I am a beginner in singing. I want a video to start with. What do you advise me to learn??
Thank you so much😂
How does this help with my voice (not being sarcastic)❤
I was not expecting a sudden explosion in production value 😂😂 that was the best “jingle” ever
Hey how long have you been singing?
Yessss who else subbed when the jingle dropped!!??
This is THE most clear introduction to the subject I've EVER come across! THANK YOU!!!
😅 wow, what a tribute. I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Facts
Very helpful

My favorite black espiritual:
"Joshua, fought The Battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua, fought The Batte of Jericho,
and the walls came tumblin' down."
I love spirit black!
To anyone reading this, as someone who’s been singing for most of their life, this information is extremely effective and useful.
Thanks so much for your comment!

Lol 😂 Really? That’s instant diet, you’re talking about your legs 🦵? 😂

😮this is not a Jingle, it's a Masterpiece!
I'm a firm believer that a talented person can only show you what they can do, a gifted person can teach you how to do it.
But only a few like you can do both.
Thank you for the great lesson.
Thanks so much for your comment brother!

Damn thats a good ass line, I'm gonna start using that.
This is amazing ❤
Not you taking us to church and teaching us a music lesson! 🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love this!!! 💜
What a blessing ! I am starting to sing again . I stopped some 15 plus years ago and now singing for the Lord Jesus . Starting singing from scratch again !
I’m in the same boat, Marilyn!! I’m happy to hear you’re singing, too!
I wish you both all the best.
Bless you, this made by day
Something happens when your audience becomes Jesus.. You just want to belt it out and hit every note. Ive always enjoyed singing but after meeting my Savior I'm searching every avenue to become the best that i can possibly be.. Many blessings to you!
Amen! Same here, I used to be able to hit whistle notes but I have a LOT of work to do. But as long as I'm singing for Jesus, I know I'll get there.
Pentecostal praise singer/choir director here: I love this channel and the help I receive
Literally almost started praise dancing at the song 😭
I feel so blessed to have found your video 😊🙏🏼 I used to sing in a choir in school and church, and I miss the instructions and the practices. You’ve brought me back to feeling the spirit. I lost my Dad a year ago and I miss him very much. He was the Pastor of our church. I’ve started to practice again. You inspired me 😊🙏🏼
Practice and U get perfect...U don't need someone to tell YOU how to sing but U sure need a Guide..mind U the most comes from You

💙🔥 thanks sis!
agreed
taylor swlft fearless
This guy didn't lie when he said to practice this everyday.I feel like Ariana each time I sing.Thank you so much!🤗
you dont PRACTICE runs......it comes from your soul. You cant TEACH runs......smh. It comes from a SOULFUL place. From your gut. NOT from a teacher.
@@cflo1023 Nice to start somewhere though!
@@jeremiedayglider1690 starts in your soul.....it's inside. Organic. Melody is more important than a run or riff. Love runs, love MELODY first. Tell the story of the song.
@@cflo1023 no we need practice. its like drawing. u cant be a pro artist with no experience or practice. stop saying stupid shit like this....
@@tymerewhite8874 did I curse you? Disrespect you? no.....smh. NEVER PRACTICE RUNS.....it comes from the GUT.....not from a PIANO. Lets stay respectful. Youre younger, they always lash out, lol. smh. RUNS come from within.....MELODY is what's important.
Some people are gifted singers. Some are gifted teachers. Few are both. You're both. I finally got singing the pentatonic scale after watching your video. Thankyou!
I watch a lot of UA-cam. I’m only 7 min in and you’re so concise and accessible, this is polished like a true educator.
Wow! I've been a vocalist for YEARS (non-professionally) and I've learned more in this 17 minute video than ever before! Thank you brother for sharing your gifts!!! God bless and keep you!
I love it when vocal coaches can actually sing. Brilliant!!!
Dude, you crushed the assignment!!!! This is BY FAR the most clear explanation of riffs and runs on the internet!!!! Seeing and hearing the meticulous breakdown of the individual notes is next level!!!! I can't tell you enough how helpful this has been. THANK YOU!!!!
I'm so glad it helped you!!
Thank you so much. It’ve been 2 years, so can i send u on instagram the home work?
I knew the pentatonic scale from guitar and I never thought about using it for vocals. I’ve never seen so many positive comments on YT before for a teacher and it’s totally well deserved! Great lesson thank you!
I’ve been doing runs and riffs since I was 5 years old and I still enjoyed watching this! Superb! This should have 50 mil views. 🎶✨
Same as me I've always known how to do it's just naturally happens whenever I sing.
