Just received an enquiry for group lessons and referred to this thread! Great advice all.

Haha what a great youtube clip!
Helping a singer with their tone is a difficult one, especially if their tone is following their speaking voice; you don’t want to deviate too much from this and make singing feel like something that’s unnatural and divorced from the rest of their voice.
The only ideas I have are these:
1. Take a look at her vowels, and maybe do some work sustaining the 5 italian vowels, helping her to understand the difference between lighter and darker vowel pronunciations (ie. is the vowel shape closer to ee or oh? Is she tending towards a smile shape?)
2. Make sure her whole range is being worked. Sometimes a high larynx is made worse when someone feels as though they’re at the top of their chest and are hitting a wall. Plenty of hooty head voice work might alleviate this.
3. Work with her at a variety of volumes. Does she seem to be stuck at one volume all the time? Either very quiet or very loud? Sometimes working through different volumes can help the voice kind of break out of its mould if that makes any sense.Let me know how you’re going with the student and if any of this helps :).

Alright everyone, I felt like dredging up this thread to see if anything has changed? How are your musical projects all going? Are there any new people to the forum who are in bands I could check out? Would love to hear more of your collective awesome creative work.
