"In our next exercise, we're going to do a five note scale exercise. Our whole goal of this exercise is to simply produce a pretty tone. With all of the stretching and building, we still have to make the tone pleasant. This will help you to do that and help you to marry the voices together so that they are the same all the way up and all the way down. And it goes like this. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Zah-eh-ih-oh-ooh-oh-oh-ah-ee. Now you'll notice in this exercise that there is a difference between the lower end of my voice, and the higher end of my voice. Some exercises help to eliminate that transition. But this exercise, that's not really that important. What's important in this exercise is that we make a pure tone just going gently up and gently back. It's a more advanced exercise, not that it is difficult, but then marrying the voice together, we want to be a little more advanced."
