SINGING WITH AN OPEN VOWEL SOUND

Singing with an open vowel sound refers to the technique of shaping your mouth and vocal tract to produce clear, resonant, and unrestricted vowel sounds. This approach enhances vocal tone, projection, and clarity. Open vowels are typically characterized by a lack of tension and a more rounded, spacious sound.

For example:

• “Ah” as in “father” is often considered an open vowel because the mouth is wide and the jaw drops naturally.
• In contrast, a more closed vowel like “ee” as in “see” requires a narrower mouth shape and more focused placement.

Key aspects of singing with open vowels include:

• Relaxation: Avoiding tension in the jaw, tongue, and throat to allow free vibration of the vocal cords.
• Resonance: Shaping the vowel to maximize the use of resonating spaces in the mouth and nasal cavity.
• Consistency: Keeping vowels stable across different pitches and dynamics.

Singing with open vowels is often emphasized in classical, choral, and some contemporary styles to improve vocal quality and blend. It requires practice to balance openness with the natural articulation of the words in a song.
