Hello friend! This is Seth Riggs.
When it comes to singing you have to be able to deliver a song in a manner that best suits the mood and style of that song, and the way you feel about that song. Your success or failure in doing this depends a great deal on your vocal technique - the way you use your voice. The better the technique - the greater the command you have over your voice and the greater the variety of material you can sing. No matter if you sing pop, musical comedy or opera there is an effective technique that let’s you sing more easily and comfortably many hours at a time, day after day. It’s called Speech Level singing technique or simply Speech Level singing. Speech Level singing means that no matter how high or low, or how loudly or softly you sing you never do anything that prevents you from singing with the same comfortable, easily produced voice you use when you speak. Even though you use a greater pitch and dynamic range when you sing nothing should feel any different in your mouth or throat; there should be no tension in your tongue, your jaw, soft palette or your neck. If you’ve taken voice lessons before or have song in a choir, your voice teacher or a choir director has probably instructed you at one time or another to give your tone more support; sing from you diaphragm; let your tongue resonate; place your tone forward; project your voice and so on. However such instructions can be confusing and even dangerous. I’ve seen it destroy many fine voices. Singing technique associated with this kind of instruction can only cause your voice to jam up and your body to become stiff and rigid. These kind of instructions have a tendency to talking result; to explain to you what singing should be rather than how to allow it to happen. With Speech Level technique you need only concern yourself with one thing when you sing – speech. Your tone production must remain consistent or as we say connected from the bottom of your range, that is your chest voice, all the way into extended upper range of your head voice, and you must coordinate that connection from a vocal posture that is exactly the same as when you speaking comfortably, that is – your speech level.
With Speech Level singing you voice is automatically supported. Your diaphragm and all you breathing muscles work the way they should to supply your vocal cords with just the right amount of air. You don’t need to push, tighten or manipulate anything to have a strong, clear and dynamically flexible voice. With speech level singing your voice is automatically balanced with just the right amount of top, middle and bottom harmonic qualities. You don’t sound muddy, dark, throaty on low tones; or spalatty, pinched or straitened on high notes. With Speech Level singing your voice only gets better as you get older. There won’t be any loss of range, quality or power but to develop speech level singing technique you need to train, or if you like most singers, retrain you voice, with a help of special exercises. On this tape I will first give you instructions on how to do the exercises properly, then I will take a singer through the exercise as an example. Finally it would be your turn to practice by yourself with the piano. Except for a couple of the exercises in this book I will always start with the men’s ranges and work up through the women’s. As I play practice scale for you I’ll be reminding you approximate starting pitches for each voice type, but that’s just what they are – approximate pitches. It’s best to come in when it feels comfortable, when you feel you can speak the pitch without having to scrape the bottom or pinch the top of your range to get it. It’s also important that you know when to stop the exercise. You must stop the exercise whenever you begin to lose speech level posture, lose the connection form chest to head that is; feel any strain or effort in production, it’s not necessary to go as high as the piano. You must try to do each exercise correctly before you proceed to the next, unless have indicated otherwise. If you’re working
