  • Welcome3:56

    Hello and WELCOME!

    Here’s a bit more information about the course and what you need to do to get the most from it.

  • Introduction to breath6:34

    Let’s talk about breathing. Where do we breath for singing?

    In this first lesson we’re going to talk about the difference between breathing for speaking and breathing for singing, and why it’s so important to get it right.

    Don’t get stressed about this guys, and don’t overthink it. Overthinking can cause tension which we don’t want for singing.

    Struggling to find the right place to breathe? Lie down on your back and relax. Let your breathing regulate and focus on where the breath is going.

  • Breathing Homework!11:25

    Now we know how we should be breathing for singing, let’s give it a go. This is a great exercise to practise every day (yes – every day!). You’ll engage the right support and increase your stamina and breath capacity each time you practise.

    If you find you’re getting a little light headed during this exercise – don’t panic. Your body isn’t used to breathing so deeply and taking in so much oxygen for an extended time. As you practise this, your body will adjust to the new levels of oxygen and you won’t feel so light headed.

    Don’t forget to keep a glass of water handy and sit down if you need to.

  • The Magic Lip Trill11:02

    Now you’ve practised breathing for singing, you know what that sensation is and you know how to practise at home – let’s connect it to some actual singing.

    Now we’re going to try lip trills. They’re MAGIC. Honestly – if you do no other exercise but lip trills you’ll still hear a difference in your voice.

    The lip trill uses a very small amount of the vocal cord but it requires you to activate the breath (and support it properly).

    If you can’t seem to get the lip trilling, try pushing your cheeks in and forward to stick out your lips, or try rolling the tongue at the same time!

  • Supported, Open, Relaxed AH10:09

    Now we’ve done the lip trill, let’s actually sing on a nice, open aaahh vowel.

    Here’s what you need to focus on:

    • Don’t push the sound, let your supporting breath gently push the sound out.
    • We’re not trying to make a pretty sound – don’t even think about your tone. Just support the sound.
    • This should be effortless – support it from your abdominals but don’t push, strain, force or pinch the sound from your throat. At all.

    You can do it!

Requirements

  • Students won't need any special materials or software for this course but they must be prepared to practise the exercises shown in their own time.
