smoothconfusion Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Why is "Goog" such a good exercise to practice? And if I wanna do it, shall I do it quietly so I can gently find the cord closure? Just wondering! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielformica Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The g lifts the soft palate,creates supra glottal pressure(to help close the cords gently) and balances the air flow ,the oo as in book keeps the vowel not to narrow not wide so you get through the passagio easier.

Danielformica Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Geran please look in a mirror. Your soft palate jumps up very simple don't complicate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Carvalho Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 you mean lowers the soft palate, while raising the tongue? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Carvalho Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yes, but its high tongue/high palate. If the palate is low, you start humming. Ha does not have a stop, its different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoHere Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 great post daniel... geran, the "g" consonant helps to gently exercise the muscles that assist fold closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoHere Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 to each his own......but from what i've read on that exercise and talking with daniel, that exercise is good when you have fold closure issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothconfusion Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi all! Thank you ever so much for the answers here. I do find doing Goog on a downward 5 tone scale startin at G4 does improve my chestvoice to lighten up, as I tend to "hit the wall". Like it got "crumbled up" if u get me? But sometimes I also just end up airy... BUT! I've just realized that I also that between singing phrases in a song, when I am about to breathe, I apparently forget to relax my muscles during inhalation and engage the support for the next singing phrase. I always start a song the right way, but the rest of the song I feel I struggle and I just found out why. Coz when I inhale and "engage" my support, it all gets into right place. Thought I wouldn't start a new thread about it.. and I am aware of SLS but i never found myself successful by doing their exercises coz i need to focus only on small bits at a time when imrpoving my voice, but doing them long massive scales seems so advanced, and I might do them later on, but not when I try to learn how to sing efficiently and learning to breath and support properly does solve 90% of all vocal issues im tellin ya! Cheers guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
