The Power of Pressure - 008

Today’s episode is all about the magic of Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises and how they have changed my singing for the better. So what are SOVT’s? As the name implies, they are vocal exercises that somehow obstruct the airway. This could be anything from pursing the lips to a short piece of plastic that you hold in your mouth. Obstructing the airway helps to create additional pressure in the mouth. This build up of oral pressure above the vocal cords works to counter the increasing air pressure below the vocal cords. This means that the vocal cords have a helping hand in resisting the air from below, and don’t have to use unnecessary tension to handle the sudden gusts of pressure. iSingMag - https://www.isingmag.com/semi-occluded-vocal-tract-exercises/ CIVC - https://www.chicagovoicecare.com/
