Singing Lower and making low notes sound good

Hello what do you recommend for extending the range for low notes? Is there a way to make low notes sound brighter and less gravelly/creaky? Also do you know of any good exercises to go from low register smoothly to mask resonance? Thanks 🙏 

Hi, Liza! Here are my best tips for low notes:

1. Train with a gentle glottal onset (with energetic vowels like A as in CAT or EE as in BEET)

2. "Speak" any pitches you can't sustain

3. Reduce your volume: careful of pushing a lot of air 

4. Think UP (so your larynx doesn't drop and give you a "woofy", overly dark sound)

5. Just touch the low notes and work on sustaining later

As for transitioning from low middle, try sliding on an NN/NG or singing a pattern (like 135 or 13531) on something slightly nasalized like NAH (with A as in CAT). 

Hope that helps!

Are there any videos you recommend to watch here or elsewhere online?

Yes! Here is our range extension lesson series (which covers low and high range extension). 

that video really helped thanks so much 

You're welcome!
