Patron Workshop Snippet: September Makes Huge Progress in 8 minutes!
Added 2020-03-23 18:11:43 +0000 UTCThis snippet is somewhat magical! September explained she detects an unwanted covering of the sound which gives her a less ideal quality. We go hunting for the cover and quickly find it. Her and I come up with a new approach to help fix the covering issue which explores do the oropharyngeal gradient with the vowel /uh/ then shifting the tongue position to the vowel /ae/ after the oropharyngeal brightness is added in. This immediately solved her cover and allowed her to go much brighter.
In only 8 minutes her voice completely changes by the end! I hope others can find this quick breakdown helpful. This is how voice diagnostics look from my end. Every student presents unique problems which demands unique solutions.
I'm really proud of September's awesome efforts!
warmly,

I can get the shapes more or less, but not maintain them long without getting the feeling I am working too hard and maybe damaging myself. I am certainly holding back because I'm afraid to be heard while practicing or to sound fake, which creates additional tension.

Some mild strength might need to be built but generally everyone has the capacity to do the right shape. There are just a near infinitely many number of shapes to avoid, haha.
