    Hi,

    I cannot do the lip trill and therefore I am stuck at the very first exercise, which is very frustrating :(

    Do make my lips trill I need lots of air and thus I believe this exercise is not helping me at all. Do you have some suggestions?

    I don't know if this was already addressed in the forum but without a search feature it is very time consuming to navigate through the questions.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Hugo,

    Lip trills can be tricky! Remember to keep your lips relaxed. This warmup exercise is about staying loose and getting air flowing. You don't want to be blowing hard or straining your throat.

    Not sure if you've seen this video, but it goes into more depth regarding the lip trill warmups:

    Straw singing is a great replacement for lip trills!
