OPEN UP! Opening Up the Vocal Tract and Vocal Exercises

Opening the vocal track is a little more involved that you may think because it's more than just an open throat. Unlike most woodwind instruments, the inside of your mouth is in constant motion when you create sounds. You can control and move your lips, tongue, the lower part of your jaw, the tissue at the back of the throat, your soft palate, and the position of the larynx. Think about it this way. You are going to change the shape of your mouth and the inside of your mouth to form different sounds. In order to make sure everything is free of tension, I'll show you some exercises to help you open up your vocal tract and free your voice.

This video contains leveled exercises. For the full singalong exercises, visit my Patreon Page.
