YOU ASKED FOR IT! Tammy's Warm Up Routine.

[@brysear1252]

What an amazing controlled dramatic voice. So lovely and such a personality. I am so glad to have discovered her!

[@virginiawai8485]

Brysea R , go see her performances, she is amazing.

[@rebeccadebroglie742]

I really love your voice and would love to hear you talk about your breathing and any excercises you do to strengthen/maintain appoggio!

[@johnclingmanchappell5419]

I've watched this vid since July 2017; STILL learning from it! Ty, Tammie!

[@joeallen7778]

You are a great teacher, an amazing singer and a lovely person

[@theoryismypraxis3538]

What an amazing training regimen from a woman of amazing voice and beauty!

[@belcanto34]

Goodness girl, you have a super instrument! Great exercises.

[@ternitamas]

definitely gonna try those, warm ups are very personal but it's interesting to try new ones, sometimes they become your favorites because they fit your own voice perfectly. Thanks

[@vitroz]

I was at the Walküre with you and Gergiev. You were the best thing up there! Very inspiring to this fellow singer.

[@danielterry5037]

I totally do the ghost scales, too. It's part of every one of my warmups and a lot of my peers will make fun of me on occasion because it makes them think that the conservatory is haunted! I love your videos. You have such a positive and inspiring energy and you're a joy to watch in these videos!

[@worshiptag-togetheraftergod14]

Loved your warm-ups! Subbed! Please do more on breathing techniques and mixed voice skills! 😍🙏🏼

[@justjacquieb]

I just watched a video of you singing Porgi Amor [because I am preparing the aria] and my God you are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm still finding my voice and your channel has been so helpful. I wish I could have a lesson with you, so you can tell me what I'm missing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@exitstageleft2379]

Jacqueline Black hello there! Thank you so much. That's very kind of you to say. If you ever have a question and want to pick my brain, I will do my best to answer and help! If you PM my Facebook business page, that's probably the easiest way to have a conversation. All the best! Have fun with Countess. Some of the best music ever written!

[@carole4174]

Thank you so much! I've been trying various vocal warm up videos to help with my upcoming opera audition(my first), and I just found your video. Let me say, your warm ups are by far the best I've done to open my throat and get the best sound out of it - Hugs😘🙏

[@MiguelBorrallo]

You are truly amazing Tamara!!! When will we have you singing in Madrid?? Would love to have a lesson with you... I'm Tenor! Congratulations for your wonderful voice and your wonderful singing!!

[@princ3ssMusicifiy]

Dear Tamara! Thank you so much for sharing your warmup routine. It's really helpful. Sending love and a warm hug from Ukraine.

[@xtina1fan]

I love this, I think this is the best vocal warm up I ever saw! Plus you’re beautiful 🥰💕😘

[@betsyhorne7733]

Oh my gosh I never knew about that lip thing! You really do hear yourself better than with the cupped ear!!!! Cool!

[@ananigma7]

A beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. You are my inspiration 🎶♥️

[@LPproduction333]

[@ilianakenova7214]

Hi, from Bulgaria! Thank you for your lovely idea to share your vocal exercises with us! It is very helpful for me! Thank you!☺

[@CwjrB3]

I really would love to see more videos like this.

[@MrStefdj]

Such a fantastic soprano you are!(how Yoda of me) I love your sense of humor and u wanting to share your knowledge with others. Very refreshing and i am very happy to have found your channel! Best, Stefan

[@toscadonna]

Thank you! Great voice and information. This was very kind of you. Best wishes!

[@tommieboy1657]

I think you're an amazing singer (although I haven't had the fortune to hear you live :( ) and I just adore the way you use channels like these to reach out to your audience and to other (younger) singers. What I notice is that the exercices you do are really 'vocal' exercises. But how do you 'warm-up' your body? Do you do breathing exercises, yoga, sports, core training, whatever...? Or has it become something like a 'natural thing' that you don't have to think about anymore? And on a different topic (but still related): when you go out on stage to perform, are you still thinking about technique at all? Or are you completely 'acting' as the character without any technical or musical distraction?

[@Lechatnoir3]

Love you Tamara!! ❤️

[@CwjrB3]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUR VOICE ESPECIALLY YOUR HIGH NOTES!!!!!!!

[@wendyqu7597]

Wonderful technique to test and strengthen breath up and down connection. I will practice this way daily. Thank you!

[@wisemenstillseekhim3114]

Painful....but good warmup. Love to hear you sing a song!

