WHAT IS YOUR VICAL RANGE?
The following are the general vocal ranges associated with each voice type using scientific pitch notation where middle C is written as C4. Some singers within these voice types may be able to sing somewhat higher or lower:[1]
LET’S TALK JAW...
Your jaw is an essential part of singing. Did you know that singing is not about dropping the bottom jaw. It is about lifting from the upper jaw (like a yawn or biting into an apple.) Rule of thumb let your bottom jaw be a follower not a leader.

Learn to Sing Without Vocal Strain With These Tips:
SPEAK IT, SING IT!
When learning a new song, speak the words first and make sure your mouth positions are frontal. Where is the breath, placement, phrasing? Speak it a second time as if it is a monologue. Acknowledge what the song is about and who you are speaking to. Let yourself be that character.
THE EVOLVING VOICE:
A Musical Sensation is proud to be asked to review a proposal for a new book. The Evolving Voice by Karen Brunssen. Best of luck to her!
Proper positions around the mouth are essential to helping with clear and precise diction. Keep your vowels frontal and do not pull back the corners of the lips. Follow this rule and singers will have an easier time holding notes and being understood to the audiences every word.
Live performances can have mishaps. Especially sound. Although we appreciate and give much credit to our technical crew, problems happen. The sound guy can “make you or break you.” Never rely on your ear piece or monitor. Singing is using your facial and abdominal muscles. If the sound goes out I would suggest to follow your vocal technique and placement and trust yourself!
