Thanks Sebastian!

[@jackricketts7025]

Roger Hale your choir is amazing especially the male falsetto it’s amazing a high D

[@audreymoyo9839]

You're an awesome teacher

[@goldaganeshdin2269]

This man andhis method of teaching are more than awesome. I am not a musician /singer in anyway, but I listen intently to the instructors and instructions. I have found quite a few that interest me and in my opinion they are good but Dr Hales' teaching, his attitude, demeanor, approach to teaching are outstanding. I can listen over and over. Each time it's more enjoyable that I even practice too because of how much I love music. Thank you .

[@stephenhosking7384]

If you love music and singing then I I strongly recommend that you take lessons. It is a very common misconception that you are either born with a good choice of not. On the contrary singing is taught just like any other instrument. In person lessons are most effective but if you can't afford the time or money then try working with a KZbin program.

[@goldaganeshdin2269]

Thank you Steven, I grew around music but sadly where I am from there weren't many teachers and my parents couldn't afford. Now in my 40s I don't think I 'd want to try. Just that when I listen to the teachers I sometimes get carried away and don't realise I'm doing it . Sometimes I just go along as it's natural for me to hum/sing while doing chores.

[@wizardofarts1276]

Thank you! I've been singing in a church choir but we don't usually do warm ups, and I could feel my skill suffering from that. I knew from my school choir days though that warns ups are great and important, so thank you for this video! I'm glad to be warming up properly again

[@RogerHale]

@Wizard of Arts, So glad that you have found it useful :) Stay well, Roger

[@rajdrippin]

My heart literally burst out cryng by the end. It was so beautiful and magical, like seriously I'm going to practice this for a month and record myself and see the change. I sound real bad rn.

Brandon! Thank you for watching :) Good luck in your efforts.

[@sk8rjer]

And all the while, I thought that Choirs were just "born that way"...boy was I wrong! Smile... Seriously, Indeed Awesome!

[@pasadenabiblecollege950]

As I youth in Wheeling WV, I studied under Jack Randolf (church chior) and Dr. Harold Wiesner (classical choir). You are VERY good. As also a vocalist and audio engineer, you are hitting all the bases. Diaphragm, larynx, vocal resonance via mouth and nasal... and training the head upward, and the vowel pronunciations. That is fairly complete. I love what I hear in this video. Very, very well controlled and vocally articulated. Wish I'd have had you as an instructor. I'm now 65 considering returning to solo or choir... I will use your techniques if I pursue vocal performance in my church. Thanks so much. Love your choir. The resonance and harmonics are absolutely perfect.

[@Bethanysnow]

I left choir a bit ago and have missed it since. This is amazing thank you

Hey I am a student who has just been put in put in charge of a choir that has become student led and I have never conducted or led a choir before. I wanted to say thank you, this has given me a great idea of what should be worked on during a warm up!

[@RogerHale]

Best of luck to you in this wonderful adventure!

[@JimboJohnsy]

The biggest thing separating and average choir from a great choir is that voice blending and the open vowels sounds. Fantastic warm up, great MD, great choir!

[@caritachew1030]

Your teaching methods are scaffolded so well, and I love how you also demonstrated common mistakes! Thanks for this, it's really useful!

[@irmawehle7430]

I am taking singing lessons, finally, after many years of singing in choirs of all performance levels, many with excellent warmups such as this. Except for a few notes, my singing has always been "breathy" and small. Now I am learning to NOT drop my chin but to keep a relaxed tongue and sing all vowels close to an "e" or "u" position, directing my breath to the front of my face ("mustache line" to mid-nose). (My teacher, a professional opera singer, says that chin-dropping is often done in choirs.) This re-learning of how to sing is, week by week resulting in much more volume - there is less escaping air. I should have had a professional listen to ME individually and coach me, years ago! I like using Dr. Hale's warmup, but I ignore the visual of his chin-dropping... does not work for ME!

[@kimpanguy7027]

Very right timing, i will forward this to our choir director, we can use this before we start our practices in preparation for our Church Concert this Dec.. Love everything especially the vowel shape.. Thank you.

Bravi bis. You tube had a good idea in proposing your video to me. I Will be 55 next xmas, I gave up with choirs around 2008 for family reasons but I adore seriously prepared choirs since junior school in London uk. You remind me a couple of choirs I much apreciated here in Rome including the "Diego Carpitella" La Sapienza University of Rome choir; gymnastics, stretching and warming up body and vocal chords is what turns a good choir into a superlative astonishing sound choir! I know that you know it since you are the Master. It was Just to say I was glad to see this demonstration video of yours. Greetings from Caput Mundis. 😊
