How to practice Inhaled Phonation 2
First, while breathing in, say “ee” in your Goo voice.
Next, while breathing in, say “ee-eh-ah” in your Goo voice.
Finally, while breathing in, say “ee-eh-ah-oh-oo” in your Goo voice.
My voice flips around “i-e-a.” Am I taking in too much air?
The changing shape of your mouth or tongue may be making the air passage wider than it was at the start.
Keeping the false vocal folds apart throughout can also make inhaled phonation steadier, so it is worth paying attention to that.
By the way, should I learn to do this not only in Goo voice but in Choki and Paa voices too?
Yes, that is recommended!
You use the same parts when breathing out and in. Learning to use a wider range of movement through inhaled phonation can reveal new perspectives on voiced breathing and help you progress faster.
