hey Chris Liepe here with a quick warm-up I do every day that helps
me warm up my high notes and it always works I've done lots of warm-ups that
work against me getting my high notes for the day but this one never fails me
everybody can do the process behind why it works and if you don't get this
thought process and adopt the mindset behind it it won't work for you so this
is more important even than the notes or the or what you're doing I'm gonna start
on a simple C tonal Center and the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go
into my head voice I'm going to work on good chord closure with my head voice that's not
how raspy that is that's not good chord closure I want a bellish head voice sound
you should be able to even without being warmed up find your head voice
it may not be quite as bellish and the closure may not be quite as good as you'd like it to
be but part of that is this warming up process don't worry about your chest
voice at all right now we're starting in our head voice and there's good reason for it oh
I'm playing with my vocal apparatus so that I can get the best bellish chord closed sound out of it
moving my tongue moving my jaw larynx up and down find
that sweet spot okay it may be a c for me it's a c
for you it might be something different and notice we're also starting on an open vowel oh naughty
once you feel like you've gotten good cord closure in your head voice
let's use this descending line and it's a strategic descending line
I'm very open my larynx has dropped oh one more time
oh
my God what this is allowing me to do is start with a relatively high note in my range in head
voice and ease into my chest voice okay I'm going to expose my break now as I do this
warm-up I'm going to go back and forth between exposing my break so you can hear when I'm in
chest and when I'm in head and you can also hear when I'm sort of blending the two blue
oh
there's a break
but I'm gonna what I'm gonna do is I'm Gonna Change around where I enter my
chest voice all the while being light and head voicey in those higher notes
there was only one chest voice note there I'm continuing to warm up the
head voice and seeing how low I can get in my head voice before I need to switch in
my chest voice sometimes I make it a clean break sometimes I blend it
ah there I blended
there I added a little bit more chest voice now as I warm up and as I do this over and
over and over again I'm going to start easing into my chest voice higher in The Descent
this is going to from the very beginning this is why I said the thought process is important
I am already starting high so I'm telling myself I don't need to reach for any of these notes I'm
already able to hit these notes I'm hitting them in my pure good chord closure head voice
as I insert or replace certain head voice notes with chest or with mix I've done lots of videos
on mixed voice be sure to check those out if you haven't seen them as I replace certain notes
I'm able to maintain good support good technique and not reach for those notes because I'm already
hitting them I'm warming up my mind just as much as I am as I am my voice here's how that looks
foreign
sometimes I don't break playing with both is super important for
this exercise as well because you don't want to shy away if you do one versus be
all proud of yourself if you do the other both are good and both are useful hello
foreign
there I went from chest voice to head voice on that last note
like that and even on top I went oh see I started in head voice and then went into my mixed voice
broke into head voice
I'm testing all sorts of different combinations all sorts of different
approaches as I'm letting my voice ease into those higher notes notice I'm never going
I'm never reaching for that note I start with my head voice
oh my court closure was a little weird there at the end it's because I was running out of
breath so identify why maybe your chord closure may not be what it needs to be
is it because you're not supporting well enough that was certainly the case there
this is the warm-up that I do nearly every day to ease into singing high and it works every
single time and the reason it works is because it trains me and retrains me not to reach for those
high notes but to get them acceptably in a pure head voice and then work my other techniques in
