lightbluesky Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Ok, so here's the thing.. I know you maybe don't like term Chest voice, but I mean my lower notes. It's about my weak chest voice. I just wonder if there's any good exercise in order to make my chest voice a little bit stronger? One exercise that I used to do is to hum a 5 note scale downwards, like 5-4-3-2-1, and transpose downwards just so it feels comfortable to sing. I start on a G above middle C and slide down. It feels like I start in my Falsetto, and slide into a thicker coordination. Is that exercise good what I do? Or is there any other? Just tried to experiment. I'm ofcourse very thankful if you could share some experience too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we could start this discussion there. To your direct question: yes, there are exercises that you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightbluesky Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hello! I mean, SLS-chest voice low notes below Middle C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hey a good chest voice exercise is take the vowel aah as in "cat" and sing it staccato from middle c down 5 tone scale as low as you can go comfortably. Then once you get it solid do it legato, same scale. Straight from Seth himself hope that helps.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggplantbren Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I find that imitating a man with a low, powerful voice helps. I've been working on my lower range over the last week and it is paying dividends at the higher end too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
