Get your belt in shape - healthy routines for your pop voice
How do we get in shape, what does it mean? We want all the components of voice production to have access to full range of motion, be flexible, and have good coordination. Then we can more easily and healthily choose our sounds! But where should I start, you may wonder?
In this workshop I’ll give you a few exercises to build up the stamina in different parts of your voice which you need to belt healthily without adding unnecessary effort or unwanted tension. I’ll walk you through WHY we are doing these different routines so you can apply it to your singing with intention and find the magic! This is great for any genre and voice, but we will do it from a belting perspective. Â
BONUS! You'll get a PDF with all the exercises to bring with you at all times, to keep that voice in shape!Â
Some things you’ll learn are:
- How to practice flexibility and larynx mobility with “Singy Siren”.
- How to find and practice your “Mini Belt” for better closure and intensity WITHOUT adding more air.
- How to find and practice your “Floppy Folds” to healthily add more mass without pushing.
- How to work your "Belting Break" to win back the richness and ease.
