Second Day The second day is where I started on breath control and determining which muscles are used for breathing and how to become aware and control them better. This was done by saying "Ess" but in varying intensities. E.g.:
SSSSSSSSSSSS
and then the other way around:
SSSSSSSSSSSS
Finally the difficult one:
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Then we did some work on easy onset vowels. A non-easy onset vowel is where you bang your vocal cords together for emphasis, like when you say the "I" in "I didn't do that". This are very harsh and masculine sounding. An easy onset vowel is the sound you get from saying "Ha" as in "Hampshire" but with the "H" at the beginning. Difficult at first, but easier with practise. |
