The Beauty of Vowel Sounds! (Singing Teachers)
Hey gang!
I recently delved further into my knowledge of vowel sounds and their importance whilst singing and have fallen IN LOVE with how sneaky these simple sounds can be! I am a huge advocate of ‘the underlying UH’ and John Henny but do you guys know of any other vowel masters I can get researching into?
Brand me as the singing nerd if you must BUT I JUST LOVE VOWELS!
All the best everyone,

I love vowels too! I find it’s all about lengthening them in singing and softening consonants which is what differentiates between singing and speaking.
I use A E I O U warm ups as well as “Ar”, “Ah”, “Eh”, “Ee”, “Oh”, “Oo”, alternating for each scale. I really know how to have fun in my lessons!!!

Do you use harsh consonant pressure when singing staccato? Check out some crazy and amazing science about Vowels and harmonics. It’s changed my life!

Also, if you get bored of your usual vowel sounds, try out the extended vowel scale:
I – AH – ER – EH – AY – EE – UH – OH – OO
The way the tongue moves on each sound is quite drastic so I’ve found helping students stabilise this movement creates a cleaner, more stable sound.
