[jeret001]

[Cantonio4]

Denzel Washington..............enough­ said.

[nongget]

[0i0heart0music0]

[Sesshoumaru157]

[clayloverable]

[loonybin007]

This chick is hot. Red is definitely her color.

[loonybin007]

This chick is hot.

[allegromusicinc]

You exercises are solid but you don't understand their proper use vocally. You really need to return to vocal training if you have not already done so. Becoming a singer takes years of training not moments. You demonstrate extreme lack of technique and understanding thereof.

[LiveLoveLaughAns]

I Feel LIGHT HEADED and i have seen all the vids and I have NOT gotten light headed

[babygurl2199]

gosh after doin dis i felt kindof light-headed

[kayembee36]

1. I saw this vid on the side bar and only read "the Motorboat" and couldn't stop laughing. 2. at 2:15 "Pick right back up and keep doing the DEXERCISE!" (:

[ADorkNamedSteph]

@flowergirl1535 If you had been paying more attention, you would have noticed that I was not talking about the lady in the video, but I was replying to someone's comment :)

[flowergirl1535]

I can't do it.....lol

[TheJakeler]

[dyyhard]

Vince Vaughn - Wedding Crashers brought me here.

[mellowrocksinger]

I can't stop laughing!!

[AsianNinjasKickass]

my lips were tickley, kinda itchy doing that! lol x)

[ADorkNamedSteph]

Just a little tip for all the singers on here, don't use use the hh sound when you sing. Like if you sing something like the word away, but you sing haway, don't do that.  Once you get better, you MIGHT be able to do stuff like that. But otherwise, it makes it so that your voice doesn't go forward, and it just kinda stays back a bit. #personalexperiance Good luck guys!!! :D

[voice42]

God bless u million of times, cos u helped me to train my vocal cords, and i ve never saw this here in Brazil, cos ppl here wanna make maney to teach what u r sharing here just cos u love what u do... Be blessed always, and be sure , ill be praying for u every early morning here in ma country. Nothing happens if God doesnt wanna it... He gave u a gift and u r sharing wd us. Be blessed ma dear.

[tashahops99]

When i sing it sounds fine but if i record it i sound a lot higher and terrible. Please reply!! :'(

[ADorkNamedSteph]

@tashahops99 If you sound horrible when recording, it's because you are horrible. I know it sounds cruel, and I'm not putting you down or anything, but it was the same thing with me. I thought it was because my camera doesn't have very good sound quality, but once I kept practicing, I just got better and better. Get a vocal coach if you can. I thought I was a reasonably good singer, but once I got teaching, I was able to do things I only dreamed of. Good luck and God bless hun :)

[flowergirl1535]

@ADorkNamedSteph It sounds cruel because what your saying is cruel. You are putting her down. She is a good singer. She has been doing it for 20 years so you shouldn't be telling her to get a vocal coach. If you are saying your not trying to be mean than why would you say something mean?

[dany56698]

WTF i saw?! ITS AMAZING! Its 2.30 AM and Im laughing my fuckin ass off! Hahah ups, My daddy is coming D: !

[LovelyAliciaRae]

[manifester224]

@sssSaramikeyzzz that means your not using your diaphragm enough, try tightening your stomach when you do it.

[331setsuna]

bahaha she reminds me of a duck :3

[nackidno]

She pushes, you should never need to push the lip rolls. Plus she can't stay on key and she flips. :/

[RayTV100]

Buuut..How long do you have to do this excersise? Or..However you spell it XD

[thetimsalaproject]

i will motorboat you!!

[nlaxaxa]

My monitor needs cleaning after this exercise :-)

[Jeanmarie63126]

Now my lips are numb...lol

[RocktheStageNYC]

Motorboat? Is she kidding me? If you encounter ANY singing teacher who calls liprolls "motorboat" run the other way and get your money back.

Larissa here might be an attractive woman but in terms of voice instruction she leaves a lot to be desired. She's not even doing these correctly. She is using far too much pressure and never explains HOW to do these. Chalk up yet another "expert" on this channel who is far from actually being one.

[YvonneMiko]

thanks... my husband tried it while we were watching and he just spit in my eye... eww lol

[RayTV100]

@YvonneMiko

Hahahaha really?? XDXD

[MrCipres0]

thats funny i love motorboating lol

[crazymelomanka]

oh i love that exercise most of all vocal exercises. :)) it's probably one of the silliest ones, don't let anyone hear it without warning them. :D

[Jediana]

Wow that gave me headache trying to do that. :-(

[rajishprabath]

hi sis those vocal lessons are great and the truth is it actually works.,thanks a lot for sharing.,looking forward for more of your videos

[247hotnerd]

[Azero250]

[Hannahand4everMiley]

This comment goes out to all of the people saying that this is hard to do. I'm not saying it's not hard for me, but it takes a while to get it perfect just like every other warm ups. Trust me I know, i sing and I do all of these warm ups every day before practice.

[ultrafloss492]

I like to motorboat her :P :P :P 

[tephes]

That was.. Like... So weird .__.

[BOBOyummayee]

[Hannahand4everMiley]

I love this exercise! It really warms up my voice! It's really hard to do at first though.

[DemiDemizZ]

haaard:S

[Toxicflu]

Ok, so you've taught the end product, but you're not teaching how to get it done. We're watching this because we don't know how to do it. So help us out here. Any tips on getting our diaphragm to work?

[wov27]

[Rjonis]

It's really great job and can help a lot for any person who wants to sing professionally. Good idea to use caption. I don't care how it works, it gives all information properly, that is most important. Thanks!

[pablost07]

[ConfusifyingCristy]

again its 2.15 in the morning n im doin engine motor boat@ home while my cat watchin.. i feel silly

[Bloodyfleshnbones]

hahah that's funny I'm doing it right now in 2.10 in the morning xD

[annaverbizka]

@Bloodyfleshnbones : hi5! =)

[katielikescake123]

@annaverbizka but is it working?

[bloodofkvasir]

i warmly recommend aniger320's advise, keeping your index fingers on your cheeks, in order to keep relaxed and focused on your tone and jaw, not on the thought "oh my god, i hope i wont disconnect again from the lip rolls!". she is pushing... and that is awful and tiring for the throat.

ps: it is ok to feel ticklish because you 'resonate' ;) its weird at first, but after a while of practice your body will get used to it and learn how to control it.

tip: try to lower your larynx a bit.

[shanere22]

what are we lernin

[PaytonIsCooler]

I can't do that. :/

[aniger320]

a tip for keeping the bubbling is to place your index fingers on each corner of your mouth but don't push down on the corners. and you're supposed to control the breath so you get through the scale

[Saiilatina]

LMAO. love this one

[Zavedi234]

I can't do it....I never did even as a kid...everybody could but me...lol...

[xoamandaGxo]

that makes my nose tickle so badly i cant even finish hahah

[destiniys]

[ijmonmonidiot]

[89alyssia]

hahah my 18month old daughter is laughing at me

[MeXiCaNcHoLiTa2008]

I feel so stupid doing this hahahaha!

[shirshitnitz]

I cannot do this in one full breath. and when I fall out I don't know how to come back in?

[cesd40]

[mklangel]

hahahahahaha

[MolifaTube]

lol! It sounds so funny! I feel a bit stupid! Oh well anything to get better at singing :D

[siri01]

[KailieJ123]

My lips tingle every time, so it also when i talk, it feels funny:)

[xoloveeeeeexo]

[hfield84]

I have to hold my cheeks to do this, Is that as affective?

[missytwo1]

thankyou, even though i do have a cold-and probably shouldn't sing- it sounds like i've improved my really good bad voice, lol

[Lo]
