Singing Warm Up Baritone April 2020

[@10PointsOff]

Bass baritone here giving thanks for the end section!

[@teddyj.3198]

What’s your range

[@tomhockneyunplugged7856]

​@@teddyj.3198 Same guy here on a musical account I made after posting this comment. Been practicing with Jeff for about 10 months now and my range is B1-G4, where before it was D1-D4, and barely any control in my upper range.

[@teddyj.3198]

@@tomhockneyunplugged7856 Our ranges are pretty similar. I’m C2 - Bb4

[@dudupitta]

Me too!!!

[@samuelbitran1890]

Every warm up gets even better. This is my favourtie so far. Your experience in lessoning baritones is clearly ample; the range was just perfect (until the end haha). Thank you very much. For my fellow baritones out there, I have two tips: Firstly, before a singing warm up I recommend breathing exercices that get your blood flowing, or doing jumping jacks or other physical execises, this makes it way smoother to go through the warm up. Secondly, although you should always be kind and careful with your voice, it usually is healthier than you think. Sometimes in order to get rid of a certain ache or hoarseness (i don't know if that's a real word), it's better to practice some mindful and soft singing: personally, lip trills do a great job in stretching and smoothening my range.

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you! Great tips too! Jeff

[@jimmiscuous]

Trying this one out instead of my normal rolka routine!

[@JeffRolka]

Let me know what you think! Jeff

[@jimmiscuous]

Jeff Rolka Really great! I’ve been doing your warm ups for 4 years now and I’ve gone from really struggling with my upper range to hitting that F4 effortlessly.

[@calderlevine7489]

No dislikes! Jeff Rolka is an Internet treasure!

[@Dln_rsls]

Thanks for the new content Jeff! You are one of the few people who covers the baritone range ❤️

[@andrewmass1414]

[@thhristov]

This works for tenor too! Also, when he kept going lower I was like - do people even have these low voices my throat is burning😄

[@ikenasti]

I do. 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@swtwilm]

I live down there. I've always been envious of you tenors!!! ;-)

[@ikenasti]

Thanks for the bass range at the end. Love this warm up. Hits my full range.

You, sir, are a gem. Thank you for all your wonderful warm-ups.

[@lucasvalencia7241]

Thank you Jeff for the Baritone love

[@DustyGrant]

Every time I do this warmup, at the beginning where Jeff pleasantly says, "Hello Baritones!" I always find myself saying, "Hello Jeff!" out loud.

[@JeffRolka]

Why Hello there! Thanks for watching! Jeff

[@DustyGrant]

@@JeffRolka Love the videos! Thank you!!!

[@RavenKondor]

I swap between Baritone and Tenor for these awesome vids. It's fun to see whether it's a Tardis lamp vid...or a lava lamp vid :-) Thanks for all these great warmups.

[@JeffRolka]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Jeff

[@alexanderruiseco]

Thank you! Yes, I did a bit of review while I was putting this together! Jeff

[@mikehopkins4040]

I am a lead in Barbershop and I got righ down too the basement .Loved that checky smile near the end.

[@JeffRolka]

I just have to smile when I start playing the low notes, thinking that there are people out there who can sing them! Absolutely love it! Jeff

[@jorelldevera2586]

Piano cam is so dope and helpful

[@mamymimma]

I love to check which notes his hands are playing👏

[@taraspysarskyi2136]

[@whatcolleone5579]

Jeff thank you very much for this, the best content maker as always. You also remind of of Gina from Brooklyn Nine-Nine making these videos an extra spice and colour! Thanks

[@paisagarra]

Two months ago I discovered your baritone warm up from 2016 and every single day I have practiced with it. I just saw this one today and I'm really glad there is another option in the menu for warm ups. Thank you Jeff, got my subscribe right now! Greetings from Colombia

[@elvuelodelcabure]

Maaaannnn, I'm very happy, you managed to get me to that low note of the finale. Thank you very much for your videos and your work, they are very good. In my daily playlists to vocalize there are at least 5 videos of you. Thank you very very much.

