Make those vocal folds hang on

📜🎤 SECRETS TO BELTING 🎶🎧 📕🖍🎶 Season 1. Episode 3. MAKE THOSE VOCAL FORDS HANG ON📋🔛 The exercises I use to teach Belting are designed to strongly encourage the vocal folds to participate instead of lightening into a higher vocal register. This means that the Thyrovocalis muscle, or the muscle of the vocal folds, must remain engaged to keep the folds strong as they stretch out to attain higher pitches. My Belting exercises frequently employ three different techniques: ★I use voiced plosives, such as B, D and the G. For these, I would have my student sing syllables such as bib-bib-bib, go-go-go or day-day-day. ★I also use syllables such as ah-mah-mah, and have the singer begin with a balanced glottal attack. ★The third technique is the vocal fry I use the syllables, um-mum-mum that begin with a gentle and thoughtful fry. For all these various syllables, I would usually start off with a descending arpeggio (in A, these notes would be A4, E4, C#4, A3, or scale degrees 8, 5, 3, 1). We sing these exercises first in a comfortable range, then ascend higher. When done correctly, these exercises essentially guarantee that the Belt will happen. This is almost always a huge revelation for singers because they suddenly produce sounds they didn’t know they could achieve, they simply never realized they could control their vocal folds in this way. Yet, while this breakthrough is an amazing feeling for singers, it doesn’t mean that we have completely mastered the skill of Belting. We have merely awoken the muscular action skill at this early stage. For live lessons and interactive class join us on whatsapp via https://chat.whatsapp.com/K4ZqbmJyafn0d4sBLKXZ8r
