  1. Hello. I thought this was excellent. I thought the emotion really came through in your voice.
  2. ryjcio. I don't think you're a troll, nowehere near. But its not worth getting into an argument here, man. We are all here to learn - regardless of age, experience or how well we speak the Queen's English... Onset to me is simply the way you start your note. Its vitally important because the way you start it will tend to be the way you end it, so if you start badly, it will be difficult to correct it.
  3. For what it is - a bit of Saturday evening fun, its ok, and there is some genuine talent out there...these kids put themselves up for proper ridicule and lets face it thats a lot braver than a lot of us were like at that age.
  4. im putting my faith in loads of slides, as god knows this is an area i need to work on . don't know of any better exercises to help with this....
  5. This is a really good point. For me, the video hit home how important this could be to my technique - but at the same time, I hear singers hitting high notes with oo and ee with no modification at all. So as I understand it, it's about staying away from high oos and ees and using uh, eh and ah. I know there is no better way than constant practical application. But this info is so helpful as a starting point. Z
  6. cheers for the response Owen, I think there is a lot to be said (obviously) for just letting your ears be your guide when possible rather than following rules. But a lot of people on this site have spoken about vowel tables so I don't want to think Im not aware of something important. Zed
  7. Guys, if there was one resource you reckon is the most effective for vocal modification - which one would it be ? Zed
  8. Videohere, that sounds like a great idea (thinking of vowels as simply sounds). Yet when you said "use an "ah" to go up a scale you'll never make it. you must narrow the vowel" I got puzzled. I though Eh, ah and uh were the vowels that you could go up the scale on without it sounding "girly". Other vowel sounds like ee and were impossible to go past a point without sounding "hooty",and when practicing these sounds that seems to be the case for me. Did I misunderstand something here ? If so, please clarify. Thanks, Zed.
  9. thanks Izzle for that response. Regarding onsets, I saw on a video that doing a quick 'gasp' before starting to sing helps to enable a good attack. I've tried it a few times but not sure if it is doing any good or Im just perceiving that it is. I will definitely give that vowels done staccato a try too. Z
  10. what are the best exercises for cord closure ?? is the 'gug' exercise the best one ? Z
  11. Hey guys, if anyone has any tips on how to do lip rolls without using a hand to support the cheeks I'd appreciate hearing them. What is odd is that I find (even when trying to breathe from my diaphragm ) that I can only sustain for a few seconds when I don't hold my face. I'm even trying to hold back on the air as well... Zed
