Having a problem over here!

Okay my trills, licks and runs aren't as fast as I want them, and I know it takes practise, but I was just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong..
Is muscles suppose to move under the chin whlie you do them? And I kind of move my jaw in a "bouncy way" when I'm doing a trilldown.. Is that wrong?

I'll try that Smile

Thanks!

Stupid!

I have been on the SS-program for 3 months now, and I first discovered my mix a week ago(is that normal?).. It was so silly.. I was convinced that an edgy headvoice was a mix.. It made me soo frustrated because of the breaks in my voice..
Then one day I was being silly in my exercises.. and I found it..
It was great, but it made me feel so stupid..
what a waste of time..
But I guess that teaches me to listen more thoughroughly to the demos and explanations..
Peace out Smile

I'm almost 3 months with SS, but still didn't find my mix...

All I've got now is to find out that I've been done the exercises with lots of mistakes.

But still there is something interesting... I think I'm starting to feel the "zip up" of my chords and then controlling it a little bit more... but I think that still far from my mix. For while.

(Sorry if I typed something wrong. I'm brazillian... hehe).

Hey again..

So I'm gonna sing new years eve and I don't really have a lot of time for practising.. so.. I need some short exercises that will warm my voice up quickly.. Is there any such thing??

lip rolls are the fastest way to warm up the voice. also squeaky edgy hums are good too. just go up and down you range

okay great! thanks Smile

It's working.. But I have no pride left :(

I live with my sister and her husband, and unfortunately her husband is on the conservatory (as basist though..). He often walks in on me doing the exercises, and he must probably think I'm some sort of idiot by now.. I mean.. he has really heard me do some crazy stuff!! I'm so embarressed.. :S
and another thing is that we don't have much isolation in the ceiling and the walls so I'm pretty sure my neighboughs hate me.. I am so loud sometimes.. Am I the only one who feels like this??
Oh I WISH Singing success people would come and open some songworkshops in Denmark!!!

omg that is so true!! that was actually the reason i stopped SS last 2 years. The reason I cried because I can't have vocal practices anywhere. I don't have my own room too, my family and I share one bedroom and my brother have the other bedroom (he rent for it).
I continued it last year (Nov 2011) until present by following the plan i made. In my plan, I list all the possible places I can practice, that includes, outside our house, my bro's bedroom, our bedroom and the living room. I check every time if the room/place is vacant and that's when I practice. My bro and sis has school stuff and my dad and mom has work so I come at home early enough when they're still not here and for 2-3 hours i find time to practice everyday..

I tried using pillow but i can't concentrate on the practices. I guess you should just explain to them that you are having vocal exercises.

Hehe sjovt at se der er så mange fra Danmark herinde. Denne teknik er vejen frem, det virker magisk! :-) Smile

Okay exercises in general.!

Should I repeat the exercises on the cd's(singing success) or is it enough to do them one time?

Exercises are used for muscle memory and to set vocal coordinations. If the exercise feels right the first time through (all of our voices vary slightly from day to day), then move on to the next. Otherwise, repeat the exercise to set the coordination and further warm-up the voice. It's a feel thing...as you utilize the exercises from day to day, you will know your voice better and better and know immediately which exercises you'll need to shape up your voice on any given day.

thanks very helpful Smile

Oo to u to uh

im having trouble with the oo - oh - ah, ee - ih - eh and all the others..
I find it hard to have vibrato on the start and second vowel, though it is easer to put vibrato on the last..
Is there any method to make it easier???
When I do it in a opera kind of way it works better.
Is it okay to just do it the opera way? Or should I keep it more "clean"?

I just recorded a cover...

I've decided to use my handy iPhone to record. Not bad. Of course the minute the record button is pushed, my voice has a few frogs jumping in it! Eh, it's a rough draft... 2 days into the program and getting back into singing seriously in 7 years...

But anyway, how in the heck to post the video!? LOL

The color of your voice is good. You sang it great but it didnt Wow me, you know?
It did sounded like you're nervous and holding back.
Haven said that If this was an audition for xfactor or whatever you would be going to the next round Wink

Fernandezns: "You sang it great but it didn't wow me, you know?"

Neutral

I'm not sure how to respond to this.

I wouldn't expect anyone to "wow" someone being only 2 weeks into the program. Just saying...

Having said that, I'm glad I made it to the next round.

Thank you.

Whistle?!

Hey so I've been doing the singingsuccess program for about 5 weeks, and I' ve run into some troubles with my whistle. I'm not really sure if I even do the whistle right, but I'm always about 5 tones lover than the lightest tone. When I'm in my whistle I push as much air through the vocal chords and I don't use the swallow muscles(I think), but it's really straining and hurts and I have a hard time making the whistle sound powerful. How do I know what's my whistle voice? Does it feel any differnt than head? Do I keep my larynx(is that the addams apple?)low when i do whistle in tongue trills and lip rolls?
