YOUR REAL VOICE - the vocal ezine for real people

The Green Lady Exercise

Think "The Wizard of Oz" for this one.  Remember the Wicked Witch with the green face?  Thanks to actress Margaret Hamilton for giving a great example to singers everywhere.  Imagine the sound of her saying "I'll get you my pretty" in the fabulously obnoxious voice of hers!  Now imitate that sound as closely as you can.  Don't strain to do it.  Just have fun imitating the Witch.  Notice where you feel your voice resonate when doing the Wicked Witch?  Now, using the same kind of aim, but less obnoxious a sound, sing something easy into the same spot to resonate it and notice if it's slightly vocally easier to make more sound and takes less physical effort to do.  Since I mention a lot that singing "forward" in the face and mouth is a good thing, pick a song that you know well and practice singing it as the Wicked Witch.  Then sing it in your regular vocal sound.  Does it feel better and easier now?  It should.
