Love the blurred kitten at the end😆 I don' t have that much time right now, but I am practising your exercises and tipps before bed. My puppy likes to cuddle with me before bed and he doesn't seem to hate my breathing and singing practise...so I guess that is not bad🐕🦺
I'm sure in twenty years or so a worldfamous artist is going to answer the question in an interview "How did you become a singer?" with "Well, as a kid i found the masterclasses of Floor Jansen on youtube and the rest is history."
Floor is getting more and more confident talking to the camera, which is great since she is using youtube as a way to escape and talk to us more. Thank you Floor!
I remember all of those exercises from my singing lessons, they really helped me progress! Looks like I had a great teacher if you are recommending the same things
As a classical music student who knows a lot of classical singers it's very interesting to see how much your vocal techniques and warmups are related to the stuff I hear them do. I expected it would have a lot more in common with what the jazz/pop department singers do, but actually it's closer to classical. Very cool!
Hi Floor. I remember, some years ago, in your previous website, I saw that you offered singing lessons, but I never could afford it. So, this is a special gift to me, and for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing this. I admire so much 🖤✨.
@@T1hitsTheHighestNote Well professionals (such as floor) id trust, but when I wrote it I was thinking more of DIY stuff. Some of the IT stuff can be pretty ropey too
ahaha, well it's somewhat true, Floor is just giving some insights, but as she said already you do need someone to look over you while you do exercises and correct mistakes. Then you will probably need someone else to correct the mistakes that first one allowed (or taught) you to do.
Me: *takes a sip of wine at **8:05* Floor: lip-fluttering mucus-clearing range exercise 8:12-8:20 Me: 8:12-*8:20 snorting red wine out my nose and laughing my ass off :-) Guess my inner child is alive and well! Floor thank you so much for sharing your masterclasses with us, even those who can't sing but have fun trying! Be well!
I was able to find the option of subtitles in Spanish and now I feel completely happy. I don't think I would have imagined having a vocal coach like you in my life. completely grateful for these incredible things that you are giving us.
Floor, IMHO your lower register is just as impressive as you upper. You have such a rich, well-rounded voice. I’m not a singer but these master classes are enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
before starting singing i always use this video for my vocal warm up. I think is the best way of warming up, my favourite singer of all times , teaching me how to warm up ... love you Floor.
This IS amazing! I never sang so I am still trying to understand, it feels like the inverse of what we are used to. When you say relax or let go, that's actually when you breath in, and when you are controlling the muscles is during the breathing out. Fascinating stuff. I would always associate relax with breathing out all at once. I love your didactic!
Floor, this is so amazing that you’ve been taking the time to do this! It’s so cool to see my favorite singer give lessons to people for free. I just sing for my own enjoyment (and I’m not good) but I still love watching these. THANK YOU 😊
That warm up piano melody reminds me of when I took vocal lessons years ago haha. All these master classes making me really want to pick it back up again.
Wow 😳 I haven’t practiced warmups in about 20 years. I remember doing the E-Eh-Ah-Oh-Oo. I’ve never done it this way with the mmm, nnn, yeeeahh. It was *SUPER* 🤩 FUN! I also realized how much I missed singing. Thank you!
Hello Floor! Thank you for making this video. There are so many reasons why finding your video is so very serendipitous for me today. Your voice is stunning as you know. What has always awed me is that you take your instrument to musical lands I have never even entertained because I felt my voice didn't fit those genres. The way you have used your instrument to bring music of so many styles to life is inspiring!
Wait a second, I'm not a singer but I found this class very useful for me, I'm one of those that when speak it sounds very slow 😔 like I try to speak louder but still too slow it seems, maybe it's the way I take breath before speaking... The "yeah" part will help me a lot. Really appreciate your videos.
Hi Floor, I love your Master Classes… Jor explaining of what You are doing is so great! That’s really important for me, because I’m blind and I have to use my ears to get through all those excercises. Booth Music is the Air to breath, the water to drink and the food to eat for my soul!
