Eric explains the use of lip rolls, a common and important exercise, to help coordinate the vocal cords with the diaphragm. By using lip rolls you can reduce tension, warm up and strengthen the upper register, and reduce muscle fatigue. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click

Jesse is part of Brett Manning's Singing Success program and here he has you place your hand gently on your larynx to feel if it raises or lowers as you go higher or lower on a soft hum. He talks doing this at a very low volume to take the weight out of the voice as you go higher and lower to naturally stretch your voice as your larynx remains in one place.

Sophie explains in a very interesting way how to access the middle range between your upper chest and your head voice by way of the pharynx. She takes you through an exercise using "wah" and getting thinner and "baby-like" as you go higher. Then you can apply this "wah" to a song the may be too high for you until you're able to perform it using the correct lyrics. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click

Ken shows how easy you can access your range higher and higher as you use an "eee" vowel with a slight modification to "eh" as you go higher. You perform the exercise softly as you get used to it. You stretch the voice gently using a slide at first and then moving to a scale or arpeggio. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click

Amy demonstrates beautifully the difference in sound when you use too much weight in the voice as you go higher. When you reach the top of your comfortable chest voice singing with too much power you have no choice but to flip into falsetto, otherwise your voice will crack. When you lighten more and more as you go higher, you don't lose any power and you can sing higher and eventually transition easier into your head voice.

In this quick video Ian explains how using the word "mum" you can lightly and playfully explore your range. He talks about your range is already there and waiting to be discovered. This includes the upper and lower range. An interesting concept. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click

In this video Roger takes a student through a lip trill exercise. He talks about visualizing the cords thinning in a forward motion as you go higher instead of thinking you're going up or down. This helps the singer to create a more consistent sound coming from the same place throughout the range. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click

Kerri talks here about the art of singing in your lower register. She demonstrates three different ways to sing the beginning of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy". She does it in a breathy unsupported way, in a heavy forced thicker way, and then finally in a supported and focused resonant way. She then leads you through a descending exercise on an "mmm" and "oooh" to bring the resonance down into your lower range. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click

Kevin humorously demonstrates the difference between singing low in a swallowed constricted way and singing low with a focused tone. It's much more resonant and clear when the larynx stays in place and the cord closure and breath pressure are more coordinated. To subscribe, 'like', or comment on the original video click
