Exercises Cindy used during this lesson:
[u o a e i], all each doing 123454321
[i e i e i] 123454321
[ng a ng e ng a ng o] 54321
Take aways:
- the tongue only has one vowel. Every vowel and pitch feel exactly the same to the tongue.
- "More air, less sound"
- Sing generously, as if today is the last day you will be able to sing. Be grateful
- if there is brittleness or rattle in the sound, it's most likely tongue tension. Try incorporate a cat purr intermittently in between vowels in exercises
- Remembering to release breath to the pelvic floor will solve of a lot of mysterious problems.
- Keep generous high space all the way down the descending scale. Low notes need space too.
- Don't try to fit sound into a little space, put it at the top of a huge space.
- DON'T EVER SING SOFT. Soft is not a dynamic, but an attitude.
- Practice listening to the space in between notes. There shouldn't be anything there.
