Description:
Tone will vary throughout your range. We want consistently beautiful tone throughout our whole range. This is why it’s so important to use vocal exercises that cover a wide range: so you’re not neglecting any portion of your range, and you’re regularly practicing that coordination to keep a pretty consistent tone. Along with maintaining good breath support and adequate cord compression, a huge factor that’s often not intuitive for beginning singers is vowel modification.
