one way im reading in this singing book im reading for a class is.

Start out by whispering. Literally. Not singing but a real whisper like your in the library and say "hey" or any word or vowel. Then whisper it again but draw it out longer, Heeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

Now whisper but just add JUST a little tone VERY SLIGHT until its longer a hissy whisper but a quiet sound. or if anything its not even more of anything but rather closing up the loose whisper. (like take your garden hose and turn the water BARELY on and it just trickles out, thats a whisper.. now if your close it off with your thumb a bit it will stream out solidly instead of just trickle. try imagining different things.. for me just going from whisper to almost a squeak but a lower pitch is the kind of thought process i have.

Make sure the tone isnt airy once your "leave" your whisper behind for a quiet but solid tone. (unless you want an airy sound but thats more of style which should be applied later vs learned with imo)

That little touch of sound from the whisper is all you need initially till you build up a bit more so you can properly resonate and such. but thats a little bit of what ive picked up from hanging around.

**oo yea and since your trying to apply it to liprolls onces you get this feeling of minimal air push and just barely making that tone but consistently. Then do it and add a liproll and focus on staying "small" as alot of people put it.
