Morning Star Voices also known as MSV is a family group, which initially started in 1996. This group of anointed singers are committed to sharing the Gospel through Praise and Worship. MSV was inactive, as a group, for a few years, but started again with new zeal and additional members, after the passing away of the late Rev. Dr. Harold Jackman, grandfather to most of the members. MSV is not only blessed with one of Toronto's best Producers and Sound Engineers, Pearry Caprietta, but also consists of talented songwriters and skilled musicians who have played for artists such as Karen Clarke, Toronto Mass Choir, The Campbell Sisters, George Banton, and many more. The song writers of MSV have a variety of styles; from Caribbean, Latin American to Contemporary Gospel... Please visit http://www.ourchurch.com/member/m/msvoices/ for more info.

Vocal Tip # 4 - Breathe control

2006-12-11T19:10:00.001-05:00

Okay! You're back! Now you are ready to start your warm-ups but you don't know how to breath properly as of yet.

Breathing is the most important element in singing. In order to control your voice you have to put out exactly the amount of breath you need for the sound you want.

Breathing Exercises

The following exercise may make you feel tired at first, do keep at it as you will begin to notice that it takes less effort to breath, less energy is used when breathing plus it helps you learn to co-ordinate the diaphragm and abdominal muscles when breathing.

To find out if you are breathing correctly, place a hand on your belly button. This area should expand first when you breathe in and then spread upwards until your chest is expanded (don't lift the shoulders or push the stomach out). If you feel you are not breathing properly, practice the following exercise.

Lay flat on your back.

Place your hands on your waist, fingers pointing towards your belly button.

Focus on filling up your stomach from the bottom to the top taking a slow deep breath. (The aim is not to fill yourself to bursting but to inhale enough air so that you can feel the difference between a shallow breath taken when breathing from the chest).

You should feel your stomach rise and your hands being raised gently up and outward until you feel your chest expanding. The expansion is not only at the front of the body but also to the sides and back as well.

Breath out slowly to a count of 5

Repeat the exercise 10 times

Practice this daily until you master it.

Try the following exercise to help increase breath control - Count on one breath singing each number out loud. using one breath at any comfortable pitch. Start with a small number like 5 or 10 and increase this gradually until you can manage 25 or more without straining, tensing or running out of breath.

Bible verse of the Week

2006-12-11T19:08:00.000-05:00

Matthew 6:33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you."

Vocal Tip # 3 - Warm up please !

2006-11-26T18:56:00.001-05:00

Warming up is very critical to a great performance. You must warm up your muscles. Singers are very much like athletes. Like an Athlete, always make sure you are properly warmed up and prepared both mentally and physically before you begin to sing. If you were to run a hundred metres without warming up, you would probably pull a muscle. Same with singing. Gently, warm up your voice and think positive thoughts before you begin.

A rule of thumb is to do at least 20 minutes of vocal exercises. If you perform a lot, it could take less time. If you perform infrequently, warm up longer. Otherwise you warm up on your audience or, worse, you find congestion, range weakness or other problems on stage rather than in the privacy of your home -- where you can work to overcome them.

You go to hit a note… and a different one comes out! Your delicate little vocal folds were not made to go from 0 to 60 in three seconds. You must stretch them to their full range gently and gradually!

Vocal Tip # 2 - Throat clearing is harmful?

2006-11-18T13:37:00.000-05:00

When you clear your throat you ‘scrape’ the mucous off the mucous membranes of the vocal cords. It is not damaging to clear your throat. It can be a function of vital importance if mucous is entering the windpipe, but it might irritate the mucous membrane if you do it too often and too vigorously.

Instead of clearing your throat to clear mucous let it remain there until it has covered the dry spots on the membrane. Go ahead and use your voice and disregard the woolly sound. Start by humming or speaking, carefully at first, and soon the rapid vibrations of the vocal cords will shake loose the excess mucous.

There is another safe way of making excess mucous disappear. Closing your mouth, and the nasal passage (or block the nose) and at the same time suck inwards and swallow. This creates a partial vacuum that sucks the excess mucous off the vocal cords

Take a sip of water (not too cold nor too hot)

A very gentle clearing (almost unvoiced)

Vocal Tip #1 - Drink lots of Water

2006-11-13T14:39:00.000-05:00

Your voice is an instrument that must last you a lifetime. It needs care! The smallest irritation and swelling of the surface of the vocal chords can cause the sound produced to change.

Drinking lots of H2O is one of the most important vocal tips. Your vocal cords need to be hydrated. The vocal folds are one of the last tissues in your body to become fully hydrated. Drink at least 6 - 8 glasses of water per day and you will experience a tremendous difference vocally.
