One of the biggest lies singers suffer from believing is that there’s something inherently wrong with your voice because you’re struggling with cracking or your voice making abrupt transitions where you want them to be smooth.
There are tons of factors that affect why this may be happening, but an understanding of vowels and your vocal tract shape goes a long way in helping you navigate tricky places.
In this video, I’m going to break down two vowels that are major culprits in causing vocal squeeze and cracking — [i]/ee and [u]/oo.
In upcoming videos, I’ll tell you about vowels that almost always help with thicker fold modes in the higher notes, as well as other things to check like body use and breath management if you’re struggling with abrupt vocal breaks where you’re wanting the register to remain consistent.
