If you can sing it slow, YOU CAN SING IT FAST
2setviolin reference?
@@nefetei4869 yes... yes it was lol
@@cayden4356 haha I thought so
No❤️
Yes! And requires patience :)
Doing this 1.5x speed is an adventure.
im trying 1.25x first 😅
I tried exercise 10 at 1.5x speed and surprisingly I got it! Proof that if you can sing it slow you can sing it fast😊
Me x2
My 3 year old is glaring at me with his hands over his head 😂💀
Me just going: Eeee *nodnodnodnodnodnod* ee

@@hakannamapaula1129 I’ve seen a goat be killed right in front of my eyes before and the sounds they make when they’re in distress is very traumatizing
5& 6, 9 &10 is not just singing exercise its a memory exercise! I can sing it if I can remember what note I'm supposed to be singing. 🤣🤣 this is fun!
I know right?! This is very exciting but I'm also very anxious about hitting the wrong notes lmao
I know that's right. Had to sit out #5 and #9. ☹️😆
True hahahaha i cant even 😂

Me after finishing the exercise: Singing a song full of riffs and runs while thinking how professional i am. Like mariah who?
Was so scared of riffs and runs but I'm shocked how did all 10 exercises fantastically. Thanks alot
@sanjay shukla yes
if you want to be humbled, record yourself doing it
@@liyre4189 this made me giggle💀
Same here!
If you know the foundation with arpeggios complicated runs just need a little braking down nothing more. Slow memorising. And then practice
I developed not only vocal agility but an entire Australian accent by faithfully working out with this video!
Haha that’s amazing 🤩
Me: Ma ma ma ma ma mommmmm Ma ma ma ma ma mommmmm Ma ma ma ma ma mommmmm My mom : WHAT ! Me: Ma ma ma ma ma mommmmm Ma ma ma ma ma mommmmm Ma ma ma ma ma mommmmm My mom : why are you saying mom like that?

@@bread-551 ;) !
Thank you !❤️
THANK YOUUUU
The best
I can't get past exercise 5 without laughing. I am so lost 😂
Same !🤣😭
Omg I’m so glad nobody heard me I didnt get that one 😂
the KEY is putting it in 0.5 speed and mastering each interval. it helps to draw it out too. Whats shes doing is this: up, up, up, down, up, up, same note, down two, down, down. And when your practicing practice with your hands. And then speeding up will be a peice of cake. Accuracy comes first tho❤️❤️❤️
my method is to listen and practice. yes it was difficult for me too but after a few rounds of listening and singing along i got the hang of it! it’s all about practice. ❤️
How? 😂😂
I had it down perfectly until Exercise 5
I had the same result. Im not a singer by any means. Lol
Same! It was more complicated than the others. Oh well, just gotta keep practising!
Same
Yea same😂
Wow, I like these vocal warm ups. I'm a soprano and my voice tend to "fall asleep " if I don't do proper voice warm ups. This is if not, the best vocal warm ups I came across. Especially, the eee part. Thank you!❤
I'm soprano also and I love them too
I'm a soprano and my voice falls asleep too
Same lmao
I'm a soprano too but I find that I would like for this exercises to go higher, the range is very limited in this warm up.
Do only sopranos face this "sleeping voice" problem? I don't know my classification, but it happens with me a lot.
You really lost me at 5, because my memory is so bad. But great exercises! I’ll try again and again until I can master them all
So like am I the only only one who can do the run for 10 just fine and mess up 9 completely
Same
Me too!
same
FR
im the same!! for me it's because i haven't practiced sustaining my breath long enough for a run at such a slow speed. run 10 is easier and actually fun to do bc it doesnt drag on and i can just focus on the changing notes instead of thinking about my breath. short and sweet lol
9&10 are def a MEMORY workout 😂😂😂 love this tho this helps so much ❤❤❤
there's nothing quite like the feeling of absolutely smashing exercise 10 💪😎
You really lost me at 9 😂 great warm up though!
