There's no getting around it: Vocal exercises are the weirdest part of learning to sing.
But the truth is that vocal exercises are the best way to improve your singing voice no matter whether you're trying to hit higher notes or sing with vibrato.
So today, I wanted to take a moment to discuss the 10 best vocal exercises four singers. I'll also give you lots of exercises that work in both male and female keys that way you can practice along at home.
Let's get into it.
So what is a vocal exercise really? Singing exercises are really just a specific singing sound that you make on all the different notes across your range or in a specific range of your voice.
The whole point of a vocal exercise is to train your voice to do something that it doesn't do naturally very well.
And how does it do that?
By keeping the sound consistent from the bottom to the top part of your voice, your singing voice is actually able to achieve a new skill or coordination that it wasn't able to before.
Why is that so different from singing songs? Well that's because in songs things are changing all the time. The melody, the vowels, the consonants everything is constantly changing in songs which is why they're so hard.
Instead, if you try it some vocal exercises to help you sing those notes instead you would find that it was a lot easier. So if you're having a hard time singing songs well, try these vocal exercises.
The first vocal exercise were going to do today is the five tone count. If you've seen my channel before, you may have noticed that I used the 5-tone count to help students find their vocal tone better.
It's very simple. All you do is count from one to five while you sing a 5-tone scale and back down.
The next vocal exercise I'm going to show you will help you expand your vocal range. It's the octave and a half lip Trill.
This is one of the most popular vocal exercises out there. And it's for good reason.
It's because the lip Trill is one of the best exercises for helping you expand your vocal range safely.
In this exercise you'll basically blow your lips together to let your lips flop as you sing the different notes in the octave and a half scale.
In the next exercise, we're going to get some edge on the higher notes in your voice. One of my favorite exercises for doing that is the octave and a half "ng" like the word rung.
In this case what you're going to do is just making nasal sound like you're saying the word "rung" that you're holding the NG at the end of the word.
Then you'll just apply the same nasal feeling on to the octave in half scale.
In the next vocal exercise I'm going to show you how to hit higher notes. One of my favorite exercises for doing this is the octave and a half "Gee" exercise.
In the singing exercise, you're just going to sing the word "Gee" as in the word "geese" as you sing the octave and a half scale.
In the next vocal exercise we're going to help you hit those higher notes with more power.
One of my favorite exercises for doing this is the octave and a half "Nay".
In this exercise you're going to say the word nay as in neighbor as you sing across the octave and a half scale.
In the next exercise I'm going to show you how to eliminate your vocal break.
In this singing exercise, you're going to sing a bratty "Nay" as in "neighbor" on an octave arpeggio repeat scale.
In the next singing exercise we're going to learn how to belt safely. In this exercise you're going to sing the sound "Nae" as in "nasty" on an octave arpeggio repeat scale.
Unfortunately, the "Nae" does not work for everyone and so sometimes it's helpful to work with different vocal exercises to solve this problem.
In the next singing exercise I'm going to show you a way that you can sing those higher notes in a belted way without straining your voice.
In this exercise, you're going to sing an octave arpeggio repeat scale on the sound "Bae" as in bat.
In the next technique, you're going to learn to sing without strain.
In this exercise you're going to sing the sound "Mah" as in "mom" on an octave repeat scale.
In the final exercise, we're going to relax your entire vocal range by singing the word "Mum" as in a British mother on an octave and a half scale.
As you sing through these vocal exercises, make sure that you're not straining or hurting your voice.
The whole point of vocal exercises is to sing without straining your voice so that you can learn to do something new and apply that feeling to songs as well.
Thanks a million Matt. I have applied all of these exercises and my voice has improved 10 fold. You are right. They sound silly but they work wonders for my voice. You are the best. You are also a great teacher too buddy.
You're welcome Juan!
How do you sound now??
@@ChrisReyes19 I have been doing the exercises for about 4 years now and my singing voice is IMHO awesome. When singing I incorporate all the techniques I have learned. You have to know your own body to know how much you can do or not do. I hit all the high notes and my voice will not crack like most people will. My air will not "run out" when I sing a song. I'm no pro btw. I just sing for fun at karaoke but most people will tell me I'm very good. That I have "natural talent". I know it's because of the daily exercises. It takes lots of daily dedication. All in all. I like my voice now. I can imitate many singers. One of my favorites is Luis Muigel. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would pull that off but thanks to the exercises and techniques I now can. Look him up on UA-cam. He's really really good. Don't stop exercising your voice. Believe me. Anybody can sing. I am proof of that. It will not happen overnight and you will need to follow through. But in the end your voice will improve 100 fold. Happy journey In your quest to sing and improve YOUR voice. Also, look at many voice coaches on UA-cam for hints and little hidden gems that they give out. Especially when they hear other professionals singing. It's all in the technique. Talented singers do what they do because someone taught them the techniques professionally and they had to work at it day in and day out.
