More in Easy range and chest voice

Low and easy

Low notes come from a relaxed voice, not a pushed one. Let each note sink lower on its own, at speaking volume.

Talking volume. Low notes are naturally quieter: never press down

Chin level. Never tuck it to reach a note

Crackly or tight?. Don't push down for it: stop and rest

What you sing

  1. Five notes down on "ah", heard then sung. Let them get lower, not pressed.
  2. Hold the lowest one, easy, without pushing it down.
  3. Record the low note once more and listen back.

Challenge: A low line

A short line in the low part of your range. Easy, at talking volume.

Breathe first. Then the whole line

Low, not loud. Let it sit

What you sing

  1. Hear it, then sing it back.

Singing safely

Voices that are still breaking should wait. Sing only as high and low as is easy, keep the top light and quiet, never drag a heavy sound up past your break, and stop if anything tightens, tickles or hurts.
