Try lowering the larynx and see what it does to the sound of your voice.
The goal of this exercise is to locate the resonance center in your chest. Just like last week, we used different vowels to locate the center of resonance in the head, we are now using the position of your larynx to access the resonance center in your chest. Be sure to maintain a bright sound in your head, but now, simply add the chest resonator.
Of course I don’t talk like this. But for for the sake of the exercise, feel free to exaggerate the sound and then you can tune how much of this technique you’d like to apply to your voice.
Try it yourself. First with no resonators. Then with your head only. Then with the head and chest.
Your tongue is a muscle which is closely involved with the larynx, and you might have the temptation to strain it. Be sure that your tongue is laying flat in your mouth and not experiencing any tension.
Learning to engage your head and chest resonators will unlock a full-bodied voice that is both pleasant and impactful. It is the perfect balance between being approachable yet powerful, attractive, yet sophisticated.
