i been practicing my scales lately, also tried the whisper siren

but resonance is tricky. i do the big dog/little dog thing, but i'm not quite sure i'm doing it right.

as for vowels, uh??

they say your tongue should be higher, like you should say "keeey" and say "toward" with your tongue up there. but it can't be rigid and you have to find a place for your other vowels? like, just normal but higher tongue? i do not physically grasp a lot of this stuff

the best kind of exercise i've found so far is the stuff that distinguishes between back and front tongue muscles. like keeping the "ng" of "sing" going while you move your tongue about

it's the stuff like that, that helps you physically conceive what you're doing, that seems to actually help

because as it is, i can't seem to change pitch on command, even the amount that talking would usually do? like "try to reach a c3" confuses me and i'm trapped in monotone

pitch changing should be the easy part but it's like being conscious of how you walk and suddenly not knowing how you do it

part of the reason i've been talking so much about tmbg lately is cause Won't You Come With Me To Music Jail has been my practice scales

it's like
up up up up up UP down plateau

anyways i care about pitch the least but it feels like a starting point where i can get a grasp on voice control

BIG DOG/little dog, i really don't think is accomplishing anything, i suspect i'm not doing it correctly

@heatherhorns_lite big dog little dog felt really effective for me, as a way to get accustomed to feeling the changes in larynx position and holding it high while speaking
