What it teaches
Hold each vowel pure, the same from start to end. Singers tend to drift sharp on "ee" and flat on "oo": the app hears that.
One vowel. The same all through
On the note. Ee not sharp, oo not flat
A loose jaw. A loose jaw and an easy tongue: the tongue does t, d, n, l and s, and the jaw barely moves. Light consonants, never pushed. Stop if anything tightens.
What you sing
- Ah, eh, ee, oh, oo, each held on the drone's note.
Singing safely
A loose jaw and an easy tongue: light consonants, never pushed. A medium volume, the middle of your voice. Stop if anything tightens.
