  • "...cause God forbid... a voice cracks..." lol

  • this was my problem. thank you. once I found out about staccato "mmm" sound scale I could connect everything easy but sometimes it sounded too intentionally pinched/ in the smile. now It's a more natural compressed sound.

  • You're absolutely right. This is absolutely crucial to singing high notes and bridging or blending your passagio. It is helped me expand my range lower and higher, and I've passed through two areas of breaking and now have a full 3 octaves, using the buh exercises. Thanks.

  • oh! this is greeaaaat!

    I just was looking for such kind of idea for my student.

    thank's

  • @BlessixDreamix - Vocal cords coming together is compression. Stretching is when the cords elongate and the pitch goes up. When the cords contract or shorten, the pitch drops.

    The key is to NOT compress the cords using mostly muscle (laryngeal / cord compression) like she demonstrates here but through your breath support (diaphragmatic intercostal) compression. This takes all the weight off the throat and there is no need to narrow through the bridge areas.

  • @thienfoil - Not quite. Compression is the act of the vocal cords coming together. "Adduction" is when the glottis (vocal fold opening) gets smaller and the pitch ascends. Abduction is the when the glottis (vocal folds) shorten and the pitch drops.

  • i can reach higher notes when i'm sick. is this weird? lol

  • This is really good stuff... helped me a lot. A LOT.
