What it teaches

Say the line as if calling to a friend across a room, at speaking volume, then sing it that way. Bright is not belt. First steps to belting is the first step; full belt is for later, with a teacher.

Call across the room. Speaking volume, speech vowels

Then sing it. Near your comfortable note

Stop if. It scratches or tickles: sing it the legit way

What you sing

  1. The line, bright and easy, over the chords.
  2. Once more, then hear yours beside the guide's.

Singing safely

Medium volume, the middle of your voice; never push to be heard. Bright is not belt. First steps to belting is the first step; full belt is for later, with a teacher. Stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts.
