Guest Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What should be my base-vowel that I should first learn how to blend registrations on? Oo, ee, definately not AAH, maybe AY? What vowel did you first learn to activate both the chest & head musculatures on? - JayMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Starr Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 EE I've heard is best for vocal closure, don't quote me. EE and OO are good for hooty head tones. Apparently if you shape the mouth for OO and say EE in a dopey voice this is good for keeping the larynx down and having the sound of curbing. I'd have to upload an audio file. To be honest you've had to vowel modify AH to UH amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoney Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ah for me. I cannot do EE. I have a really hard time with the passagio though. Since you recieved different answers, perhaps just try to figure out which one you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gno Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 "eh" has been identified by teachers as being the easiest. What really helps is to do semi occludes first - lip rolls, "ng" right before the open vowels to set up good technique. These semi occluded's don't require "vowel modification" and create nice back pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I think each voice is different, so a slight shading might be necessary, depending on the person. But eh is a fairly stable vowel to start from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gno Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 One of Robert's students mentioned on this forum that Robert told him that "eh" one of the best if not the easiest to learn passagio. And if you watch Robert's demo video's he uses "Meh" a lot. Also, in the KTVA stage 2 - the octave bridge chest to head exercises are all done with the vowel used in "cat" with is very similar to "eh". Ken uses this vowel a lot too.

Guest Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks Geno, my voice instinctively knows that "eh" and "aaah" are naturally more "blended" then say an EEE or AH! Really good tip, I appreciate it. Now I know what direction I'm headed :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