I think having some vocal lessons with a coach is necessary to understand what Floor is talking about here, but these exercises are fantastic! I'm glad you pointed out the necessity of having enough twang... Also the feeling of biting into an apple is seriously helping me! I don't take weekly lessons, I only take them when I'm able to afford them, but this is seriously helping me build on the knowledge I already have so thank you Floor 😭
We're all warmed up...with no where to go lol. Damn...towards the end, I thought for sure the glass was gonna crack on all those pics & records on the wall, and I'm sure that was only about 15% of your full power. A full out Fus Ro Dah from you could reverse the earth's spin, of that I'm sure haha. \m/
De ontdekking van 2019 En nu prachtig om te zien dat je doet waar je hart naar uitgaat Niet naast je schoenen en niet commercieel De hele wereld houdt van je
I've watched so many singing tutorials, and finally I've found this wonderful lesson from the great Floor Jansen 😊 This vídeo helped me to clear my throat, to activate my muscles (even to identify them), and to project my voice 😍 It's really easy to understand everything you say while practicing, there are so many things to be aware of, all happening at once, but I wasn't aware about everything. I really appreciate it! 💖 Thank you very much! 🌸 I'm eagerly waiting for the lesson #5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I have to admit, you got me thinking. I do a lot of open mics, and I REALLY should warm-up at home. Many times, I have been up, and my throat wasn't ready for a particular song and it showed. REALLY bad. Now I warm up in the car if I forget.
Floor, thank you very much! It is good we are all gathering at least on UA-cam during hard times like this. It gives is a chance to know a lot of usefull things like you showed us! 😚
All this series Is Amazing, but I loved the advice about not taking in a lot of air for a Better twang... It immediately worked ! Thank you thank you thank you!! (And... My neighbours did not complain yet, so... 😂)
I remember trying to sing the high notes of Kamelot’s Elizabeth and practicing it at work everyday. Then one day, I woke up not only able to reach that note, but also almost sing Rhapsody of Fire’s The Legend Goes On perfectly
I don't think anyone could ask for a better teacher. I've been singing most of my life, but never properly. Thank you, Floor. This is fun and relaxing. We are warm. Merry Christmas or Solstice
A wonderful hour again, thank you for the lesson. It seems that the same rules as for singing apply to reading aloud. Working with the breath, jaws ... on Thursday I read my poems at the Napajedla castle, I worked with the jaw and the breath according to your advice, yes, it works....it works, you helped me a lot, thanks Floor! :)
I close my eyes and hear a part of the world's population participating with me in Floor's singing lessons. Hopefully later when I open my eyes again, even the whole world. Stay at home if you can, so that the pressure on the medical system and medical staff is limited, and practice with Floor so that everyone can enjoy performances by artists again next year. Something completely different. Has that old "Burner / Paint Stripper / Torch" in the lower right corner been adapted to a lamp?
Mrs. Jansen, it has been an amazing pleasure ever since I've first got to know you singing for Nightwish. It really is a jaw dropping experience. Now watching and practicing your singing lessons makes everything even greater. Thank you so very much for you amazing talent and for taking your time to share you knowledge with others like minded. I am a singer/guitar player here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Greetings to you and your family. Have a wonderful Christmas. Peace, love and harmony. Please, kindly, keep it coming.
one of my biggest problems to reach out the high notes was that i took a lot of air before singing them, and this video helped me to realize that i don't need to much air, but support! dankjewel to the real queen of The Netherlands
Ty for the master classes Floor. Even though I’m not a singer but an instrumentalist. If I work with a singer, I would be able to better communicate in a singer’s language.
Floor, I hope you are well! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I am hoping you can post a cover of one of six epic songs: "Roads to Madness" by Queensryche, "Take Hold of the Flame" by Queensryche, "Queen of the Reich" by Queensryche, "Fata Morgana" by Fates Warning," "Guardian" by Fates Warning, or "Eternal World" by Crimson Glory. Your voice and interpretation would bring great power and talent to revitalize any one of those progressive metal classics. That would be the best Christmas present! Thanks for considering. :)
Love this it is great to see how other singers warm up. Floor you are such an inspiration! i'd love if you could do a vid on how you approach songwriting?
