To help you better understand their voice workout, Alex and Elina have shared their workout on The Advocacy for Neuroacanthocytosis Patients' newly launched YouTube channel. Check it out here: their 4-minute video!
If you can’t access the video, use these easy-to-follow steps for any daily voice workout:
- Clear your throat. Have a glass of water handy, maybe with a straw.
- Take a deep breath and say /AAAAAAAA/ for as long and as LOUD as you can.
- Take a deep breath, start from your comfortable pitch, and go as high as you can for just 5 seconds. Don't forget to be LOUD!
- Take another deep breath, start from your comfortable pitch and go as low as you can for just 5 seconds. Be even LOUDER!
- Repeat the above 5 times.
You may find that reading is your thing. Poetry reading could be enjoyable. Alex certainly enjoys it. Consider starting with poems you know by heart and recite them as LOUD as you can.
A couple of Alex’s favourites: Macavity the mystery cat, The owl and the pussy cat.
Or you could even try Alex’s own book, Coco the Pussycat!
Elina and Alex have a lot more to share, and they’ve already lined up more tips and tricks. Don’t forget to like and share the new video with anyone who it may be of interest to.
So, stay tuned, keep practising every day, and come back for more!
Please note: the concept of Loudness as a useful intensive voice workout is from a very well researched program called Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD) and you can find more information on www.lsvtglobal.com.
