Your Vocal Profile Results
According to your initial Vocal Profile assessment, the dimension of intonation is the best place for you to start your journey. Intonation is just a fancy word for the control of pitch, referring to the ability accurately move from one note to another. This dimension is important to not only sing in tune with a melody, but also helps develop a stronger sense for harmonies. Let’s explore a unique exercise together in the video, where you can improve your skills for intonation right away. Be sure to use the piano track (MP3) below as well, so that you can practice whenever you’re up for a challenge!

Need to make it easier?
Slow the exercise down! The slower the tempo is, the more challenging it becomes to manage breathing. However, this will allow more time to make necessary adjustments to the pitches within the exercise. (MP3 Below)
Want to make it more challenging?
Try laying down on a hard surface. Laying down while vocalizing immediately raises awareness in terms of how you are spending your air and helps to deny the assistance of any unwanted muscle tension and activity when focusing on desired pitches.
