Falling Flat? A Quick Fix

A vocal coach can help you learn to sing and embrace your voice

Sometimes our notes go a bit 'off' and that's OK! Here's a quick fix to help you nail the center of your pitches

It’s something all singers have to confront at some point…the dreaded Falling FLAT.Β I know the feeling well! When I was learning to sing I hit my fair share of flat notes – you know the ones – they just sound and feel OFF…

Β 

But I have some tried-and-true tips and tricks (say that 5x fast!) that will help you get right into the center of ALL your notes!

Β 

How to HIT that CENTER

Β 

#1 Support Your Breath

Β 

We often go flat because we’re not controlling our breath on the EXHALE (singing).Β When there’s a lot of breath expelled at an uncontrolled pace, it can make the note really heavy and fall off pitch.

Β 

Try this: Visualize being on a tight rope and making the breath as steady as possible.Β 

Β 

You can also try exhaling on a shush sound to steady the breath, and then open up your mouth and hold out the actual pitch you want to hit.Β 

Β 

#2: Open Your Mouth

Β 

Give your notes more room. It’s easier to hear yourself when the sound is outside of your head!Β When singers start out, they’re not super comfy opening up their mouths – mainly because they become louder = more vulnerable (you know the drill).Β 

Β 

I promise with practice this will get easier and the more you open your mouth, the more you’ll hit that bullseye and lock onto your pitches.Β 

Β 

#3: Lift Your Soft Palate

Β 

Try this:Β Imagine smiling inside your mouth.Β Show your front teeth, and (mirror check!) notice a bit of scrunch in your face.Β This position will help β€œlift up the note”!
