Wanted to get the ball rolling here for the new month. I have delved deep into the train and its benefits. Here are the first of some things I have found to be critical. Any questions do let me know!
Train: insights and observations
1. The Nose- the nasal passages must be able to maintain the same breathing pattern as the mouth and at the same intensity and speed without any break in the groove.
2. Phasing- we must be able to shift or phase the breath between the nose and mouth gradually or abruptly depending on the need or desire to do so without ever breaking the groove.
3. Tonal/ mouth shapes- the mouth shape or tonal variation must be controlled and not random. Eventually it can be used for improvosation.
4. Volume- dynamic fluctuations both gradual and abrupt must be completely controlled with proper breath support and must never ever break the groove.
5. Throbbing- a gentle spasm or throbbing should take place between the throat and the diaphragm at top speeds.
