Octave Scale. Increase your vocal range

Octave Scales

Octave Scale

Lets continue warming up your voice with this octave exercise.

We are going to start with some vowel sounds, but using the consonant L to help you along:

Gently sing-  la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, (keychange)

Again la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Now lets making a little more interesting for you. We’re going to change the vowel sounds

Leh, leh, leh, leh, leh, leh, leh, leh,leh

Law, law, law, law, law, law, law, law, law,

Lee, lee, lee, lee, lee, lee, lee, lee, lee

Loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo

and repeat as the scale gets higher

As you get more confident with this exercise, you could try dropping the consonant and do the exercise just on the vowel sound:

Ah, Eh, Aw, Ee, Oo (one sound for each keychange)