LMFAOOOO when I first heard it, I was like wtf🤣🤣🤣 but i tried it a few times and got it. Don’t give up girl
Same😂
SAME
Same
I learn singing at home because I dont have the money for prof. vocal coaching.... your videos really help me training my voice. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :)
Putting this time time stamp here for me😭 11:56
I’ve done these a handful of times and they have helped me a LOT. My family can tell the difference lol. Thank you!
this is my motivation
So I definitely had problems with excersie 5 for some reason, but the others were easier for me to do! Love this video!
It's not only you kml I stopped there 😭🤣
Fr!!!
It's easier when you use your head voice in the higher part
if you think of exercise 9 by three notes going up and down the scale it’s so much easier
Thank you so much, this really helped me
I love this I have an audition for a school for singing and this is helping heap
I’m back
I have one for a musical too 😭
Same in like 5 day for my school pkay and were doing aladdin jr and I dont need to know how to riff but it would be nice
This was so fun I love riffing and running lmao
5/6 and 9/10 are so hard to get the hang of lmao
Please do not put ads in the middle of the video. This is a singing video. It's not like other types of content where putting an ad in the middle won't do any harm.
You are now my new vocal coach lol
Yes! I was feeling a bit depressed today, then I started to warm up my voice and after that I Tried it this video at 1,5 speed and now, because I was able to do it I feel very happy. Thank you!!! Changed my day☺️
That good
I’m going to practice everyday and give an update in two weeks!
Update?
Update?
updatee?
Update?
For real!? How’s update?
I agree I got lost at 5 I had to replay it over a few times 😂 that was a great practice
Higher would be nice too. Thx for the Video
Higher sheesh I barely made it to the high note they had LOL
this was so fun-
I was shook when i managed to pull off the last one XDD love it!
Oh wow, I was comfortable with everything. This is amazing! I only had issues with the endings, I'd think it's ended only to realize we're still descending, lol. Who else is with me on this?
Just realized practice makes perfect🥲 towards the mid and end was so hard I’m surprised I actually was able to do the end omg with my ADD its hard to focus sometimes and I actually did it today 🎉
omg I'm I'm proud of myself, I did this a few weeks ago and couldn't figure out Number 9 and 10 and yesterday I recognized that there is a rhythm pattern that you can hear if you listen closely! ! I need more practice with it but I can hear the rhythm now 😃
Exercise 9 got me FUUUCKED UP😂😭😭 my memory is shit
I cannot believe I actually did #10 with just a few mistakes at the beginning. Nice exercises
Wow! This was actually fun to do, and throughout doing these exercises I kept hearing myself and thinking "Is that ME?" Didn't sound like me. And it sounded good! Thanks so much for this video! I feel very encouraged ^-^
That was great! Thanks for the brilliant lesson. I struggled with the last 2 exercises.
Same
Same
Same
could you make more of these riffs excercises
I practice it with 1.75 speed and I am doing good. It is also helping me a lot to build vibrato in my voice
Singing them slow was soo hard but i did the faster versions somehow effortlessly
Me:mom mom mom mom momomomomom. My mom: WTH DO YOU WANT!?
I’m a male, and I naturally sing in a higher pitch. This was amazing, and I feel like im improving by doing this. Thank you 🙏❤️
Pro tip: Start every warm up exercise with lip trills, that way you won't stress your voice when doing the following exercises.
i luv this workout really suits my voice
00:44 02:01 02:53 04:13 05:10 07:41 08:46 09:31
It took me about 30 minutes to ace 9 & 10, I threw a tantrum in the process but it felt good to finally do it!
Amazing workout! I'm a professional singer and lost my ability to sing through a stroke and this warm up has already helped me see an improvement thankyou so much! X
0:44 2:01 2:53 4:13 5:10 6:37 7:41 8:46 9:31 11:56
Been doing this for about a week now and FINALLY can do the last exercise! It’s so rewarding to see that progress! Thank you!!
