Sing Staccato
Edited by Toradze, VisiHow, Eng, Visihow Admin
Hi! You're watching VisiHow. This is a video tutorial series on how to sing. In the previous tutorial, we discussed how to sing in tune. In this tutorial, we will teach you how to sing staccato.
Steps
- 1One way is to end with a consonant sound, as in "t", "k", or "ch". Another way is by using vowels ah, ee, oh, or uh where there is nothing to stop the sound in the accentuated way as it is with t, k, ch, and other consonants.There are two ways to sing staccato.
- 2To create a good foundation, feel the breath you take go down and hold it with the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. This will create good support. You can place your hands on your oblique muscles to feel it better.To sing staccato, we need to have a strong foundation, breathing, and diaphragm.
- 3Then, hold your breath using your abdominal muscles.
- 4Imagine a pulse that will push out pockets of air. This will work with words ending in vowel sounds, and we definitely can use vowels to sing staccato.Every time you sing a vowel, such as ah, ee, oh, uh, you want to feel your abdominal muscles flex as you are "pressing" the vowels as if by muscle spasms.
- 5Get these notes as short as possible. Each note will be one count.As an example, let's sing do, re, mi, fa, sol, fa, mi, re, and do in staccato.
