P3 - B3

Vocal quality

  • Sing with a clear tone, gradually extending the vocal range

Explain how to create extra space for resonance. Compare opening the throat and raising the soft palate to downing a pint or a glass of lemonade in one gulp.

Always try to work from the top to the bottom of the voice to avoid the lower chest resonance being used at too high a pitch.

To brighten the tone, ask learners to sing a sincere American ‘Hi!’, with raised cheek muscles and eyebrows to encourage a more forward sound.
