Practice 4/7/16


Still feeling like the root of my tongue is just really heavy, my larynx is jumping all over the place. 
  • Started out with lion breaths. Sigh-like, un-directed pitch gestures. Don't focus on pitch for now. Just make some sound. 
  • I looked back on some of my old notes in my notebook, and I found some things that I liked.
    • Soft back molars and upper soft palate edges 
    • smile on the inside/diagonal smile
    • "top jaw" rests on pitch
    • upper lip flabby
  • Wobble exercises. 
  • Be generous with your airflow
I feel like I can't find the balance between enough closure in my folds and too much pressing. Frankly pretty frustrated. But I'm also very tired again, so my patience level isn't very high. 
  • ****"ning ning" 54321 with very scrunched up face, high cheekbones. Do crazy faces to loosen up.
    • this helped a lot. Something lifted in the back, and my larynx doesn't feel like death on my closed vowels. 
  • Feel like you can do crazy face, even when you're not doing it.
