"O" EXERCISE

THE "O" EXERCISE

These days most singers strive to sound higher than their normal range in a bid to sound like a star they listen to. This is unhealthy.
Work hard to sound like #YOU.And if you discover that you sound too nasal (singing, with the nose as a major sound outlet) here is an exercise that will help.
EXERCISE
Sing through any song of your choice,instead of singing with your lips flaccid,forming each word, you keep it in a static "O" ,this means the vowel may be replaced with the letter "O". You will find out that the sound, becomes heavy regardless of the key or octave. This exercise helps relax the jaw,the soft palate and the tongue, preparing it for proper balanced singing.
You can also apply a slight pouting in your mouth space to enrich your sound in performance.

      You build your voice texture by first understanding your voice type,its range and it flexibility. Once that is established ,you will need to record your voice for auditory measurement. Then the work begins.
      1)play with as many sounds as possible.
      2) Get a goal sound(i.e what you would love to sound like)
      3) work on your facial structure for improved sound/tone production.
      4) Get to work with a keyboard(hard or soft) this will assist you in being tone accurate and pitch balanced.
      I hope this helps!
      Blessings!

FOOD vs. SINGERS

By -

FOOD FOR SONG...FOOD FOR THOUGHT "Drink raw eggs and your voice will be perfect" I guess you have heard that a lot. Well singers who fall prey often come to me with complaints of vomiting or general nausea afterwards. This is because raw eggs contain salmonella which can be harmful to ones general health and cause irritation on the vocal folds(due to excess vomiting). I would not say #don't take it I would admonish you #KNOW YOUR BODY. Also, as singers we hear alot about what to/ not to take to enhance vocal performance. But here are my submissions: 1) Eat what you desire but time them after knowing the rate at which they digest(following the chart below) and when you are to perform. 2) Take foods that go down well with you. Some people don't go well with certain food/fruit types. Personally I can't stand garlic...so study your body before ingesting anything. 4) Honey, ginger and lime should be a staple in your meal plan 3) Finally, the only thing I may say

  Iye lives in Ireland and has a fantastic soul voice with is soothing to listen to both when he raps and sings. It was such an experience working with me.  Tierra Dawn is a pediatrician and a very creative singer, who is blessed with a soul warming soprano. I was privileged. To work with her in preparation for her album release in September, 2020. She is one voice to look out for! Listen to what she has to say... Stephanie is a New Yorker with a passion for Spreading love and peace through her power Mezzo Soprano. Our paths crossed in 2019 and after our vocal sessions she's been soaring high and scoring major points in her career as a singer!  Mr. Steven Maduro (I call him "Pops") is one great example for any singer to emulate. He is tenacious and committed to the art of singing and every other field he belongs to! His sincere and soulful voice, which is a work in progress, has a way of embracing not just your mind but your soul. He was gracious enough to throw in a good

EMMA THE GREAT!

By -
Emma is a singer from Massachusetts,USA. She possesses an extremely soothing voice, but at first she failed to 'see' and feel the power locked up in her throat. Teenagers! Her first audition audio almost discouraged me (Clip 2) but I listened beyond the uncertain tones and timbre and heard something hidden there. And so we went to work. Talk about being focused? A ready name on your lips would be 'Emma', amidst her busy academic schedule, she would still make out time for practice and practice she did!  Today I shed tears of joy as I listened to what sheer grits and strategy has produced. (Clip 1) Whilst we celebrate her victory today, I am assured that the hurdles ahead of her career/hobby as a singer would be surmountable. Well-done Emma!  Drop a comment and share!
