Vocal Warm Up - Brett Manning

[@jeansibelius8903]

He is an honest person. These tips are actually useful.

[@spacenewthought2851]

Thanks Brett for changing my voice from zero to 60% after like months of using singing success training program. Brett you are the best ever. God bless

[@thatpantransguy]

The best advice I've ever received from a vocal instructor, "Let your voice warm up, don't make it warm up." No one has ever suggested that to me before. My voice is crap in the morning and I used to do all kinds of weird things to get it going. This has saved it from wear and tear.

[@PredatoriaMoon]

thank you Brett! and the whole of the team as well! my range has gone insanely high over this past few months. one and a half year to be exact. I could barely hit the highest of baritone but now im a high tenor! could scream all i want like adam lambert! and again i wanna thank you at the bottom of my heart :)

[@thurstoncharles5028]

good day mr manning i have been doing your mastering mix and dynamics program for about 2 years now and i just want to say thank you because it has given me so much freedom its unbelievable i sing in a group that does motown tributes in hotels in greece and all i really can say is thank as always people ask me how do you even sing that high or what technique is this and then i directly tell them to invest in learning from you sir so thank you

[@purkumzuklongkumer6995]

Brett is excellent. Of all I have seen his lessons are the best.

[@briannaderusha1985]

So cool, I watch all your videos and I already do many of the tips and tricks you give! I'm just glad I've been trained properly over the years! Thank you for sharing your talents and direction with all the motivated singers in the world.

[@flaze3]

So true, Brett. The hum is one of my favourite exercises to wearm up with. I sometimes go from that to Italian vowels: [i], [e], [a], [o], [u]. Really gets the voice focused and resonant :)

[@ocean457]

I regret so bad that I didnt get this membership much earlier. This dude changed my voice.

[@HeithinnGydja]

I love when people bypass the information in the video and it's value to comment on the way they are dressed - which has NOTHING to do with the point of the video or lesson AT ALL. Thank you for your pearls of ignorance. That said, I have the Singing Success and Mastering Mix Program. I'm still working on SS but I already hear and feel a difference. The lessons are great and if you can't afford them you can always go to their .tv site and watch the other lessons they have.

[@Psychadelicguy]

my gosh ! that was exactly what i was looking for ... singing in the morning... i was too worried about... thanks very much .i love your videos ! , im very grateful

[@falloutboybabe]

My musical director, at my school, is having tryouts this upcoming week for our schools show choir.. Its for high school and I'm trying out for my freshman year but I feel like I'm going to be terrible around all the upperclassmen that have experience so I checked these videos out. You helped so much and I can now reach higher notes without losing breath or straining my voice! Thanks a lot! (:

[@MrAlexDoyle1]

I LOVE YOU MAN, i have been trying to find a good warm up for months, i have a long range so i have to warm up extensively and most of the time i don't warm up and just go straight into singing and it's messing with my voice, i am defo gettin ur program for my birthday unless i can get money before then ! :)

[@juggalodorette1]

I have volunteered to sing at my father-in-laws memorial. I knew this information but have not practiced it since high school. Thanks for the refresher...it will really come in handy! :)

[@laindaniels6931]

ABSOLUTLEY I AGREE AND THIS HELPS CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE TO SING PERFECTLY AND NOT CROWING

[@Redcorn84]

Breathing exercises are a very important tool in working on tone and breath support issues, but it does very little if anything at all in loosening the vocal cords. Even though parts of your comments were fairly snarky, I am glad to have heard what you had to say. For once again I will say that I agree with your point of pursuing vocal excellence involves the whole body and not just his vocal cords. With that being said, I wish you the best in whatever you do.

[@thespikyhairguy5922]

Enjoyed this...and it reminded me of the excellent group session in Nashville a couple years ago at IMMERSE. I've referenced a lot of your techniques when teaching and highly recommended your program to many of my friends/students, etc. Thanks for sharing this and your other video singing tips.

[@singingsuccess]

The Spiky Hair Guy you bet! Thanks for watching!

[@GAZNEAH]

Thank you so much I struggle to sing on Sunday mornings for my church and that's because I don't warm up enough thanks I will give it a try thanks

[@carllestertaborada6239]

wow, incredible.. his words are just so true

[@XavSch]

it's involuntary sometimes (when breathing) and voluntary other times (singing) it is of great use to learn to control the diafragm, as it gives a lot of power into singing, but you are right about it not being useful to warm up the vocal chords.

[@SIMONSILVA2]

THANKS FOR YOUR WEEKLY TIPS!!

[@iamoddball1]

cheers for this dude.. a lot of help.recording next week and gig this friday ...hope i'm not to late

[@jamyriapettaway13]

[@j.r.9158]

"Like that guy who used to be president"lmfao!!

