Thanks so much Jeff - just fyi & your followers - I find this helps me relax so much - gentle warm ups are actually lovely on the entire body. I'm so darned nervous that these gentle exercises really help me. ❤
Thank you for sharing your love of music. I deleted my last comment, which was a bit aggressive and confrontational. I apologize. Bottom line is that your exercises are the perfect way for me to warm up in the car. Thank you!
When singing the 3rds exercise I thought “it was rather odd he used the IV chord over the 2nd degree” but enjoyed the “IIm7” sound it generated with the 2nd being on the bass. To hear you talk about it openly at the end was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one 😁 thank you for your throughly thought work!
My pleasure! I knew it was a bit of a weird choice, but I want to get non-chord (but diatonic) notes in as much as I can. Thanks for watching and a big thanks for watching through to the end!!!
Thanks to these warmups I’m finding that baritenor is the best range for me indeed! Having some formal exercises to train vocals also helps with voicing on wind instruments such as the sax. Thank you Jeff!
Woke up with no passagio after a *very* smoky Midnight Mass for Xmas eve. Have to do another early Xmas morning, so where am I? Getting warmed from the best! Thanks, Obi-Wan-Rolka!
Worked with this video today and love it very much. I am currently on a self imposed rest and recovery for my voice, which recently i had wore out and over used and let fall out of shape. I am discovering all your baritone, baritenor videos not only a time where I need to take much better care of my voice. I neglected the proper care and overused it, partly because I need music in my daily life (I need to sing), not just for creative joy, but for emotional wellness (I think a lot of us do), but I must be more disciplined and rest when I need to, and regularly do proper warm ups and exercises, and your videos and your teaching are the best match for my vocal range and what I really want to do. Long, but lastly, and ironically, I just posted a live solo acoustic song on my channel recorded on July 21, a day my voice was in shambles (I managed to get thru the song) but Ive been resting every since and just easing back into it with your videos. I'll sing later this week or next week after I rest my voice more. Thank you for sharing your videos and knowledge. I'm excited about learning from this experience and becoming a better, healthier singer.
I haven't heard of Baritenor. What is the typical range. Have you done videos showing the different vocal types and the characteristics, range and for lack of a better term how the different voices sound. I don't have a tenor's upper range. When fully warmed up and relaxed I get up to G#4. Most of the time it's F#.4. My low end is Bb2 Generally at 72, I focus more on the storytelling part of singing. I am new to all of this. When I reached 70 it was the Lockdown. I decided to work with a professional voice teacher, as I am not getting any younger. I have no idea what I am going to focus on singing. I only know that I want to do something where there's an audience and I get paid. I have a friend who performs on Broadway. He sais His Voice is Baratone. But while are ranges are similar William's voice is very deep. It's the kind of voice that demands you pay attention! On the low end my voice is kind of raspy, but as I go higher it's clear and sort of like a tenor but with more something I don't know what. In the long run as long as you develop good technique, know your range plus your strengths and weakness does it really matter what name you call it
