Notsosuperhero Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I just got Ken Tamplin DVDs, I'm going through volume 1 now, I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks(which has already benefited me) but I'm a little confused on the vowel modifications, or more specifically on a long I, since he says that the only exception is Oo and Ee, but no mention of I. Do you modify it like Ah, or Ee, or what? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoHere Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 a long "i" ? as in "private"? that's a dipthong of "ah" and "ee." was that even mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notsosuperhero Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yes, as in private. Just realized I made a typo in the title(should have been "long I") I don't believe it was mentioned at least in the 1st volume, but after watching it and realizing that it wasn't covered it got me wondering. That's the reason it is confusing me, because its seems like a mix of ah and ee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason it is confusing me, because its seems like a mix of ah and ee. that's what i was saying..it's a dipthong, a sound consisting of two vowels in one syllable. in this case "i" is composed of "ah" and "ee." when you sing words like "my", "cry", "mine", "time", "bye", you're singing "ah" and "ee" but you will place more emphasis on the "ah" vowel rather than the "ee." the "ah" is an open vowel which helps keep the breath flowing and the throat open, where the "ee" is a closed vowel. hope i've helped.

zedbo Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Guys, if there was one resource you reckon is the most effective for vocal modification - which one would it be ? Zed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedbo Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