[@j.r.9158]

toally,but for me the "health" part is just a bonus

[@AiluJay1234567890]

Hike Oganessian nothing wrong in showing off what your proud of. I personally rather not show off too much but I think it's okay to be super proud of what you have as long as you're not completely naked 24/7 walking down the street O_o anyway do, you.. just, do you ^_^

[@ragnarkisten]

Vocal cord's temperature is always constant!

[@ShadesofViolet8]

[@13nickrock]

OMG! This guy is so awesome!!

[@meloniez427]

This will be so beneficial to me tomorrow thank you!!!!

[@christoc99]

Melonie Zappa Also for me as well : )

[@obamamaniacs]

Always good to warm up and maybe even do a little workout before then.

[@MrCowboys222]

great tips: I work with a choir and it has helped them sound 100% better.

[@TheseusTex]

whoa! you're a sunrider dude. I sold that stuff in the 80's. didn't know it was still around! Cali / fortune delight tea!

[@majidkh82]

You are great Brett manning. I am very huge fan of you. I have problem with my voice when I sing or talk my voice comes from nose. like nose voice what should I do?

[@anileshtr]

love uuuuuuuuu brettttttttttt

[@flaze3]

u should check out Brett's vid on formants. It's very interesting from a classical perspective.

[@Myrtlebunny]

so helpful! thank you

[@scampb1955]

Very helpful thanx bro

[@lovelygracie24]

so helpful!

[@benrique2441]

Hey! I have that guitar in the back! :)

[@DjJohnny96]

Thanks for tip, youre good

[@HeithinnGydja]

Try their singingsuccess.tv site. They have a few free videos and for $35/month you can download full length lessons. Try taking smaller, quick breaths, like you're saying "by the way" too much holding back creates resistance on your chords and loss of control - like a balloon you let go of. Melissa Cross is another good coach to look into. Her first CD ZoS covers breathing and proper vocal foundation, etc. The 2nd CD gets into the screaming. First one is VERY valuable with info and only $20

[@MicahMartin]

LIFT before you sing... Helps so much

[@anileshtr]

love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu brettttt

[@sacredsinger]

Big Help!!

[@WatchThatOrangeRoll]

blend with Brett!

[@1234hhj]

thankssss ¡¡¡ please.. why not a visit to Spain for some master classes ?? thankssssssss

[@NumanSerin]

hey Bratt Maning...you are the best... ;)

[@PredatoriaMoon]

@MrPsycoticgamingHD yup i was 14 when i first started,so deep i cant even keep up with any song's notes. i kept practicing,every single morning id do vocal warmups. I can now talk in a deep or high voice anytime i want to. THeres a unique voice register called "mix voice" , basically u start off with a really weak (whisper like) mix voice or you cant find it at all,it requires time for mix voice to be discovered and put in your actual vocal register though. anything else we chat via inbox!

[@Milubee]

Everytime I watch your videos I feel so bad for my voice. I really need to start working on my routines, I usually don't warm up at all :(

[@liriacarmen]

thanks!

[@machoman8699]

Not at all, try doing a vocal fry as soon as you wake up, some people lose the ability to do it as the day goes on because their chords thin out as the speak and so on. If I've been singing a lot in a day, especially high, my chords are zipped up that I can't really get that bare vocal chord vibration. It's not a bad sign. You probably just have thinner chords than myself or brett. Anyway, try it first thing in the morning, chances are you'll get it working.

[@alliecat1941]

i sing basically for fun..I knew there was more to singing to do it professionally. And i can carry a tune..But some are just born with it and some arent.Ive tried to get vibrato in my voice. but it seems very difficult for me to do.And i guess im too old at 72 to try and do much more about it now.

[@elikanashadrack4678]

Nice trainer

[@AngelikaVeeOfficial]

Thank you Brett for the amazing tips ! hehe ! had just a little question. Where can i order the teas? I ve been searching everywhere... and i can't find the "health" section on your website anymore. :-( thank you! Love you!

[@christiandalenavarro1960]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY FRIEND :))

[@Redcorn84]

I agree that you want to consider the whole body in pursuit of vocal training. Tension in the body, often times leads to tension in the voice. However, pedagogically speaking, to imply that you can control your diaphragm is incorrect. You can control the duration of the breath, and how long you retain it and breathing exercises help with that, but you can't consciously manipulate or isolate your diaphragm. Besides, it isn't the only muscle utilized in breathing.

[@jefersonmatos]

The best singing teacher ever together with Kathrin Sodolin. But this is Justin Bieber´s hair... What a shame :) kidding!! His way to explain is so clear... so easy to understand...

thanx... i sing evry sunday at 7:00 am

[@jrmriggs]

thanks

[@terahkasozi]

Hello Brett, thanks for this. Do you have a school in Orlando FL?

[@singingsuccess]

We do not but we do offer Skype sessions if you are interested.

[@xXShockSetsInXx]

I think they;d work for either?

