THE ONLINE SINGING COURSE is available now with TARA SIMON!! 56 Daily Video Lessons to take your voice from Good to Great!! Check it out at: @t

Every time I listen to a perfect riff...I just melt

My ears: "we can copy that!" My voice: "gimme a break"

So, I am a "naturally gifted" singer, I really LOVE singing and I get a lot of compliments on my voice, but I've always been ashamed at how much I struggled with riffs/runs. This video explained it super well and just watching it and warming up once I can already hear a huge improvement. Thank you so much for your wonderful video!

I love singing and am pretty good at it, but riffing has always been my weakness. This will surely help, thank you :)).

Wheww I didn't know there was such a science to runs and riffs 😳. Guess I need to get crackin wit da practicing lol. Thanks yall

OH MY GOODNESS!!! You guys! This is starting to work!! I just sang it and it actually sounded better ! Here's are some tips: I recommend getting your mixed voice first, I tried this before I could mix my voice. Didn't work. Every lil note that comes out of your mouth, imagine it's like a little blob of paint, sing it so that your voice gets used to how every note sounds. Than add speed, THAN smooth it out!! Imagine you're smearing all the paint together and make it smooth! I don't know why that last part helped me, I'm going to keep practicing! :)

3:23 if you can't do it just slow down, give yourself more time for your voice to calibrate the steps 4:45 with a different melody 5:15 take up the runs

2:49 That’s actually how I sound 👁👄👁

That intro! 😍😍

I adore the way she has her runs on pitch, when do fast.

This is just what I was looking for thank you!!

I'm here for all of these tutorials. Thank you so much for continuing to post such valuable tips. Also love to see how well Tara, Jeremie and the other awesome coaches get a long so well.

Very good point about singing discrete tones during the exercise rather than muddying and slurring the notes.

Hey Tara and team, thank you so much for your videos :)) I've been singing since .. well.. always :D , and actually always thought I'm not doing too bad. People always loved to hear me sing.. well, since I'm watching your videos I almost feel like a beginner again. There's so much more to learn, also with you I learned to STOP STRAINING MY VOICE finally after 20 years haha. Runs have always been my kryptonite, I've never really been working on in, was happy with a couple thrills, and that was it. I'm writing this before I watched the video, I already know it's gonna help me HEAPS! I've been properly practising singing since only a couple days now (like really consciously practising) and your videos opened a new world for me. THANK YOU for all your work you guys put into the videos and thanks in advance for this one !! Cheers and all the best xx

This is the first video that really explains riffs and runs to me... thank you so much!!

Wow, I was just about to search your channel for a riff/run video and here is a video uploaded today! Description was either typed on a smartphone or alcohol was involved.

I love singing which is why I’m here. I always get compliments on how beautiful my voice and my tone but I can’t do runs and riffs. Even though a lot of artists say you don’t need to do runs and Riffs to be a talented singer I really wish to learn to do so.

Just did it and this was so fun and easy now that i understand more how to do it !!!

Masters of voice. 💪

It helps a lot thank you so much for your work and tips. Lots of love from Germany

I find that when i do the best riffs and runs it feels effortless in my throat as opposed to bad ones where i push with my throat and it tightens.

Loving this content! Will be taking notes.

tysm ive been needing this!

Her voice is so beautiful *-* so sharp and Deep in the same time xD

Thank you very much!! it's so interesting!! and the intro it's amazing too

I can do these riff/run tutorials but in an actual song or just improv, I can’t?

Nice lesson! Thanks!

Wish i could learn it 💗❤💛💚💙💜🧡🧡

Loved this video. Would you say that this is vocal flexibility? I am a junior high choir teacher and my students are always asking how to do things. I just always refer them to making sure that they are warmed up correctly and not pushing anything. I emulate the things they ask but during this pandemic and teaching online all the time I refer them to lots of good warm ups. This was a great way to get them doing something they want to be able to do, but also show them that singing on pitch comes first!!

i literally clicked like before the video even began cuz i just knew that whatever was going to be said was going to be important

The intro was great 😆 🤣

Amazing Exercise! I love it, btw more Faouzia reaction pls.

Your voice amazing

💭 thank you!! loved this one. 💜💙💚💛🧡

TARAAAAAAA ILYSMMMMM

Never been here early. I hope I can become a great singer in the future

The intro made me feel what am I doing here oh god super professional 😱😱😃

Please react to Keke Wyatt’s rendition of “God Will Take Care of You”. It’s so powerful and I think you’d enjoying watching.

Tara is a sweet one 😍

I love the new intro!!!

Pls react to Anthony Ramos preforming his newest single "stop"! He has a music video for it, but knowing you I'm pretty sure youd like a live! So, just letting you know, he performed it for Kelly Clarkson, but my favourite is when he performed it for James Corden!

I can hear that you change your voice tone when you do the quick run, what is it that you're doing? It's almost like a baa, or tremble or tremolo tone. Just want to know what it is because I always struggle with the quick stuff!

I really need this I have a Gospel show loading I really need this help eish❤❤❤❤❤

I love the comments on these types of videos 😂

Helpful

React to daneliya tuleshova tears of gold on America’s got talent

Love the student with a little bit of sas. 😭😭

great

My voice is decent and can hit preety good notes but I always felt i can do more so wanting to learn riff and runs to give a little spice to my voice

Two suggestions. If you want to review a Singer with a lot textures Try “Am i the one” by Beth Hart. In Europe there’s a musical that’s not big in the US, but it’s a huge success on the west end, and I hoped you would review some singers from it. “Everybody’s Talking about Jamie” and the songs are: And you don’t even know it. Wall in my head. He’s my boy. Thank you. :D

❤️❤️

i watch this like once a month thinking the next time i'll be better 😭😭

I agree with the folks who have said the background music is bad news. I found myself struggling to listen to what you were saying whenever the music was playing

I like the dude coach!!! 🤭

Idk how to do slow riffs/runs, I lose breath quickly. I'm very good with quick runs but very bad with slow ones :( I don't got good breath control too and I also lose pitch when doing runs/riffs. They also sound too connected/slurry sometimes when i'm tired. I tried doing this exercise buuuuut my larynx lowers at the last note of the descending and it hurts :( also at the toggle part when doing the lower one. My larynx tends to lower most of the time even when i'm not trying to reach a very low note. Must be because I got so obsessed with low notes before and kept strengthening my lower register that my larynx lowers most of the time now. It hurts after a few hours of singing and i cant sing later on the day. I take vocal rests too but the same singing process ruins it again. Now that i've learned more vocally and singing in a healthy placement, it hurts cus my larynx got used to being lowered when i was a kid. Any exercise for a stubborn larynx that hurts itself? Idk if I explained it perfectly but i can comment more to explain-

Thank you for this Ms. Tara!!!😁 Love the new intro!!!❤ Could you please react to "The Greatest Showman Medley" by Anthem Lights? Thank You!!💕
