This week:
- We vocalized on: humming, lip buzz, me-me, yah-yah, pinnochio.
- We worked on: not trying to make it sound good (trusting the placement instead), singing through our teeth (keeping it forward), talking out our song so that it sounds the same talking and singing, relaxing our chords while warming up and while singing.
*** When we try and manipulate our voice with how we THINK singing should sound it puts our voice in incorrect placements and forces us to work twice as hard to get it to sound the way we want.
Instead we focus on the placement first-- sounding great is eventually a result of correct placement.
Things to remember:
- worry about the placement -- not the sound.
- smile smile smile!! It'll help your pitch and placement.
- sing it through your teeth!
- watch the in between words, making sure our forward placement makes our diagonal straight line vs our curved one that only hits the placement at the end.
