The three
basic principles are the most basic to achieve a healthy singing-
and speaking technique, and therefore the most important to get a
hold of. When you observe them, you can reach all notes within the
range of your voice. You will avoid hoarseness, you can make long
phrases, and you will get clarity and power in your voice.
1.
Open throat
The 1. basic principle is about not activating the constrictors and
thereby avoid constrictions around the vocal cords, which need space
to stretch for the high notes and to relaxe on the low notes.
2.
Support
The 2. basic principle is about counteracting the erge of the diaphragm
to let all the air out that you’ve inhaled. The diaphragm is
a muscle which automatically breathe for us. But in singing you must
be able to control the exhalation, meaning holding back the breath.
You do this with the help of the muscle groups in the stomach, the
back and the loin, which can keep the ribs outwards and the diaphragm
down.
The cooperation between these muscles is called support.
3.
Pretuded jaw and tensions of the lips
The 3. basic principle is about learning how to make the vowels with
the tongue, so it decreases in the jaw and in the lips. You must see
to that the lower jaw is always pulled inwards compared to the upper
jaw