@My Twelve Little Buttons do the assignment and follow all his trainings u will be able to nothing is impossible if u act it
BABYEE WHEN I TELL YOU I WENT BACK IN TIME TO THE GREATER MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA CITY???!!!!!
Amen!!!!
"Nothing is the same after ME" that's what I heard and I wholeheartedly agree!!! That was a bop too I was singing along :D
I have never received vocal training, just been singing to myself my whole life. Singing along with vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and actually Regina Spektor has been a HUGE aid - listening to their articulation, tone, incredible control and creativity, and at first honestly just trying to imitate it. But by imitating, I began to 'feel' the difference in my body compared to my 'normal' singing, and gradually pieced together the comprehension of using different muscles to achieve a specific result. I believe anyone can sing, or play music, create art, dance, any of these things so long as they have a desire to do it. Self expression is a skill, one that every human being deserves to learn to cultivate in every form that pleases them. THANK YOU for spreading this message and it's power!! One Voice & One LOVE
♥🕯
Beautiful words! Thank you so much for your comment!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice Thank YOU, friend, for resonating with & spreading the Love with such mastery, intensity and exuberance! (:
You’d better eeev very-wheeerrrrrrreee son!
Mr McKay you are KILLING THIS!!! Thanks so much man. I been a pro for 20 years and just learnt so much from this one vid. Riffs and runs were never my things but … they are now I’ve seen your vids. Big new fan from London! 🎉🎉🎉
As someone with a degree in vocal performance and many years of singing from a stage, the flawless, speedy runs still always felt like a pipe dream to me. However, this info is pure gold, and these exercises helped me to start unlocking the note separation needed for those beautiful runs. Now I feel like I have the confidence to add another tool to the tool belt. Thank you!
I'm just seeing this in 2023 and I LOVE IT! Can't wait to practice and share with friends who want to learn how riff's and runs are done! Thank you Paul!

Only Paul McKay can write jingles that deserve Grammys!
Fantastic. It’s about time that I run across a creative and immersive way to have fun with a pentatonic scale with soul riffs. Thank you.
Rarely am I this impressed and excited by a UA-cam video. I'll start practicing tomorrow! Thanks Paul! 😊
Thank you, Paul! You took the channel to another level!!!
Thanks Robson! I know there are NEW LEVELS for you to rise to as well!! Keep rising brother!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice Paul!!! Singer/Teacher/Coach after my own heart!!! I've been following for YEARS!! YOU BETTAH!! If you don't take us up!!! And do it in love and fun?! Come on SIR!!
@@mking214 thanks Mimi! I so appreciate your support and kind words!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice I'm only 12 years old but, this is really helpful. Great technique!
I’m super happy to see this back after the premiere! Paul, you are living up to the excellence our God portrays in all that He does. You’re creating history here. We love you🥰💖
Bless you Abby thanks so much for your prayers and support it means so much! 😇🔥
I vocal coach in the studio when I produce and a qualified vocal instructor, and man, this is the best breakdown on these principles I've seen. Congrats for making it so fun to watch.
I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English and I'm going to use your videos to practice listening and I'm very happy! 🥰 🇧🇷
This has always been an area of singing I've avoided out of fear. Thank you for your generosity and helping me see the possibilities!
This is literally the most fun instructional video I've ever watched. I was laughing, smiling and wiggling along the whole way through!
My jaw droppedddd. I just hit a run, how did you dooo thissss. I’ve been trying to sing my whole life. I love you, thank you.
You are the absolute best teacher!! This is the first time I’ve been able to sing this long without my vocals hurting, bless your heart ❤️
I've studied and performed Jazz for years but never learned this. Always wanted to know how to do riffs and runs with consistency. I just thought my voice wasn't cable of doing it. Now I get it and will practice it daily! Thank you!!
its official- you are my favorite vocal coach on yt!!! man! the song you wrote is sooo lit!
😊
I rarely comment but this was brilliant!
Your unique style of teaching works.
I couldn't help but sing along!
You deserve every success!
Thanks!
I understand this video is 2 years old but I’ve been listening to you for years and all of what you’ve put out is so helpful… I feel comfortable as a singer with a lot of family members who in my former opinion were better than me. But I can do it too!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ thanks!!! Blessings on you and your family!!! Sorry for just writing something.
Dope how you broke it down with the numbers 1, 121,12321, etc, made perfect sense too. Will definitely be using that method because im still learning
I like the approach of making pentatonic scale more systematic and easier to digest. Have been following Cheryl Porter too.. and developed a habit of doing her 10 minute exercise daily. To be extended with pentatonic runs. Thank you!
