[@v.m.2225]

Thank you so much for this workout! I had a severe larynx infection in December-February this year and my voice breaks when reaching the high notes now. I have to concentrate on the note I like to sing and somehow force it out, and even then can't hold it for long... Before I had no problem with this and did reach them nearly effortlessly, with a clear sound. I am so sad it is gone but hope to regain the ability with exercise and singing.

[@tiffanyallen2326]

Thanks! It seems as if I am a mezzo soprano after trying these warmups! What is a good test to know for sure?

[@gabii4802]

Tiffany Allen simply play scales on the piano (i don’t have one so i downloaded on my phone), and start middle and sing each note, going higher and higher until it’s not comfortable for you to do so anymore. same thing going down from middle. generally if your best notes are from the third to the 5th scale, you’re a mezzo!

Still amazing ❤🎉😊

[@EmeraldChen-g8c]

For friends that are experiencing some weird vocal changes during mid school to high school it is because your voice is changing to more mature voice so you might want to let ur voice go easy for that period of time which is usually about anywhere from 12 to 15? 16? 17? 18????? It depends on ur body how long it takes😅😅😅😊

[@EmeraldChen-g8c]

I WOULD SAY THAT DURING THAT TIME U CAN DRINK SOME SOOTHINGTEAS AND MAYBE( depends on how your throat reacts to sugars and “garbage foods’) eat less sugars and garbage foods.😢😢😢 though I love “GARBAGE FOODS”😅😅

[@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394]

Just about got to the very highest note! About 2 or 3 from the top of the scale, so hopefully that will come. I have read that as well as being a great singer, actor etc, you are also a dancer. That is very interesting because I am a fully trained ballroom and latin American dancer, but I am more adept in the latin side. I am semi pro and an ex-competitor - just thought you would like to know! My grateful thanks again.

I'm so glad you liked them! Any other kinds of videos you think would help singers?

[@nightingem]

SingersGuide I'm not the original commenter, but perhaps a video about singing in head vs chest voice and bridging the vocal break? I know I have a lot of trouble with that. Anyway, thank you so much, this video is super helpful!

[@KristensClassroom]

That's a great suggestion! Definitely something I address in my music studio each week! Easiest tip to work on this: do at least 5 minutes of vocalizing daily and focus on your breath. A lot of times singers can feel they are reaching the break and tensing up, making it even more difficult to adjust into head voice! More tips coming soon! -Kristen

[@nightingem]

SingersGuide Thank you so much!! I'll definitely use this advice! I'm planning on trying out for a role in a muscial where there are just a few notes I have to use chest voice for and the transition is so awkward. >//< (also wow you responded so quickly and nicely and just aaaaah you are such a cool vocal-coach person)

Question: when it gets really high, all the sound comes out of my nose. If I try to open my throat more, it’s harder. Is this expected? Are these “whistle tones?”

I’m afraid it sounds “screechy” up there too

P.S.The last warm-up you did, 'the lip trill, would have been better to do in the beginning as that's another good warm-up to do as you are just starting out, then you can go into the humming ones.

[@grasshopperatlaw]

Hi Kaitlyn: I am sorry but I disagree. I think humming is the right way to start. Yes, the lip trills could have come after humming, but I don't think before that. I hope you don't mind my perspective on this subject. James
