Less pressure

Hi there 761349.

I listened to your clips and you are doing the exact same things I was doing in the beginning. So here are my two cents...

What you need to change in your approach is to lower your volume. Your trying to sound like the singers on the CD, but your muscles arent that cordinated yet to do thrills and rolls at that volume.
The feeling you should be going for is a weightless feeling, and it is going to crack and break in the beginning, but dont get discouraged, because it will even out more every day you do the exercises. Dont try to push your way through that difficult part where you flip, instead lower your volume, concentrate on keeping the lips bubbling and I tell you, after a week it will be so much smoother already!

On the nays, you need to whine more :D And another thing you could do, is to make the nei-sounds as short as possible, dont make them as long as the singers on the cd:s do in the beginning, the shorter the nei-sounds you make, the easier it will be for you to stay connected throughout your range. Once you get that, you can start making the sounds longer.

And the most important thing is to keep believing, these exercises have helped out plenty of singers and will help you too!

Best of luck to you.
