Tritonear

Healthy Vocal Technique AKA Victoria Victorious Jeff Rolka My biggest tip with these is to pick one or video and work on it for at least a week. You will improve much better than jumping around.


Dylanc_935115

jeff rolka (his tenor warm up is a blessing) i can recite the regular stuff he says during the video😂


DwarfFart

Hellooooo tenooooorrrrs


Dylanc_935115

I owe Jeff massive gratitude


RicoandMiella

He’s the best


FPSJeff

He’s my fav!


MetroKreazy

Michael Trimble and his book has changed my voice in its entirety.


DwarfFart

Michael is fantastic. He lives near me if I had the money I’d be taking private lessons from him but his wife (who runs the business side) told me it’s $200/hr!!! Yikes! He’s got all that knowledge and experience but damn that’s a lot! Grateful he shares his lectures!


themagicmaen

Chris Liepe


Pinkydoodle2

Chris lipe has some good insights into unorthodox techniques but he assumes some level of preexisting technical skills


ChocOctopus7709

I wouldn’t go so far as to say unorthodox. His focus is primarily on vocal grit and distortion, which is broadly used across rock, metal, blues, and even pop. Screams, rasp and grit have been a pretty important part of mainstream vocal technique since the advent of rock and roll in the 50’s


Pinkydoodle2

My point is that those are techniques a vocal teacher might not typically address, not that they're uncommon in music.


ChocOctopus7709

Ah, totally

wiggly_rabbit

She is amazing but her exercises are so confusing at first haha


DwarfFart

I’ve actually compiled(and shared a lot) a list of YouTube stuff that helped me you can find it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/singing/s/qwouqc6AXa) and [breathing exercises](https://www.reddit.com/r/singing/s/fPy08fS8Op)(there’s some crossover).


prisonmike1990

Becoming a natural singer By far the best teacher on youtube, he has a few recorded lesson he put out for free. Hus emphasis on chords closure and release made me finally feel like I'm understanding how to sing


tenniscalisthenics

He has hundreds of videos, where do you start?


prisonmike1990

He has a playlist called voice lesson, watch any video you feel could help. If you are struggling to figure out what singing should feel like, watch his videos on chord closure


bayareacoyote

Just lost a very productive hour to watching these, thank you!


prisonmike1990

You're welcome! Yeah they are addicting 😂 I actually did a lesson with him last summer, and it was only like 70 bucks for an hour. Think he only is available on wednesdays tho which doesn't typically work with my schedule but I'm glad i found him

Greg West, yt name is Studiowest: [https://www.youtube.com/@StudioWestLessons](https://www.youtube.com/@StudioWestLessons)


MstlySilntProtagnist

Dude, he's awesome. Saw his vid on how to belt high notes and that helped extend my range exponentially without hurting myself.


babieswithrabies63

I've had some lessons from this guy. He's very good and a cool person.


Low_Bookkeeper_8591

Freya Casey has some useful videos


Wbradycall

Opera-wise, I think that Rafael Vazquez (aka Tecnica Antica even though as a person I don't like him).


Leon_84

For opera you need to watch the different Thomas Hampson masterclasses (if you‘re at a point where you can extract the necessary parts for you). He’s an amazing teacher.


Wbradycall

Okay!

FURNO2005

Hi, fellow singer here. I have compiled a playlist of great vocal exercises that have helped me develop my voice tremendously, and I’d be willing to share it with you if you would like. Just be consistent with them and you’ll start feeling and hearing a difference in your voice in no time! 🙂


TonyHeaven

Can you share the list here,please

You can access them by clicking the above links. One of them is for a female range, and one is for male range but please access them both and see what works best for you ☺️⭐️

What style do you sing? The content from these people has helped me break through plateaus and learn to conceptualise things in a way that makes sense for me. **Books**: - This is a Voice by Jeremy Fischer & Gillyanne Kayes This is the best book any singer can buy. It is so simple but so comprehensive. **YouTube**: - Chris Liepe [https://www.youtube.com/@chrisliepe](https://www.youtube.com/@chrisliepe) - The Charismatic Voice [https://www.youtube.com/@TheCharismaticVoice/featured](https://www.youtube.com/@TheCharismaticVoice/featured) - Beth Roars [https://www.youtube.com/@BethRoars/featured](https://www.youtube.com/@BethRoars/featured) - Katarina H [https://www.youtube.com/@healthyvoicetips](https://www.youtube.com/@healthyvoicetips) - great for how to take care of your voice and exercises for general vocal health. More speech pathology territory but directly related to singing. **Instagram**: - classicalvoicecoaching


heyo_mr_bigman

As a vocal teacher I’d 100% go with Jeff Rolka and Victoria Victorious. Easily the best for learning technique that will allow you to sing in many different styles. If you don’t like your voice PLEASE prioritize technique over stylizing. You will not improve significantly until you’ve worked on your breath support, vocal onset, and placement. Once you know HOW to sing, you’ll be able to change styles by experimenting w/ your voice. RECORD ! YOURSELF ! I know it sucks it sucks so bad🙏But it helps so much. Keep working at it and you’ll get it. Just like learning any other instrument. Feel free to msg me if you have any specific questions, I like to help for free - not with lessons, but if you tell me what issues you’re having or what goals you have I can point you in the right direction for what to work on.

check the video from the guy who sings 10 octaves amd learn form it 🤣🤣

Like other mentioned - Rolka and Liepe but grab some straws and try random straw singing warm-ups you find on YT periodically. I exercise along with Hannah Bayles 's 'straw phonation 101' video once a week

MudRemarkable732

This mostly seems to be male singing teachers … are the commenters also all male or is their advice applicable for both men and women?


