How to extend lower vocal range

[sfpianist]

Everywhere I see people advertising that they can get you to reach higher notes, no one talks about the low range. How can I extend the lower singing range? Special exercises?

Steven gave me some good excersizes to work on the low end. I've been working on low as well as high for a few months now and I'm expanding in both directions. It was helpful for me to learn about CT and TA muscle coordination regarding the low range. Here is a thread that explains it:

What are the exercises Steven Fraser gave you? Are they scales in a specific vowel sound? Please explain, thanks.

Ok - here is the other thread with the excercises:

The key to sing lower notes with more power is TWANG and a large vocal tract. The tricky part is to combine those two in a balanced way. Also remember a good support. :)

Martin: Sure agree with you there.

All: I am going to post a full-length article on the main site about training the lower part of the voice. When its approved, I will add a post to this thread with the link.
