Don’t settle for pressure in your singing, learn about Jaw tension.

At JVS we see jaw tension hindering singers natural beautiful sound and want to help you eliminate the incorrect usage of your jaw.  First of all, your jaw needs to be dropped from the back more than the front.  An easy way to achieve this is to take your index fingers, place them on your cheeks where your back molars are located and gently push in.  This allows the back of the jaw to drop open.  If done correctly you should feel a slight yawning sensation.  This is the perfect position of your jaw and the key to maintaining the opening you need to eliminate tension.  Vocal science has proven that when we drop the back of the jaw, our throats open.  Try singing any one of your songs or arias with your fingers in this position.  You will quickly discover how often you close or compromise that space when singing.  We feel this is one of the biggest problems facing ALL singers today!