@@juanantoniogonzalez8175 this was a great Motivation for me...thanks.
Hi Matt, I am so happy that I found channel. I’m new with your techniques. I love to sing karaoke, but my voice is terrible. Let me ask you a question. How many times a week? Is it gonna take very long time to know how to do vocal? Thanks. I’m gone to practice now. Have a wonderful weekend Matt❤️
You're a great teacher, love how simply you put things. You're article on "5 traits all great singers share" is very simple and helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! and thanks
I've always loved singing but had a hard time hitting the higher notes. I sing more at an alto/tenor range rather than soprano. This helped tremendously. The last exercise, I actually do all the time but didn't realize it helped with my voice. Thanks for the video, I subscribed and will be watching more ❤️
You're so good this is really helpful. Thanks
I have been enjoying your vocal exercises. I think you have helped me a lot. I am kinda weirdly looking forward to how I'm going sounded like when the time come oh so quickly. Thanks :))
This was so helpful for me I used to have a pretty good singing voice and then stopped singing for 4 years and my voice got so bad. This is really helping me get back to where I once was!
That's so great to hear!
Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Riddleagan Beautiful Melody Remedy (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for improving singing skills minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got excellent success with it.
Same with me. May we all get there hun.🤗🤗
I love that song, foo fighters-best of you, and the part which you sang it's really high and you sang it pretty good. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
Gracias Victor! I love that song too! I think that and Everlong are my two favs. You can learn more about belters like Grohl here: ramseyvoice.com/belting/
So happy I found you I've been asked to be inducted into my high school music hall of fame and these exercises are great!
Rock on! That's wonderful!
Fantastic! Thanks!!
My favorite vocal exercise is the "ng." I feel like I am getting into my head voice easier with this exercise. You are a patience teacher. These exercise will work but it takes time and practice before they work. One day students who practice these exercises daily will sing better possibly without noticing the improvement.
Wonderful! what a great inspiration for others
Fantastic mate keep it up 🎼🎼🎼🌹
Hey Ramsey. Thanks for you posted this video of vocal tone exercise, actually my voice has been improved and you are such a great vocal couch. Thx, could you please make a video of riffs and runs 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Joseph, I did right here: ua-cam.com/video/YsE6IBIxTCA/v-deo.html
Great job, you have a lot of patience and able to find simple patterns in vocal exercises, I am learning from you :) Correct me if Im wrong - the general advise is to be creative (inventing all these funny tricks and sounds you could perform with your voice), relaxed (do not push) and attentive (listen to the body response)?
I also see that some people ask you "how is this related to singing" (disappointing, because people don't see that even singing NYA could be enjoyable) and you manage to answer this question, well done!
I think those are 3 great takeaways!
This works. You're a genius.
Glad for the kind words!

hello #Ramsey ... much thankful to you for making these wonderful vocal training tutorials because to me i am using it for my practicing and that's helping me alot to develop my vocals a bit .. i wish if you could make videos more about Pitch and Tone of a voice particularly for males because i'm having a hard time to correct my pitch and tone....!!!
My pleasure!
I like the ee, yah exercise Matt. I get a nice resonant buzz. Thanks for your tutorials.
Thanks videoherebob! You can learn how the exercise works here: ramseyvoice.com/the-10-best-vocal-exercises-for-singers-with-videos/
Where is that exercise?
Hey TheDwoods, I think Videoherebob was referring to the "Gee" exercise in my video. Not sure though.
Wow now I can sing beautiful now thank to you
I love your videos, and this will help me a lot. One question:
I should do the exercises following your 3 times scales, or should I expand it? Because I can't play piano, and on youtube I saw all exercise on vocalized that during more. Sorry, but my english it's bad,
I hope I explained myself, and thanks :)
Hey Sakuya, thanks for your message! You should do the vocal exercises as low and high as you can, so probably more than 3. I just demonstrate 3 for each gender, which means 6 x 10 total exercises means me singing a lot!!! That's the only reason I limit it to 3. But in my complete course, I have the full practice regimen: ramseyvoice.com/master-your-voice-waiting-page/
Thanx for shering
My pleasure
thanks my students look at me silly when I use my fingers for the lip trills. now I know im not crazy. I cant do lip trill. this stuff is cool .
As a beginner if I do all of these exercises everyday will my singing improve over time ?
As a bass singer is a
It possible to acheive a good sound up to around c5?
You have beautiful eyes OMG:D

30 minutes, 5x per week
Is performing these exercises at a slower tempo ok? I can't stop tensing my voice while doing these exercises then I tried doing them slower and it worked. No more tension while performing these exercises.
