- Hi everyone! I made a singing vowels video before, but I wanted to make a shorter one that is just specifically what the vowels are and how to form them in case my 30 minute vowel video is too long for some people to watch haha. So here it is!
My longer singing vowels video with all that other info: • SINGING VOWELS | Singi...

1) Shaping our air
2) Straws work
3) AH EH E are the big vowels O OU are the smaller vowels
4) Practice a vowel at the time for the whole song, example: Happy Birthday
This has been the most helpful video on singing vowels. You have helped me do an amazing job.
I’m so happy I could help!
Great, please keep them coming.
This is golden information! Please keep posting and showing us how to apply these vowels to songs!!!
I absolutely will! :)
So great, thanks so much 🤩🙏👍
Great Tutorial!
LOVE YOUR VOWELS VIDEO!
thanks so much!!
wow!!Amazing´s tips!!!! Thank you
So happy I can help!! :)
Amazing
Great video well done
thanks so much!
I juat realised this naturally after trying to figure out why . sounded nasally, i tried opening my mouth more and the voice sounds so much clearer... than i checked to see if people teach this and your video popped up :)
Yes!! I found that too, when I used to sing a bit nasally I tested out to see if I would still sound nasal with vowel shapes/more open mouth shapes, and it erased it. It’s super cool!! So glad you discovered it too!
Hi I am from Nepal trying to sing from your in your singing nutshell video 😊 love from Nepal keep up the good work 🎉❤
so happy I can help! You've got this! 😄
Thanks🎉
my pleasure! :)
Yes this is so valuable, also I noticed it’s easier to sing in vibrato on the ooo Val so do have any videos on development of vibrato?
Yess, vowels are fantastic for helping to control the spin of vibrato, especially the smaller vowels like Oo and E!
Ahh unfortunately I don't! Vibrato was one of the few things that came naturally to me, so I don't know how I learned it, therefore I'm not sure how to teach it. I wish I could help more!

How do you go about doing consonants like LL's, Ss's, Dd's, Pp's ? How active is the tongue supposed to be, how can I lighten mine?
When it comes to consonants, just do your best to use them as sparingly as possible - so if you have a word like “soul”, pronounce the s at the beginning but as quick as you can, get to the o(h) vowel, and then wait until you’re done holding the note before tacking on the “L” at the end, as if you’re punctuating it with a period. Consonants are just for enunciation, so pronounce them the same as you do when speaking, just try to get to that vowel as relatively quick as you can, and wait until the very end before tacking on the consonant. That’s the extent of how much I think about it, and I don’t think about tongue placement at all. Singing is more like talking than we think it is, so I’d focus on keeping it natural in terms of that. It’s really more of just not staying on the consonant shape for any longer than you have to. ☺️
I have another vowels video on my channel that goes more in depth, I think that will help too! If you can’t find it I can grab you a link :)
Can you make a short from this video of you doing the vowel shapes?
sure! I can make it this weekend, and I'll post a link to it here when it's up! :)

So when were doing runs. How do we do it smoothly with these vowels? Is it sliding into the note or jumping to them. I feel like the back of my throat closes when trying switching to notes fast
I’m not sure why you mean by “sliding into or jumping into” the notes, but runs should feel no different than any other singing with the vowel shapes! If you’re feeling any tightness in your throat that’ll always be an indication of using tension/pushing, or trying to manipulate the sound in some way. Try to stay relaxed and natural-feeling and see how the sound comes out! If you are having issues with runs, slow them way down first. Trying to do a complicated run too quickly could also make you feel like you have to tighten up.
I also have a video on runs if that might help too! ruclips.net/video/EbUuBCaWTD4/видео.htmlsi=3c0BVQhcpi0B-1yt
So is someone like the great Karen Clark Sheard singing with the wrong form? Can this rule vary depending on the style?
Karen Clark Sheard sings with top notch form, and really maintaining that space in her mouth as she sings! 😄 She is singing with the same form I mention in the video. The only changes you’ll really see is that when singers get this mouth shape really into muscle memory, they don’t always have the “most proper” lip shapes. Plus, the more “perfectly” you execute the lip shapes (therefore the mouth shape too), you’ll sound more and more like you’re singing proper or classical or sometimes even operatic style. The more you relax your lip shape, the more casual you will sound, so for genres such as pop or rap or even country, you may find that singers don’t focus as much on the vowel. However, tone will always sound best, and singing will always be easier when you do try to stick to that “perfect” shape.
A great example would be watching Ariana Grande perform Broadway covers versus her own pop music. She’s often much more lax on the lip shape for her pop music, but she goes all the way for the more classical or “proper” styles. (such as her performance of “the wizard and I”!)
All in all, it’s the same technique, it just depends on how proper you want to sound!
Could you show me how to apply this to titanium
this video should help! :) ruclips.net/video/ytTmAf4_2-k/видео.html
In this video I go through the vowels of the lyrics in "greedy" by Tate McRae, but the words in that song occur in a lot of other songs too, Titanium included. 😄
What about uh
Usually best to use the “Ah” shape (but still pronounce ‘uh’)!
I have more explanations about those in between vowel sounds in this video! ruclips.net/video/JCgwjBmlHjc/видео.htmlsi=nWtRk9yb6EcUvISS
Do you give Skype lessons?
I do! Primarily I use Google Meet for a bit better quality, but I do use Zoom and Skype as well 😄
Here is a link to my online lesson information! I'd love to work with you ☺ www.katecosettevocals.com/schedule-a-lesson