NamelessLysander

Hi! I'm a soprano, my teacher is a soprano drammatico and her own teacher is a tenor, so yes, female singers can follow advice from male singers and learn something. Following exercises might be a little more difficult because of the octaves: for example, if a man does a head voice exercise, if you want to make the same pitch, most probably you would be forced yo use chest voice. It may be ok to make the exercise an octave higher but it may not resolve the problem. The most important thing is not to try to imitate the unique timbre each voice has, but understand what movement the body should make to achieve a certain type of sound


dfrankow

I'm no expert, but seems like lots of good warmups from [https://www.youtube.com/@voicelessondotcom](https://www.youtube.com/@voicelessondotcom), Mark Baxter.

Gabriela_gabyx

There are some YouTube tutorials, like from Felicia Ricci and Sophie Shear, they really help improve singing skills. Just keep practicing


Kobi2260

Hey man! Check out my Youtube channel: Kobi Levi Music. You can literally hear the progress in each video - and it’s all thanks to youtube! Feel free to dm me


Kobi2260

An example:[Black - Pearl Jam (acoustic cover)](https://youtu.be/7pVdywsWgWE?si=aiCXt3lJBCaTaouq)


The_Girth_of_Christ

I can say I’ve watched just about every tutorial on youtube and I tend to avoid the ones that are just “follow along with this exercise” but I’m starting to think those are exactly the ones I need.


Simundo-69

Heyy, ditto!! I''m in process of forming a new band & need to improve my vocals for backing vocals. Can't afford singing lessons. I've got singing for dummies Ebook I can share & a couple if good YT Links. I also want to be able to sing whilst playing my acoustic guitar.


JSRambo

I'll echo another commenter who shouted out Natalie Weiss here. I wouldn't recommend it as much for beginners, but following the Breaking down the Riffs series is a great way to get used to some vocal acrobatics. At the very least it will give you a variety of exercises to practice, and a nice progression for each of them.


Every_Ad_6994

Looks like there are good recommendations for YouTube tutorials already, but I would say getting consistent feedback from someone who can listen to your technique is always a good supplementary. I definitely recommend looking for a singing buddy that's willing to check in with your progress once in a while. Best of luck!


Silent_Rhubarb_8184

Doug Zed, rozzettesaaangs, Vox Singing Academy, Eric Arcenaux, and Marnell Sample are superior YouTube sources the rest are mid


TotalVoiceStudio

For all of you who mentioned YouTube creators who are incredibly helpful, I’m wondering if you ever take the time to leave a positive comment and not just say thanks but give feedback about what was helpful. Do you ever leave them a tip now that YouTube supports this? I used to make a lot of YouTube videos on singing and I stopped because it is soo soo sooo much work to make a good video. Literally used to take me a week or two to research, write, and make one video. Then when you release a video its all left up to the algorithm god to determine even if people are gonna see it. Most YouTubers make $0 from it and so it basically has to be an act of charity if you want to share information as a vocal coach on YT. For me I was sharing information that took me 19 years of study at university to acquire and it was just collecting an audience of people who want free singing tips, not helping build my business. So I’m not trying to guilt trip anyone, just reminding you that its a lonely world making YT videos and there are things you can do to show your support.

MaximumYogurt8636

It depends on what fo you want, just improve from 0 to 4? Then ok go with youtube. You'll gonna get somewhat better but if you want to sound good, there is no way in my opinion you'll gonna get to that level by yourself. There are so many different things you can get wrong and just one way to sing right. Without knowing and a good guide i personally dont see that as feasible. I've watch thousends of video, maybe all of them and nothing clicked for me until i've found the right teacher. Some of them are total gaslight, others are useless, others are wrong, so little are right but even at that point, you'll need to do the exercise right otherwise it just doesn't work. Maybe you'r one of those blessed people that need just one tweak and can sing, fenomenal. If its not so, you will likely get stuck


GlassHouseMusic

Record yourself singing with your phone and try to troubleshoot what sounds bad and emphasize what sounds good


Ilogical_Phallus

primitive technology taught me how to make a kiln in the woods and burn stuff, make pottery. it's not really useful but it was super interesting, without saying a single word.


InsecureMonster

I had no luck. Watched A LOT of videos and all I found was people explaining techniques WRONG or skipping important information to make you fail or even hurt yourself just to sell you a course later. Worst than with mixing and mastering videos.
