Systematic Challenges and Interventions
Respiration
Inhalation
Ribs locked or abs locked
Body is not aligned
Overbreathing (too much air for phrase)
Audible inhales (either tight at glottis or pharynx)
Not getting enough breath
Interventions
Breathing out before new inhale
Resisted breath (pharyngeal release, feel expansion, appropriate air)
Resistance bands around chest and abdomen
Re-aligning body - exploring extremes, stretches
Bosu ball/balancing
Squatting
Panting - extreme of movement
Ribcage float/spinal flexibility - snaking
Emotional cues - trying different kinds of breaths
Exploring extremes - locking ribs vs. abs
Massaging solar plexus
Pelvic floor tight
Exhalation
Interventions
SOVTs - balance, not collapsing, building flow and/or resistance
Sustained unvoiced to voiced - messa di voce
Breath suspension before singing
Position change (tabletop, chair, floor)
Overblowing
Immediate ribcage collapse
Abdominal locking
Holding in breath / not using enough breath
Awareness of the rest of the body
Phonation
Challenges
Pressing
Breathy
Onset - over or under adducted
Structural challenges (injuries, swelling, dehydration)
Lack of flexibility
Not allowing laryngeal tilt
Over-engagement of extrinsic muscles of larynx
Interventions
SOVTs
Fry
Inhalation phonation
Glottal attacks for breathy
Fake hs for pressed
Sob/cry
Resonance
Challenges
Hypo/hypernasal (sticky palate)
Pharyngeal constriction
Tongue rigidity/tongue depression/lack of control
Tongue/jaw independence
Jaw rigidity/overopening
Laryngeal depression or elevation inappropriate to style
Lips tight or under engaged
Vowel modification - active vs. passive vowel migration
Articulation
Registration
Challenges
Weak/underdeveloped chest or head
Obvious flipping or lack of ability to flip - laryngeal rigidity or lack of stability
Lack of independence between registration and resonance (can't find bright M2 or warm M1)
Flexible registration/smooth connection
Interventions
Slides/siren
Same note messa di voce
Character voices/emotions/animal sounds
Sob/cry/moan
Wobbles/yodels
