I've recently begun some voice training. I'll be doing actual therapy in a couple of months, but I want to start doing stuff on my own. Fortunately, I have fairly high natural voice and I have some training as singing tenor, so pitch in not the biggest issue for me.
One of my big challenges with my training right now is that I slide into male range at the very end of phrases.
I know that you can stop that by always ending phases sliding up, but I just sound like a ditzy teenager when I do that.
I can also bump at the end of phrases, but that doesn't always sound natural depending on the situation...sometimes the most natural thing to do is a small slide. But when I slide at the end of a phrase it's a slide from 220Hz (where I'm speaking) to 120Hz (which is where my normal male voice is), and that is a clear giveaway.
Are there any drills to help me stop sliding too much at the end of phrases?
