(Earplugs)
- release back soft palate
- everything in front of dimples
- don't force
- start vocalization gently/simple.
- corners of mouth yearn for each other
- "no jaw", but allow to open
- open pharynx --> the breath also doesn't "explode." It is grounded.
- all sound is above the mouth
- watch that chin doesn't get stuck down
- "nyam--ah" 54321-54321
- vowel open on top. not with jaw.
- watch subglottal pressure; feeling of suspension of breath.
- space in BODY, then thread the needle.
- you have to balance generosity of air and too much air
- **No sense of breath "drying out" the folds as you sing; it goes above; the space for higher pitches (all pitches) is above the nose
- don't get lazy as you descend.
- "when I" exercise: allow lips to move from active to inactive.
- onsets will never scoop up (especially with consonants)
- if getting stuck in the throat, think more nasal/in front of dimples.
- **Really monitor back of tongue/roof.
- A-O joint flexibility
- even breath flow
- jaw is very released/open
- Think Nebrebko or Sierra
- watch that back of pharynx is nice and soft.
- still keep in mind "front of dimples."
