Resonance in Singing and Speaking

CHAPTER VIII
4/28

It is important that each exercise in its order shall be thoroughly mastered before taking up the next.

Only in this way can rapid progress be made, for it is not the multiplicity of exercises, but the thoughtful application of principles in the few, that leads to results.
The sound of _hng_ will always place the voice in proper focus by developing the resonance of the nose and head.

The thin bones of the nose will first respond to the sound and after practice the vibrations can be felt on any part of the head and even more distinctly on the low than on the high tones.

To attain this, repeat the sound _hung_ times without number, prolonging the _ng_ sound at least four counts.
To insure the proper course of the vowel sounds through the nasal passages, follow _hung_ with the vowel _ee_, as this vowel is more easily focused than any other; then with _oo_, _oh_, _aw_ and _ah_.
_Ah_ is by far the most difficult sound to focus and should never be used for initial practice.

Much valuable time has been lost by the custom of using this sound at first.
