What it teaches

A bass's low notes come from ease, not effort. They're quieter than your middle notes, and that's right: the mic does the work.

Step down. Do, ti, la, so, fa, one at a time

Hold only do. The low notes are short

Easy throat. Where it sits when you speak

What you sing

  1. Try it slowly with the guide, down to fa and back.
  2. Now on your own: down by step and back, holding do at each end. Low and easy, never pressed.

Singing safely

Low and easy: never press, growl or tuck your chin to reach a note, and keep your throat where it is when you speak. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
