Work with me to unlock your star quality as a vocal artist: trueartist.co.uk/

Hi Gemma! I used to love singing onto the music and I spent like 5 years without singing (for many reasons) without noticing the time pass and when I tried to sing some months ago my voice wasn't responding as expected (obviously) so I started learning and practicing regularly and more mindful and I've never sing this beautiful and comfortable in my life!! I still have so much to learn but I'm so happy! Thank you for your videos!

Have you ever heard of LAX VOX? I wonder if that has the same effect - I use that, and usually just do the "lip roll"

I teach voice, my mom teaches voice, and I studied opera for ten years - I have never heard this information before and I swear I listened to my teachers! The larynx is hanging of the hyoid bone and the base of the tongue is connected to that, so THAT’S why it always feels so good to loosen & stretch out the front of the tongue when singing 🤯 I must repeat, the larynx is hanging….. new convert!!! Can’t wait to dig into all your videos 👏thank you for existing, you’re also hilarious!

Gemma, I am totally new to this. I can sing but, I have never warmed up, cooled down or exercised my voice. Should I practise these three exercises a few times a day? if so for how long? or/ should they only be used when you are about to record the song? Do these exercises have muscle memory? meaning .. if you practice them will your voice will find this perfect sweet spot over time? How exactly should these exercises be used?

Is this an exercise that I should do just before I sing or something I can do that will refine the quality of my voice overtime?

Your videos are incredible! I just got hip to the third exercise this year and it literally changed my voice and my life. Completely opened up a range in my voice and put a magnifying glass on tension that had been a stumbling block for my whole life. I'm on the mountaintop with you singing its praises - literally! And better than ever before!

One of the many reasons I personally love the straw is because I have allergies and mucous is a constant issue for me and I was always clearing my throat when I first began a singing session and didn’t realize how aggressively I was doing so until it was pointed out to me (it had just become a habit). Using the straw for my warmups clears all that away and I don’t get that urge to clear my throat. I just find it’s like the loveliest massage for my cords. I also have a tendency to kind of grip down too hard (best way I can describe it) when I am moving through my natural break between registers or make super clunky transitions in that one “spot” in my voice and the straw seems to just melt that tension away. It’s like my brain is learning that my voice can do it, it doesn’t need to get all bossy and start meddling with things. I love to sing Adele songs, but nearly all of her songs have transitions *exactly* where my voice feels it’s most insecure and it drives me bonkers lol. It’s been a challenge to get my head out of the way and just let go and the straw has been the only thing that works. I adore it. It’s been a godsend. I mean, I’ve done every other exercise out there to death, it just didn’t click until I was introduced to the straw. I’m going on and on here but …. I feel sometimes as a singer like I want someone to be able to get inside my vocal tract and nudge things around so I can feel what needs to happen to improve the sound and technique because the verbal cues often times just confuse the heck out of me. The straw, as it turns out, is doing just that. It’s retraining my voice by getting me out of the way. I. Love. It ❤

Love how you teach Gemma! Thank you

Thank you, Gemma! So very helpful.

Wow. So good. Both the science breakdown and the examples. Thank you!

I love the raspberry! It really makes me see how much tension I’m holding in my tongue. I also find that I hold tension with lip thrills so the raspberry is a great way of working through that

Thank you so much!

This is super helpful, I really appreciate you explaining the mechanics behind every exercise, it helps me believe why I'm doing it, if that makes sense. Could you do a video on projection and/or dynamics maybe? For me personally, more support always means louder for some reason and I don't know why

Thank u so much

Hi Gemma. After singing in my head voice for many years my chest voice is weak and wobbly. Although my voice can go very low. I struggle with over compressing to get strength. Can you help?

Your personality is so awesome and your content is informational and funny at the same time! Love this. You have a new subscriber :)

you can tell it really opens up the resonance chambers... it is a delicate balance between air pressures... although there's a much easier way to describe that sensation the exercises demonstrates that well... I love doing these!

This was so helpfull, thank you 💜

So glad I stumbled upon this video as its helping me understand why so many yt warmups have really silly sounds. Btw you have a gorgeous Irish twang and making me miss those accents on that side of the pond.

When she said "oh yeah" on the 2mm, I felt that 😂

Hi Gemma thank you so much I absolutely love you and I wanted to ask what are some exercises that can help with tightness because sometimes in a song I feel like my throat is just aching saying this hurts, stop😢. Thank you

I can't figure out how to get air coming out from under the tounge. I end up with upper lip raspberry.

Hi Gemma... is it possible a video talking about how to work the lows for a tenor..cannot produce a "central do" and I would like to sound more full ln the lows... not so airy.. in a way... thanks for reading me... greetings from Spain

I just found your videos and I must say…They are amazing! I definitely want to get with you about your rates, but I gotta get over this nasty cold first. Talk to you soon! 🙂

Thank you for the tips... I love your energy and and humour. Btw, would you mind sharing what audio gear and mic are you using? Assuming you are happy with it.

Can you do the straw excersise it cuts out on you tube amazing voice very helpful

thank you for the greeeeeeeat video! One question though: i remember from my speech therapy that i was only allowed to breathe through my nose during these exercises. you weren't doing that, so what's your opinion about that?

Hi Gemma. I would like to ask you something about a young friend of mine, who is loosing her voice. I heard at min 4,50 of this video and watching the example you offered, I realize that's what she's doing... But how could she solve that?

Hi Gemma, very helpful thank you! Put the 3rd exercise in the chapters :)

Can you please do the straw excersise again it cuts out on KZfaq amazing voice

Hi i like u so so much; the way and the humor u use to learn things to us. I'm an absolute beginner, just started with the straw phonation. Dont think i ever reach youre level. But it doesn't matter i like to get the little steps every time. What country are u from? Thkns for your refreshing video's.

hi gemma, how to not lost high range tessitura after i sing 3 songs, my voice can't reach higher not effortless anymore. i always wonder how rock singers can sing on stages for 2 hours without loosing their upper ranges. 🙏

Hola Gemma, I have so many problems with these exercises (I know those are the easiest ) but can someone help me with tongue position on this exercises? 😢 I use to studied opera with a certain position in my tongue that does not match with sovt Ayuda por favor!!!! 😮😅

9:17 I Love your Raspberry Sounds Gemma. Can you do More of the Ones without any pitch or Notes? I Like the one with the tongue flapping.
