Hello Charmaine,

Thank you so much for these courses! I can really feel my voice improving! I have some difficulty with the go-no exercise though. I can’t seem to be able to maintain the pharyngeal resonance as I go down the scale. Eg. When I sing “go go go no no no” it’s all fine but when I go down the scale with no——— the resonance area drops as the scale drops. I feel raspiness and tension in my throat and I can’t bring the resonance back into pharyngeal area. I wonder if you have any tips on this?

Many thanks!
Janet

Hmm, it’s hard to say what’s happening in your voice without hearing you sing the exercise. But it sounds like it’s dropping into too much chest voice as you go down—try putting your fingers on your nose and really aim to keep the sound focused in that pharyngeal area as you move through the scale!

I’ve finished this course and am now going through the year long workout schedule you put together. Even though I’m doing my exercises every week along with recording my voice and listening back, I often feel like I haven’t improved much at all. But in going back to this workout today and looking at my workbook notes, I’m so encouraged…. a couple of the keys for the song applications were way too high for me previously. But today I was able to sing in those same keys with so much ease! The notes didn’t feel too high. I was in total control of my voice and confident moving throughout my resonators! So cool! Could it be that this stuff is actually working? Lol

Haha I hear ya! Sometimes it feels like there isn’t progress, but then we just have to look back at where we came from! Sounds like there ARE some good things happening in your voice—YAY!

Why does song #2 feel so much harder than the rest? 🥴

Charmaine Brown October 28, 2021

It all depends on what the lyric is and how the melodic phrase moves! Some consonants/vowels are more challenging than others—but that’s what these lessons are here to help with!

CHARMAINE! Can I just say I am so incredibly grateful for you and this course!!!! I’m seeing it.. little glimpses of what my voice WILL be if I keep up this process. Yes. It takes work, but having the tools is what I’ve been wanting for so long. I have searched for something like this for years… I always wanted to do more with my voice but didn’t know how to get there. I just can’t even begin to thank you for developing this course. It is packed full of value. So much value! This is revelatory. Thank you thank you thank you. May the Lord bless you in everything that you do!!

Charmaine Brown October 8, 2021

Wow Stephanie! I’m so glad that you are finally seeing what you have been hoping for! Believing for more for you in the months to come!

Hi Charmaine, I’m having trouble with the mm to mah let go excercise. when I release in the mah part and go down the scale I tend to lose my consistency on the way down. So it feels i’m having nice bright quality at the top of the scale and gradually lose it and clunk into full chest voice on the lowest note. What should I be mindful of during the way down?

Charmaine Brown September 5, 2021

The thing to be mindful of is to keep the bright pharyngeal in your voice all the way down the scale. Also—when you open up into the MUH at the top, make sure to drop your jaw and make sure you already have a good amount of chest resonance engaged, so that you don’t have to “add” it or clunk into it on the way down.
