"In our speech voice exercises, we're going to actually start with the speaking voice. You want to make sure that these sounds come to the very front of your mouth. They want to be on the tip of your tongue, right at the mouth. So repeat after me. Buh-buh-buh. You want to put the air that you have in your diaphragm in your lungs through the sound and make it like an attack. Buh-buh-buh. You can also do this with 'd'. Duh-duh-duh. I highly recommend as you start these exercises you do the speech exercise first. Buh-buh-buh. Duh-duh-duh. Then you're ready to move on to an actual vocal exercise. I like this one. Bum-bum-bum-bum-buh. Bum-bum-bum-bum-buh. Bum-bum-bum-bum-buh. Bum-bum-bum-bum-buh. Now, you can also do this with a zung. Zung-zung-zung-zung-zuh. Keep in mind, I'm not singing really big. This wouldn't be a dramatic moment in a song. This is really just right there in the middle. Exercising that middle voice."
