Articulation Exercise
Articulation - This is how you use your voice to pronounce your notes, for example long, smooth notes (legato) and short, sharp notes (staccato).
Exercises - Singing scales with only staccato notes whilst pronouncing "Ha". Making sure that these are short and sharp, after singing this, sing legato notes on a scale. Making sure that it is just one continuous note.
Applying different styles - When singing these scales, sing them at the bottom of your range, then middle followed by the top. This is because it will also help to expand your range by helping you sing both lower and higher than where you can comfortably sing now, over time you should notice that you find it easier to sing at different pitches and therefore can continue to expand your range further. Try singing these scales using different sounds, for example "ee", "ah" and "oo" , this helps your voice to warm up before singing a song. This is because your voice is getting used to making different sounds rather than just one sound. Another way to develop this is to sing these using different dynamics, this then also improves projection.
