Full transcript
- 0:00hey guys Roger burly vocal coach here in
- 0:02Hollywood California I am going to give
- 0:05you three tips three exercises that you
- 0:09can use every day to develop an amazing
- 0:14voice and I'm gonna give you the Roger
- 0:16Burnley application to these exercises
- 0:19because some of these you might have
- 0:20done before but you might have done them
- 0:22in a little bit of a different way but
- 0:24I'm going to give you something like
- 0:25feel is much more effective because it
- 0:28gets the results that we want the first
- 0:30one is a lip trill which you probably
- 0:31have done or seen many many people do
- 0:33now understand when I'm saying lip trill
- 0:36I am NOT saying lip bubble because you I
- 0:40see this all the time I've seen so many
- 0:41people on even on TV doing this and I
- 0:44don't want you to do it and it's this
- 0:47now for some people I might have them do
- 0:51that depending on what their voice is
- 0:54been doing you know that might need to
- 0:56correct but for most people no I don't
- 0:58want you to do that because what starts
- 1:00to happen is you will start to
- 1:03inadvertently you won't know that you're
- 1:04doing it but you start to cut yourself
- 1:06off because you're stopping your air and
- 1:08you're falling back in your throat as
- 1:09you're going higher and then you start
- 1:11to push this is why you're having vocal
- 1:14trouble is because you're blocking
- 1:16things and you're starting to push so
- 1:17I'm gonna give you this and I want you
- 1:19to pay attention when I'm doing because
- 1:20I'm starting in what I call a clean way
- 1:23not taking a breath on that first note I
- 1:25know that's crazy but it works not
- 1:27taking a breath on the first note and
- 1:28then thinking down even though I'm
- 1:31hearing the notes go up I'm gonna do a
- 1:36little bit so you can hear it
- 1:39[Music]
- 1:49you may need to push up here so you can
- 1:53find a clean starting place that's what
- 2:07I'm doing there now I'm gonna give you
- 2:09something else with this one because
- 2:10it'll make a big difference you're not
- 2:12gonna do this all at once oh so just so
- 2:15this is actually a little forth tip for
- 2:17you but anyway take this one and I want
- 2:19you to really now here the lower notes
- 2:22and this is takes a little bit of time
- 2:24but it will start to train your body to
- 2:27keep your larynx your voice box more in
- 2:29a stable place so as you're coming down
- 2:33I'm thinking that I'm closing and going
- 2:37up on the lower notes not continually
- 2:39going down to retry to reach him I'm
- 2:44gonna do it on the exercise so hopefully
- 2:45you could hear this
- 2:48[Music]
- 3:02[Applause]
- 3:04now I really have to think about that
- 3:07because my whole problem was always
- 3:09falling back in my throat and and
- 3:11pushing so you may have to really
- 3:13concentrate and give yourself time to
- 3:15get this but I'm telling you over time
- 3:17it'll make a big difference the
- 3:19surprising thing that will happen as you
- 3:20master this you will start to discover
- 3:23that you're able to sing your higher
- 3:25notes a lot easier as well so that's the
- 3:28first thing to do now the next exercise
- 3:31are the third tip that I'm going to give
- 3:33you is getting these swallowing muscles
- 3:35to release or relax a lot more so you're
- 3:38not straining now what you're going to
- 3:40do is this really incredibly ugly
- 3:42exercise and nenene you've probably seen
- 3:44me do it before where you have your
- 3:46thumbs under here Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae
- 3:50Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae that's all
- 3:53you gonna do just just try to get this
- 3:55and again because you've practiced doing
- 3:59closing the lower notes on the lip trill
- 4:01already you will start to feel or hear
- 4:04that you will naturally start to do that
- 4:06on this one as well that's what starts
- 4:08to happen you will develop certain
- 4:10techniques and you will carry it over to
- 4:11other things so you know you'll do that
- 4:13even in songs as well but let me I'm
- 4:15just kind of show you this one
- 4:20neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh Mae Mae Mae
- 4:22Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae Mae
- 4:25Mae
- 4:28[Music]
- 4:29neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh now what I'm
- 4:31doing there intentionally before the
- 4:34higher notes
- 4:34nenene I'm realizing I gotta let go and
- 4:38I want to push you into it
- 4:41neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh-neh I'm letting
- 4:43go and coming down bend my cords are
- 4:45able to come together get a nice clean
- 4:47sound and I'm not wrecking or destroying
- 4:49my voice so you can hear it may may may
- 5:01may may may may may may may may may may
- 5:05may may now as you're going along and
- 5:08you'll go higher and if you start to
- 5:10feel yourself struggling or the muscles
- 5:12come down just stop don't keep going
- 5:14because then you'll start to cause more
- 5:16problems you'll be in reinforcing bad
- 5:19habits which we want to get rid of okay
- 5:20so now the third thing I'm going to give
- 5:22you and this is going to help you in a
- 5:23lot of different ways it's going to help
- 5:25you develop your power your breathing
- 5:28control and all of that so what you're
- 5:30going to think is that every time you're
- 5:32starting to sing I mean give you let's
- 5:35let's make it a little challenging for
- 5:36you I'm gonna give you an a sound I say
- 5:38that it's challenging because that uh-oh
- 5:40you kind of want to do that and fall
- 5:42back in your throat or go out wide as I
- 5:44call it but anyway just understand this
- 5:46is a little more difficult difficult to
- 5:48control this sound but as you master it
- 5:52the other things that you're singing
- 5:54you're going to feel much easier I'll
- 5:55give you some very specifics on this
- 5:56okay let me go to this exercise okay
- 5:59I'll go
- 6:00[Music]
- 6:03ah
- 6:07[Music]
- 6:13now I want you to hear what I'm doing
- 6:15here ah I'm letting go at that highest
- 6:20note let before I get there closing
- 6:23little bit and thinking down ah I'm
- 6:28closing and going down now I'm just kind
- 6:31of exaggerating that I don't want you to
- 6:32sense that but then what's gonna start
- 6:35to happen and you'll get a sense of this
- 6:36you're gonna feel how you now you have
- 6:38much more access to your power as I'm
- 6:41coming down letting go of that highest
- 6:42note and if I'm thinking I'm slightly
- 6:44pushing out in my stomach my diaphragm
- 6:46then I'm gonna maintain a lot more of my
- 6:49air number one but then I'm also gonna
- 6:51feel that I have a lot more power now do
- 6:53not do this if you can't master the idea
- 6:56of pulling down first okay it may take
- 6:58you a while but let me show you what I'm
- 6:59talking about
- 7:00ah ah I'm open
- 7:08ah
- 7:14[Music]
- 7:16Oh
- 7:18now I could keep going and just really
- 7:20blast that out because when I'm thinking
- 7:22I'm not pushing up into it I'm
- 7:24maintaining the access to my airflow and
- 7:27I'm holding it out and having more power
- 7:30because I'm thinking I'm pushing my
- 7:32diaphragm out a tiny bit instead of
- 7:34clenching in and closing off and
- 7:36dispensing all of the air or available
- 7:39air that I could have so again these
- 7:43things if you do them all the time I'm
- 7:45telling you and if you understand them
- 7:47and doing just this way and if you
- 7:48attach the Roger Burnley idea to them
- 7:51you're gonna have a really amazing voice
- 7:54all right I know this helps you a lot
- 7:56and just use it and be diligent with it
- 7:59and look out for the next video all
- 8:01right I'll see you guys soon
