How to sing better for girls.
Hi guys, Ken Tamplin from Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, and I’m going to teach you a little
bit about the voice and voice lessons today.
This is part two in a three-part series on how to sing better for girls.
Now breathe in the breath, and then I want you to use strength from your abdomen,
kinda like you’re doing a sit up, the strength that you feel in the abdomen when you’re
doing a sit up.
Now instead of going and flipping into head, I want you to stay in the belting, or the
call register as long as you can, so you can strengthen this part of the voice, and we’ll
handoff this sound, or we’ll handoff meaning from chest into head, later, so we can strengthen
this part and build a nice, robust, powerful chest voice first, and then connect that head
register later.
Let’s continue.
“Lah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah…”
Get your breath together.
Don’t forget to take your breath and pull in on that diaphragm.
As you’re going up with the scale you push down on the diaphragm, on the belly, to support
or sustain these notes.
Now, notice.
As we ascend the scale, there’s a tendency to want to go Lah, ah…
To flip in your head voice.
Resist the urge, resist the temptation of that.
I have an exercise I like to think about, because sometimes girls say I don’t know,
when I flip into my head voice, I don’t know how to get out of it, I just flip into
my head voice.
And I like to use the analogy if you have a bicycle or a skateboard or a car or somebody
is stealing your purse let’s say, and you see the thief, and he’s running over there.
You wouldn’t say (weakly) stop.
Thief.
Stop that thief.
He stealing my purse.
He stealing my car, or my bike.
Right?
You’d say HEY!!!
STOP!!
THEIF!!!
THAT’S MY BIKE!!
THAT’S MY PURSE!!!
STOP!!!
Right?
That’s called the belting register, or the call register, and you can defer to that.
Now don’t go crazy, cause we don’t want to blow out your cords, but you want to refer
to that so that when you’re actually going through these scales, you can actually ask
yourself the question would this be like me calling out to someone who’s stealing my
purse, or my bike, or my car, or whatever.
Now you can use this with this nice bright ah, and this nice technique of bringing in
the abdomen as strength, or the engine that drives your car in order to start to build
a great voice for learning how to sing better.
Okay.
Once we’ve strengthened the chest voice or the call register or the belting register
we also need to pay special attention to our head voice and to learn how to connect it
seamlessly with our chest voice.
Now most girls, and this is how to learn how to sing better for girls…
