Vocal Range Extension (Part 3)
The exercises in this course are intended to be practiced on three very particular sounds. The first is a tongue trill, in which you roll your tongue to create a "rrrr" sound. The second is a lip trill or lip roll, in which you let your lips flutter quickly (as if you are doing a raspberry) - this has been represented as "bbb" in our lessons. Finally, the third sound is "ng", like the sound at the end of the words sing, long or hung. The "g" in the "ng" sound is not to be overemphasised. Overall, "ng" sounds like slightly nasal and you should be able to feel your vocal folds closing when you produce this sound.
