Erkki Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hello! Sometimes my cord closure is ok (not very good though), but usually it's really lacking, and that varies daily a lot. Sometimes even high and low notes feel quite easy, and sometimes I don't have a proper cord closure even on my comfort zone. Are there some warm ups that I could use to improve my cord closure, when having a connected tone feels difficult? I've used scales with syllables starting with 'b' to improve my cord closure. Are there any other excercises that could help? Also, what's a good amount of practice? I have 2-3 cord closure excercises in my daily set of excercises. Does having many cord closure excercises tire vocal cords? And would it be better to do some excercises multiple times a day? I hope this made any sense, but long story short: How to improve my cord closure in the short term (e.g. before I'm going to perform) and in the long term?

Owen Korzec Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Slide up and down your range on a witchy sounding pure, thin, super bright "ee" You can also do the same with the nasal consonants m, n, or ng. Keep the sound bright and buzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Do staccato with no h's in front of the vowel in your low to middle range c3-c4. Ah ah, eh eh, oh oh etc. don't get breathy make sure it's a confident not squeezed or pressed vowel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
