by Rosemary Butler
1. Lift Soft Palate ( like the beginning of a yawn)
2. Breathe Using Diaphragm (below ribs) No smoking in vocal booth!
3. Flatten Your Tongue For open vowels bring slightly forward
4. Move Adams Apple (vocal chords are inside) down for high notes (make guk, guk sound)
5. Feel The Buzz (skull, teeth, jawbone, hard palate, ribs)
6. Relax Your Face and Shoulders take stress off, get loose feel the groove
7. Don't Strain Or Sing Too Loud (studios more sensitive than live)
8. Don't Pop P's or belt too close to the mic ; check distances Pronounce words clearly
9. Headphones pitch? ( more piano) rhythm? ( more snare). Turn down instruments that slide or have reverb, take one ear off
10. Run Thru Song for ideas, accuracy, dynamics, improvisation, emotion, goosebumps
