Smooth Singing…at what cost?Unit - each part uses different technique
Tenors - sing from vowel to vowelBari/Bass - smooth out everything
Leads - deliver the words…maybe
Clarity - Mushy consonants causes loss of lyric clarity
Ring - Minimized consonants produce vowels that cannot be
fully expanded

The Answer? Air Flow and Articulation!
Incorrectly done, these can also be a big part of the problem• Artificial and exaggerated air flow• Breathy tone, unclear lyrics
• Over-produced, choppy diction• Lip, jaw, tongue tension

Artificially Connected Soundsor…The Nose Knows
Can’t articulate with your nostrilsLoss of half our power Can’t make true consonants with half
the vocalized air going through your nose

Air FlowThe breath is the ocean, the voice is the
boat which floats on the ocean! Nature gave us the voice, we cannot change it, but we can educate the breath and learn to control it. This constitutes the whole method of singing.
“Vocal Wisdom”-Giovanni Lamperti

Singing and SpeakingSpeak-Sing technique - Jim Casey
Speak clearly, as if an oratorEmote, be genuineSpeak the line 3 times in a row
With meaning and inflection Not in the rhythm of the line
On the 4th time, sing using the same mouth and physical expression as when speaking emphatically
