If you think you're on pitch, think again! Recording is so important. If you're off pitch like me, here are some ways to help. 1 - try singing it without playing this video. This would give you a better feeling of how you sound. 2 - think of the note before singing it. attack the note from over, not under. 3 - Play it slow, better safe than sorry.

[@esthergrindle1921]

I'll try that.

[@SoyGeminis]

yes. I know im off pitch cause i have recoded myself a lot. Need to work more

[@hela3375]

Thank you so much! Exercises: 1:00, 2:12, 3:37, 4:53,

[@yuliiachornobryvets9600]

You are just awesome! I started to do your daily singing exercises 4 months ago, and I've so much improved my voice since there that I am really impressed. Thank you very much for your videos! They become better and better. Anna, you are a great vocal teacher!

[@VerbaVocal]

[@angelicamitchell7067]

Hello Anna! Thanks a lot for these exercises. They have really helped me to get my voice in shape again after I stopped singing for a while. And I will start making contributions to support your amazing work. But I noticed you haven’t put out anything new in a while. Just want to know if you will be putting out any new exercises in the near future. I’m really hoping you do. Again, doing your exercises have really helped my voice a lot. Please don’t stop doing what you do. You are amazing and you have a beautiful voice! God bless you richly.

Thank you

[@marinamartins6962]

Hello!! Thank you so much again! I wonder around and always come back to you! Can you please share which notes/scales Mark plays on the piano? Thank youuuuuuuu

[@TheSpanishGuitarHub]

Nice one!!

[@VerbaVocal]

Thank you :)

[@SeanFarFlung]

thanks so much for these great lessons. To push the concept further: would you recommend we approach many of our melodies or riffs in this way, moving them up and down the keys? well I think it's something ill be doing more of anyway. Moments like these, being able to play some basic piano really compliments singing development. thanks again

[@VerbaVocal]

Every voice and singer is unique, best to decide what you feel is most beneficial to you. :)

[@halleyevans1980]

Thank You

[@ujjwaladiya5031]

Love from India 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@grahamlyons8522]

Mark, how about playing the tunes or riffs that aren't accompanied in octaves? Then i can more easily switch to the octave that suits or, perhaps, exercises my range.

[@juanfeeer]

I love you. I'm getting a Fiat Panda just because I love you.

[@nilufarabylova3897]

hi Anna! thank u for all this exercises. and which is this video exercises i have to do everyday to learn sing ?

[@saumr6971]

i really enjoy your videos and also follow them quite often. I have this one query.... when does one reach to the highest potential in singing??

[@VerbaVocal]

+saum r Thank you. That's a very hard question to answer, it's different for each person. And some people would say you never actually reach the highest potential - there's always more to learn! But practicing daily will make you improve a little bit every day, and over time (months and years) you'll become wonderful!

[@gearo999]

Riff 1: 1 5 b5 4 b3 1, Blues Scale.

[@marshaschlangen4977]

Are there sheets available as a pdf download? It would be helpful to see what Mark is referencing for the exercises (vocal line as well as accompaniment). Thank you so much!

[@VerbaVocal]

Hi Marsha, I am afraid we weren't that organised. :( Sorry.
