Breathing exercises - Using your voice - BBC Bitesize.
Breath is the power behind the voice, but this is only the start. As we breathe in, our lungs expand. When we speak, the air comes up through the trachea, making the vocal folds (which are situated at the top of the trachea) vibrate. This creates sound. The ability to control the breath is very important and is the basis of all voice work.
In my experience often singers blame breathing asking How can I control my Breath When singing? Actually what they should be asking is how can I get a focused sound from by vocal folds. As the fault (at least in part) is often down to the vocal folds not having enough vocal squeeze (glottal compression). So it is worth looking at that first.
A singer learns to use this muscle system to control the breath as it is being exhaled. Hold a finger close to your lips and breathe out slowly, the breath should be warm and moist and you should notice the action of the diaphram as you exhale. This is the correct amount of breath used when singing normally. A singer does not need to 'force' or.
Vocal variety is all about the sound of the voice and, in this case, that vocal image is created through several aspects of your sound, including pace, pitch, pause, and power. Pace In general, for vocal variety you are encouraged to vary your pace by speeding up and slowing down appropriately for the message you are delivering.
Take a breath, and send the breath between your lips and let them vibrate. Make sure your lips are relaxed, and you will find yourself doing a lip trill! When it comes to using lip trills for a vocal warm-up, you will want to take it a step further and add pitch to your trill, so that you are essentially “singing” via lip trills.
