Скачать или смотреть Balancing a Pressed Chest Voice

One of the issues that I see commonly in the bottom of the voice is having a "pressed" chest voice. It's when the vocal cords are coming together a little bit too forcefully.

There is usually some extrinsic muscle tension happening and it's causing you to squeeze and force the vocal cords together a little too hard.

This cuts off your airflow and makes it more difficult to get through the middle to the top of your voice, often causing a flip!

It can feel like you "grab" or "dump" into the bottom when approaching it from higher notes.

What do we need? Balance.

What gives us a balance? A balance of muscle and airflow.

We need to add airflow and we need to reduce a little bit of that squeeze. We want to get the vocal cords vibrating more optimally so that we're not getting a breathy sound, but we're also not getting that squeezed press sound either.

Try these exercises in the video!
Descending 5-3-1 on FOO and FUH
Descending 5-4-3-2-1 on HUH
Descending 8-5-3-1 on Foo
Descending 8-5-3-1 on HMUH or HMOU with a cry, going towards breathy, and not dumping into the bottom

Descending scales help us increase airflow and the more closed vowels like OO help us not to grab or dump into the bottom.

Let me know how it goes in the comments!