I am no ways a singer nor wish to be but I do enjoy watching you show your exercises and techniques. I love learning about things I have no connection to. Btw, the "twang" just got me, being from Texas. That was interesting to learn! Be well, Floor, and carry on!
ive been playing guitar and singing for 47 yrs,,,,,,i sing rather decent.......ive never had vocal lessons though and this is helping me alot to relax and get some better technique .....ty so much Floor......love you
Since we all hopefully keep doing her exercises - Floor, can you break down " ghost love score " and teach about it? Thank you so much. You're an awesome vocalist and performer. 😊🤘
This will definitely become one of the biggest UA-cam learning hits. Great pedagogy and didactics! Best Christmas present EVER! - Thank you, Floor! Vrolijk Kerstfeest/God Jul/Hyvää Joulua! :-)
My little kitten has joined us, but how have you been doing so far? Hope you like this episode!
Not singing, but have been teaching myself drumming 🥁 this past year. Super fun!
Love the blurred kitten at the end😆
I don' t have that much time right now, but I am practising your exercises and tipps before bed. My puppy likes to cuddle with me before bed and he doesn't seem to hate my breathing and singing practise...so I guess that is not bad🐕🦺
Oh and bought a ticket to the Nightwish virtual concert, great to have this to look forward to!! 🤟🏻
Ahhh! We are fighting through quarantine, but we are very happy to see you again!! ❤❤
What an extraordinary awakening and the first thing my eyes see are the notifications of a new video of yours! beautiful floor a hug from Mexico city
"Everybody's built differently. It's not a contest". I feel like more people should remember this. And not just with singing
Yeah I think a lot of people just listen to one expert rather than a lot. They can then work out whats best for them.
Yessss!? Thank you! 👌🏻🤟🏻
yes n i love your profile picture. That hair 🤣🤣
Yes! You're right!
Ma famous girl looks so bored🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure in twenty years or so a worldfamous artist is going to answer the question in an interview "How did you become a singer?" with "Well, as a kid i found the masterclasses of Floor Jansen on youtube and the rest is history."
I've been actually doing them since she uploaded the video and they really help 👍🏻
@@carliiuxiiz Same. This has become my daily exercise.
Floor is getting more and more confident talking to the camera, which is great since she is using youtube as a way to escape and talk to us more. Thank you Floor!
Was so nice of your cat to help you with this episode. Hope you two can ''collaborate'' again sometime
catlaborate?
@@horscategorie luvely
I don't know anyone who would put as much effort for their fans as Floor does. A lot of thanks and respect!
I remember all of those exercises from my singing lessons, they really helped me progress! Looks like I had a great teacher if you are recommending the same things
That's awesome!
I felt the same. And it’s great to see that some warm up techniques haven’t changed over the years!
Thank you Floor for this lesson! 🙏
@@FloorJansenOfficial Hi Floor, remember the little girl who you waved to in 2017? Suprise! Its me 😀
Floor warming our hearts
As a classical music student who knows a lot of classical singers it's very interesting to see how much your vocal techniques and warmups are related to the stuff I hear them do. I expected it would have a lot more in common with what the jazz/pop department singers do, but actually it's closer to classical. Very cool!
Do you also know of Dimash?
Have you even heard Nightwish?
Hi Floor. I remember, some years ago, in your previous website, I saw that you offered singing lessons, but I never could afford it. So, this is a special gift to me, and for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing this. I admire so much 🖤✨.
I've learned more from you in 3 videos than in 1 1/2 years singing lessons in real life...
Omg first UA-cam vocal coach Who can sing 🙂
There are many great professional vocal coach reactors, who can sing very, very good. You just need to find them ;-)
Yeah - i'm very sceptical on some of the "how tos" on youtube, esp the DIY ones
that's unfair.
@@T1hitsTheHighestNote Well professionals (such as floor) id trust, but when I wrote it I was thinking more of DIY stuff.
Some of the IT stuff can be pretty ropey too
There are actually a couple more 😜
Hi Floor I love that u are getting more comfortable in front of the Camera. Love you
“NO you can’t just give free Vocal MasterClass Lessons!!!”
*Haha Floor go BRRRR* 8:14
ahaha, well it's somewhat true, Floor is just giving some insights, but as she said already you do need someone to look over you while you do exercises and correct mistakes. Then you will probably need someone else to correct the mistakes that first one allowed (or taught) you to do.
