    I always just call it the gorilla sound, or try and sound like a bloke yet staying high (for the girls!) that’s cool as I’m doing a lot of what’s being mentioned already..!

    Nice! Though I would definitely recommend finesse over force when it comes to belting.

    Yeah sometimes I can’t get the balance right as they push a little too hard. I mostly just try to demonstrate the gorilla (thyroid tilt in posh language?!) in the way that it can be effortless although well projected without just shouting

    My student who needed assistance with the above wants to thank Chris for the tongue sticking out idea as she immediately noticed that it helped. We are currently doing sobby singing too which is proving to be very effective!
