OMG my chorus does this everyday and I have been just sitting back because I couldnt do this! This actually worked! I will share this with as much people as possible so that you will have more subs keep up the good work!
I'm a 65 year old man learning how to sing during the pandemic. Now, with lip trilling I can really annoy my fellow passengers when I'm using public transit! Seriously, I love your instructions and I am learning so much from you. I appreciate your teachings and am looking forward to more. Thank you.
@@letsgobrandon4504 Took me hours of trying hehe, and sometimes I have a hard time doing it even now 😅, It's hard for me to do it for long periods of time.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WORKED! Thank you so much! I've been trying to do this for so so long and now I can! Thank you so much! I can't express how happy I am!!!
Autumn Ricketts, I am so happy to hear. I made this video exactly for someone like you who can do it but just needed the step-by-step (like myself when I first started out)! Congrats on getting it and I wish you all the best with your singing :)
After 1 year of choir, Musical Theater, and Show choir, I couldn’t have asked for a better video to find. I always struggled with knowing how much I should be breathing, but this literally cured me😭 Thank You!
Same, lol! I can almost always hit C7 doing lip roll during warm-up but I can't really hit it otherwise or stay on the note for a prolonged period of time 😂😅
@@melanie-rosannastevens7861 Hey, im trying to learn lip trills, I can do the acutal thing, Im just struggling to do it with pitch/sound/acutal noises. Do you have any advice?
I'm not a singer, but a teacher, which is almost as hard on your voice, I think. I'm starting phonotherapy and couldn't for the life of me do this right. Thank you so much for this video, it helped a lot! I love how concise and straight to the point it is. =)
Thank you so much! I am someone who has a diastema at my two front teeth. I couldn't get it immediately, however; a few minutes later I realised that if I kind of block behind the gap lightly with my tongue it works fine! Now I just need to practice doing it without the fingers supporting. Subscribed!
Hi Genesis U., I'm so happy that you were able to do the lip trill. And, thanks for sharing how you were able to make it work. That's really helpful for others who might a diastema as well. Great work and keep singing :)
Thank you so much - so many choir directors have tried to teach me and now I can. All always asked me to relax but the simple trick of what you do with the hands did the trick! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH! I've had the hardest time figuring out how to do this, and I've been trying to improve, and spent a few hours looking for a video that would explain HOW to get my lips to do that... I was a band geek for most my life, but I'm out of school now and can't afford to rent an Oboe (I was super lucky and was always able to use school's... Reeds were still ridiculously expensive anyways, but I was lucky) so I've been trying to learn singing, it's great, and in a lot of ways my knowledge from band gives me a good understanding of the general music concepts and such, it's very interesting how much is similar, but also how much it's an entirely new "instrument", but even in a much more foreign way than trying to understand another wind instrument, because to form words, there's way more different articulations to learn (plus it took awhile to even know what I didn't know, haha, like where in a note the vowel and consonant sounds go, etc... I'm friends with singers and most of them just didn't know that wasn't just... Something everyone knew... And I didn't even know what all I was doing wrong - it's funny how the more you learn, the more you learn, the more you know you need to learn! It's great, though, I really love learning!) Anyways, I'm so thankful for this video! It makes sense that people wouldn't understand how it could be so hard for me to just... Do it, lol... And I knew I was doing too much tension in my cheeks, I was laughing at myself because I knew somewhere in my mind I was trying to buzz my lips like embouchure for French horn(/brass- I didn't really play brass but I liked trying basics on my brother's horn... I do not have the air for brass, haha!) or at least just like... When my lips would be exhuasted after oboe for too many hours in a row, my mouth would still be able to hold the embouchure to play oboe, but my lips would kinda do this spitting thing as I leeked air around the reed, which is not correct... So between something in my head thinking it was "wrong" (lots of things are wrong in one context and not in another) and just... Laughing at myself