Vocalise: Up 3rds, down seconds

April 11, 2009 By Ian Sidden

up-3rds-down-seconds

Here’s a simple looking vocalise that’s good for getting the voice to let go of itself. Try it slowly, but then allow yoursef some chances to flail around with it at a very fast tempo. I usually use [a], but any and all vowels can and should be used.

Enjoy!
