Summary

Summary

Vocal coach Matt Ramsy shares a challenging vocal warm-up exercise to help singers navigate their passages and bridges effectively. The exercise utilizes a chromatic half-step scale, which requires good ear pitch and being properly warmed up beforehand. Males start around B4 and females begin at E flat or D. Singers should avoid the temptation to transition back into chest voice when coming down from head voice.

Highlights

• Chromatic half-step scale improves passage navigation
• Different starting points for male and female singers
• Avoid transitioning back to chest voice during warm-up
• Emphasize maintaining a steady tone throughout exercise

Key Takeaways

• Practice chromatic scale with „foo“ and „fuy“ sounds
• Focus on maintaining an even, smooth transition between head and chest voice
• Breathe when comfortable while singing the scale
• Keep notes consecutive and avoid abrupt jumps between vocal registers
