Relaxation of Vocal Mechanism

This weeks focus is on relaxing your vocal mechanism.

Why?

1) Any tension within the vocal mechanism will distort the voice and rob the resonance.

2) Absence of tension frees the vocal chords so they will vibrate naturally.

How?

1) Open and relax your throat (when you yawn feel your larynx drop open and your throat open)

2) Loosen your Jaw (lift your palate with the "inside smile". That will trigger a loosened jaw)

Note: I want you to imagine a "C" inside your nasal and oral cavities. The larynx needs to be dropped to the lower curve and the palate needs to be lifted to the upper curve of the C. That will give you plenty of space for the sound to resound. Don't forget to keep good air pressure with your breath support. Keep applying proper posture and breathing to a relaxed throat and jaw.

This week I want 7 minutes of yawn sighs and sirens. I also need you focus on the warm ups "Ahhhh, Noah, va-ve-va, beautiful moon, and it is easy".
