Audio Lesson 5

Pitch, Staying in Tune

The first goal for this lesson is to understand the difference between pitch and tone (terms which are often confused with each other), and how to avoid singing sharp or flat. We will teach you how to use your newly acquired support and control techniques to achieve this.

Then we’ll tell you about perfect pitch, which is a rare gift, and “relative pitch,” which is something every singer can aspire to AND achieve. So the overall goal for this lesson is to develop your own “mental ear.” Then you can understand relative pitch and hear when a sound - most importantly your own singing voice - is not reaching notes or singing over the pitch it should be.

Audio Lesson 4

Tone

Now we’re moving on to the nitty-gritty of vocal technique. From this section onwards, you’re going to learn everything you need to know about tone, pitch, as well as your chest and head voices.  This stuff may seem easy to brush off, but these lessons will actually give you the best basis for producing a professional sounding voice. After all, the foundation is the most important aspect of singing.

Audio Lesson 3

Breathing and Posture

Your breathing will affect your vocal tone as well as your pitch. That's why today we are focusing on Breathing and Posture. While Lesson 2 is about learning incredibly easy and effective warm ups that help strengthen your voice and add flexibility, the third lesson covers breathing techniques and correct posture for singers.

In the last couple of lessons, we talked a little about breathing and just how important it is to have the correct support and control. As a singer, your breathing greatly affects your performance because it’s the flow of air which makes it possible for you to produce sound in the first place!

Thus, the goals for this lesson are to:

• Understand the importance of correct breathing technique and posture
• Learn how to breathe from your entire body
• Learn the effects of using proper breathing techniques
• Learn how to “ground” yourself to produce a fuller sound.
