Vocal extent & resonance

The singing extent the strength of resonance and getting a strong tone with an open sound is generally developed already with the performing of correct vocal humming. Humming should be carried out with an entirely relaxed body but it should only be most of all a consequence of vibrating the face bones. Humming in a voiceful way that allows you the following conditions: relaxed expression, soft facial tissue and slightly opened lips. Correct resonance of the head (head voice) causes tickling in the part of the lips. You should lower the throat and at the same time lower the neck. This position hardly percepts the sound of the vocal chord and enables that without unnecessary touching the soft tissues strengthens with leaning on the chest, skull and facial bones.

Vocal extent (ambitus)

A wide vocal extent is a wish and at the same time a necessary skill of each completed singer. On the way to adopt wide positions you come across numerous obstacles where the most common are pressing the throat and incorrect posture most of all in the part of the head.

When widening melodious spans the perception of space is very important where the singer leans on the air pillar and the awareness of resonant moments where the sonic flow is directed. Especially useful is managing the mental imagination. It is easier to overcome the already adopted reflexes of the body response when performing “high” and “low” tones with them.
