THE VOICE CONNECTION
SOUND OFF

Welcome to The Voice Connection Sound Off; a forum for users of books like Raise Your Voice, Melody to Madness, The Ultimate Breathing Workout, and Unleash Your Creative Mindset, as well as a place for Vendera Vocal Academy members to interact.

This message board was created so that singers could come together and "sound off" to help support each other during vocal development and the creative process of unleashing the creative spark that occurs when writing and producing music. Currently, myself and vocal coaches Ben Valen, Ray West, and Ryan Wall are here to respond periodicially to your questions, with new vocal coaches coming soon. But, feel free to help each other too:)

This board is here for you to ask questions about my and my fellow coach's books, videos, and MP3 programs, as well as offer others help with our vocal techniques. You may also post videos of yourself and your band to share your music and ask for critiques.

Please refrain from negative comments, profanities, spamming, and inappropriate criticisms of vocal methodologies, vocal coaches, and singers. All negative posts will be deleted and subject to banning without question. I will not respond to negative posts, because, as Mark Twain once said, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” With that said, positive criticism is welcome because that is how you'll grow as a singer during the training process.

Lip Bubbles

Ok,

I have started the warmup exercises and the lip bubbles are driving me crazy. I'm either making them wrong incorrectly or I just don't get it.

What happens is I start making the pitch, but when I slide down to the bottom of my range I find it hard to maintain the lip bubbles. It usually lands up as I can no longer keep up with the bubbles and as the pitch drops it just turns to breath...not bubbles..

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Lip Bubbles

I would say keep the bubbles very forward as you go lower, also you can take your pointing finger and thumb and gently press in the corners of your mouth to help maintain the brr sound as you go lower or higher...just picture your mouth in between a big set of boobs, just kiddin about the last part:)

Re: Lip Bubbles

Matt has the answers:) It's a lack of breath consistency on the slide. Keep working on it.
