I have a question, do I let my voice crack during the excercises or do I try to avoid them?
2:05 for 1st exersice, 4:50 for 2nd exersice :)
4:31*
Zion This comment for someone who just repeating the exercise, so they don't wanna listen to the explanation again.. that's why he put 4:50 as the time stamp
thanks!
Thanks
You are a LIFE SAVER!! I've been looking for an exercise like this for MONTHS! I've tried SO many with absolutely NO difference in my vocal cracking until I finally stumbled upon your exercise! I think the difference had been, other exercises have you belt it out, while yours encourages a gentle flow. It reminds me of the difference between body builders and those who build healthy muscle with gradual weight training. The body builder will lose his muscle MUCH faster if he stops working out compared to the gradual (healthy muscled, not scar tissue) weight trainer! This gave me a beautiful glide through my most problematic areas (I have a very wide vocal range from singing opera, so I have mid cracking and lower voice crack) and I am really excited to have found your exercises! Thanks!
Rebekah J hi ! I’m so so glad to hear this ! And I love your comparison with body builders and healthy muscle
Gain ! I agree completely ! Your vocal chords have a set of muscles that need to be trained in a healthy manner .
Thanks again ! And I’m not an opera singer , but if u wanna share some tips with our community that would be great ❤️
Hey this was 4 years ago and I know it is a lot to ask but can you remember if this help or not😅
Hi please suggest me here...I am facing some time cracking voice issues when I need to produce more sound and need to call some from distance so will this excercise hell my vocal cracking. I have LPRD.
I like voice cracks because of sia 😂😍😍
Sia My Love Sia it’s such an amazing singer !! But she does the voice cracks on purpose cause she knows how to control her chest and head voice , she is amazing !
@@melimusiclessons Well yeah for example I make voice cracks by switching from head voice to chest voice or voice moods. And I'm a big fan of Sia.
Thank you for your videos. Because of pandemic, I have lost 22 gigs in 6 months. I have not sung live, but doing a virtual live show with 16 songs tomorrow , Sunday, August, 23rd and one Friday, August 28th. My voice is weak and cracking. My selection of songs are a mixture of Blues, Jazz, Standards, Country and Latin. I must say I fair better in Latin tunes, because of all the vowels. P. S. I am not a trained vocalist and have been singing professionally since 1975.
Meli You'r teaching Golden WORDS. I'm a vocalist of classical POP music. I have looked at a lot of music teaching videos. But I have to say you'r one in a million goddess of teaching music who knows and understand music. WOW
Leo Yoda I’m so glad you decided to be part of our singing community and that you’re enjoying the videos ! ❤️
God!!! Just hear that Angelical voice!!
Hey,. ! I'm loving it 😻
Thanks for the excercises
Excellent vocal excersice! Thanks Teacher!👍👏👏👏😀😀
Yessssssss! ❤❤⚡✨
God! Your voice is so beautiful! Thanks for the exercise!
byronvisiado09 thanks so much ! You’re welcome !
This is so wonderful, I like finding different vocal bridging exercises, it helps in diversifying and in training all the vocal muscles. This specifically helps me in speaking more clearly, I'm not a singer but it has an immediate positive effect on how I speak, and it only gets better~
I'm learning a lot with your videos. My problem is the voice break (crack). But that exercise is helping me. Thanks. You are the best. Cheers from Brazil.
I'm so glad this is helping you! Little by little you achieve it! :)
Thanks for this vocal exercise! It really helped me, and I will use it often. Your the best👍🏻
love your channels and videos. the first one I watched made a difference and gave me good exercises to work with. i will watch regularly
Brandon Good thanks so much ! I appreciate it ! Welcome to this wonderful community of singers!
Very useful, thanks a lot Meli🌺🌺
I'm still here with you ,beautiful Meli
I haven’t sung in a couple of years and every time I sing with my chest voice my voice cracks. It sounds fine when I’m using my head voice though. Hopefully I can improve using these exercises fingers crossed 🤞
welp I’m hungry again you will ! Just one step at a time
welp I’m hungry again I love your pfp😍
Me opposite
You may want to try and use your chest voice up to middle C or D and then gradually switch to head voice while maintaining a narrow ombuchure during the passagio. I was told to switch early by a teacher so the transition would be easier but I took that advice and applied it 2 notes too early, that is, 2 notes below middle D and I just couldn't sing any song fully to my satisfaction since most songs pass through the middle C and D and back and forth quite often and my voice would sound half good and half bad. I was stuck with this for the past 5 years without realizing that I could go 2 more notes in my chest voice without much struggle until I started to sing on Smule a few months ago! Lately I have started to practise and get my chest voice upto middle D. With proper breath support and technique it may take me a while to build muscle memory but I think that's worth trying rather than singing in a dual, incomplete voice!!! Good Luck!!!
thank you, i enjoyed that!
