Singing easily on ALL vowels involves correct Jaw position.

Today I want to continue our discussion of correct jaw position.  In our last blog we discussed the need to sing with a dropped jaw position and never compromise the space in the back.  When you do this correctly you achieve a natural “AH” vowel.  The question is how do we sing all the other vowels while maintaining the dropped jaw?   Well, here’s how!  Begin by gently pushing your fingers in between your back molars to drop your jaw.  You now have achieved what I call the natural “AH” vowel.  Again, you should feel a yawning sensation.  If you want to sing an “OH” or “OO” vowel you need to simply use your lips without closing or moving your jaw.  Now, again go back to the natural “AH” position.  Move your tongue slightly up and forward to sing an “AYE” or “E” vowel sound.   Lips and Tongue are what we call our Articulators and that is exactly and only what you should use to form vowels. Let us help you master the correct usage of your jaw and sing effortlessly on all vowels in all parts of your range.  Contact us to get started on fixing the things that frustrate you!
