Breathing* and I’m not an expert and I’m not a great singer but when I first started I have never done singing in my life and since then a year ago it’s really helped
I've been watching your videos (and applying your advise) for about a week. I'm a middle aged lady who used to sing for her supper. Long story short, life and some health problems have kept me away from singing and as a result lost all control, for nearly two years I've been hoarse on and off - your advise has literally given me my voice back. I cried the day before yesterday as I managed to sing a song, as I manage to get some voice out! Thank you so much for putting this out here for grabs. It's not all about earning a living through singing, some of us just love to tune into our soul through singing and music. Many blessings to you xoxo
Eric youre the best thing that ever happened to me . As i was 11 years old . I started my first warmup / exercise and you were the one to teach me . And from that day i knew im gonna stick with you , because youre such an amazing vocal teacher . I get every small detail youre trying to explain . I really do understand the meaning behind these little tiny things u always mention. I just feel it. Thank you for making my life easier ❤️❤️❤️
This video has been BY FAR the most helpful to me, out of the hundreds singing tips/exercise videos I’ve watched on youtube. I also have a heavy and gritty voice by nature, and doing exercise 1 and 2 provided me with so many “Ah-Ha!” moments that I’ve lost track. 60-70% of my range is locked behind the ironclad door or throat tension unless I spend a 45-60 minutes only warming up my inhale and support muscles. Getting the “One voice” feeling is a 2-3 hour grind for me right now, but the satisfaction of achieving it mean so much to me, based on my former firm belief that I was never had a chance actually sounding good. This video deserves a ton more views, its so underated!
Love the sniff hold hiss! Been doing the 3 parts of your program for several months after following your channel for a while and it's been nothing but AMAZING! Thank you so much!
Y'ALL his stuff works I swear watch the breathing ones, riff videos, tones and just the warm ups and the other stuff I swear I also got chills when I hit a note I couldn't hit before with ease but now I can do it with more ease ALTHOUGH I've only been doing it for like a month (also a bit inconsistent aswell) I'm not saying I can COMPLETELY hit it with ease now but it improved my tone, the shakyness and also my breathing improved, I could hold the note I couldn't before much longer now I got chills it's ACTUALLY working I thought I was completely helpless lmao
I bought a CD many years ago and still use some of those warmups (as recently as Sat. early morning before a gig). Yes, it went great! Thanks for asking. lol
I really like the way you teach. When I get my finances together, I will definitely be investing in your coaching. Thank you for all that you already share, it truly is of value. Keep being amazing!
I'm very happy about the third tip! I will see if I can properly use this gold to help with breathiness and punch. I'll be careful about tension in the throat :-)
Hi Eric I used to work with you a long time ago, now I am back my voice has reached a plateau that has grown-up. I still need work. Thank you. Eric for your time with me. I'm trying to keep practicing every day. 🙂
Awesome video, I remember this from your bootcamp course and I do it randomly in the house and in between songs. I have been improving with my voice. Thanks
Thanks💞I’m a new subscriber and I must say this helps a lot. I’m on the praise team at my church and I’m always out of breath or my throat would always hurt and feel tired after singing and practice,but after trying this warm up, I don’t have all that pain and exhaustion and I don’t feel like I’m out of breath anymore 😊
This is by far the best warm up video for me... I also have a low voice that I feel gets in the way of singing- like it pulls down or something and makes it hard to actually sing? Anyway, THANK YOU for sharing this. I tried the sniffing, holding and Z'ing and my voice felt so light afterwards! You are right, there really isn't a time of how long one should do this but you really do feel the difference in your throat. Took all the weight off