The last one really got me, although the 5th one really tested my memory LOL
9 and 10 whew I gotta practice lol I hope whoever is reading this knows they are loved and needed here ❤
my favorite channel for vocal training!🙌🏼👏🏼
Did anyone else have to keep replaying 9 cause they couldn’t do it or was that just me 😂
For #9 I just couldn’t get the last part for some reason 😭
And then came ten 😅😬🙈
its so weird lmaooo
These are amazing and what strengthening of my voice and extension of my range has occurred since I started this! I was first placed as an alto in my choir and after they heard me singing after working your exercises, they switched me to soprano and just today, I sang, at the end of a trio, and at the end of a song (on long-held notes!) a long-held A and long-held-G just below high C!!!. I couldn't believe it! And yours are the only agility exercises I have done. The fact that you don't tell us what notes we are hitting helps me not freeze up by thinking, "Oh, I can't sing THAT high note or THAT low note." We just sing along and our range expands. I liked exercises 9 and 10 because they felt happy. There was one in a dark minor key that I'm not sure I ever can figure out the pattern in time. I don't like that one. GOOD ON YOU! And thank you! I will support you, too.
I thought it would be hard, but it was all easy.
As a low alto who has a small range in head voice I had a a bit of trouble with 7 & 8 lol :') But by far the best warmup/workout I've seen!!
I was vibing to exercise 7 and 8 ngl 😂
This was exactly what I was looking for! Whhheeeeewwww...... I will get my voice back in shape with this for definite. Started singing back again, missed it so much. It was one of my loves as a child and I neglected it because I let people tell me I should focus on my dancing. Dance is still my 1st baby! Also my Abuelita loved me singing for her and she loved singing as well. I miss her so much. Today is her heavenly birthday! Te amo Abuelita!👑💐🙏 🎂🎼🥺💔💃
Everyone saying that they struggled with #5 but I’m here choking on everything after #7
Exercise 10, was the one that I failed terribly at. It made me laugh! But i will get there soon .
You’re not alone, I sounded like I was yodelling 😂
Lowkey felt it was easier than 9
Ok this was fun I did choir for many years in high school and sing for a hobby now but exercise 10 really got me haha guess I’ll be practicing that one!
Exercises 5 ate me up
Exercise 9 and 10 killed me. I need a lot of work on those. Great video!
I'm an absolute beginner, I mean, I'm literally starting today, no idea of what I'm doing, but I'm enjoying it… :) I think I'll record my practice because I don't if I'm sounding OK.
how are you doing now?
@@motelkitty I feel more confident with my voice now, thank you :)
ok you lost me at exercise 9 but imma keep practicing
My voice wasn’t so clear but I was able to do all the exercises. Great vocal exercise!🙌🏾🙌🏾
Im not sure if this helps you, but i too also had trouble memorizing 5:12, so i used the symbols (-)and (_) to memorize it. The symbol "_" signals a lower note, whereas the symbol"-" signals a higher note. If you see the symbol repeat, this means to do a higher note twice("--"), if you see (_-) this signals that the note is not that high, but also not that low-Here is what helped me complete the riff. (_ah-ah-ah_-ah--ah_-ah_-ah_-ah )....I hope that makes sense, and i hope this helped!
Your channel is so good, the best ❤
I love this channel because it actually tells me what the exercises are doing! great job
I thoroughly enjoyed this! ❤️
I finally started doing this exercise again after a while of not doing my vocal workouts like I was supposed to. I sounded as bad as I did when I first found this exercise back in February of last year. I just got to keep doing it every day. I can’t be slacking.
You can do it! ❤
@@y4477l thank you
Wow! This is great, I enjoyed every bit of it
Oh! I wish the exercices would hit higher notes to really warm up and stretch.
Great exercises! Thanks!
LOVE THIS!!!! REALLY HELPED 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
