Your videos are the best. I do your exercises every day and oh my! That G4 A4 C5 notes are now effortless :) thank you so much !

The last two exercises helps with the vibrato =) That's a very nice bonus. Thank you.

What am I doing here while I am just a baritone.😂I am so jealous of tenor.

Love this. Using it at as a warm-up. For most of my singing life I was an alto. Then, I started transitioning (trans man). My voice was quite unstable a few months ago as I started leaving alto and progressing to tenor. My voice is still changing, but, it's been stable enough now to sing Tenor 2--but the bridge between chest voice and falsetto is...cringey, lol. This video is helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much Mr. Rolka. I love the way you teach, your the man. You have help me so much with my vocal range. I'm not quite there yet but thanks to you I have improved my voice so much I just keep getting better as I go, Thank you again & may God bless you

I'm so used to my voice sittinng at my head register this was actually easier for me than the vocal warm-up video for tenors where I use only my natural voice. So i'll be working on the latter more. Thanks!!

Thanks so much!! These videos are awesome. just started yesterday and I already feel a difference in my technique.

Hey Jeff, I'm watching this video for the first timein 2022. It's cool to see how your style has changed from here. Great warm-up. I'm very glad I found you.

Cool! Thank you! 😊

I feel like I don't even have a head voice. I just go from full chest voice straight into falsetto. How do find my head voice (before working on the transition)?

Thanks again for helping this tenor prepare for my audition into classical choral music. My audition is September 12, 2016.

Love it

Without any further ado at 1:10 😉 Thanks Jeff! 🐯

Great video! thank you.

love the head nod when stops for you to continue

You're channel is awesome, I try to use your videos to warm up every day and it helps immensely. I thank you, AND my voice teacher thanks you! I don't know how to play the drills on piano so now I can warmup properly before I go in for lessons! I have used this one multiple times as well as others and I love the one for head voice/falsetto. Thank you very much!

I know this sounds a little silly but I really like the piano sound you are using. It is gentle enough to keep me from over singing

In my second year of singing lessons. Learning to be a tenor. This is really helpful!

Hey Jeff! I have found your videos incredibly helpful on my journey to enhancing and strengthening my voice, thank you so much for all the work you have put in! One question - concerning the "*zone* of the passagio".... is it called the "zone" because it varies between person to person, or is it called a zone because the phase of transition is more than one single note?? What I mean is, is the zone of the passagio one note, where I transition from chest voice to head voice (because then I would call it the "note of the passagio".... or is it a "zone" where i transition and is that zone always going to be the same notes for me as a i progress in my singing and get stronger? Kind of confusing to try and write out the specific question I have but any pointers as far as this goes would be great! Thank you again. ~~Danny

This is perfect because my passagios are around E4-A4. If i don't use nasal résonance and don't modify my voyels can't go over it. Thus I avoid singing too chesty I fear I might break. Tho I like the color of my chest. Perfect exercice wish you would do it for high tenor too. Cheers for the lesson

Great

Thank you for this. Just found out my passagios a few days ago through my tutor. The first being E#4 and the second A4 where my head voice starts. But this is a great workout for my mixed voice, since it's been underused due to alot of chest singing and not mixing. Thanks again!

Hi jeff .. can u tell us some vocal exercises to develop whistle voice..?? ..i have been searching for it on internet but its almost impossible to find one which is correct and does not harm your voice during the training process...

Unique 🙌

great ! 😎

Saved🔥

hi jeff. thank you for all that great stuff. i'm so lost. as a male singer, i sing from C1 to F5. it becomes hard to push chest voice after F4. it can go down to C sharp 4 when i'm tired or after smoking too much. i've been training to get mixed voice since 1 and half year now, and i met 3 different teachers. one classified me as a high baritone, other one told me that my low notes were not correctly done so called me tenor, a last one baritenor. but i love so much high notes, i always try to sing tenor. i remember when i was pretty much younger, like 16 (i'm now 25) singing georges brassens french varieties songs and trying to get lower and lower. one night listening to my walkman i tried to sing all night long trying to get the lower i could. after this i felt my voice broke. i've been practicing 10 years after this as a baritone. but when i began to work high notes something happened in my voice and a new timber that was totally unexpected came out. is it possible i was a tenor that cracked long ago his voice ? to classify my voice for teachers is an awful task, and i'm wondering if it has been damaged. is it possible to change voice type after disease, or hurt ?

great exercises. always

hi.hope you're well I have a question and i really appreciate that if you answer my question if I do passaggio exercise everyday , how long does it take to sing high notes like F or G or higher ?

