Daily Vocal Tip, July 5, 2021

Should you look UP when you sing? Usually, this is considered a bad vocal habit when we're starting out as singers. However, there are actually some real benefits later on! We should always avoid jutting or lilting the chin out to the point of unwanted tension in the jaw and neck. However, a slight elevation of the chin and face on higher notes can be helpful. First, it can optimize the resonance by raising the first formant. Next, it can recruit the StyloPharyngeal muscles that assist the pitch-raising muscles (CricoThyroids) in stretching the vocal folds. Lastly, it just looks aesthetically awesome when singers do it well! While it is certainly not the solution for her notes, this trick can lead to increased vocal freedom in the upper ranges. Things are looking up!
