Normally we think about building pressure with support muscles in our belly and back. As we build pressure, we are able to sustain higher pitches. In contrast, our lowest notes are more about releasing air. It’s actually fairly common for singers to have trouble letting go of their support muscles while trying to sing lower pitches.

Our vocal tract has to be very relaxed in order to sing lower notes as well, so give your voice some time to decompress first. I recommend singing early in the morning or after a nap. Make sure to stretch for a bit, gently massage your throat and shoulders, and get into a comfortable position.

Fogging Mirror Breath Exercise

First imagine you are about to fog a mirror. Use a Ha sound to create slower, warmer air. Try to keep a consistent stream of air as if you are singing a single pitch.

‘Mah’ 3-1

The next strategy is using an M or an N to get bright high buzzy resonance in your sound. This may seem counterintuitive, but our tendency when trying to hit lower notes is to squeeze our chin into our throat or sometimes pull our tongue down to artificially lower the larynx. These motions can lock our vocal mechanism. Instead, use the bright resonance that these consonants produce in our face to help sustain and stabilize the pitch. Place a hand on your chest as you do this next exercise to feel for sympathetic vibration in your ribcage. If you feel lots of buzz here, then this is a sign that you are doing it right!

Slide down exercise (‘Yah’ 5-1)

Once you have relaxed breath support and lots of the high resonance buzz the last thing is to practice releasing down to a lower pitch. When we sing the syllable “yah” we get some of that bright resonance from the ee vowel, which we can attempt to keep active and open for our more open Ah at the end of the syllable. This will create an even smoother and rounder tone than the buzz we get from only the mask. It’s a little harder though, so if this is giving you trouble, then just continue using Mah or Nah instead until you get more vibration.

Practice creating the buzz with the first pitch and then releasing your breath support down to our lower pitch. Okay now try singing along through this exercise to see how low you can go. I will sing along for a few and then drop out so you can practice on your own. Just remember that there is a limit to our range and some of these notes may simply be too low for you. If you feel like you are pressing, forcing, or can barely sustain a sound, then you know you have hit the bottom. Be careful not to over do it.

Tip#1: Breath in through an open Ah shape
Tip#2: Release your air with a “Ha” for the lower note
