#3, Exercise for the day. ZZZZZZZs.
Say the word buzz. Now say it again without the bu part. ZZZZZ. Good, you're a pro. I was going to have you record something to buzz along to but I remembered that I had this warm-up mp3 that I made years ago with me at work. I just added some compression to make it sound better so hey, you'll have a better tool than I do.

While applying all of the skills that I talked about earlier, buzz along to the scale exercise mp3. Note. You don't need to sing the first note of each new step, I sound it to let you know what pitch to start on.
As you buzz, you should feel your lips and front of your mouth vibrate like mad, as pressure has built up here from your strong breath support. You want each buzz to sound the same as the previous note as you climb the scale. If you can develop consistency while buzzing this scale, you will have no problems later on singing real notes.
If you are wondering why we buzz, we do it to let us know how smooth our airflow actually is. If you sing real notes you can cheat by altering your throat, but by buzzing, you are forced to use your ...... diaphragm. Smoothness and consistency is what we want here. Practice up.
This is a great warm up exercise too. I do this almost every time I drive to rehearsal in the car. People look at me like I'm retarded but fuck them; I bet they have shitty breath support.
