Chapter Summary: We need to let our air flow freely. Doing
exercises in the falsetto part of our voice helps us to keep a sense of
free-flowing air. In our falsetto voice, only the skin of our vocal folds are
touching which forces us to keep our breath flowing to keep the sound. Smith
uses the downward sigh to help singers have free-flowing air with a little bit
of vocalization. Smith reminds us
frequently that “it’s not how high that you get that matters—it’s how you get
high.” We need to have “consistent breath flow” and “the sensation of no
resistance” while singing. The exercises in these chapters will allow singers
to expand their range in an easy and correct way.
Key Concept: We need to have free-flowing air while
singing to help us have better resonance and projection.
Key Terms: chiaroscuro, vocalis muscle, falsetto,
free-flowing air
Making Connections: I need to remember that it's more important to sing well than to sing high. I need to work on always getting higher by doing the correct technique and not stretching my voice. I need to work on having consistent breath and not punching high notes.
