Hello, my name is Yessenia Balan, and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to talk about the proper techniques for singing. We're going to do the same exercise now, going towards the bottom. And see if we can get that projection from the chest area. So, starting with the same C D E F G, and then going down half steps. I'm going to stop there as well, you were hearing those last few notes, a much deeper sound and they usually will be able to resound from the chest area. Now, if you're a male voice you might feel you still have a lot of capability of going down. So, feel free to continue going the same pattern, just going down half steps. And continuing on until you're comfortable. Never exceed the range that you feel comfortable in and never push yourself or strain your throat. Singing is much like any other type of exercise. You're not going to risk, a marathon runner is not going to risk actually straining a muscle but preferably will warm up little by little until they can get to the farthest point. Same thing for singing. You want to make sure your throat, vocal cords are warmed up, singing little by little, with these types of exercises, and as your vocal cords warm up and you get used to the range getting wider, go ahead and start expanding out, but don't expand out if you're not feeling that your technique is relaxed and appropriate.
