About Vocal Ease

En route to your concert or public speaking engagement? Ready your best performance in 5 basic steps with VocalEase! A legendary vocal trainer isolated the most essential classical techniques known by professional singers around the globe, into an easy travel exercise you can use in your car, hotel room, just about anywhere!

Don’t leave yourself gasping and straining. Start slowly with our lip trills, mums, and hums. Improve your passaggio on a moments notice, give your audience and yourself the best possible performance, no matter the musical style.

VocalEase media files were produced to be enjoyed using headphones, earbuds, or through a good-quality iPhone-friendly car audio system. This is also why audio volume is adjustable via iPhone’s hardware controls."

Note From Arnold:
This is a vocal warm-up that now you'll always be able to access. It can never replace you teacher, but it will get you ready to work at a moments notice. Use this application for a quick prep in your home or hotel, en route to you job, or back stage before a performance or session.

I've studied for more than 30 years with a good variety of teachers, and I've learned in that time, that if I don't warm up the muscle, I run the risk of hurting it. Just as all athletes warm up before performance, so must singers and public speakers.

The lesson is self-explanatory and over time, just emulating the sounds will get you used to the exercises. Starting slowly with the lip trills, mums, and hums, gently moves air through the vocal folds without pushing too hard in the beginning.

When doing your exercise the most important thing to think about is keeping the soft pallet up, and the larynx (or the Adams apple) down. Keep the feeling of a yawn, or beginning of a sneeze.

Most singers have the greatest challenge mixing head voice and chest without a noticeable change in the sound. This is known as the passaggio, or passage. One should be able to move from chest to head without changing sound quality.

For most of us this is the continued work. The work never ends; we just do our best in the practice.

A solid foundation of classical singing technique helps to build strong breath support and vocal chord health, insuring a long and varied career no matter the musical style.

"Miss your warm up one day and you know it. Miss it 2 days and the band knows it. Miss it 3 day in a row and the audience will know it!"

Well done Arnold, this is the best version so far and surprisingly very close to my first teachers instructions. Since restarting your exercises I've began to remember all the basics my teacher taught me in the beginning. two Thumbs up!

All of the most beneficial vocal warm-ups and drills right on your phone. I also appreciate the commentary, as even professionals have areas that they must work harder to maintain than other areas. Familiar and brilliant.

O70%
by O####:

This has been a paramount app for my vocal performances in the last few years. Very easy to pick a time range of exercises that fits any schedule. I wish I could have the playback toolbar active the whole time (it will disappear after awhile), but other than that I really love the app.

Use it everyday and have seen the difference in gigs when I don't warm up. One gripe, the small talk is really starting to annoy me, it's like groundhog day, "hi Roxy, John's dog" ...please cut this chat out and I'll give it 5.

Y70%
by Y####:

Ok, the good points: good explanations and good exercises. Bad points: same things others have pointed out - endless nattering and no way to stop play until section is complete. Had it only one afternoon and seriously considering dropping it. Will give it a free weeks and see if it grows on me.

Was recommended by a diction professor. For me it was an easy in to singing for someone who has anyways dreamed of singing but felt was always missing adequate training. Even after years in the choir lost in the crowd. Couldn't affordprivate lessons. The intervals are super fun after the warm ups and exercises. Something I never could have done on my own. Thanks so much for this. More please!

I used to do a demanding gig as lead vocalist of Tower Of Power. Now I'm with Average White Band. I use this app before every gig. If you want to maintain your voice this is perfect. And it's much cheaper than seeing a doctor after straining your vocal chords!

X70%
by X####:

This is a great warm up for the midrange voice. I use it regularly and the exercises have smoothed out my passagio. If I use either the warmups or exercises before a rehearsal or performance, I am guaranteed to be in shape to sing when I get there.

Edited again. Permanently UNINSTALLED - since 2 moths ago as still no fix. Tried several un installs - first install plays fine but then will not stop playing until it has gone through each & every lesson in its category - or you manually switch the phone off. but once that stop button dissappears from view there is no retrieving it and you are destined to have to go through each lesson in sequence.

I can't hear the warm ups, exercises, etc. The pitch pipe works so it's not the volume... help!

U70%
by U####:

Interface update is terrific, usable at last on modern devices. Major bug remains, though: if you switch to home screen or to another app, then switch back, the audio player disappears & the ONLY way to pause or stop is to close the app! If you click another warmup, the other one keeps playing so they BOTH play. This is the core function, so not an acceptable bug on a paid app. Please fix?

S70%
by S####:

Does not stop playback after you navigate to another screen or exit the app, which is fine but after exiting the app is not shown as running so you cannot close it. you have to kill the process in system applications manager all apps, which is a pain, or install a process killer app. Good range of exercises, however there is only one vocal range. Being able to select from various vocal ranges would be good. Only 2 stars because of the stop playback issue.

A couple of days ago I couldn't turn the app off without shutting down my phone. I uninstalled and re-install ed the app. Now the progress line at the bottom is there when I need it either to pause or stop. Thanks. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

The update is great. I paid for it before and its now free and even better. Marvellous work. Would appreciate a training plan

E70%
by E####:

The recent update seems to have messed up some of the warm up samples. Entire segments of Goo Go, Gnung, and Aaaah get skipped over. Can you guys fix this please? This is (or was) the best vocal app out there.
