Technique Tips 04:50
- Softer is better. Just loud enough to hold the vocal cords together. If you feel them break, do it a slightly harder, but not much harder. Softer, quieter, relaxed is better than harder, louder, tense.
- Don’t let vocal cords crack
- Feels like a yawn at the top if you maintain the dopey sound
- I recommend you record yourself with your phone, computer, mp3 recorder, etc.
