Singing Exercises
Just how does someone develop their voice? It should be obvious that simply singing along to your favorite singer doesn't develop a singing voice otherwise everyone would be able to sing well.
To actually train a voice properly specialized voice exercises are used.
The purpose of the exercises is to train the various aspects of voice to be used properly by the singer and to build vocal agility and endurance. More importantly though any exercises you do should instill the, "attack of the mask," for all of your singing. If you are using another course that does not specifically do this, then you are wasting your time.
When you learn the attack of the mask the singing voice gets developed very quickly. Usually within a matter of weeks and somtimes even within just a few days of practice. If you've been going to vocal lessons or using another course for months or even a year or more and still can't sting well, it is because the course or coach doesn't teach the attack of the mask.
The voice doesn't need to be built up like body building, where it takes years to go from having no physique to having huge muslces. You need Vocal Release because it coordinates your voice into using the attack of the mask. The attack of the mask is the secret to really singing great. Anyone who says different doesn't know what they are talking about.
The correct vocal exercises are sort of like training wheels for the voice. They coorodinate your voice into the the easiest way to sing.
Be careful though, some exercises taught wrong are actually harmful to a singers voice development.
Or don't really do anything. Or are claimed to do more than they really do.
A common myth floating around the internet is that, "lip bubbles," are all you need to do to increase your range.
A few articles infer that these alone will enable you to hit high notes. It is true this exercise will help to increase your range, but only because what it really does is allow the vocal cords to function without involvement from the larynx muscles.
You can do lip rolls and tongue trills until you are blue in the face. Iif you don't know how to attack your voice specifically and directly into the mask these exercises won't make you sing any better.
Vocal Release uses Lip Rolls and Tongue trills for the beginning part of it's course. However, Vocal Release will show you how to do them right. If you were unable to do them in another course or they made you feel like you were clenching it's because they did not teach you the right attack.
Without the attack of the mask any trigger phrase sung is basically useless. Singing, "mum," in a breathy tone or "nay," in a nasal tone without knowledge of how to attack the voice from the mask is doing nothing but wasting your time and frustrating you.
Lip rolls and tongue trills and trigger phrases with tone adjustments only temporarily help the voice. If you continue with bad singing habits, you undo this and never really gain range from this exercise alone. Without learning the attack of the mask all the time training using trigger phrases is wasted.
Vocal Release actually teaches you, HOW TO SING, not just WHAT TO SING.
With vocal exercises the main rule is if it hurts, stop. You are doing it wrong.
Singing should always be easy and relaxed, even for powerful singing and high notes.
Great singers don't have anything physically different than someone who doesn't sing. They have simply trained correctly and practiced these learned techniques often.
There are voice exercises for everything from breath support to singing high notes.
The Vocal Release At Home Singing Instruction Kit is much more that a collection of vocal exercises though. It will educate you on voice.
After using the course your voice will be greatly improved and you will have learned enough about voice to train your self and never really need a vocal coach.
It it put together so that even someone with no experience in singing can understand the material and progress.
Experienced singers who may have problems with their voice will find the answer to just about any vocal problem and a way to fix it.
