SOVT, or 'semi-occluded vocal tract' exercises, IF done with good form, can significantly improve vocal ability and vocal health. In this episode, I show you why and how you should PULL them instead of Push them, like most people do. See this episode on YouTube for video demonstrations of these exercises.

In this episode I teach vocal exercises I designed using voiced consonants and vowels to help singers AND speakers blend their chest and head registers. Doing these exercises also helps you eliminate vocal breaks, add more resonance and range and ease vocal strain. These benefits occur as we take the voice across the passagio from chest to head voice while pulling and morphing the syllables. It's weird, but it works!

Listen as I demonstrate a weird but highly effective vocal exercise that helped me get my voice back, and that I use with my students to smooth out glitchy areas in their vocal range. My thanks to vocal coach Mark Thress for sharing the scale with me, which I find best to do in this slow-motion way, morphing the syllables into each other to create flexibility and stability in the vocal apparatus.
