Neh.
When _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ we sing the word the, T-H-E, if we have a lot of space in there, this is a problem
because the er sound, the schwa, it's not a very attractive thing to sing a long note on.
_ Errrrrrrr, like that.
So we often say, the.
If we have a lot of note on it, a lot of length or if it's preceding a word that starts with
a vowel, obviously we go V, T-H-I-H, sing that, V and_ _ _
[C] Alright, _ _ we're going to practise our vowels a little bit.
The main vowels or the best vowels that we use for singing are all of our, what we call
our Italian vowels and we're going to sing E _ -L. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's much harder in reverse isn't it, we're starting with OO.
OO-R _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]-A-E is reverse.
So you think of it forward, E-A-R-O-O and then OO-R-A-E.
Alright, so it's a little scale, [C] we're going up and down.
Let's try it, ready [Em] and_
_ Make [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Cm] _ sense?
Here we go, [C] ready, breathe.
E [G] _ [Am]-L_

[Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ [D] _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ between the vowels as smooth as you [F] can.
So we get_
_ In _ _ _ here I'm using my throat to start [Eb] each note, so really try and connect them, make
them as beautiful as you can.
Here we go, thanks Chris and_ E [Gm]-L_
