Principals Stamina is important in singing as in sport. Good
muscular balance will make singing for long periods easier and keep
the voice healthy. Total involvement of the body takes pressure off
the vocal apparatus, increases control and flexibility
Reinforcement of every activity in warm-ups and in rehearsal
encourages the singer to perform instinctively. Extremes are worth
visiting. Do an exercise that takes you further than you need in
the music; this will then improve control in the normal range. Tune
up not only the ears, but also muscles. Relax the jaw, neck and
shoulders and calm the mind- create balanced and comfortable
posture. Change things often, because variety improves flexibility
and the ability to respond. Harmony is at the centre of music
making, so link each aspect- posture, breathing, sound-making,
expression and communication into one art Slide 7 25 th February

/Warm-up Slide 20 30 th April Welcome Slide 21 Soprano As many of
us would know, the Soprano voice is the highest of the female
voices, and many of us would be familiar with this voice type.
Soprano singers are able to hit the high notes with such ease! A
typical Soprano vocal range would probably be from the A note below
middle C (A3) to the F or G note 2 octaves above (F6 or G6), making
it a range of 2 plus to 3 octaves. Of course, this is not to be
taken as an exact measurement but more as a rough guideline for
soprano voices, and proper breath support must be used measuring
vocal ranges during singing. The Soprano Tessitura is also usually
higher than the other female voice types, considering that the
overall vocal range is the highest among the female voices. A
Soprano would also probably transition out of her chest voice
around the E flat note above middle C (E4) and shift into her head
voice around the F sharp note one octave above the middle C (F5).
The soprano voice usually has a bright tone, and she would usually
have a strong head voice, but a relatively weaker middle voice.
Sopranos are also able to sing more high notes and sustain at a
high pitch better than a mezzo soprano can, and they are also most
often the lead role for operas or shows. Slide 22 Mezzo Soprano For
most ladies out there, you would probably belong to this voice type
as the Mezzo Soprano voice is the most common female voice type out
of the 3 main types, and it lies between the higher Soprano voice
and the lower Contralto voice. The vocal range for the Mezzo
Soprano voice would be likely between the G note below middle C
(G3) to the C note more than 2 octaves above (C6), making it also a
range of around slightly more than 2 octaves. The Mezzo Soprano
Tessitura or most comfortable vocal range lies somewhere between
the Soprano Tessitura and the Contralto Tessitura. The Mezzo would
probably transition out of chest voice around the E note just above
middle C (E4) and shift into head voice around the E note one
octave above the middle C octave (E5). Be sure to avoid the common
singing of raising your head when you are measuring your register
transitions. The Mezzo Soprano has a stronger middle voice and a
weaker head voice as compared to the Soprano. Also, the tone of the
Mezzo Soprano's voice is darker or deeper than the Soprano's. Slide
23 Contralto (alto) The Contralto voice is the lowest among the
female voices, and it is certainly more unique among females, as
the typical female voices would probably either be the Soprano or
Mezzo Soprano voices. The vocal range for the Contralto voice would
lie somewhere between the E note below middle C (E3) to the 2nd G
note above middle C (G5). This would mean that the Contralto voice
would be very close to the male tenor voice, having a similar range
in vocals, and would thus be able to handle most of the songs that
men may sing too! The Contralto would probably transition out of
chest voice around the G above middle C (G4) and shift into head
voice around the D note an octave above middle C (D5). Also, the
tone of the Contralto's voice would be darker and richer than the
Mezzo Soprano, and she would be totally comfortable in the lower
part of her voice. Slide 24 What range are you? Click below ..
