    Dear Mr. Arceneaux. I'm recommending all my students to your course of study. Yours is the clearest, most effective, and accurate set of exercises I have seen online. I teach master classes in many universities and here in New York and my students are always looking for good resources. You have put together an accessible, efficacious course of study for singers of all levels. Bravo.

      Good day sir... I was hit on my neck... And after that incident, my voice becomes rough and can't those notes I do normally hit before and each time I try singing high or low low, a kind of lump sensation will appear in my throat and I will get a contraction stopping me from singing high and I get easily cracked because of this incident... My real texture has been lost... What has happened to my vocal cords and will I ever recover sir, is being 3months this incident happened sir... I need a reply from you and recommendation sir...

      I agree with chuck... this has been really helpful... also einstein stated trying something repeatedly and expecting different results is just plain SAD (trump impression) i struggled to be confident in my singing voice.. these awareness exercisses have been an EYEOPENER@@.

    Quick summary for anyone who needs it, hope it helps!
    - Do it every day (everything)
    - Good for all genres
    1. Yawning (relax and open up the throat)
    2. Gentle cough (feel the abdominal, sides, chest, and back muscles)
    --- Light gentle lip rolls ---
    3. Light gentle lip rolls, like sigh-ing (throat stay relaxed and let the body work)
    3.1. Similar to 3 but do it while shaking your head from side to side (like you're saying no)
    4. Continue to shake your head from side to side but go from high to low note
    5. Lip roll from low to high notes (tip: tense or lift up shoulders and lip roll while you relax)
    6. Gently bent knees down (like squatting) as you lip roll from low to high note (body goes down, voice goes up)
    7. Similar to 6's motion but high to low notes (voice goes down with your body)

      @uthix7291 4 роки тому +52

      The one thing I have learnt from my own experience is that anyone and everyone can sing.Just one important thing is that everyone has their own range, until an unless you do not cross the range you can do wonders. One thing I have been struggling with even after getting better is the confidence of telling others that I am capable of singing. So I advice u to sing alone with yourself but sing with a group of people (your friends I would recommend). This is important cause if you are good at something it is essential for you to communicate it and sometimes confidence is an essential part cause without confidence in your voice and in yourself the worst may come out of you. I hope you enjoy your journey of being a badass singer and don’t give up 👍👍👍

    To anyone watching wondering if these work, I've been watching Eric's videos for a few years and JUST doing these warm-ups improved my voice by the end. I'm not joking! I sang a song before I did these and sang the same one after and my tone was much clearer, my high notes were less strained, and I started to deliver vibrato consistently!! My sister laughed the whole video till I sang at the end and her jaw dropped, she wasn't laughing anymore. I literally do these once every few months but still continue to improve so if I did these daily I'd be set! IT IS THE BEST, THIS IS WORTH PRACTICING!!

That for me is the blessing of blessings in your course. May joy love abundance and peace be your companions and may Jesus always be the light that shines upon you . May God continue to bless you and your family and your children and your children's children for a thousand generations . Thank you eternally in Jesus name Amen and Amen from Sacramento California 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️

  • @randymurphy
    @randymurphy 5 років тому +65

    Progress Report: I've been practicing all these tips for about a 7-9 days. Finally I cracked myself up thinking, here I am, another one of hundreds of thousands of viewers making silly sounding lip rolls and other funny stuff. But they say laughing is good for you, and given my vocally challenged situation, I couldn't possibly get any worse. After only a week of daily effort, and feeling I was making some progress, I went back to the studio and laid down the same track I'd recorded prior to starting the exercises.
    I was shocked to find that while I had more confidence, my sound sucked even more than it did before. I was louder and steadier, but no "better". Still I persisted, and two days later I remembered another tip from another one of Eric's videos, which was to try to let your "talking voice" come through. It's not like I didn't know that already, but what's cool about Eric's tutorials is that he reminds you of the fundamentals. When I worked my talking voice into the mix, suddenly things started coming together.
    Also, don't be fooled by the seeming ridiculousness of the exercises. What I found is that it's not the "lip roll" or whatever the exercise is that is the point. The point is focusing on what is taking place within your physical system when you are doing the exercise, e.g. the rate and steadiness of the airflow required to maintain the exercise; whether or not the tension of certain muscles is necessary to achieve the same effect, and separating what is happening with your vocal chords from the rest of your body.
    Singing is something that I assumed should be as natural as talking, and while that's partly true, there's a lot more going on than we think, and exploring that is what Eric's tutorials will help you do. I realize that real progress is going to take me longer than a week or two. But in only 9 days, I have a new appreciation for the way my body works when using it as a musical instrument. It has given me a basic palette from which to find the right colors ( if that makes any sense ). Before this it was all accident combined with a lot of trial and error.

    • @Dhruv-qw7jf

      Hey, I'm assuming by the talking voice, he means the chest voice (that's the general terminology, at least), but I've got a problem. I can't tap into my chest voice. It's weird. I don't why, I think I got a cold a few years back and haven't been able to speak in my chest voice since then (or at least, doesn't have a very good control over it).

It has made such a great difference to my voice. My voice feels fuller, does not break, and the vocal fatigue I used to feel in my throat has reduced drastically. With so little effort and so much benefit, vocal warmups are pure gold in terms of return on investment. I am going to stick to this routine and learn more about vocal warmups and voice training. I can not thank you enough. Thank you Eric! 🙏

      It's early morning 04:00am so it's not hard for me to yawn

    This is my FIRST time doing this exercise and at the end I felt my throat much more open than at the beginning, and my frequent song sounded better already. Can’t wait to see my progress over time, and thank you already!
