Vocal Exercises: Tuesday 9th September 2014: Introduction

Tuesday 9th September 2014
Introduction 


HELLO! 

My name is Somer Jones and I preparing to audition for a West End play that my agent as secured for me. I will have to sing for this audition but I am not a trained singer and am currently going through some technique classes every week to work on preparing my voice! I will be keeping a diary and today I am introducing my diary which is also a How-To guide on preparing your voice with vocal exercises, looking after your voice and every necessity you will need when it comes to singing! I will be giving you all the interesting and important information I learn every week. 

Through the exploration of vocal exercises I will be teaching you what I have personally found useful when maintaing and developing my voice. These may be my own regimes, things I have learnt from classes or some research I have completed through the internet. 

Hopefully we will both learn something through understanding the voice and further our knowledge and develop a wide repertoire of knowledge (which is always useful!). 

In order to fully understand how vocal exercises can contribute to the development and maintenance of vocal technique, I will be including the following:
  • Warming Up (Physically)
  • Warming Up (Vocally) 
  • Vocal Technique One: Engaging the Diaphragm 
  • Vocal Technique Two: Vowel Formation, Articulation, Diction and Clarity Development
  • Vocal Technique Three: Flexibility, Tone and Range Development 
  • Vocal Technique Four: Breath Control
  • Vocal Technique Five: Projection Development
  • Applying Techniques to an Audition Song
Each blog entry will include various video clips of me explaining exercises, performing exercises and my thoughts on them. 

I think this will be a great learning curve for me and you to improve our singing with the correct exercises and develop it further. I'm sure they'll be some fun ahead... 

Good Luck, 

Somer x
