2023.02.19 – 0780 – Tarzan and The Wake-Up Hum
Let’s start with the larynx.
Larynx
Your voice needs to start slow, so we’ll start by awakening the cords with humming, a great go-to for easing-in your instrument.
The Wake-up Hum
Be sure that your jaw is loose and your teeth are separated to create more room for resonance.Humm from your throat and chest in your usual register. That is, not from your lips.
Sirening
Now gradually move up a register. Don’t stop and reset, but glide up and then return to your ‘home’ tone. Then glide up further, and back down, and so on, through the pitch-range. Return to your usual register, and repeat the exercise going down in register. Do not force your voice to approach anything that starts to hurt.
Tarzan Humming
Take a breath and, as you breathe out, gently beat your chest with your fists while letting out a single, long ‘ahhhh’ sigh-sound. Repeat with an ‘ooooh’ sound.
