Singing 101: Understanding The First Principles of Vocals by Perfect Mcsnup.

ReHearsal House Recording Artistry Course Admissions Is On.

For Most Vocal Lessons Enthusiasts, The very first challenge is the lack of awareness of the Basic Principles!

In a Previous Post, we discussed the Open Throat Singing Principle, there's need to take it one step further! 

There are three basic Principles in Singing:

1. Open Throat: Diaphragmatic Singing.

2. Support

3. Avoiding The Lip-Jaw Tensions.

It's good to note that Singing is an entirely Natural Process, this therefore suggests that these three Principles are in fact connected. For instance a Test of Diaphragmatic Singing is Support!

In this Discussion today, we want to talk about the Open Throat Singing Principle further again. Like already mentioned, most of the challenge is in the lack of awareness that one is observing or not observing this first principle of singing! In the Absence of this awareness, what the may the vocalist do? For some it is a sheer keep singing guessing that, so long as you're producing sound, then you must be following the principle of open Throat. But, the persons who do not follow the principle, also produce sounds!

True that Tone Production is a fundamental characteristic of the Voice as an Instrument, yet Tone Production does not necessarily imply, proper performance, for instance a dis-tuned Guitar produces tone, yet we still need to Tune it if we are going to get any proper performance! Thus, Production of Tones, do not mean, the principle of Diaphragmatic Singing is followed, what then is the yardstick parameters for judging whether we are really singing from the Diaphragm or Not? Are there no ways we may know, given that we cannot exactly "see" the vocal cords, nor the diaphragm in the course of the singing process...
