As we move from the second floor of the vocal home to the first floor, we feel as if we are walking down the staircase. We move from a feel in the area of the soft palate and ears to a feel in the area of the hard palate and front of face.
As we descend the scale or staircase, there is more chordal vibration. Due to an increase in mass, then we feel a little heavier coming down. This feel is like adding a little weight plus bigger steps, and not being as tall. This feeling of little bits heavier as descending the scale indicates all is working well.
