The Use of Recordings


This is me singing at the age of 17, this is useful as the use of recording allows me to see what I’m doing wrong or elements which I can improve on.  In this piece my top notes were breathy so immediately I worked on closing my vocal chords which releases less air, which therefore gives it a purer note, but still keeping my natural vibrato. Watching this back now it shows how much my voice has changed as it has become richer in tone and supporting my voice becomes second nature now. To help my vocal support I use songs which are very legato and push my range. Also singing a full length of a song to one vowel like ee, or zz allowed me to feel the support which you sometimes forget about. Doing exercises like this for years has ultimately created muscle memory and has become a natural part of singing now.