[@wendyqu7597]

Thank you for the daily instruction. I practiced these days. It helped me. 👍

[@Zamstein]

Love that scoop exercise!

[@ambyredaniel1986]

I love this! You have a fantastic voice and the videos are hilarious!

[@exitstageleft2379]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching! :)

[@Yoavmw]

God bless your soul Tammmy. So Generous and down to earth Cheers from Israel ❤️

[@goldie5788]

Your voice is the real deal 😍 ❤❤ Such a rich low notes and warm high note. So unique ✨️✨️✨️ How can we get the same voice quality? Like where do we aim? Please make a video about your technique 🙏

[@rouenpucelle]

Breathtaking voice! ❤️

[@silverkitty2503]

oh my god that lower reg ee exercise is how i got my low notes!

[@Laura-cq1np]

Mil gracias , que talento y que explicación, sin palabras.

[@AngeliFerrette]

You are amazing! Looking forward to hearing your Aida at WNO.

[@inabambina1338]

You are so amazing!! Thank you so much for that video! Could you do a video on breath and support? Thanks so much! Greetings from a Greek fan!

[@sherribugd3799]

Thank you for posting this video. I am trying to get my voice back in classical shape ( I'm a mezzo) and it has been a struggle without my college voice professor. This helps. I'd love any suggestions you may have. 🌹

[@MelpomeniFineArt]

Great video! Brava! Thank you for sharing!

[@yuribotello3170]

hi Tammy! I just LOVED this video because its so simple and it's good not only because it looks great but I finally found a warm up video with someone who has the big voiced "problem" like me lol so this warm up really suits with me

[@senicanastasia]

I can't believe I'm just finding your channel now! Hope you still have the to make tutorials and whish you continuous success!

[@ghuyakalika]

What an excellent voice! I would love love love more videos on technique. But I see you haven't been very active on KZbin lately. So sad.

[@helenacorreia7613]

What an amazing voice you have!!! I feel like shit for not being able to even warm up properly.

[@tamarascherette4946]

Everyone starts somewhere. Smile. Take a deep breath, & start warming up!

[@CwjrB3]

I'm also curious to know if you maybe could make a video on some of things dramatic voices and dramatic sopranos deal with in comparison to the things say lyric sopranos deal with. Like struggles of rep, what maybe your voices go through in sickness, acoustic challenges, voice being too loud at times, issues with conductors, vocal differences and experiences as a dramatic voice say then lyric or smaller voices etc.

[@marisolsoprano]

Thanks for this!

[@GrainneGillisContralto]

Loved your tip about resonance at the end there! Do you have any other exercises that help resonance? x

[@VeeBee81]

very nice!!

[@guada_cristina]

Loved it!!!! thank you so much!!! I was wondering which Stacatto excercises would you do or recommend . Thank you!

[@exitstageleft2379]

Guadalupe, here is a video response for a staccato exercise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmmQiamijdV2bac Thanks for watching and all the best!

[@GloriaJanvier]

Oh; you are awesome!!!! I wish you great success!!!!

[@ItsJustCara]

[@MediaChild76]

Thank you for sharing your process. I cannot wait to experience your Leonora at Lyric. Toi! Toi! Toi!

[@candie5150]

WOW, you sure can sing! You have a lot of "body" to your voice. I love it! I want to be able to sing better.

[@silvijaradjen8675]

[@kailyjamessokame.6028]

Very helpful!

[@kailyjamessokame.6028]

P.s. beautiful voice! (And personality) :)

[@user-kd9qs3gr7g]

💖

[@CwjrB3]

What's the highest note in your range or highest you've ever sang and how is your voice so resonant? It's a boom of sound.

[@banuschult8650]

Amazing...please more Videos like that.

[@keithrichards9595]

WOW!! Very Great! thank you!!

[@bl3805]

How do you smoothly connect between the chest and head? I have a break between the two and I am working on it but it is still hard

[@zahmerejohnson4656]

Can you make a video on vocal technique? proper way to use our instruments

[@inkmere3336]

Amazing

[@dgreat5788]

I just discovered u! GREAT!..LOVE THIS VIDEO🤗

[@KGMsc88]

Hey, I love these warm-ups but the only thing is would you mind doing this video over again because on these high notes it was hard to tell what you were doing on some of the warm-ups? Thanks.

[@katherinedianawatson]

Thank you! This was so helpful!!

