Steady in the middle

What it teaches

A long note in the middle of your voice, steady to its end. If a gentle wave comes into it by itself, let it; if not, that's fine.

Steady to the end. No sag at the end of the breath

Easy, not breathy. The middle of your voice; stop if anything tightens or hurts

What you sing

  1. Find the notes. Each waits until you're on it.
  2. The phrase on "ah": its long note steady to the end.

Singing safely

Your own voice at an easy medium volume, never pressed or put on: classical is how you join the notes, not a voice you make. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
