Yodelling
A form of singing or calling marked by rapid alternation between the normal voice and falsetto.

Technically speaking, yodelling is a six-note jump from your chest voice to your head voice, with a voice break in between.

The vocal technique makes the most of the natural gap between most people’s chest and head voices by jumping between the two quickly and loudly.

How do you do it?
Well, you can practise it firstly by yodelling the phrase: ‘Yodel – Ay – EEE – Oooo’.

The best way to go about it is to sing ‘Yodel – Ay’ in your chest voice, then switch into a high falsetto tone on ‘EEE’, and back to the low pitched chest voice on ‘Oooo’.

A simpler exercise is to try some yodelling on A, E and O vowels, then use them to find and perfect the crack between your two voice

Resonance amplifies sound. It also adjusts the color and timbre of the voice by intensifying certain vocal qualities over others. In other words, some resonators make the tone quality of the singer warm and others bright.

When you sing, you have to drop your jaw much more than you do in everyday conversation, and you have to open your mouth and throat much wider. If you don’t drop your jaw and open your mouth, the sound gets trapped inside your mouth and can’t make it past the first row of the audience.

Staying hydrated doesn’t just help your vocal cords – it brings moisture to your mouth and throat, too. This improves your articulation and clarity when you sing.