because I KNOW the lips aren't making the note, but I was looking in the mirror and trying so hard to figure out how to relax my lips, but still have enough... Idk what it is still actually, but there's something that makes the lips buzz... Maybe it's how close together they are? I'm silly but I'm gonna watch this at least several more times haha... I know it seems super simple, and in some ways it is, but I guess everyone has different strengths and challenges, and this is challenging for me, but it's also SO MUCH POTENTIAL to help me become a way better singer, especially because I have asthma and realize in retrospect that, after doing all sorts of great "breathing exercises" back in high school band, I would end up having more issues with breathing once we started playing... I now realize oboe actually doesn't take that much air, so I ended up with a bad habit of not taking a FULL breathe and filling my diaphragm before starting to play on oboe (not really sure if that was correct or not... I've learned a bunch of stuff from singing that I SO wish I could try out on oboe, too, because I know I've gained skills that would make me better at oboe.... My embouchure is likely weak, but still... It'd be cool)... But with singing, if I don't take a full breathe, I run out of air way too quickly (duh haha... Muscle memory is hard to combat though haha...but I'm getting there!), and overall I definately need to improve my air support and this is such a perfect way to challenge that and improve, and now I at least know how to do it enough that I can work at it! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! :-D :-D :-D
I appreciate this video a lot, it seems stupid but I could not make the lip trill thing work at all and just watching this made it easy. Much appreciated!
Thank you!!! I just joined our community choir. I was told to "do lip trills" went I practice my scales. Easier said than done!!! Thank you. Well done!😀
Your a absolute godsend. I could not do this before watching your video no matter how many times people explained it to me. Thank you for being awesome.
THANKS! I've seen so many videos but I still couldn't get it until I watched this! It's really useful and helped me a lot, though my sounds more "stable" then "airy" Any tips on this? Anyways once again thanks as at least I can get the melody already!
oh wow ive always had difficulty doing this but this worked immediately 🙏thank you so much, hopefully i'd be able to do the normal lip trills after practicing this
THANK YOU, this totally worked....subbed!! I have always had trouble with this, I even studying with a "famous" vocal coach and they had me just do tongue trill instead of showing me how to fix
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I can't thank you enough!! Finally I can do lip trill!! Yay! People who can do it easily have no idea how hard it is for those who can't! Yippee!!! 👏👏👏
Interesting. As somebody who had voice issues due to past throat cancer.....that was eliminated by radiation and chemo (thank God).......I find this to be helpful. It's in line with what my voice therapist has said. It's always good to go over the basics and then some.
Ok so I knew how to do the trill but it seriously only lasted for 1.5 secs and when i brought my fingers to my cheeks and raised them, then did the trill it held out SOOOO much longer and I was ✨Shocked✨ Like I was actually shocked my face was actually the definition of this emoji “😱😳”
Hello I hope you're having a great day. I"m a new subscriber and I have a couple questions and I need a few tips too. 1- It is normal after you have been singing since a really young age and belting/hitting really high and low notes you lose a bit of vocal range after hitting puberty? 2-I'm having a couple problems with singing while alone at home or in public. My voice sounds weak and broken and I want to cry most of the times because I lost the emotion and the "freedom " 3-I'm also having problems sustaining notes. Because my breath changes from diafragm to nasal all of the sudden unintentionally . I feel a bit lost right now. I hope u can help me. Have a really bright day.
I love this exercise, it is a really good warmup exercise and it prepares the diaphragm to work. I do quite a lot of lip trills. I actually think it's the most important exercise.
Thank you soo muchh I always thought that my lips have some manufacturing fault that's why I can't do it You're the best Love from the bottom of my 💜💜 Thank youu sooo much
The first time I’ve been able to do it 😩😭 Thank you so much. Now I need to learn how to do it without the hands can’t be doing that at choir practise or before Sunday service 💀not to mention it’ll mess up my makeup lmao Soon I should be able to riff 😩
