"Gyuug" 5 3 1: high, middle, low

The same 5 3 1 sung three ways: bright and small (a high larynx), normal, and dark and deep (a low larynx). Feeling all three gives control over tone colour.

How to do it

  1. Rep 1: bright, like a small child.
  2. Rep 2: your normal voice.
  3. Rep 3: dark, like an opera singer. Never forced.

Remember Bright, normal, dark.