Great!

I am hitting all the notes right, but I can't understand, is it right if I start singing in hv and when going down the scale transitioning back to chest (without breaking), even in the 'lowest' part of the exercise? Cause I always find trouble when singing in chest past an Eb4 and I don't know what I should do.

Excellent lesson. Just what I needed to work on D#4-F#4 problematic area where my voice becomes weak and airy or belty.

nice synth sound :)

Hey just found ur videos and channel great stuff !! i have problems with this Mae thingy, my voice get's raspy or what to call it ^^ any advice to share on this ?

Awesome! Thx!

Hey Jeff! I've been watching your videos for some time and am so happy with how much my voice has improved. With these head voice exercises, what can I do to strengthen my voice? I can hit all the notes if I sing quietly lol, any tips?

Hi! Thank you for the video! I am a tenor and I have a lot of trouble going from my chest to head voice, sometimes I can't even use my head voice. I do have asthma which I don't know if that would contribute to the problem but I appreciate your help:)

I am loving what you have to say to tenors regarding their vocial break, or secondo passaggio. I would appreciate some help in this area for the mezzo/soprano range. It's understandable that these detailed lessons would be where you sing most comfortably. Specifically, where I'm having the difficulty is getting "stuck" in my head voice when singing in a group casually, or in a campfire like setting. Then going to stretch up for rehearsal, and finding that it's very hard to get into my head voice area. Does that make any sense, or is it just me?

+ Jeff Rolka don't mean to get of task, can you do a video about the difference between speaking voice and singing voice?

My head voice Mays are wispy and sound a bit hoarse. Can’t figure out how to produce a clear tone, resulting in an obvious flip to chest voice.

Hi Jeff, just want to say thank you for your KZfaq series - I use the warmup's all the time! I have a quick question - I have very thick vocal folds and thus a very low speaking voice - dunno if perhaps I'm just a lazy speaker or not, however I can belt to a D5, albeit on good days, and have a falsetto/belt to C6 which I was rather surprised about - however it is impossible for me to have the light airy quality that some tenors have. Bearing in mind my range covers from C2-D5 (C6) and my break is F sharp 4, would I still classify myself as a tenor even though my voice quality is a lot more rich and thick?

Hii please Help!! ... i Can sing from B2 to A4 pretty easily i dont really push ... i'm a 17 years old Boy i believe that i have a deep voice that can go lighter at Higher ranges but i dont really know if i'm a tenor or a Baritone my Timbre is kinda Heavy and Dark ... but on High ranges i feel it stretching without pulling these notes... in your video the Notes were really Easy ...

thanks.....that is so valuable...because i wanted to sing higher notes but I can't right now..but with your help i will be able to practice and put it into test....

Hey I recently stumbled across your channel and one thing that’s really helping me with this exercise is nasality. Am I going to be able to open that sound and make it darker once I have more control over it?

Jeff, love the change i'm realizing by following you. However i need to develop more support to sing softly but firmly. in higher registers. What can you advise? Gunia

Where can I learn to sing second tenor ?

I'm a confused contralto who frequently sings tenor in choirs. I am looking for a passagio improvement, and I think this went very well. I found myself singing in a weak chest voice, sort of, at the high point of the last few exercises. Generally I just break into the sound normally associated with Alto 2, which I suspect is falsetto in tenor terms. Thus the confusion.

That's a sweet guitar

like it

Hi Jeff. Thanks again so much for doing this. I checked out the live stream link you provided to someone else and it seems like the top notes in this video are supposed to be falsetto, right? I have a similar issue to lhdc1, i flip right from chest to falsetto and i'm trying to develop the mix.

Thank you for the video 😁😁😁 And I did this on my whistle and it sounded great now. Thank you 💓💓 ( BTW I can hit from A2 to B7.)

