Lesson transcript

Understanding the O Vowel

The next vowel we're going to deal with is the O vowel.

Characteristics of the O Vowel

  • The O vowel migrates more towards an ah as we move up through the bridge.
  • The O vowel sounds like this, and you can hear how it's slowly migrating more towards an ah sound.

Key Points

  • The change is very, very minute.
  • None of these vowel modifications are going to be massive changes.
  • We don't want to have a pronounced shift, that's going to make the voice splat, and it won't sound like a pure O all the way through.

Focus on Minimal Change

  • We want to do the minimum amount of change to get the sound to still resonate properly and freely.
