Week 4: Phrasing and lyrical delivery
(forward motion)
Welcome to Oceanaires Summer Sing! Finding Your Voice Through Four-Part Harmony
A seven-week journey of music, friendship, and discovering the joy of singing.
——————
Spotlight: Ice Cream Social, Guest Quartet “99”

Lyrical delivery
- Moving Air
- Vocal freedom is achieved through efficiency of the vocal apparatus.
- Force does not create resonance… efficiency creates resonance.
- What are some resistance that affects our vocal energy?
- Posture
- Vocal placement
- Moving air
- Character driven
- Barbershop phrasing

Example: how would you do this Barbershop?

Exercises:
- Practice Moving Air on a “Z”or “V” (Row, row row your boat then on our show songs)
- Now sing it in different characters and see how it affects the delivery.
