Tenor Range Singing over 'the Break' 

Without any further ado at 0:49 ;-) Thanks Jeff!

Thank you my sweet Jeff Rolka. When they ask me in an interview how I learned to sing I’m gonna say my man “Jeff Rolka”

Let me tell you. You are heping me a lot. Thanks. Tenor, From Dominican Republic. Santo Domingo.

always been a bass-baritone, but within your exercises i'm reaching solids A4 singing, and i apreciate a lot... i could never thank you enough, professor. i recomend you to every singer i know... thanks

Another fab video

Thanks a lot for the warm up. I appreciate it

Wow, Jeff. This proves to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Good workout! Thank you.

Thanks so much for making this series! I just discovered these in time to prepare for a Christmas solo that starts singing a melody at the bottom of my range and then after the bridge pops it up the octave this particular warm up is going to get me in shape to make that so much easier to do with ease... and better for the audience to hear...ahem.

All of these are really helpful thank you! I've been trying to get my high notes down without straining and doing these warmups really help, especially as I tended to be overly lazy with warmups (or choose not to do them at all haha)

I manage to finish the exercise with little cracks on some spots particularly the ah and oh vowels. But each time I sing along the scale I feel my chords shaking or loosening up.This exercise is a hard one. I wont recommend this to a begginer. Over the course of time I allowed myself to be immersed in your technique and found significant improvement in my endurance, and flexibility. Before your technique I can hear my awful squawk at my passagio. Now the squawk sounds like a click. In this exercise I feel the click is somehow vanishing but when I forget my airflow engagement it comes back. I appreciate the slight cracks that I encounter here. Its not the same awful cracks as before, it made me really aware of my air and muscle engagement. For other beginner Tenors, I highly recommend that you go over Master Jeff's other warm up first before this. This is a bit advance. Without the foundation of resonance matching and airflow engagement , you will sound like a duck or even feel dizzy in this exercise. My minor cracks are funny but I manage to pull through. Sending my regards to Master Jeff.

Thank you so much, I’ve been doing this for little under a year and I’ve seen great improvements. I can sing higher without straining and better quality voice, thank you very much!

Jeff, just discovered all these videos. Incredibly thankful for what you do. I've subscribed, and I'll make sure to stop by your website and show you some monetary love!!! You're great.

What an exercise

Thank you, allways great

Thank you for this video Jeff, it really helped strengthen my chest dominant mix a lot😊

hi Jeff! It's a hard exercise, it could be a lyrical vocal workout for singing aria di opera...I guess the key is volume and tone balance, I think mezzopiano, and also relax, keep the jaw without any tension... thank you for this challenge 🙌🎤🎹🎶

As always thank you so much Jeff. These are great

Amazing, Jeff! I’ve taken it so far with your help! So happy to support you on Patreon; I love supporting your channel. Today this exercise was not difficult due to all the work I’ve been putting in. Thank you once again and have a great week!

I start doing this exercises 1month and a half ago and now I’m doing it the right way Without any breaks ... that one was an hard one ! Thank you so much Jeff

Man my vocal ability increased just from doing this once it got easier during the whole video

That literally killed me. 😂

Excellent video. It really helps. I wish you could do the same excersice but a few notes higher. Keep up the good work

magnific

Hi Jeff. Only recently came across your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post them. A couple of questions: Are the exercises appropriate for non-classical singers? I enjoy singing the songs of Bob Dylan, Wilco, Steve Earle, and others who don't have what I consider to be polished voices but who manage to convey their messages effectively through the unique qualities of their voices and phrasing. So I guess that's my question: Do you have any lessons that focus on developing one's tone and phrasing? Thanks again for all your efforts.

Jeff I love your videos they help me so much... there is a high tenor vocal sound, heard when listening to bluegrass and old Appalachian Folk & Country, and BLUEGRASS in particular, That is called the "High Lonesome Sound"... best heard in the singing of Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Ira Louvin, Del McCroury, & Roscoe Holcomb ..ive never seen any lesson about it anywhere & want to ask you for one... this is the sound I am particularly after and would love some exercises and a better understanding of how to do this... thank you!

Excellent Video!!!

You're the fuckin man.

Any thumbs down are obvious competitors 💌

I think I'll need to practice a little bit more with another exercises to achieve this one.

Hi, Jeff, I really appreciate your videos. I watched and used it for two days. I'm wondering if these videos are for musical singing or classical singing? I'm a young classical tenor. When I'm listening to myself while warming up I don't think I sound like a classical singer but somewhat like belting. Thanks!

Great lesson ! Thank you ! How often to practice this exercise ?

0:52 AY AH 1:40 AY OH to be continued...

Hello Jeff angel here ,, Hope your good health wise ,,, It's been awhile since I've wrote cause I've really been studying your scales, Is there any other different scales to do with these exercise than the Triad scale ? Any suggestions ? angel Keep up the good work !!

Hey Jeff! Love the lessons, I've been doing them for a while now and they are very informative. I was wondering what the purpose of the "Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo" is? I notice that this video stays right around G#4 for the most part but that exercise creeps up to A4. Thanks again! Preston.

Thanks so much Jeff. Is your triple A method free of charge or there is a payment when you sign up?

if you ever come to Indonesia, I owe you some coffee and good local food ;)

Hello Jeff, ángel here , Hope all is good quick question ? Would you happen to have other Hogh range tenor work outs , I do find this one somewhat to challenging,,, It does seem like a very advance exercises ,, Thanks For All !!!

I know this is an older video, and maybe this has been covered somewhere else already. (If so, my apologies.) Is it common to have trouble "letting go" of the final note at the end of each passage? I seem to have to force myself to stop - my inclination always seems to be to let that last note just fade out on it's own, and I kinda feel like I'm having to fight that on each passage, regardless of what I'm singing at the time. It takes conscious effort to stop the note at the end for me.

very long passages (speaking of the second set of exercises) requires work for me.

Hi Jeff, I find my vocals get very tired in this exercise and I start having trouble keeping my notes clean and by the end I struggle to even achieve the scale. I can however come back with the oui oui's :) My voice breaks around the g-g# and I always struggle to get these notes clean, but I can sing in head voice, although it can sound strained. So my question is; does this sound like a technique issue or do I just need to continue practicing your video, but maybe back off intensity until I don't get tired anymore? I love your work and practice it everyday. So any advice will be keenly implemented and so very gratefully appreciated!!! Thanks, Dan

This excersice are only with chest voice???

So I was doing fine until I hit the E4/Eb4 where my chest and head meet but the head gets all crackly (almost fry like) and it’s comfortable but it sounds awful. Like I put fry in it but idk what’s happening. If I go higher in that “registration” though, it becomes a strong head voice but from E4 to Bb4 it sounds all screechy like a velociraptor lol.

Great. I can do the baritone and the tenor one smoothly! I'm about 4 notes short of a 4 octave range now but I will admit, my high notes are BELTING loud

My voice cracks around d4 e4