Love Cheryl Porter, she's awesome! Thanks for watching!
We’re loving Cheryl Porter’s 10 minute exercises daily here too followed by Paul’s Riffs and runs! So much fun and the clearest explanations I’ve found. Thankyou @PaulMckayONEvoice!
What about Ken Tamplin
@@jessylynch4569’m literally about to do the same! Cheryl Porter warm up 10 minute and Paul’s riff and run video. I just need to what voice I’m supposed to sing in? Chest voice head voice throat voice confuse me so much
5:58 To practice.
1:42 To practice.
I just stumbled on this and after losing my voice for 2 years, this is so helpful in so many ways. God bless you!
I’ve been singing my whole life, trained by many many people and never had it broken down for me like this! THANK YOU
I constantly watch singing videos and this one just popped out of nowhere… holy crap, what a breath of fresh you are my dude. Definitely want to keep learning from you. Great video, entertaining, funny, instructional.. and freaking homework? This is too awesome.
So true!
👍💓
The most intensive explanation on UA-cam and there’s even a jingle to help learn!!! Amazing, amazing!
My children are homeschooled. And I want to incorporate a music course . Your videos are fun, interactive, well made, comprehensive and family friendly. My family will be adding you to the syllabus! As for myself, I too am a vocalist but have not performed in 3 years. I am rusty when singing runs. You are getting me together! Thank you
Oh my gosh. This is the MOST helpful riffs and runs vid I've ever come across!!! Thank you so much. And it's so fun to have you as our vocal coach. Imma be consistently watching your vids from now on :D
As someone who’s been sing over 20 years in many genres, this was AMAZING. Thank you for you commitment to teaching in a wonderful way!! Definitely got a new sub! ❤️
Paul, you are a great vocalist and a great teacher. Using the pentatonic along with "back phrasing" works wonders.
Wow, this is the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. Some practical things to get my singing songs better.
I have been using this lesson for the past 3 weeks ...and WOAHHH. I REALLY see the strengthening and progression and fluidity and separation of my riffs and runs. 💣💣💣 Thank you Paul!!
This is by far the best advanced voice lessons ive seen on YT. Thank you 💙💙💙 may the Lord bless you more.
This was such an impressive presentation! No better way to learn than while laughing and having fun! Thank you!
The best video for riffs and runs I've found on UA-cam. Thanks!
I loved it, am a total begginer and this has been great to practice to get better in hittibg the right notes. Thank you so much for uploading it. Love from Brazil
Thank you! 🧡🧡🧡 I miss so much singing in my gospel choir since March! To sing a long with you is a perfect cure which makes me happy and keeps my voice warm! 🤗🤗🤗
I must tell this is the best video I've watched today. Thanks for sharing this sir
your speaking voice is so calming and your singing voice is so startling, but like in a good way. ❤
I've always loved your tone and your soulful singing. Congratulations on the growth of your channel! 😎
This content is literal perfection! And it’s churchy too! I’m here for it!
your jingle is waay underrated. The genius behind it - the facts that the words do re mi ... are sung in their correct tone and the pun on some of the words "after me things will never be the same" - LISTEN ! Give this man his dues .
This was a great lesson. Most vocal coaches teach in a way that doesn’t really feel like singing, but you kept it very musical and fun. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you so much for this! I've had a few voice teachers try to break down riffs for me. I've developed decent agility and range, but my transitions always got muddy as I got faster. I always felt like these teachers were doing something extra to keep note definition at high speeds (it sounded to me kinda like a forced vibrato), but none of them could explain it. It just blew my mind to have someone finally explain note separation techniques and illustrate them at a lower speed. I'll definitely be watching your other videos on the subject!
Me encantó este video. Una voz maravillosa. Felicitaciones y gracias infinita por compartir...Aprendí mucho.❤
This taught me stuff AND made me smile. You're the man! :) Thank you.
WOW this video is so well made and it's so helpful! THANK YOU! It's so rare to find a vocal coach like you that breaks everything down well and makes it fun! I felt like a jazz singer after watching this!
Wow! Didn't expect that Soul scale song to be so good! "E-VER-Y-WHERE" Favorite part, lol. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Oh my gosh, thank you! I've been singing karaoke for 10 years but this is helping me get next level. 💕🦋
Thank you so much for this
I've been trying to learn singing for months and I've never found any video as helpful as this ❤️
This is amazing! Thank you for breaking down your instruction so clearly and providing helpful practice exercises!
