Amelia Kearl- Voice lesson

Exercise: oo oh ee aye ah  on the same pitch (probably like a middle c). Goal: make them all sit in the same resonant place. 

This one actually helped me so much while I was practicing! I was able to really find connection to the sound even in my low range.

Only you, lonely you- wants a fuller sound. Operatic almost. 

I felt free but then would squeeze the vibrato out on certain notes to make it strait tone. Probably my tongue is controlling my vowel (especially noticed on "you") the yah sound is tensing the back of my tongue. I'm keeping the oo on the back of the tongue and pushing (don't do that!) shape in the front of the soft palate. My y is taking over my oo. Go right to the vowel. 

Don't let "sight" get to wide.

"Make" the aye vowel is getting dominated by tongue. It is super bright and wide. Go for height of the soft palate. Shape vowel up. Good connection to core but it's almost to much.

Let vibrato come right in, don't force strait tone. 

"Right" pulls horizontal so go total classical. Anytime I go higher than an F I have permission to go fully classical. 

Give more on the onset of "Only". Especially make sure breath is supported.

Watch myself in a mirror! I do so much better when I force myself to watch myself.


All That Matters: Don't make it sound big. Don't loose the focused quality on the low phrase. Shape with soft palate. 

Be careful with vowel "ah" it is losing focus like crazy. Evaluate for pure vowels. I'm definitely changing some in wacky ways. 

Fix phrase "Easier way" experiment with it. Don't scoop on way!!!
