There's still some edginess in my voice, but since I've released my jaw a little more and am focusing on balancing the whole body (no localized effort), it's gotten a bit better.
- consistent/generous airflow, but no punting.
- Think of the mouth as not in any specific shape; it's just there.
- I have a tendency to "overcharge" with my air; so try singing at a random point in the breath gesture. Or blow a puff out before singing.
- THINK before you sing.
My warm up felt better today, but when I went to go and sing, my old habits started punching me figuratively in the throat. Everything still feels really effortful and "punchy" and edgy. The sound seems strident to me, and it's really obnoxious. Towards the end of my practice, I thought to sing with just the "edges of my folds" to maybe release some excess squeezing (from being to forceful with bringing my folds together). However, by the time I thought of this, it was time to give the poor voice a rest. I'm trying to experiment with different approaches, but I still get fatigued. I feel like I've taken several steps back in terms of my progress.....
