WHEN DOES YOUR VOICE STOP GETTING DEEPER FULL
Trills also help to get the respiratory muscles into full action rapidly. The voice is freed up, and the singer can warm-up in the highest and lowest parts of the range with ease and minimal risk of strain. Since the upward force on the vocal folds is minimized due to positive oral pressure, the throat is able to remain open and relaxed, and airflow faces no obstruction from the articulators. The sound can then remain natural and unimpeded - the phonation threshold pressure is lowered by providing an acoustic load that is relatively inert. Vowels and consonants must be formed (shaped or articulated) with the tongue, pharynx, soft palette, facial muscles and lips, whereas, during trills, the sound coming from the vocal folds faces no resistance or shaping from the articulators until it reaches the tip of the tongue or the lips. It is much easier for singers to gently access their full range by trilling the lips and tongue than by singing actual vowels and consonants (as when they sing the sound 'la'). Lip and tongue trills help to loosen the throat, jaw, tongue and lips, spread the vocal folds so that they vibrate mainly at their edges, and encourage relaxation in the student who doesn't need to concentrate on having perfect tone, registration, enunciation and pure vowels at the same time. A proper warm-up involves gently and systematically preparing the voice for the demands that are about to be placed on it.Ī great way to allow the voice to warm up in all parts of the range quickly and without strain is to trill the lips and/or tongue (as in "rolling one's r's") during arpeggios, scales or glides that both climb and descend in pitch. Just as a serious athlete would never push his or her body to its physical limits without first stretching and loosening the muscles and joints, a singer should never put his or her vocal apparatus to the test without first 'stretching' it. (This is where a vocal instructor may be particularly beneficial.) WARMING UP At times, a change in certain behaviours or unhealthy habits may be necessary in order to protect the voice from developing problems in the first place. Insufficient rest, obesity, poor nutrition and hydration, substance abuse and allergies can all lead to sicknesses that can have serious affects on the speaking and singing voice.Ī singer must pay close attention to the signals that his or her voice gives so that the necessary steps toward preventing problems can be taken. Maintaining overall good health through healthy habits is critical, as I will explain in the following sections. It is important for a singer to care for his or her voice so that fatigue, strain and injury may be avoided, and so that it may function at its optimum. As I've written elsewhere on this site, the voice is a highly delicate instrument.
