Sing into
Your Hand
This is a great one for opening your throat and relaxing it at the same
time. Open your mouth and say “ahh.” Place your palm
completely over your open mouth so that your hand is “sealed” around
your mouth. Now sing an “ahh” on a note somewhere in the middle
of your range into the palm of your hand. The sound waves will
come forward into the palm of your hand, then bounce off your palm and
head back into the back of your throat. Do this a few times and
you will be able to feel the sound waves bounce back and open up the
back of your throat. The throat opens as an automatic response
and relaxes into the perfect shape for exactly what you are
singing. This whole reaction is actually your nervous system
doing its job to find the most efficient way to do something, in this
case singing in a relaxed position. If your nervous systems
doesn’t ever get a chance to feel its own results, it can’t adjust or
relax accurately. This exercise aims that sound right back at the
nerve centers in the throat, allowing them to respond, adjust and relax
without you having to guess what to relax or put any effort into
it. This is a great exercise to do often. Try it every day
for a week with a song your are working on and notice as your throat
gets more relaxed and the singing gets easier over time.
