Practice 8/1/17

Lesson 7/31/17

Voice feels a little abused from oversinging/reflux/allergies?


  • Start with many SOVTE, like lip buzzes, [th] [v] [u]
  • experiment with idea that breath is accelerating; not necessarily more volume. Start normally and allow it to move somewhere.
  • watch that you're allowing the line to FLOW as one, rather than having it fade in/out between pitches. 
  • watch jaw is independent of tongue

  • Watch if sound "moves" in face when descending. 
  • [th] 54321, not "bouncy." Think more legato. 
  • "oy" 54321-123454321
    • don't sing in your space for the vowel. Sing in front of it. 
  • **Use "yodeling" [a u a] 1-8-1 to discover your isolated CT. Good for use above E/F5+