[@memememememe5981]

Hey thank you so much you helped me with an audition for varsity choir thank you!!

[@AsherSotelo]

You’re awesome Jeff! Thank you for your videos!!

[@SkylerMorgan]

I love the editing. I find it helpful see the keys played. The end was a fantastic surprise! Thanks again.

hello jeff a beautiful morning in Bs As .The sun is shining and I am vocalizing with you best

[@raphaelworkman2170]

I used it this morning. Excellent! Thanks Jeff!

[@JeffRolka]

Fantastic!

[@gegemec]

Oh ... a mention of us basso profundos!! And down to a C, but hey ... I was ready to keep going a couple more notes. A great warmup in these times of lock up, thanks again mate.

[@JeffRolka]

Indeed, I try to do what I can for the basses. It's just so low! In my mind I can't help but smile thinking that a voice goes there. Never fails to delight me when I have someone like that in the studio. Best, Jeff

[@ainuraainura1534]

Thanks a lot dear Jef brother , your job is really helps for every voices to sounds better even not for singing it's useful for talking voice

[@feierabendpoeticcumbia9290]

LOVED IT! really challenging, bringing to other voice territories, thanks!!

[@andrewmcfarlane6934]

Fantastic. I love your warm-ups they help so much.

[@peterede533]

Hi, I have tried a few of your videos and thought this one was particularly good. I found the shots of your hands on the keys surprisingly helpful.

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words! Jeff

[@Luziao]

Hi Jeff! Planning on doing a video on vocal dynamics? Would be greatly appreciated.

[@arkofthesea]

You’re awesome brother

[@rakeshchopra9072]

Great practice, Sir. Thanks

[@jj53368]

Thank you Jeff!

[@DustyGrant]

Love this! Love the ending 🤘

[@bertramjohnson6624]

I just started with your videos this week. Haven't taken lessons in years. Used to work in musical theatre and the did some damage to my voice in the chorus of the opera. Didn't use proper technique. Pushed too much. This is the third baritone video I've done with you and saw comments about the end. I was able to match you down there. Now I'm not sure what think about my voice. Either way, thanks for helping find a way to reconnect to art in this difficult time.

[@JeffRolka]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching and trying out a few of the videos. As you're getting back into things, if I may suggest, take it slowly. If you've done some damage in the past, take this time while restarting to assess what wasn't working and evaluate your technique. I wish you all the best! Jeff

[@jasondotj]

Great warm-up, as always Jeff! And I watched and listened as I was working along with it and really did not think you would go below D2.... And you did... LOL. Great warm-up. F2 or E2 maybe on a good day for a low note for me, but still a great warm-up! :)

[@xiaoguangye5316]

Last part is fun!!

[@dadodetres]

Thanks for the extra low notes

[@JeffRolka]

You're welcome! We've got to take care of the low tones! Best, Jeff

[@karmannb2550]

Great content, Jeff! Dig the piano cam!

[@LucidVision1]

yeeeeee new rolka warmup!

[@JhanirFower]

Yeah, I stopped at the last one. High quality as ever, lovely.

[@carstenbreum9981]

Thank you! Very helpful that you show pictures of the piano. I would appreciate if you where a bit more helpfull in helping with the starting note, sometimes I am not sure if you demonstrate an octave higher, or whether I am supposed to sing the same note as you ?

[@JeffRolka]

Will do! Thanks for that! Jeff

[@carstenbreum9981]

@@JeffRolka Great!

[@babyboomeracousticcovers]

Like the new hair cut !

[@patrykmarek3029]

I started laughing at the end and then I looked at you and you were smiling! Haha! I was like "Hell no! That's too low!" haha, thanks!

[@JeffRolka]

I always smile when I get really down there on the piano! I've heard vocalists do it, but not having those pipes myself it's always a wonderful novelty! Enjoy! Jeff

haha,got me there Jeff!Kept on going and didn´t make it to the last note base note

[@mustakim2144]

Thank you 😄

[@julianm1194]

I consider myself a baritone for right now because I've had no formal training yet except being in choir. I have a very bright sound for a baritone and my voice could hit those really notes at the end. I also have a head voice that hits E5 on my best days what do u think this means?

