Week 2: Resonance exercise #1

Episode Summary

Imagine a cell phone vibrating on a metal desk. Make that sound to access your head resonator.

Episode Notes

In this first exercise, we will concentrate on the sinus resonator by starting with a “hmm” sound.

The goal is to create the most resonant sound possible, accessing rich overtones, that might even cause a tickling sensation in your nose. If you feel that, then you know you’re on the right track.

Start by mimicking a vibrating cell phone on a metal desk.

Now, there’s a way to hum that is dull, and a way that is resonant. Notice that the neck is completely relaxed, the sound is resonant, and there is no sign of straining.

If you’re not sure whether you’re doing it right. My full online course includes full-length videos, a community where you can chat with other professionals developing their voice, and even get access to weekly webinars where I give 1-1 feedback. Practice doesn’t always make perfect, practice makes permanent.