I honestly don't know if I doing it right.. It's sounds right but my throat feels like it's being pulled on.. And I'm feeling the vibration in my chest and not my head

Hi I’ve been singing for 2 years but I know I tend to pull chest for high notes. Is it natural if my head voice was a little bit airier starting out on these exercises?

I'm baritone can I do this?

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

I'm an amateur singing troglodyte. All I want in the universe is to hit a G in "crossfire" (which sometimes is bearable to a listener) or "stardom" (why is tis one harder?!? I suspected the 'd') of a transposed "shine on your crazy diamond" and your video is *just* where I want it :) Thank you!

My secondo passaggio is at F4. Which video(Baritone/Tenor) should I use for this exercise? I normally use your Tenor videos.

I went to see a vocal coach last week and upon arrival I told her that I was a baritone. She said "lets do some scales". I went all the way up to A4 before having to switch to my head voice. She called me a Tenor 1... So. Am I a tenor or a Baritone or a Baritenor? My full range (chest) is F#2-A#4 and my Falsetto range is B4-G5. Be aware that my voice has a darker color. I can make it brighter and more "clear", but naturally its pretty raspy. Naturally, I would say I'm a baritone, but in choral music maybe a tenor 1?

hi sir , i am a tennor and i really struggle with the higher range i am able to sing it but have to put a lot of stress on the notes . your help would really matter thanks.

um, hello (: Im kinda nervous about asking a question because I have no real experience in singing, but my mother was an ex vocalist and a really good one, but she wont teach me. she did tell me that I was between Tenor-Alto/Tenor-Baritone. I'm going to be practicing and continuing yo learn how to sing on my own (Everyone says I would have the perfect voice to sing if I learned how to use it) using this video because it was really easy to follow, but I was wondering, how would I find my vocal range without really knowing what that sounds like. I doubt you'll be able to answer it completely but any little help would be greatly appreciated. I really do want to learn to sing and be a good singer (: thanks for your time if you read this. Dage

So my passagio is right at C5 thats when I am better off using falsetto because it sounds strained.

I can only do these with a lot of twang (sounds like Axl Rose or Layne Staley). Is it ok to practice this that way?

Hi Jeff! I have a problem about my head voice. When i try to sing with my head voice most of the time accidently i am doing falsetto. I can't properly change between my chest and head voice without touching any falsetto notes. Do you have something in your mind to fix this?

How would you find out whether you're a true tenor or baritone?

Sir, can a person who have deep voice (like me) can achieve this, and i will appreciate your reply😊

I watched your video and got perplexed when you said because you can sing these notes doesn't mean you re a tenor. Could you please expand on it?

Jeff, I am a tenor and when I do the "How to Sin in Head Voice - Tenor Range" exercise I feel tension in my throat. Am I doing something wrong? I am not really confident in switching from chest voice to head voice. I want to spend this summer working on various exercises so I will be in better condition for choir next September. Thanks for all your help and dynamic videos.

I sound like a baby, I think.. idk if im doing it right

I can do the 'you' part. I can do the 'wee' part, but not as good as the 'you' part. The 'may' part gets worse; it gets very breathy.

Hi Jeff hit all of them easily am I a tenor ?

I can reach d2 but without consistance, I start at f2 and I break at f4 in head voice I can go to b5 what am I?

1:00

I lost my head voice because I constantly have colds lol

Why don’t you all voice teachers say that the key is using nasal airflow and head voice to do the tenor range??

I don't have to use falsetto on that.

Im a bass but I like singing tenor lel

Meh, meh, meh is so hard. I can't make a sound on that vowel in head voice while all the others work.

you look like joaquin phoenix lol

I barely understand the concept of head voice 😭

I feel like i m not tenor though😂

That moment when you have a range of A2-F6 but you physically dont know how to sing lower

Hii please Help!! ... i Can sing from B2 to A4 pretty easily i dont really push ... i'm a 17 years old Boy i believe that i have a deep voice that can go lighter at Higher ranges but i dont really know if i'm a tenor or a Baritone my Timbre is kinda Heavy and Dark ... but on High ranges i feel it stretching without pulling these notes... in your video the Notes were really Easy ...
