Breathy Singing? Try this! Onsets and Releases with Vocal Exercises

Do you sound breathy when you sing, or do you sound way too harsh?
We’re going to talk about onsets/releases, some exercises to help produce clear sound while singing, and then we’ll talk about how to use breathy singing and the glottal attacks to your advantage.

Onsets are responsible for producing a vocal tone that is either breathy, harsh, or balanced. Air passing through two vocal folds that are not compressed enough causes the singer to sound breathy, shy, or young. It can also cause a lot of vocal strain. If the vocal folds are compressed too much, it produces a very harsh sound that also causes vocal strain.
