Practice 3/22/17 and Lesson 3/21/17

Voice actually feels pretty decent this morning. Must be the rain.

Warm up: ~10 minutes

  • "nyam" 54321 
    • completely released lips, space between back molars
    • happy quiet ah, but don't try and /make/ your soft palate raise. Just let it be. 
    • feel cool air on hard palate just behind front top teeth
    • feel release in nostrils
  • "ya" 54321 
    • stay in lower range of your voice to get accustomed to complete release
    • light/easy for higher pitches
  • "yes sir" 8531
    • precise/buoyant pitches. Watch that you don't slur. Legato is much simpler than "singing through"
Lesson 3/21/17
  • "v" 1~8~1 
    • siren-like
    • use the pressure created from the semi-occlusion to relieve subglottic pressure
    • wide in back
  • "th---they" 87654321-35-87654321
  • "yes sir" 8531
  • "kitty kitty cat" 54321
    • stay light on the higher pitches, and allow speech-like quality on bottom pitch (not from added breath pressure)
  • [be de be de] 8531
    • completely released back molars
      • you can do happy inhale, but remember to stay released everywhere. Millimeters make a big difference!
  • "nyam" 123454321`
    • use the [n] to find the highness of the tone
  • [fi fe fi fe fi] 564534231
    • don't poop out breath
    • big nostrils
  • "my oh my" 8531
    • child-like
    • buoyant, no slur
