In this lesson you are going to learn what the three building blocks of your voice are and experience them working together so that you can start producing sound freely.

The Why: 

So, the goal with this lesson, the “why” that gives you a reason for doing it, is for you to know how your voice works so that you can start adjusting these components to create the sound that you want.

I meet so many student who struggle with certain techniques and most often the root to their problems is that they have not mastered one or several of their building blocks. This is exactly what you will learn in this course. 

In this lesson we’re going to zoom in on your generator and start some detailed work on your breathing, more specifically: Your inhalation technique.

The Why:

Now before you start learning breathing technique I want to make sure that you know why it is important to learn this. The goal of your breath practice is that you learn to control the air stream that you send to your vocal folds, so that it is steady all the way from the beginning of your phrases to the end of your phrases. This technique is crucial for you to have an agile balanced voice because without a steady air stream the vocal folds have inefficient vibration, and you cannot manipulate your resonance well. This affects for example your ability to sing with power and do vocal riffs and runs which is something that most of us singers aim to achieve. So, you can see why learning breathing technique is valuable. 

In this lesson we’re going to focus on your exhalation technique so that you can start creating that steady stream of air that generates a nice vibration in your vocal folds.

The Why:

So, the goal with this lesson, the why that gives you a reason for doing it, is for you to learn how to exhale a steady stream of air. 

We sing when we exhale and so this is crucial technique to learn. Actually, all the time you've spent on mastering your inhalation technique is only worth something if you work on using it when you exhale to sing. 

In this final lesson on breathing technique we’re going to focus on your breath support, that means were going to focus on supporting your vocal folds with the right amount of air for optimal vibration, both in relation to the time it takes to breath and the pitch you sing.

The Why:

So, the goal with this lesson is for you to feel the connection between your generator, your air, and your vibrator, your vocal folds, because getting this connection right is one of the things that leads to balanced effortless sound.

In this lesson we’re going to zoom in on the second building block of your voice, the vibrator, which is your vocal folds. As the air pass through them it generates the vibrations that is your voice. Many students of singing experience constriction in their singing and I want to focus this lesson on doing everything we can to allow your vocal folds to vibrate freely now that you are supplying them with a solid stream of breath control ;-)

The Why:

So that is your goal with this lesson, learning to relax your throat so your vocal folds can vibrate freely. 

We are going to work on both your head and jaw posture as well as practice singing without strain. 

I am super excited for you, because we are now starting our work on your resonance, the 3^rd and final building block of your voice. You are able to do this because you have worked hard on your 1^st building block, your generator, by practicing your breathing technique, and your 2^nd building block, your vibrator, by practicing jaw and head posture that allows your vocal folds to vibrate freely. It is this awesome vibration that you are now ready to resonate into the beautiful sound that is your voice.

The Why:

So the goal of this lesson is for you to become aware of the resonance in your voice and begin mastering it.

In this lesson we are going to continue our work on your resonance by giving you more tools to manipulate your oral cavity and optimize your sound.

The Why:

So, the goal with this lesson is for you to improve the resonant tone in your voice. This is a big step in developing the sound color that you want. 

In this lesson we are going back to the second building block in your voice, the vibrator, and you’re going to learn about the two main registers of your voice: The head voice and the chest voice.

Getting comfortable with my head voice was a huge step in singing higher notes and adding a softer color to my voice. Accessing your head voice is also a key foundation in managing the vocal break and singing high with power.

The Why:

So, the goal with this lesson, the why that gives you a reason for doing it, is for you to get comfortable with your head voice so you can sing higher notes.

In this lesson we're going to focus on all the three building blocks in your voice, as we first practice producing good sound on your lower notes and then find your vocal range. We will also look at how knowing your range is a useful tool in your singing. At the end of this lesson we’re also going do a quick recap on the awesome singing technique you know now, by looking at how this great solid foundation, is crucial in helping you study more advanced vocal technique.

The Why:

So, the goal with this lesson, the why that gives you a reason for doing it, is to find your vocal range and engage the power of the knowledge you’ve learned in this course.
