Last night and this morning I was plagued by some really bad allergies; plugged/runny nose, sneezing, the works.
This morning was I really determined to take things easy, since I've been noticing that I can rush through the early stages of vocalization, particularly starting out in a place of ease. I fell into the routine of what I normally do when I'm at school, and who would have thought that my singing would get better [insert heavy sarcasm here].
I spent about 10 minutes just doing lip trills and getting used to my voice in its lower range. Then some nasal to non-nasal exercises (still low in range). I still felt something tightening up in my voice, so I did some panting exercises and really focused on what I liked and making sure to think "like that!" every time.
I worked really hard on not directing anything to "stay." (i.e. stay open, keep chin back, etc.) I thought more about "like that" and keeping things free by comparing the desired behavior to what I was actually doing and trying to get closer every time.
