Breathing Problems (Singing Teachers)

Once again, Kat’s on it – that twang will work wonders for getting her vocal folds to be more active: although it’ll take ages for it to feel comfortable for her. I had a student who used to talk only in head voice – very light and lilting but not at all forceful or impactful – but eventually the chest voice came out!

Hiya, I find that some of these issues can be helped by looking at how the student is breathing and supporting the sound. I work constantly with my students on connecting the sound to the body which helps to prevent a breathy tone and avoids singing from the throat. I agree with the ng exercises as well as humming, they are great to find good resonance. Also sing on kieu leading to the oo sound from the tonic, jumping up a 5th and then returning to the tonic down the scale. I find this really helps to blend registers as long as proper support is in use. Plus the K helps to release any tongue tension. Hope that is of some use!
