Hello! I've been wondering how to reduce the inconsistency in my singing voice. Sometimes my voice just feels great: My high and low notes are easy, I can sing loud and soft without sounding breathy and my voice doesn't get tired. Although I'm not a big fan of the term "placement", on good vocal days it feels as if my voice was placed higher.
However, usually I have difficulties getting to that state. It's difficult to get proper vocal cord closure, and my voice cracks much more easily. I may not be able to access my head voice at all, and I feel that I sing too "heavy". To improve my voice, I try to breathe low and have a good support, and maintain yawny feeling at throat. I also do warm up excercises, but no matter what I do, the voice doesn't seem to get better.
I know that the inconsistency in singing voice is caused by inconsistence in technique. However, I practise daily, and I go to singing lessons once a week. I somehow believe that this might be a warm up issue. I usually hardly talk at all during the day, and doing vocal excercises feels difficult even in the beginning. It would be great if anyone could give me some tips how to get my voice in shape.
