"JAMES MENY: So E's and A's bring the larynx up, oh's, uh's, ah's all bring the larynx down. And actually, if you just pay attention to the nature of the vowel, you can feel that happening. One of the terminologies we don't use is forward and back. Sometimes I use it as a crutch, but it's really a crutch and nothing more, because there's no way to sing forward or no way to sing backwards. There's no shift on our hip that goes, here's our forward vowels, here's our back vowels. That's just a sensation that we use. The problem with using some of those terminologies like forward or backwards is that it's open to interpretation. It's like me telling you to sing the color blue. Well, what blue are we talking about? And your blue may be different than my blue. So try to stay away from non-specific terminology like that. So again, up larynx exercises or vowels would be E's and A's, lower would be the oh, ah and uh."
