Adam Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi everyone just a question regarding the exercises on the TVS method. I currently have TVS 2.5. Alot of the exercises are done with the same vowel sound are we meant to only look at this primary vowel sound for the exercises or cover all of them?

gilad Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I dont think I understood your question. I would highly recommend you email Rob directly. He is excellent at getting back to his clients! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks Gilad for your reply i will do that. I just meant all the demonstrations are using the me-ay sound. My question was just, are we meant to cover all that major vowel sounds in the exercises(to balance at the voice when singing other vowel sounds in different phrases) or just stick to this one sound.

jonpall Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think you're supposed to practise mostly with the Eh vowel, although you should work the other vowels too. It's just that the program considers the Eh vowel to be the most important vowel for vocal training. I've used the Eh vowel a lot myself, actually, and like it.

Adam Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hey Jonpall thanks for the reply. Yeah i thought it might be something like that I tend personally to find i need to cover each vowel to feel free when singing in my upper register.

Owen Korzec Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Do all the vowels. Start with the easier vowels and work your way toward the harder vowels, over the course of a few months. Also as you get better at several of them, start mixing them up within the same workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 From what I could understand of 4 Pillars, and others are certainly welcome to correct me if I am wrong, no sarcasm or snottiness from me, for I am really NOT an expert, the me-eh thing is multi-tasking. Me or even ng finds your resonant spot. And eh is a "midway" vowel. Halfway between ah and ee. It is a formant, of sorts. And you can articulate a lot of things from eh. No problem working with other vowels. It's just the eh gets you there rather quickly. Why fight vowels when learning alignment? I have said it before, so it bears repeating. More than words, more than books, listen to what Robert does with a vowel. Really listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
