A chant for voice is where any vocal lesson begins. She, like a physical exercise, develops the vocal cords, prepares them for further loads, awakens. Neglecting such a warm-up can lead to big problems that will be associated with the voice and the ability to sing. In this article we will consider several vocal exercises that every vocalist needs to know and sing.
Singing preparation
Before you start warming up, you need to take a suitable pose. In no case do not sing while sitting, bending over, or all the more, with your legs pressed to your chest. Air should circulate freely through the whole body, muscles should be relaxed, thoughts free. In this state, any chant for voice will perfectly warm up the ligaments, prepare them for new high (or low) notes that you will have to take in serious works.
Resonator workouts
So, for starters, a little rush. Imagine that a large rope passes through the whole body and reaches the ceiling with its end. Sound should come out along it, smoothly and evenly. Such a chant for voice is designed for the development of resonators: upper and lower. The first is located in the nose, and the second is located in the chest area. If you sing bass all the time, it will be logical to develop the lower resonator. If your voice is soprano and higher, then work through the upper registers.
Also, our vocal cords are well developed by a chant for voice called "vacuum cleaner". For a few minutes, utter a sound that is a cross between “c” and “f”. First, take a deep breath, and then begin to bleed air through your mouth, making a similar sound. Imagine water flowing out of your mouth evenly and calmly.
Vocal exercises
Now we will consider vocal, based on the melody and frets singing for voice. The words of the first of them are well known to all: "Mi-Me-Ma-Mo-Mu." They will repeat these syllables on a single note, each time increasing it by a half tone. Start with the lowest sound that is available in the range of your voice. Gradually, you will reach the top indicator. In order for the exercise to become more effective, return to all sung notes in the same way down.
Many exercises for singing a voice are based on a quart or quint scale, which begins with the tonic step of a major fret. If only four steps are chanted, then most often the word “MI” is stretched. The first four notes (upward movement) have the syllable “mi”, when we go down to the tonic with our voice, we sing the syllable “I”. The sound “mi-i” can be replaced by “zi-ma” and any other combination of syllables.
Most often, quint chants begin to sing from the fifth step of a major fret, going down to the tonic. One of the words is “my homeland”, where each syllable corresponds to its own note. Gradually, such a chant can increase your mood by half a ton or lower. Similarly to the previous case, the words “my homeland” can be replaced by any other set of syllables.
