 Better Late than Never Smith Ch. 7-9

Here are some things that stood out to me in these chapters.

Spontaneous combustion has to do with the onset. I found recently that once I am on a note, my voice is very consistent and stays- but I need to make sure I am ON the RIGHT note, not slightly sharp, or slightly flat. An exercise that help with spontaneous combustion is five detached [a]'s. Releases are not cutting off the vocal folds, rather just stopping the phonation while the air flow continues. The wobble helps with flexibility of airflow. It stretches your vocal folds long and thin and then releases them to become short and thick. How to get high but not with drugs? Mix chest and head voice, start low, perfect the techniques with your students before they try them on their own.
