Dealing with the benefits of 'Sirening' & how to 'Siren' correctly this week. I hear too much poor quality, counter-productive 'Sirening'.
1. Sirening: Place your tongue tip forwards & high at back off the Larynx, form an 'NG' & slide downwards & upwards throughout range QUIETLY!
2. Sirening MUST NOT be driven with too much air-pressure. Keep the volume as small & even as possible.Larynx needs to tilt thru the transition.
3. Sirening equalises the Tension of the True Vocal Folds. Regular exercising of your Siren can extend both the upper & lower range. #singing
4. Sirening shows us the Natural Rise & Fall of the Larynx & indicates the state/condition of the True Vocal Folds on a daily basis. #singing
5. Sirening is an effective, gentle warm-up exercise for the Vocal Folds. Contrary to opinion, it is NOT sufficient as a complete vocal warm-up.