These two exercises are helping me! THANKS!
I have a bad break, but I'm sure as I continue these exercises they are going to do the trick.
Meredith Ashton exactly ! Just keep going ! You got this !
I've learned a lot from you, even after taken intensive clases with one of my friend (vocal teacher). You're a reference and motivation to continue working to get better at singing. Thanks a lot ! :)
Gallo Astral so glad to hear this !

Helps alot thanks ❤❤
Im very impressed of You and your channel. I felt i could understand your message good, both as what to, why to, and that its something that feel very possible in shorter future. I often feel like I struggle to understand, but not here. Insted of lowering my motivation, i felt for first Greatly motivated and its maybe not impossible that i was starting to feel this last year. Instant improvement, never felt that before. I found this channel last night, so i have only look though a few videos, i havnt really made full effort becuse i felt little bit soarnes from earlier. Nothing though when i followed your instructions. But thought maybe is better so just wait where its a bit risky and wait a Day and then follow trough better. But let me tell You, i recorded my self singing love yourself earlier, then i tried The same song today. I cant belive it made so mutch difference for me. Its still bad but hey, that really was a enourmous motivator, very Thankfull for You posting. Can i ask if you offer personal coachning thought internet as well?..

Thank you! It works - especially good for ;-) anti- crack! 🌟🙋💐
Cracks has really been my problem my voice get shaky also and idk what to do so imma try this and hope that this will get rid to my cracks
I love these exercises! Being a male should I be dropping to an octave below what you are singing ? That's what I'm doing . I lost my singing and speaking voice four month ago and have been see a speech therapist using resonant therapy to get it back . Breathing correctly has always been an issue for me . Also you speak of being relaxed when we sing , also a struggle from me but you are helping me with that also. Thank you ! You have a beautiful pure voice .
Gary Marini hi ! Yes you should drop an octave lower for sure ! . That's great that you're doing speech therapy ! Keep up the good work ! Thanks for your comment !
Ma'am you are very awesome
BASS RULES thank u
Omg, I was scrolling through your your videos when I found this.
Tysm and please can you do a video like : how to improve falsetto and head voice please?
Taekook BTS there’s a video about head voice coming soon
Armyyy
Love you👌😘👍💞🙏
I like your vocal exercises lessons. Thank you so much dear!
Love from India 💞🎵💞
Sumita Jagtap thank you for following ! Love India
@@melimusiclessons So happy to receive your reply. I'm trained in Indian classical music and I sing light music. And recently during Lockdown I started listening to western music and started liking it. So thought of learning some tips for Western Vocal singing and I found your channel.. I checked other channels also but I am comfortable with your teaching techniques. I am learning so many things which I didn't know. Once again thanks a lot and keep it up.
Stay blessed. 💞
Love from India
Hi I like your videos
I’ve listened to many vocal teachers and lessons in which some are very professional and can deliver opera like power, u are the first one who can sing and also have and in depth knowledge of the working vocal chords anatomy. I find it a little disconcerting that most of them don’t even know ! I think it’s very important. Just because you can sing really well , does not necessarily mean you are qualified to teach ! Many students are probably hurting there throats because of this lack of knowledge ! A student should not know more than his teacher, in my humble opinion !
Madam, thanks to you for sharing with all of us, your vocal exercise i.e, elimination the VOICE BREAK(CRACK) which has been very helpful in preventing crack problem in m y vocal system and I believe it would definitely also help others in getting rid of it; as it has been very painful and embarrassing while practicing my singing to date. Now I am getting better doing this exercise each day; thank you very much. Take care!!!
Kulwant Chandel I’m so glad to hear this ! Thanks !
In fact, we need people like you, who really do care for others and help them out when they confront such a problem, of voice cracking, which turns into an unchanging condition and forbids them to enhance any further; so you deserve such pristine praise.. thanks !!!
Hey! I've been using your videos for a couple of weeks now and I'm definitely seeing improvements in my voice. you're amazing! Thanks
TBREZZY2014 yes !! I’m very glad to hear this !! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this with me !
Of course. I also have another question, while doing the daily practice shall we do all of the videos you provided or videos that we need more practice with? It's kind hard/tricky to know what we need to work on sometimes.
Start with videos you need more practice with :)
Awesome, thank you! Also, I just followed you on Instagram - @_singty If you would like to hear my voice you can check out some of my recent videos and give feedback that would be so helpful. Have a nice day.