Thank you so much for these instructional lessons. I have improved greatly by the exercises in a short amount of time. I feel more confident with using my voice. If I had discovered your videos sooner, I would have saved me a long drive for lessons that were costly with little improvement. Thanks again
Bless you Eric. Thank you for your gift and work🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I love the vocal fry I call it The Ring because it sounds like that sound from the movie when I'm walking through the house hahaha but it always makes my voice feel better.
My go-to warm up is that reverse fry you teach in your phase 2 course paired with raspberry trills. Usually I do this while I’m boiling water for tea, so I get to inhale the steam while doing the reverse fry and I don’t worry about dryness in my vocal cords
Hi Eric! Love your approach to the voice. I love 'vocal fry'. I fall into it and all that you state is true. Like anything......practice, patient practice is necessary. I'm recording today and am grateful for your expertise. Peace Be!
I will use the sniff exercise forever now. After 3 or 4 sniffs, the rib cage unconditionally goes up without me even trying to make it go up. Then, I sing 3 or 4 words. They are flowing like never before! And the sounds come out smoother as well without the lack of continuity of the sounds. A much better leggatto.
WOW !!! never heard of this exercise even tho my family teases me about my super-power sense of smell lol - tysm Eric - this exercise is immediately effective - YOU ABSOLUTELY ROCK
Great ! I really feel the sniff is doing exactly what you're saying , expanding my chest and ribs .... and the vocal fry is very effective for me ....the z I didn't tried to much , yet , but I will do it . I really love to watch your videos . Never get tired ore bored . A lot of useful information here . I see a book , on your keyboard stand ...Iron Sh... is it Iron Shirt Chi Kung ? Don't want to bother you , but that's what I thought of , when I saw that ...Thank you for your videos ! Keep doing what you're doing ! I really appreciate this and I'm sure there are a lot of other singers here that are agree with me . Thanks again !
It's funny how I've been doing Vocal Fry everytime I go to sleep, it's kind of just a sigh expression of mine due to a long day, I didn't know it's a vocal exercise. 😅
Hi Eric! I’m in your Phase 1 and 2 programs as well as the breathing course. I was wondering if I book a lesson with you if you could help assist me with vocal damage? I’m not positive that I do have any vocal damage but I was wondering if you’d be able to help
RavynTV I can definitely assist you. To be clear, I always recommend that a singer get a laryngoscopy done by an ENT, if they’re in any way uncertain about the health of their voice. But, if that’s not feasible right now, I can do a diagnostic assessment with you in our first lesson; we can then work from there.
It does work I'm not professional but sing for charity choirs & it has helped so much,but I since had oral thrush for 3 months I'm having trouble trying to do my higher & longer notes any tips as it's holding me back ? X
Hey Eric ! I love the "Zzz" thing + sharing my experience -- hope I'm not misleading with this but thought it might be helpful to share that the "z" thing felt like "revving up an engine" like an internal engine and then it turned into vocal frying or fracking lol😂 with the " Z" ... But now I'm thinking I shouldn't be too cavalier with adapting the Zzz energy into a fry ..... And then doing the normal gentler fry ... So when you have a moment .... Is it ok to fry / frack the Z? Or might it be harmful... ? Thanks so much 💌
FYI: Any time I’m not here on UA-cam, I’m on 👉🏽Instagram 👈🏽 posting vocal tips 😁. But I do have more UA-cam videos coming soon 🙌🏽😌.
Thank you Eric. Your UA-cam videos are making a huge impact on my vocal quality and I appreciate this. Hope to work with you one day.
How long should a person warm up?
EricArceneaux help me learn how to sing plz ): everyone keeps making fun of me because idk what I’m doing and it’s my dream
Ebby Rosemarie There’s tons of courses on his channel! I recommended doing the how to sing from your diaphragm series first. Good luck!
EricArceneaux we will be waiting on your legend
THE LORD told me to tell you that you have been the coach I've been looking for. I need your help!! Thank you for all you do! Bless you....Deb