@@erggish and yet, you can watch her videos for free... so its not “somewhat true”
@@LeglessWonder Well she is not actually teaching you. She can't personalize any way of teaching on you.
@@erggish who said anything about personalizing? She is posting free informative videos that you are butthurt about, thats it
Seen many comments from ppl about Floor that they would watch her singing from the phone book. This is so much better than the phone book!!! 😂😂😂
Thank You Floor! Queen! ❤
Even the real father christmas is here because of Floor❄☃️❄
@@cookiemonster938 Just on point. See You next week. Hopes! 🎅
Not the real one, because there is no cap between joulu and pukki its joulupukki😁
@@replay759 Hsssssssh. Don't Blow Up my cover...😁
Hohoho! ⛄🎅
My jaw so relaxed that it hit the floor...
I'm not a singer but this is very interesting to watch and listen to. Very calming too.
It really is calming!
Me: *takes a sip of wine at **8:05*
Floor: lip-fluttering mucus-clearing range exercise 8:12-8:20
Me: 8:12-*8:20 snorting red wine out my nose and laughing my ass off :-) Guess my inner child is alive and well!
Floor thank you so much for sharing your masterclasses with us, even those who can't sing but have fun trying! Be well!
Really enjoying these master classes and all the other content. Thank you for sharing your experience and wealth of knowledge with us Floor ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
I was able to find the option of subtitles in Spanish and now I feel completely happy. I don't think I would have imagined having a vocal coach like you in my life. completely grateful for these incredible things that you are giving us.
Floor, IMHO your lower register is just as impressive as you upper. You have such a rich, well-rounded voice. I’m not a singer but these master classes are enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Yeah- classical excercises 🤘I did them for years, but my teacher NEVER explained the stuff behind the scenes (breathing, muscles etc) like you🥰😘🤗
I love the Dutch accent. Sounds like a butterfly idk why 🤩💞
We need that special guest in every episodes from now on!
I loved this and my neighbours sure loved it too, hearing me do this warmup on Christmas hahaha ♥
Julia Nilon just got finished reacting to your "Yours is an Empty Hope" live at Wembley, just a few minutes ago. Worth a look! 😁
Just came from there
@@oliverdonder7616 Me too
Julia, Chase, and Tank, the Trinity of Reactors
@@StergiosMekras Elizabeth Zharoff from The Charismatic Voice is great too, but she does not do Nightwish anymore. :(
@@zvolencan1 really? As a decision she made or something you noticed but she might still?
Your exercises are wonderfully helpful. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!

It's the first time that I find fascinating even listening to the warm up of a singer 🤩 thank you!
omg!!! she's been doing voice classes? MY GODDESS IS DOING VOICE CLASSES?!?! ♥♥♥
Wow 😳 I haven’t practiced warmups in about 20 years.
I remember doing the E-Eh-Ah-Oh-Oo.
I’ve never done it this way with the mmm, nnn, yeeeahh. It was *SUPER* 🤩 FUN!
I also realized how much I missed singing. Thank you!
How wonderful. I enjoy her masterclasses so much even not knowing how to sing💖

Thanks a lot for explaining in details and also in an Inspiring manner!!! Love from Bangladesh!!!!
As an American, I can confirm the "MEEAH I WANNA HAMBURGER" 😂 I have said that many of times😂
Queen..breaking the walls with her voice...ty for video !
Of course, when you sing "meow", a cat might listen and appear. Very nice masterclass! Thanks, Floor 😘
beautiful voice. you have a unique vocal timbre .😉🎸🤘
Thankyou for the 3rd Masterclass! There is a group of us on discord watching this together & following along! Thankyou!
Wait a second, I'm not a singer but I found this class very useful for me, I'm one of those that when speak it sounds very slow 😔 like I try to speak louder but still too slow it seems, maybe it's the way I take breath before speaking... The "yeah" part will help me a lot.

Vocal techniques work for speaking as well, not just singing.

This is really cool free lessons from the best vocalist to exist in the known universe. I love this woman.

I don't even sing, but man do I enjoy watching these!
Doing vocal exercises with Floor, a dream come true!!
