I have been going through the SS cd's and did not find any explanation or demonstration on how to do the 'gug' exercise. There is a track on CD6 where Brett says you can do either gug or mum exercise but does not give any demonstration on how to do this. I am not on CD6 but I wanted to know when I do go there how do I do the 'gug' exercise? Thanks |

Just do the gug exercise the same way the mums are demonstrated. There isn't a big difference between the two exercises.

Although I never bought the product, from my understanding (guess?) the GUG exercise is designed to make you quickly bring together the vocal folds. It's
short, and it does its job. You sing it without holding out the note. Allow yourself to alter the vowel to GUHG when your body tells you to do so when you
start moving into your mixed voice. Allow yourself to be loud. Don't be shy.
(Correct me if I took this exercise wrongly - I've never used SS by Brett). |

I had a similar experience with the GUG exercise when I went to an SLS teacher, he gave me this exercise to do because he said that it will help to connect the
voice and at the same time will help to keep the larynx low.
I don't think I will be using that exercise now though since I believe that the voice should be slowly developed. When I move onto CD6 I will start using this exercise because I feel that this is very good for my voice. It will be a long journey though, i'm not in a rush anyway. |
