"An Introduction to Speech Level Singing"

"Speech Level Singing is founded on the concept of singing in the same comfortable manner as you speak, providing a healthy technique for all voices and all styles. The SLS technique allows you to sing through your entire range (three or more octaves) without breaking, straining, or changing quality.

The larynx (the bump on your neck) houses your vocal cords. A singer who uses improper technique will find that the larynx will rise as they sing higher. The result sounds "shouty", creates tension, and damages the vocal cords. Speech Level Singing teaches the larynx to stay relaxed through your entire range and teaches the cords to make the proper adjustments while balancing air flow. As a result, the singer will be able to produce the correct resonance shifts through their bridges without any disconnection. With this technique you'll be able to sing through all your bridges in a strong, balanced voice ready for any pitch, any volume, or any style!