[@stefanrusu3562]

I can't sing a C2 but I can sing a D2 and I have 1 year since I start to sing. I don't know if I'm a bass, bass-baritone or a baritone. When I wake up my lowest note is a C2. You can tell me what type of voice I'm please? Btw my highest note in chest was a G#4 for 5 seconds.

[@sampleacct8530]

Thank You. =)

[@pajaro_piedra]

Please upload all to Spotify!

[@JeffRolka]

There are complicated reasons why that isn't happening. Sorry. Jeff

[@brianlaz]

sweet I was just wondering if Jeff has any new baritone warmups

[@JeffRolka]

There you go! Enjoy! Jeff

[@Schlagwerker1988]

the last one is hilarious-I just thought-wow-that´s low-hahaha

[@codymclaugh]

Woo... I think my last on-pitch note there was the e-flat. That was rough.

JEFF SOMETHING ABOUT FARINGE VOICE? THANKS

love u

[@jayaflower]

nice.

awesome as alawyas but 3:22 hits me hard, he's really good at voicing.

then you are i California, a re you living in san diego , los angeles,or another city? my grandfather loved los angeles in the 40s before the second war

[@JeffRolka]

Indeed! Up north near SF! LA is great! I've always enjoyed my time there! Jeff

[@angel44480]

What it is the highest note in this warm up?

[@agustinmacias9024]

jajaja dindt stop till end!

[@DominicCruz]

Man I tried to hit all of the notes and that ending was hard lol. Noted that I am not a bass-baritone lol

[@jacobb1809-x1h]

What would you recommend to reduce strain on the "eee" and "ohh" vowels during this routine??

[@JeffRolka]

Vowel modification as appropriate to tessitura. Best!!! Thank you for watching! Jeff

[@gerardb7]

Almost die in the last seconds!

[@serenetonero]

what do u do when it gets high, do u try to get the note or drop out?

[@JeffRolka]

It really depends on your technical development. If you're comfortable making a smooth transition across the secondo passaggio then do so. If not, lay out until it comes back into your thyroarytenoid dominant singing voice range. Best! Jeff

[@serenetonero]

@@JeffRolka thanks

[@Kalikid98]

lol at the 17 min mark I had my mouth in a giant O Shape

[@zerberk]

where's that comment with the timestamps?

[@jasonmero2245]

A little over 6 months ago I was a coloratura soprano, now I’m thoroughly enjoying singing bariton!!! (for anyone wondering: I’m a transman on testosterone for 6 months now)

[@donovanackleyiii]

I've been using Jeff's triple A system and Bass Baritone videos (referred by my voice teacher) for 2 years. Was an alto myself, and even that vocal transition has been a doozy to get used to (I sing basso profundo now) so kudos to you, man, coming from coloratura soprano! And thank you so much, Jeff Rolka, for the safe, approachable, inclusive, and effective videos!

[@jasonmero2245]

Donovan Ackley III I tend to shock people I haven’t seen in a long time when I open my mouth 😂😂 Kudos to you too though! Glad to see I’m not the only one having to relearn how to sing!

[@metheusBound]

1 person couldn't hit the bottom few notes

[@jabba8003]

Thank you for this new warm up video, Jeff! I sticked for a long time with your Warm Up Baritone Full Range from 2016. Now I have another one to warm me up, yeah! :-D Also a great improvement with the second cam on your fingerboard!

[@JeffRolka]

You're welcome! Love your user ID!!! If you mean the video that has the blue thumbnail - this video is influenced by that one, so you may notice some similarities as well as slight adjustments. I think putting the two together would make for a very comprehensive vocal study. Thank you for watching! Enjoy! Jeff

[@jabba8003]

​@@JeffRolka Thank you :-) Yes, the video with the blue thumbnail. Thats a great idea. It's so enjoyable warming up with you, in my next warmup I putt both videos together :-)
