Ep. 55 Riffs/Runs/Melismas/Licks - An exercise

Hey singers! The idea for episode 55 came to me in the shower, actually. I don't usually actually sing in the shower, which is funny, because I think it's where I sang the most as a kid. But I was trying to brainstorm my students' questions on how to get better at singing riffs/runs/melismas/licks. And it came to me. Why not just make up a lick and use it as an etude, or exercise? Perfect. Watch this video and sing not only this exercise, but you can make any lick you're working on into an exercise of your own. Just remember to slow it down before you can speed it up. Enjoy!
