VideoHere Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Okay, so the point is opened throat, drop the jaw a bit, and place the tone. Then I'll practise the vowels. I realise fully that Cornell has practiced for years, I won't be pushing and will try not to strain, because I developed a liking for my voice, and I don't want to loose it About the breath support - I am doing exercises all the time, making the sound "sss", and checking if my beath is warm(don't try in the morning before brushing the teeth...). The first recording of the song that I uploaded was my 3rd attempt at the song. I have bee practising more the other one "Say hello to heaven", www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFb8nxbmpNY , this is the tenth time I made an attempt at the song. I assume that you are not familiar with Brett M.? i have read in your posts in another thread about the "ng" sirens. So, should I do the sirens always with the "ng" sound, or "mmm" is also okay? I tried with "ng" with opened mouth and tongue on hard palate, when I pinch both my nostrils, the sound stops coming, is this right ? first, your past comment: "A friend of mine has the Brett Mann. program, but I think this guy teaches how to make the head tones more light, obviously not what I am aiming for." yes, ironically this is what you're aiming for initially, not light, but thinner, adducted folds. you can, over time, thicken the sound. i want you to tell me you'll committ to exercising the entire voice. ng closes off the lower port and directs the tone to the nasal area...but the beauty of the exercise is it keeps you from clenching and straining to get yourself aquainted with moving up and down your range with little effort. you don't really have a difficult song...the high head voice chorus is seperated from the lower verses. now about the yawn again, watch cornell...see how he lifts to open up the back of the throat? he is not working hard, but he's got to have his note placement and support spot on. if you drop into the throat, you're done. hear how fluid the voice is? he's maximizing the beauty and vocal continuity of the vowels.

Duchi Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes, I'm promising you, I'll train my whole voice! There was a similar thread about head voice, and you kept telling the guy to train his voice, but he always wanted to concentrate on the high notes and strenghten the head voice, so I guess thats why you keep telling me about the importance of training the WHOLE range, but don't worry, I understand that. When I do exercises I always start from my LOW register and do the scale till where it's comfortable. So if actualy this program it suitable, then I'll start exercising with it. About the song - this would be something like a long term project, I'll not practise it for the next couple of weeks, will concentrate on exercising and then I'll give it a try again Maybe in the meantime I'll post some other songs that I tried. A BIG Thank you for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BIG Thank you for the help! my pleasure duchi, i just don't want to see you develop in a lopsided way. then you have to spend time correcting things. exercise 4-5 days a week, but sure you can try this song as needed. and pick a few other easier too. songs that will round you out and give you some recuperation time. just thinking of cornell (one of my favorites) do a lower one like "black hole sun" as a suggestion? good luck man. you'll get it. oh, sorry, don't have any experience with brett manning, but the important thing is to jump in get started.
