[@KellyChandrapaul]

It was me that asked for more warm downs☺️ Thank you so much Jeff💃 ~Kelly, from South Africa

[@JeffRolka]

You're very welcome! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

[@Blackthorne369]

I always find exactly what I need vocally on your page. Thank you so, so much!

[@JeffRolka]

You're so welcome!

Thanks for this, Jeff! Not only are these exercises super soothing, they’re also fun for harmonizing (in multiple ways). Just a suggestion for adventurous souls 🤹🏻‍♀️

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent!!!!! Thank you for that, and enjoy harmonizing along! I always hope that folks will find innovative ways to use the videos! Thank you for telling me about it! Best! Jeff

Only a genius like Jeff Rolka would be smart enough to put up a warm down video . I always questioned why and what for is a warm down exercise and how important is it . As you mentioned your a runner and I have noticed you are in great shape Jeff Rolka, I've never seen ironically a video on warming down after running. Running by far is the greatest exercise for vocalist .How important is it to warm down ?

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you so much for your comment! I have to admit, I didn't used to think too much about warming down for voice, but the more that I sang, the more it helped to focus my voice and mind at the end of the day, so here we are! Enjoy the videos and enjoy the channel in general! Thanks for being here! Jeff

Jeff, thank you. Your videos are truly fantasic!! They are getting me through auditions and such whilst I save and budget to afford the cost of a singing teacher

[@JeffRolka]

Excellent. That's why I'm doing this!

[@SeliahK]

Thank you so much! Your exercises have been such a huge help. I appreciate these, and your willingness to share your time and skill.

[@JeffRolka]

You're so welcome!

Such bliss! Must try the outer octaves in tomorrow’s warm-up. I love to squeeze a P4 descent and M3 ascent between key areas - so smooth 🙏

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you for that! Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Jeff

[@jpmusic2441]

[@atiag6299]

Hi Jeff, I've only heard about cool-downs recently, and yours sound to me the simplest and more straightforward. Thanks a lot! And I'm curious, what makes for a cool-down. Is it the descending of the notes in the exercise? Because I noticed that contrary to warm-ups which tends to go up (like 1-3-5-8, and then they repeat while gradually travelling to the right side of the piano), these cool-downs seem to go the other way round. Even your second exercise is travelling to the left. Is my understanding correct?

[@JeffRolka]

Yes! I'd say you have it mostly figured out. The idea is to settle down into our thyroarytenoid dominant singing voice (chest voice) in a gentle but focused way, hence the use of the /i/ vowel. We want to get back to neutral phonation so we're ready for tomorrow. Best! Jeff

[@philip7825]

Great explanation! And what's special about the /i/ vowel?