Hey! I just came up with a suggestion video that I hope you can do because it would come in handy. Can you make a cool down exercise video that covers range, etc before going to bed
For the second exercise, I think it would be a bit simpler to raise the third-last note by a semitone. So in C major, instead finishing e,d,c you could finish f,d,c. This would give you a nice harmonic resolution of V7 to I. Which in C major would be G7 to C. You could use you left hand to play the bass line of I, V, III, V, I. Which in C would be C, G, E, G, C, where on E we have a minor chord and on the second G a 7 chord. Your left hand fingers are already in the correct position, you could use them. That would help the student stay on pitch, I think. Probably would not make much difference for the vocal production?
Now, how do I GET a voice crack to be able to do a great terror scream?

I love you❤
Super
Very nice. Also tell us about the keys. Which key we need to use in key board.
hi name sister, thank you for the help!
Meli K yay a sister ! You’re welcome 😉
Mam Meli Malavasi, it happens to be my third comment to your good self: It has been a couple of months since I joined your you-tube practice session of a good vocal exercises; including this current one of Eliminating THE VOICE BREAK(CRACK); It has virtually been profoundly useful to me to get red off those unworthy cracks the intervened in my singing vocal practice; like rest of your viewers. So, I again thank you for coming into limelight to be an assistance to all of us..keep it up and good luck be on your way always...!!
Kulwant Chandel I’m so glad to hear my lessons have been helping you ! Keep it up ! The fun thing is the journey
Hi I like the vids
meli this is real.. i told you thousand times.. i love u meli ❤😔
nice exercise
She is really so cute🥰🥰🥰🥰☺️☺️
My voice cracks at low notes after singing continuesly for sometime, will this exercise help me .
I need to know how you do the exercises notes lol but great! I was visualizing ga like a half meter, when you said a circle I got it better. And less air hitting high notes???
you are my teacher
thnks i do it everyday
you are my angel
Kristel Rivadeneira thanks that’s so sweet
I found out I was just pushing too much air out, sang a lot more softly and my pitch is much better. I was singing too loudly to overpower my acoustic guitar, which is really loud, and I got a microphone and sang softly. But, this helped, thank you!
I always get a voice crack even though I try the exercises
Joseph Alexandrio it takes a while to develop ! You have to be consistent . Practice at least 3x per week
Yes
Awe
Hai Meli, it has been quite a while since I joined you to get rid of my CRACKS in my singing performance. I am rather happy with the results that came down upon me from the exercise offered by you. Just to add here you have a very pristine sweet voice which at the same time embraces in harmony your facial visage and make you look a very gentle person having a color of genuine personality. This is the element and quality that attracts your students,like myself, to learn more from you and continue as much as could be possible. I hope understand what I really mean. Thanks for your efforts with a laudable disposition to all of us..take care..
My voice has been cracked for more than months buh I feel a relief on my muscles after ds exercise
Meli do you have a singing program or website so we can learn singing basics and higher techniques?
Awsome exercises 🥳 each exercise per day how many minutes need to do mam?
I love your music techniques!😊
Jilvam Oliveira thanks so much !
Spanish subtitles please 👐👐👐👐👐
I love to sing a lot of 90s stuff. All of my favorite singers are the screamers at the top of their game. Sebastian Bach Chris Cornell Rob halford. I can pull off about 90% of the stuff but there's certain things I've just never been able to attain. And I have struggled for years with my voice cracking and doing odd ball stuff. But that's also very challenging stuff to sing. I also seem to have problems with having enough air to carry the note out. I have struggled with allergies my whole life and that doesn't help. I have the range but just need to tweak a few things.
i still love u meli 😋😘😘😘
I have this huge break from head voice to whistle and i am begging this just get rid of it.
Sugar Candy that one takes a little longer , pe patient , keep doing the exercises
I'm a bass who can reach down to C2, but my chest voice gives out right at middle C and from there to G is kind of a treacherous no go area for my voice...very annoying because it's prime musical area... I hope this helps
for example, the melody of 2Face's "African Queen" is almost entirely in the range right around my break, somehow I can almost sing it decently now, and I think it's good practice for me...
ua-cam.com/video/_A0fWBHu9pM/v-deo.html
This actually works pretty well I'm doing the first one as I write this comment
It's a nice video, but one piece of information in the explanation is backwards.
Shorteners = low notes.
Lengtheners = high notes.
It's understandable to think the opposite though, because belting *is* done with shortened folds.
Thanks for this ! I can see how this can come across as confusing . I’ll explain it differently next time !
