Hi Ariella, I wondered if you could answer a question for me? Is there a reason why some of the exercises are so much faster than others? Does it help “free up” the sound when you sing the exercises quickly? Cheers, Elizabeth

Elizabeth,
That is exactly the reason.  When you sing fast you just have to let go.  Often times when we concentrate on each note we can get “stuck” and not release.  It is good to sing slowly as well so that you check yourself and become really aware of your sounds, but to let go and really try and release your sound into speed is important as well.  Thinking of the vocalize as one cycle, phrase or arc  as opposed to freezing on every individual note.  I do the same type of alternating when I warm up.

Hope that helps a bit!
