic resolution of V7 to I. Which in C major would be G7 to C. You could use you left hand to play the bass line of I, V, III, V, I. Which in C would be C, G, E, G, C, where on E we have a minor chord and on the second G a 7 chord. Your left hand fingers are already in the correct position, you could use them. That would help the student stay on pitch, I think. Probably would not make much difference for the vocal production?

[@byronvisiado09]

God! Your voice is so beautiful! Thanks for the exercise!

Mam Meli Malavasi, it happens to be my third comment to your good self: It has been a couple of months since I joined your you-tube practice session of a good vocal exercises; including this current one of Eliminating THE VOICE BREAK(CRACK); It has virtually been profoundly useful to me to get red off those unworthy cracks the intervened in my singing vocal practice; like rest of your viewers.

Im very impressed of You and your channel. I felt i could understand your message good, both as what to, why to, and that its something that feel very possible in shorter future. I often feel like I struggle to understand, but not here. Insted of lowering my motivation, i felt for first Greatly motivated and its maybe not impossible that i was starting to feel this last year. Instant improvement, never felt that before. I found this channel last night, so i have only look though a few videos, i havnt really made full effort becuse i felt little bit soarnes from earlier. Nothing though when i followed your instructions. But thought maybe is better so just wait where its a bit risky and wait a Day and then follow trough better. But let me tell You, i recorded my self singing love yourself earlier, then i tried The same song today. I cant belive it made so mutch difference for me. Its still bad but hey, that really was a enourmous motivator, very Thankfull for You posting. Can i ask if you offer personal coachning thought internet as well?..

Of course. I also have another question, while doing the daily practice shall we do all of the videos you provided or videos that we need more practice with? It's kind hard/tricky to know what we need to work on sometimes.

Hey! I just came up with a suggestion video that I hope you can do because it would come in handy. Can you make a cool down exercise video that covers range, etc before going to bed

[@jeffrunyan2691]

I love to sing a lot of 90s stuff. All of my favorite singers are the screamers at the top of their game. Sebastian Bach Chris Cornell Rob halford. I can pull off about 90% of the stuff but there's certain things I've just never been able to attain. And I have struggled for years with my voice cracking and doing odd ball stuff. But that's also very challenging stuff to sing. I also seem to have problems with having enough air to carry the note out. I have struggled with allergies my whole life and that doesn't help. I have the range but just need to tweak a few things.

Also you speak of being relaxed when we sing , also a struggle from me but you are helping me with that also. Thank you ! You have a beautiful pure voice .

Hai Meli, it has been quite a while since I joined you to get rid of my CRACKS in my singing performance. I am rather happy with the results that came down upon me from the exercise offered by you. Just to add here you have a very pristine sweet voice which at the same time embraces in harmony your facial visage and make you look a very gentle person having a color of genuine personality. This is the element and quality that attracts your students,like myself, to learn more from you and continue as much as could be possible. I hope understand what I really mean. Thanks for your efforts with a laudable disposition to all of us..take care..

[@MarianMusic1]

I think cracks occurs always near the passagio , mostly in "e" and "u" vowels singed after the consonants, or after other vowels, for example the "le" and "lu" "Ay" , "iu" . I think is has to do with the tongue movement and position, and this problem is hard to be fixed practicing isolated vowels exercises. It is my problem and I would like to know your thoughts about it. Thank you!

It's a nice video, but one piece of information in the explanation is backwards. Shorteners = low notes. Lengtheners = high notes. It's understandable to think the opposite though, because belting *is* done with shortened folds.
