Voice felt pretty good this morning; yesterday was a really good singing day for me, so that carried over to today. Woke up pretty early this morning for class, and didn't get much sleep last night (~5 hours).
- Listen to Lesson 7/18/16
- Things to help loosen my ribcage really helped--stretching from side to side with arms overhead before onset, as well as leaning against the wall (looking at the floor), which helps to release my lower back (which has been really really tight this week).
- Watch that you don't de-nasalize.
- Molar space/release
- Focus on what is good and think "like that"
- Focus breath away from the folds; breathe on the bottom, pitch on the top
- Start light and allow heavy to enter as you descend. Helps to align the voice a little better than just punching it.
- "Sing-ing-e" 1 3 5-4321.
- When you get "close, but not quite," think EVEN HIGHER/back.
I spent about ~55 minutes aligning my voice today (I liked how Cindy said that there is a difference between warming the voice and aligning the voice, so I'm going to start calling my vocalization alignment). It took a little longer, but my voice feels more flexible than it has been for a while.
