For vocal speed, practice phrases and scales that you like. Sing them slowly and controlled until you can sing them accurately, then gradually speed it up. Singing a tricky song at a slower tempo allows your brain to figure it out.
Over time you will develop new muscle memory.
The 100 meter sprint vs. the 100m hurdles requires different breathing strategies. Similarly, vocal agility needs varied breathing strategies. Incorporate the quick breath into your skill set to energise your vocal runs without losing momentum. #learntosing
Agility is the power to move quickly and easily and requires muscle coordination, balance, strength and endurance.
Improve your vocal agility by doing exercises that challenge the response time of your vocal folds, combined with the symbiotic teamwork of the breath flow.
Voice classification determines which parts, songs and keys you'll sing. Voice classification is determined by range, vocal weight, timbre, technical ability, "tessitura" and where the "breaks" occur. #voxtrain#learntosing#range#singbetter#voicelessons#thevoice
Most singers aspire to have an impressive range. Surprisingly, in most contemporary songs, one does not need a five octave range as most songs cover about a one and a half to two octave range. Performable range can be grown and developed over time.

The glottis is the gap between the vocal folds. Glottal closure patterns give a clear indication of how your vocal folds are functioning. Since you cannot look inside of your own voice, it is useful to do glottal onsets and straw phonation to regulate your own glottis. #thevoice

Vibrato can be heard as slight fluctuations in pitch. It sounds like a wobble in the voice. Vibrato comes in many versions and can be a wonderful addition to your vocal palette. Vibrato is also a great stress reliever for the vocal folds as it eases the tension while you sing.
Professional singers know that every phrase matters and so spend much time tuning their vocal tract to perfect their vowels, onsets and offsets, volume and vibrato which all add to the overall look and feel of a piece. Small adjustments make for artistic and efficient singing.
When I used to pick my daughter up from kindergarten every afternoon she would sing about every significant event in her day. There I witnessed the therapeutic powers of singing and songwriting. After all, aren't most songs just life stories set to music?

Vibrations create sound waves. Sound waves have ripple effects called harmonics. The size and thickness of your vocal folds combined with the unique shape of your resonance chambers all play a role in which harmonics will ripple off of your original tone. #harmonics#sing
