Activating Your Singing Voice

Activities from class

• Sing responses to questions

• Echo singing (repeat back what you heard)

• Put your hand on your throat to feel the vibrations of your voice

• Deep breathing using our stomachs and not our shoulders.

• How long can you sing "buh" with one breath....5, 10, 15, 20?!? seconds?

• Directions of our voice (& pitches)

  • Moving our voice up like climbing a mountain

  • Down like falling off a cliff

  • Or monotone like a robot