Thank you
ThAnK yOu
Been practicing these exercises and has made a HUGE difference !
How often did you do them and how long for?
Deynah Briscoe - Worship Leader they never say 🤦🏾♂️
Jiraiya Sannin everyday I’d do his exercises 2-3 times a day for 15 mins and I’ve really seen some improvement! Diaphragm bragging is key!
Breathing* and I’m not an expert and I’m not a great singer but when I first started I have never done singing in my life and since then a year ago it’s really helped

You make learning this art so much fun, nothin but love brother.
I’ve been for lessons for two years and in a couple vids you have literally explained things better then two different teachers have.
This video has been BY FAR the most helpful to me, out of the hundreds singing tips/exercise videos I’ve watched on youtube.

Eric: calls me an artist
Me: ♪ "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies" ♪
ahahaha great song
I just discovered you and I'm blown away by how well you teach. Thank you gifted one!
Love the sniff hold hiss! Been doing the 3 parts of your program for several months after following your channel for a while and it's been nothing but AMAZING! Thank you so much!
So helpful, Eric's a natural teacher
It takes skill and love for your craft to make learning understandable AND Fun.. thanks!!
You really a gift to the music society. Thanks a million
You’re truly an awesome teacher man, only vocal videos I watch
Y'ALL his stuff works I swear watch the breathing ones, riff videos, tones and just the warm ups and the other stuff I swear I also got chills when I hit a note I couldn't hit before with ease but now I can do it with more ease ALTHOUGH I've only been doing it for like a month (also a bit inconsistent aswell) I'm not saying I can COMPLETELY hit it with ease now but it improved my tone, the shakyness and also my breathing improved, I could hold the note I couldn't before much longer now I got chills it's ACTUALLY working I thought I was completely helpless lmao
Which ones did you follow and for how long? Ive been doing the vocal warm ups 1-4 for a month but my high notes jot getting much better
I’ve learned so much more from you than any other coach on UA-cam you should make more videos!!
I bought a CD many years ago and still use some of those warmups (as recently as Sat. early morning before a gig). Yes, it went great! Thanks for asking. lol
I really like the way you teach. When I get my finances together, I will definitely be investing in your coaching. Thank you for all that you already share, it truly is of value. Keep being amazing!
I Just Did These Exercises & They Worked, I Now Fully Understand How Singing Works🎤🎤🎤🎤
Yay Eric is back, there is no vocal coach like you sir. Your vocal techniques are great though it's somehow silly but it really works
I have been attending these classes and I can confidently say that next week I have an Audition, so thank you sooo much
@Nkhensani Chauke
How did it go?
I'm very happy about the third tip! I will see if I can properly use this gold to help with breathiness and punch. I'll be careful about tension in the throat :-)
Hi Eric I used to work with you a long time ago, now I am back my voice has reached a plateau that has grown-up. I still need work. Thank you. Eric for your time with me. I'm trying to keep practicing every day. 🙂
Awesome video, I remember this from your bootcamp course and I do it randomly in the house and in between songs. I have been improving with my voice. Thanks
Thank you Eric. Great tips for warm-ups going to sign up to the breathing boot camp. ❤
You have a great sense of humor. Love it
💕every session Eric shares is really a "share" as in kindness, love, a safe space that's also SOOOO SMART + without judgment. Just ... AWESOME!
Thanks💞I’m a new subscriber and I must say this helps a lot. I’m on the praise team at my church and I’m always out of breath or my throat would always hurt and feel tired after singing and practice,but after trying this warm up, I don’t have all that pain and exhaustion and I don’t feel like I’m out of breath anymore 😊
you're an awesome teacher, you use familiar comparisons that makes it easier!
I totally enjoy your videos........it has helped me a lot during covid and not being able to have live vocal classes. Thank you,
Очень интересный канал. Отличные упражнения, а также отличные пояснения к упражнениям.
This is by far the best warm up video for me... I also have a low voice that I feel gets in the way of singing- like it pulls down or something and makes it hard to actually sing?

You are right, there really isn't a time of how long one should do this but you really do feel the difference in your throat. Took all the weight off
Thank for your videos! It helps me a lot not just my voice but also my bowel movements.
Wish I could take your classes to better myself and be a better singer.
Maybe one-day.
WOW I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL
Thanks Eric! Can you please do a warm up for women who want to explore their lower range? Im a soprano
THIS VIDEO IS GOLD!!! THANK YOU ERIC!
Glad you found it helpful 😊
Too legit Eric. Thank you! 🙏🏻💥😎
Thank Eric, I’m starting to do your vocal exercise this week , and I already enjoy them.
Thank you so much sir Eric! Thanks for sharing. I am your student for life!
Thank you so much for these instructional lessons. I have improved greatly by the exercises in a short amount of time. I feel more confident with using my voice. If I had discovered your videos sooner, I would have saved me a long drive for lessons that were costly with little improvement. Thanks again
Where u been? You vids helped me practice my mixed register like 5 years ago
Which vids did you watch ? I'm trying to improve my mix too
Your videos help me a lot, love you
This approach is lit! Amazing, amazing
Glad you like it!
Thank you so much.. you're amazing at teaching how to connect to the voice!! A true teacher!!
Bless you Eric. Thank you for your gift and work🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I love the vocal fry I call it The Ring because it sounds like that sound from the movie when I'm walking through the house hahaha but it always makes my voice feel better.
“The Ring” is definitely appropriate 😂👍🏽
Thank you so much for this, I tell anyone interested in professional singing to check out your lessons. (I just sing for fun & gospel choir)
Thanks for the Fry...and vocal warm ups..
My go-to warm up is that reverse fry you teach in your phase 2 course paired with raspberry trills. Usually I do this while I’m boiling water for tea, so I get to inhale the steam while doing the reverse fry and I don’t worry about dryness in my vocal cords
Reverse fry? How would that work? Are you inhaling and frying?
You sounded like Kim Kardarsian there for a second when you explained chronic harmful speaking.
This was very helpful. I do a sound rolling. It helps.
Thanks! The sniff exercise is is something I can do now right before it’s my turn to sing to reduce my anxiety My anxiety tenses me up.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 great video... will be taking heed to this while customizing it to my needs.
Hi Eric! Love your approach to the voice. I love 'vocal fry'. I fall into it and all that you state is true. Like anything......practice, patient practice is necessary. I'm recording today and am grateful for your expertise. Peace Be!

Always brilliant, extremely useful content. I love your energy and passion. Thank you for sharing so generously 💞💞💞

Eric, THANK YOU A LOT !!! Please tell do it necessary to produse a vocal fry on the breath or not???
