- Fat tongue/horizontal
- breath equality
- soft molars
I get the feeling of "shallowness" in my sound, and everything feels slightly edgy. However, I'm trying to figure the balance between allowing space and forcing space. I can feel my voice coming from my throat, and my approach from above isn't as good.
1/28/16 Lesson Recording
- Panting exercises!
- Think "light!"
- Allow yourself to soften/lighten as you move from note to note, rather than "full voice."
I looked through some of my old notes in my practice journal, and found = = vs. = / , which was to remind me that, as you ascend, you shouldn't be moving the space up (aka larynx rising), but you should think of it as a long tube in which your sound is filling. The idea of an "anchor" comes to mind, but not pushing down the tongue. That seemed to help a little.
I know I'm not doing something right since my voice is getting tired much faster than expected. For anything above a D5, I feel like there's a lot of sound delay, but it's not due to swelling, as far as I can tell. I probably just need to be more patient for my onsets, but there's something else that I seem to be forgetting, and it feels like it's probably going to be something really basic.....
