If you’re having issues with the delivery of your
notes—assuming you’ve had some form of vocal training—there’s always a way to
get to the bottom of what’s causing the problems you’re experiencing. It comes
in really handy when you know how to eliminate all probabilities from a list of
the usual suspects. This article takes a closer look at how to quickly resolve
your vocal problems by process of elimination. So let’s get started.
The flat and unconnected notes are pretty commonplace. The
way to fix this is to examine your breath intakes. Are you breathing well
enough? Do you have enough breath to hold the note, or are you simply running
on empty and expecting to fly? You’ll be amazed how inadequate breath can mess
up your vocal.
The vowels are routinely ignored by many. Look at your face
in the mirror as you sing and ask yourself this: are your AAs and EEs open
enough. If your mouth is practically shut, don’t be surprised when your notes
crack and fall apart. Are your IIs, OOs and UUs focused enough in the way your
lips shape to articulate these vowels. If not, get focused and you’ll sound a
whole lot better.
Are you sounding throaty? Well, simply put, are you putting
all the weight on your throat when navigating your range, instead of working
with the scales as per your training? This may come as a complete surprise to
you, but I have pupils who, despite the training in speech level singing, they
still forget to apply their training to singing a song. So in case you’re
sounding crap, be sure to listen to yourself and—especially, pay attention to
your throat. If it’s meddling with your sound production, go back to doing the
scales to correct that.
