Feeding Air To the Tone

The sensation of feeding air to the tone refers to a steady flow of air.

We neither push air nor hold it back, but experience the vocal and breathing muscles being in sync.

The vocal muscles are in charge, and the breathing muscles will happily respond. We will feel like we are supplying to the tone a steady stream of mental energy and excited air set in motion by the vocal muscles. The tone stays alive with appropriate movements, given the emotional needs of text and music.

Allen Rascoe

Allen has been enjoying singing since he was a little kid. He officially studied voice at ECU and USC. However, he ran into some vocal trouble. The search for healing led him to the studio of Dr. Joel Ewing, and into the world of functional vocal mechanics. Allen has explored vocal truth, and thus highly recommends the writings of E-Herbert Caesari, Cornelius Reid, and William Vennard. He is blessed to invite and accompany folks on the journey towards vocal wellbeing. The adventure awaits!
