Lip Trills

Lips trills like tongue trills have a specific use in vocal exercises, albeit limited in efficacy due to not dealing with the size and shape of vowels.

Lip trills can help us hear and feel how steady the air is moving.

If we are unable to keep a lip trill going, then there is an issue with the air flow that indicates muscular dysfunction. The area can be pinpointed depending on where the sputtering and stopping happens in the course of the exercise.

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!
