Take A Minute To Sing Episode 3: Singing On Pitch

Episode notes:

You CAN learn to sing on pitch
The vast majority of people who think they are “tone-deaf” are NOT. (read the book “Musicopholia” by famed Dr. Oliver Sachs)
Practice speaking the word “Hey!” as if you are calling out someone across the room. Project, but don’t scream. This teaches you how to bring your vocal cords together correctly.
Rehearse this same exercise by matching a pitch on piano or guitar. Slide your voice QUICKLY to note and trust your instincts.
Trust your ear to hear whether the note is correct. If not, decide if it is too low or too high.
If you are still having trouble, touch your index finger lightly on your adam’s apple (larynx) and allow it to move gently, but never swallowed while singing.
Repeat this vocal exercise several times a day while holding the note out and relaxing your throat open.
