The Two Methods

As you may already know, there are two main methods of vocal instruction available to singers these days.

The first method is classical, and is taught by classical vocal teachers. There are many variations of this method, which employ slightly different methods of breathing. In the end, this is the basis:

The technique is based on breath control and support.

This is the process.

1. You would take a breath using a controlled stream of air to create an even sound.

2. The breath then passes through your windpipe where the tone is created, and is sent into your resonating cavities located in your head and face.

3. The resonating cavities will then amplify the tone before sending it out of your mouth.

This method states that if the breath is not taken and controlled properly with the diaphragm and surrounding muscles, the tone will come out poorly.

It says if you do take your breath properly and have proper support and tone placement, you will have a beautiful, even sounding voice, with a smooth passage into the high notes.

It talks about the importance of developing a consistent technique. This is done by learning to control your body mechanism, and can only be done with practice. Once you find what works, you can carry it to different styles of music.

The classical method also employs a few different principles when teaching good technique.

The first of course is proper breathing,
Second is breath support from the diaphragm,
Third is singing with an open throat,
Fourth is proper tone placement in the resonating cavities,
And fifth is resonance.

This method gives a lot of weight to keeping an open throat while singing. An open throat means that your breath and tone can flow freely into your resonating chambers without interruption, making singing more comfortable.

You can keep an open throat when singing by learning to lower your larynx, or voice box, like you are about to yawn.

The second method is the Vocal Register method.

First, you must understand that this method like the other one uses a few different principles.

This technique employs the use of vocal registers, and is based on the different coordination’s the vocal cords take on when singing in these different registers.

A vocal register is defined by this method as a group of notes close together using the same vocal cord structure.

Registers in this method are divided by bridges, or in the words of the other method, the passagio. This method teaches the student to smooth out the bridges, without a sudden break into the next “voice”, or register.

This method is based upon the concept of “speech level singing.” It is said that like the other method, the technique can be applied to any style of music.

The vocal register method strongly discourages any sort of vocal tension. It states that the other method creates tension to begin with, and then tries to make you take it away. It uses exercises and scales that don’t allow you to use any tension in the first place.

This method employs these basic principles when teaching good technique:

1.You have to realize the vocal registers, and be aware of the different structures the vocal cords take up while singing in them.

2. You have to learn how to zip up the vocal cords and how to use less breath to reach the next highest register.

3. You have to realize where the bridges are and work to erase the breaks people experience when they go through them.

4. Understand how the sound resonates in each register.

5. You have to regularly practice a "vocal workout" involving scales and exercises made up of some very different sounds then traditional vowel and consonant combinations . .

You can use whichever method of vocal instruction you choose, but it's extremely important to learn how to use it properly and to it's fullest extent.