I wish I could learn to sing like this. You sound amazing. My throat closes and I can’t sing 🥹. I love the control in your voice .
I’m not an expert but have been singing nearly 70 years. A lot of people sing in their throat. You have to think of voice placement, where you want the sound to come from. One form is to think of placing the sound in your sinus cavity. It takes practice like everything else. Listen for the difference in sound from the throat to the sinuses. Also, try to open your throat more. Simple vocalizing with an Ahh sound helps a lot. Also, sing relaxed. Let the throat relax. Support the air coming from your mouth with your diaphragm. Again, it takes practice. This is a place to start. Maybe there are more helpful hints on line. Try to sing in a choir (church or local choral group). The more you sing the easier it becomes. Start simple and practice daily. Just simple vocal exercises with vowel sounds really helps to strengthen your vocal chords and the muscles in your neck. Good luck.
Wow.. You are such a good teacher ...thank you and God bless you
THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN YOURE AMAZING
I didn’t realize how hard the dips in the pitches were! Omg, no wonder my runs never sounded as crispy clear! Thank you so much!!
Could listen to you educate all day! Clear and precise instructions! Entertaining, fun and I'm actually learning. This is great and thank you 😊
Man! You have such a voice, charisma, and talent for teaching, composition, and delivery. I subscribed after the first few minutes. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge!
The song is masterly!
Ok you have leveled up my friend. Notification bell is on 🔥
😎🔥🙌🏾 More like this on the way!
@@PaulMcKayONEvoice I like this, can we contact via email or what's app, I need to get you closer 🙏
Wow dude. This is the first time seeing such an amazing vocal coach. You are really amazing and I have learned so much just from this video. I have already subscribed and I'm certain that I will really grow in music with you videos man. Thank you so much.
Thank you Kevin Heart! you definitely ROCK!
This video is OUTSTANDING!!!!
I love this so much! I've been good at hitting notes but going that fast has always scared me. It's like my brain doesn't have time to think of what notes i should use next, but learning the literal scale needed for that def helps. And my note separation is also decent slowly, but your explanation is helping me practice doing it faster. Also just the amount of soul in your voice and just your energy makes it really fun to sing along. You're a great teacher and I feel like you encourage a lot of confidence. Thanks a lot for this!
Wonderful! Not a singer, but this applies to my practice on sax. Loved playing along and playing the tones on my instrument. Just wonderful. I appreciate you.
You’re an awesome teacher, and you have a beautiful voice.
Thank you kind sir, this is one of the best tutorials on riffs hands down ❤
This is so helpful! I was gonna put this in my history and come back to it since I wasn’t in the space to practice but your teaching style and personality is so charming I just stayed and watched the whole video. I def and subscribing.
Thank you SO much for this great information. Having trained classically, I am so glad I am FINALLY getting the concrete info I need to transition into pop and R & B better. Wish I could have found you five years ago!
No worries! Glad you found the video helpful!!
have learnt alot...improved from 1 to something beautiful! Thank you Pmckay.
I discovered this video casually and I LOVED IT. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you so much for sharing! I am a classical based voice teacher trying to meet my new students needs for another genres, and your video is such a great help! You're a real teacher, explaining how those things work step by step, from scratch. Regards from Indonesia. God bless you! =)
Thanks for watching. God bless you too brother! 🙏🏽
I appreciate what you’re doing. Your videos are very helpful and clear. I don’t understand why you don’t have a lot more subscribers..keep up the good content. Much love
🔥👊🏽Thanks for subscribing and watching. Things will flourish in due time brother, I just gotta keep bringing the fire!
This man is INSANE, amazing teacher.
this got me dancing in my room while singing 😂😂🤩🤩 thanks so much for brightening our day 💗
I truly loved the way u teach riffs n runs in it's simplest form, which makes it easier to understand..... I will definitely work on it..... Looking forward to master riffs n runs just as u👍
THIS WAS DOPE! I have never been able to do this before! Kick ass! I wanna learn everything you teach now! Running over to grab the crash course now! Thank you so much!
“Put some style on it”….went back and down to some soulful roots! Beautiful range and ability to code switch as needed with ease😅 and mastery of gifts. Awesome lesson for understanding and maintaining differing natural delivery of music 🎶
That sound so good, After riding all night listening to Rock n Roll on the radio, then the Gospel, I can just see the red country Alabama red dirt roads leading down to my Grandpa's plantation house farm, with the fog across the road and out in the pasture. That Gospel sound is nourish to my soul. Thank you.
