2. Humming
1. Jazz Dance
3. La-Ga
[6 Note Scale]
A Dopey sound exercise, but this allows fo the jaw and tongue to be relaxed, which is essential
when singing
Humming warms up the voice and decreases tension with the least amount of strain.
Good way to introduce any rehearsal, get the blood pumping, the air circulating as well as
improving cardio which aids with the production of notes

8. Mum-Mum

6. No-No
5. Ne-Ne
[Arpeggios]
Whiny, nasally crying sound, which keeps the vocal chords together through the bridge. To erase the
break, you have to thin out the chest voice to meet with the head voice. Keeps you from
passing your falsetto, try and zip your vocal chords up.
Lowered larynx, with a narrow vowel which pulls you towards head voice, as opposed to chest voice.
Expansion on exercise 5, opening up the vowels just a little. Also working on vibrato production
Brings the larynx down, while keeping the vocal chords together. Richer tone produced.