[@catherinecangiano9231]

Wonderful singer. Sweet and lovely person.

[@mariesabineclemencon]

very interesting thank you Tammy

[@MrSukmidik]

Sam hankey videos brought me here 👌🏾👌🏾 good shit keep it up

[@1nananani]

How often do you practice? Is there a way you can show what is your practice plan? From then (college or even high school) to now.

[@stefygombos3858]

Hi Tammy thank you for the video. Would you be able to do a presentation on techniques to sing very high notes in full voice please? I am a student soprano

[@oksanakoshuba5792]

[@stephenbeale4765]

you actually sang a bottom d... 3 octaves!

[@stephenbeale4765]

plus you were great at the proms last night :)

[@Zamstein]

Wow I cannot get my voice to sound as forward as it does when I pull my lip out. So frustrating. I love lax vox exercises :) and Estill voice method.

[@banuschult8650]

Woww...just woww..

[@aacha548]

Thansk for this warmup. Do you do the ba ba be in your head voice or chest voice? It sounds like head to me when you start.

[@ayselcankatan]

Brava👏👏👏

[@Laura-cq1np]

Dear teacher, thanks for your knowkedge about technique, sincerety; but " accompanying to the student and " " stop" to explain. Fed up with " ghost" videos, without a face or leaving the piano alone...to teac😅. could you prepare excercices to reach the " scales" notes, like in..." Casta Diva"- ..' queste vogio..and a huge high scale of notes... Thanks in advance...❤

[@DL-xn6ul]

I loved your vídeo

[@secretplaceasmr]

Is it possible to strengthen your middle voice from airy to really strong like your are doing?

[@tamschloo]

Hi there, Anytime you feel any air escaping, think of not blowing out your air or getting rid of your air. Think of spinning and of resonance, NOT volume. You're not looking for a loud middle you're looking for a flexible and secure middle. On any exercise that you want, try thinking of producing sound on an "inhale." It's just a way to trick your brain into not overblowing. Also, your breath coordination needs to line up in a way that you aren't "tucking up" or overblowing your air. Think of a steady consistent stream. In order for that to happen you will have to temper your appoggio or, to put it another way, balance how much your abs and diaphragm are dancing. They have to be working together the whole time, when one leads or follows too long, tension or lack of tension (air escaping) can happen. I hope that helps. AGAIN, I always want to stress that any advice I give is based on what works for me, I haven't heard you sing personally so I can't diagnose exactly what you're doing. I hope this points you into a direction of self discovery for what will or won't work for you. All the best!

[@atisriati5883]

Good voice I love your video

[@CwjrB3]

what's your highest note?

[@raffyajaaja1122]

Hi Tamara, do you do breathing exercise before warming up? Thanks. :)

[@exitstageleft2379]

rafael pacifico hi there! I will do a calming breath technique just to get me started. Inhale 4 counts hold 2 counts, exhale 6 counts hold 2 counts. Repeat the process until you feel relaxed and in tune with your breath. You can use it as a challenge also to train for longer phrases all you have to do switch up the count numbers. Another exercise is the do scales on lip trills until your air is completely out, each time trying to go a little longer than before. I’ll do some percussive exhales with my lips in an “u” position. Just some staccato exhale pulses (kind of like you see in movies when women are giving birth). Really engage your abdomen, your tummy should move a lot. Ps that’s not how your breathing should function it’s just something to get the breath ready to work. Like a stretch before running. Hope that helps!

[@raffyajaaja1122]

thank you very much! it is a big help! :)

[@janasteele9358]

Can you talk about technique when you can ?

[@carolweinrod-velez290]

are you on FB? Is there a way to contact you? I love your video classes...do you teach privately Carol V.

[@LH-xo2hf]

R u a mezzo soprano or a soprano?

[@exitstageleft2379]

Is this Lily? I want to make sure so I don't repeat myself. :)

[@LH-xo2hf]

Yes, thank you for answering all of my questions and I'm sorry that I took up your time with those questions.

[@exitstageleft2379]

No problem! I just wanted to make sure I answered the comment. :) Have a good one!

[@LH-xo2hf]

You too, thanks again!

[@MrSkylark1]

Fine, entertaining, personality in keeping with contemporary singing. The vocal approach is very different from FLAGSTAD, greatest Dramatic Soprano of the century.

[@bradleyqnoble]

wet...

[@naomihaya5689]

There is no such thing as head or chest voice. Good open E vowel

[@KajiVocals]

Nonsense.
