Tingling sensation in face while singing?
Q. I can get everything my vocal teacher tells me except when she talks about feeling a tingling sensation in your forehead and nose. She says that my tone is stuck in the back of my throat and we need to get it out. No matter how many times she talks about the an open jaw, lip trills, and humming, I still don't feel it while singing. I can feel the tingling sensation when I do lip trills and humming with an open jaw, but still not while singing. Maybe if someone else tells me over and over it will click.

A. First thing in the morning is a BAD time to do vocal exercises, but if you must, do the "siren" - simply hum in increasing and decreasing pitch - just like the way a siren sounds.

I'm new to singing and I noticed I'm lowering the larynx wrong. Is there any way for me to break the habit?
Q. I use my swallowing muscles to lower the larynx and I can feel it when I try to do lip trills. The muscles right blew the chin is the one that drops also, that is wrong right? Because it starts to feel ...tense/tight, and I'm not sure how to break this habit, any advices?
Asked by Jon - Wed May 28 00:11:11 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. first of all, using the swallowing muscles under the tongue actually lifts the larynx, so you need to stop using those muscles, Instead, use the ones that help you yawn, or at lteast, the ones that come into play at the beginning of a yawn. Take time to feel under your chin while you 1) swallow 2) start to yawn ( or open as if you wanted to) When you swallow, you'll feel some tightening going on. this is to be avoided. While testing out the yawn postiion, you'll feel everything drop down a bit. That's what we want for singing! Once you have that one sorted out, take a good look at how you use your tongue. The tip of the tongue should rest at the bottom row of teeth for all vowels. Of course, it has to dart around to make consonanats,… [cont.]

Questions on how to sing better?
Q. Alright, I was chosen for a solo, and it is Oh Danny Boy. I have an alto range (although my choir director says that I could go soprano) and I am kind of worried about the High E in the song. I do lip trills and scales, but is there any other way that I could improve my head voice? Thanks in advance!

A. Don't strain your voice. Don't try to hard either. When you try to sing the E, don't tilt your head upward. Raise your eyebrows and try to open your mouth wider. But don't spread your mouth open as if your were going to smile.

A. It isn't range that determines if you are a soprano or an alto. The two major factors in determining voice part are the tone or timbre of the sound and the location of the passaggi. Soprani typically have lighter, and bouncier voices. Altos have a darker and heavier sound. Mezzo-Soprani fallout somewhere inbetween. Passaggi are the smooth transition between the different vocal registers. The three main registers are the chest, mixed or middle, and head registers. There are two passaggi, the primo passaggio or transition between the chest and middle registers and the secundo passaggio or the transition between the middle and head registers. For untranined singers these passaggi are anything but smooth and they are know as "break [cont.]

Are you always supposed to feel resonance in the mask when singing?
Q. My school's vocal jazz went to a workshop, and we learned that you must always carry the resonance to "the mask" when singing. It's like when you do lip trills, you should feel that. I don't feel any tingling in my nose or mask like I do when I do a lip trill, am I doing something wrong? For the vocal jazz, I sing bass, but my voice is actually tenor. My teacher put my into bass because there were insufficient guys to take the bass part. I don't know if singing bass when you're actually a tenor makes any difference. Can anybody help please? Thanks.

A. aaa, maybe you should not worry about it? You are missing only 3 notes that very seldom turn up. Not having them will limit some of the solos you can pick but how many of them go up to Bb, B or C? Instead of worrying about those 3 notes just relax and work on the 5,000 notes you can play... the others will take care of themselves.

"Professional" or aimless whistling drives me crazy! What about you?
Q. You know what I mean. Those annoying, smug pursers of the lip that are so proud of their "operatic" whistling skill, with their trills. They whistle loud so everybody within earshot can bask in their refined, superior method of spreading their grating happiness. I love listening to a good singer, even if I don't like the song. But "virtuosic" whistling just comes across as a substitute mode of expression for a person who cannot sing worth a flip.

A. There is a condition called misophonia. Some of us are very sensitive to certain sounds. Myself, I can't stand to listen to people eat. Whistling isn't pleasant but I don't react that badly. Barking dogs make me crazy. It seems the hearing system gets wired up wrong and some sounds go directly to the part of the brain that creates anxiety instead of being processed logically.

A. 5 times a week then to the next CD is kind of rushing it. You're supposed to be doing the exercises on the CD until you feel ready to move to the next one. Such as on CD #3 you spend a month or maybe a little less on it depending on how comfortable you are with it and everyone's different so it may take you a little longer or shorter. For the tongue trills you should just put your tongue behind your top front teeth and hope it works when you try it cuz I can't explain how to do it. If you can do one or the other, it doesn't matter since they basically have the same purpose.

A. meaning: Walt Whitman wrote the poem after Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Repeated metaphorical reference is made to this issue throughout the verse. The "ship" spoken of is intended to represent the United States of America, while its "fearful trip" recalls the troubles of the American Civil War. The titular "Captain" is Lincoln himself. -wikipedia themes:

What is the difference between these pearl flutes?
Q. I really need a new flute. I've had my beginning flute for 3 years now, and i am trying to decide between the dolce pearl flute, and the elegante pearl flute. there is about a 1,000 dollar price difference between the two, and i don't understand why. the really important thing that i need in a flute is the gold lip plate. i MUST have that, or i'll break out. also, open holes and a low b foot joint would be nice. The trill keys they both come with are also a plus. but i don't understand what the difference between the two flutes is. They have everything i could possibly need, they both look EXACTLY the same, have all the features listed above, but there is 1000 dollars price difference? if someone knows the main differences between… [cont.]

A. You have a lot of questions, but don't worry I have a couple answers :) The reason for the difference in price is most likely the craftsmanship, tone, sound, and response. It sounds ridiculous because by paper, they seem the same, but don't be fowled the price difference is there for a reason. I play all the saxophones and the largest one (bari) ranges from $3,000 to $35,000 (they have so many extra notes and such better sound though) for a mouth piece, you can always buy the flute and the mouth piece separate, though it does cost a lot more, its worth the golden mouth piece. as for dark rich mouth pieces I could not agree with you more, the richer the better, but I don't know how to buy a gold rich one. I believe it goes hand in hand… [cont.]

A. Look up Literary Elements on the web. Some sites have partial lists and some explain them so you can understand what you're looking for and how to spot them. I'm reluctant to point any specific elements out for you as it's really important to understand all this on your own, especially if you're being graded on this. The site I've listed below should prove very helpful to you. Good Luck.
