The key to the 7 Dimensions of Singing is breaking down the mechanical complexities of the voice into a way that’s easy to understand. The webgraph allows you to see your current vocal skills relative to each dimension. More importantly, it helps you identify which type of exercises will be needed to create a more balanced voice to maximize YOUR abilities as a singer. After learning how the webgraph works in the video below, scroll down to start working on the dimension of your voice that needs the most attention today!

Your Vocal Profile Results
According to your initial Vocal Profile assessment, the dimension of strength is the best place for you to start your journey. Strength refers to the stability and stamina of the voice. It’s an important dimension to develop because we want to have a reliable and dynamic voice for long periods of time on stage! Let’s try seemingly simple, but VERY challenging, course exercise together. When you’re ready to try it on your own, use the piano track (MP3) below.

Exercise Components
Formant: Multi | Feature: Multi | Pattern: S1 | Volume: Swell | Tempo: Slow | Variable: N/A
Need to make it easier?
Speed it up! Increasing the tempo will make it easier to manage your breathing, and will reduce the stamina required to do the original version of the exercise. (MP3 Below)
Want to make it more challenging?
Add some cardio movement! Demanding an increase of oxygen exchange during any cardio-activity (jogging in place, cycling or marching up and down stairs) creates a challenge in balancing breath control and stability of the folds required to maintain the intended pitch.
