Today in our singing lesson with Kim, we chose a vocal technique for example dynamics, breathe control and articulation and were asked to prepare some vocal exercises to help improve these whilst singing. The technique I chose was articulation and I worked in a group with Bryleah and Izzy to create our exercises.
I create two exercises for my vocal technique, articulation.
Exercise 1- repeat the sentence 'Don't you dare dunk Denise'.
Firstly, say this sentence using staccato, saying each syllable in the sentence and then carry on to sing the line in legato, long and pronounced wording.
Exercise 2- chose a letter from the alphabet 'p, t, d' and repeat them at a fast pace in rounds of 4. For example, 'p p p p'.
After, we got in to a circle and put in to practise some of the vocal exercises we had created. The one that had the most impact on my technique was Livvie's breathing exercise where we had to breath in for 3 counts and let out a 'ah' sound every other count. This helped me to understand where to breath when singing and how to control my breathing patterns through out a song.
Overall, today I have learnt the importance of vocal exercises for the voice and how necessary it is to do these as often as possible when an musical theatre student.
Below, is my planning sheet I worked on in the lesson.
