    I've watched 2 videos and gained so many tips to help me to improve my singing. I find warming up exercises have stopped hoarseness in my voice and exercises that have helped me to develop pitch and confidence in public. Thanks so much, keep posting

    Thank you so much for doing this. Your videos are so clear and practical! I'm finding the straw exercises especially helpful to relax and focus the top of the voice (I'm learning to sing tenor after 50 years of faking baritone). Also your comment about finding a good posture that works for all parts of the voice helps to avoid digging / pressing the low notes and strangling the high ones.
