Stop voice cracks: Loo Lee Scales

Описание: Trouble with cracking over the break between registers is often the result of pushing up too high in the lower register.

If you’re navigating the break between head and chest voice, this exercise will move you toward a gentle transition while keeping your resonance high and forward.

This exercise uses the natural resonances of the vowels oo and ee to open the pathway between head and chest - adding headiness on the way up with oo and staying forward on the way down with ee.

The lip vowels - oh and oo - encourage palate lift and a heady tone with high resonance, because moving the upper lip into a rounded position gives the palate a gentle tug forward.

The tongue vowels - ee and eh - require an angled position in the tongue, which means your tongue is shaped like a little satellite dish in your mouth, shooting that sound forward - Pew Pew!

To give ourselves the advantage of mask placement throughout, we’ll tap the cheekbones as we go up and down. Staying forward will help to allow the voice to manage its registration with less resistance.


How to do Loo Lee Scales:
1. Find the points on the cheekbones right under the eyes - not way out on the sides. Begin tapping with index fingers on the bones.

2. Sing up an octave scale on Loo. At the top, take a breath.
3. Sing back down the scale on Lee, still tapping.