[@josephadekunle3735]

what if your throat feels scarred?Peviously, the upper part of my throats been swollen, it was hard to talk a bit. One day I was singing, and it felt as if I pulled something, then I felt scar , or hurt on the right side of my throat. Now Im putting my on a break. Should I worry?

[@protruckguy]

At what point were any of us trying to accomplish that feat? To flex your diaphragm is to breathe. Breathing/ diaphragm exercises also help to "loosen" the voice along with anything else being warmed up as this is a whole-body endeavor. I hope Jonel considers the whole body in the path to "the voice" and you have a great day full of open mindedness.

[@maiden685]

hey which time will be a perfect time for warmups???morning,dad or evening??plz reply

[@jrllotak2]

@PredatoriaMoon Is it okay if you can give your exercise(s) to strengthen mixed voice? I have a breathy one. ):

[@AshwinEAcharya]

@eltigreoso It's good for hygiene... ;) lol, I agree though, showering feels great for vocals - maybe because there is so much moisture in the air? And you can control the temperature? Good call. :) Ashwin

[@tobyiy]

@radnev007 i guess it does help for warming up, not so much for training your voice

[@silvernitrate10]

Wow, I loved the Bill Clinton voice! You sounded just like him! Awesome! Hahah!

[@PredatoriaMoon]

@MrPsycoticgamingHD oh yess, you muz at any cost prevent chocalate drinks,warm drink will do juz fine! practice in the bathroom too,the steam and moist will sooth ur chords so it will be easier to strecth it! warm up every morning when u wake up to create a better voice for the rest of the day! it will come eventually. to be honest with u it took me about a year and a half . :) from a very deep and scratchy post-puberty voice to a fully developed high tenor voice :)

[@gopdeep]

Some body please help me ... I am going to a birthday party next month in April last and present a song but the journey is for 2 hours so I have to take a bus early morning at 6.30 and the party will start at 10 am which means i have no time and place for warm up . If i do hamming is it all right to start my song ???

[@babynel13]

my voice always starts to feel tight :( I really need help fixing it. I've been focusing on diaphragm exercises to get rid of it :/ any advice? this video kinda helps

[@PredatoriaMoon]

@MrPsycoticgamingHD 15 :) dont fret if it doesnt come quick, trust me it will come. theres once i thouhgt,is this all working? then 3 motnhs later i forgot about everything about singing,actually stopped and that was the time i could scream Lambert!

[@tomaspalsson280]

is it possible to get some tips on vibrato?

[@jimmy747474]

Can someone tell me how to do voice vibrato correctly? I've watched many videos about it so far but none ofthem helped me :( If anyone has good tips / advices for me, I'd be much obliged! Thanks ! :)

[@nobodychamps]

what is the headvoice exercise???

[@1234hhj]

I really need to know exercises to remove air and to close my vocal cords tighter... I want my voice more edgy (less aired) but when i try to put less air my vocal cords (that before were in my control ) now that I sing with less air (I think) they move on their own and Im unable to control them .. Is there any especific part of your cds that I could buy that talks about that? thanks

[@Irfanadam]

Good

[@PredatoriaMoon]

@MrPsycoticgamingHD haha im not sure if that was a break hmm...all i did was i wasnt so crazy bout singing for a while then miraculously my range went up like crazy xD

[@PredatoriaMoon]

@MrPsycoticgamingHD dude this may sound a bit drastic but i bet its true. It is medically proven that if you have a more chubby neck ( being fatter/rounder in size) your vocal chords hangs loose and makes easier for a higher vocal range. i ate a lot since then,gotten fatter,could scream again,before i was like screeching nail. (its up to you if u wanna eat more) practice everyday,range will come eventually and unknowingly.

[@reptaryay]

at 2:19 i swear to god, i thought you were going to say "ahhh mr soderberg, i think today would be a good day to take off my shirt" rofl

[@AndrewBoydMusic]

Hey Brett, what's up..

[@1234hhj]

Brett I havent got money to buy all your cds now.. (Im unemployed for more than 3 years now) but...¿is there any chance of downloading just parts of your cds (paying less money?)

[@LifeLivingStories]

Interesting.... I did alot of this already just by instinct.

[@ithegirlz]

wait ...u actually do smoke pot?

[@robertgrafton]

Drinking a couple glasses of water before bed helps when I need to sing in the early morning ~1-2 hours after I wake up.

[@Kozu313]

@nfarnham2008 they're a pain but it shouldn't bother you that much if you'd sing properly.

[@leonmarques2873]

[@woodedape]

I'm 47 am I too old to learn to sing?

[@christiandalenavarro1960]

what's METHOTICAL??????

[@Redcorn84]

Yes, I will give you that you have some limited control of your diaphragm. Such as breathing in quickly and deeply, but again the amount of conscious control you have of it is a minute amount if any at all.

[@TheButtercup3000]

@radnev007 yes

[@ElectricTurkey1]

@npnaia If he lost the stupid hair, yeah. He could do an awesome Jack impression
