Creating sound!
o Humming. Any melody as long as you are going high and low. You cannot hurt yourself on a hum so hum away! Lips should be placed together, teeth slightly open. Really feel the buzz on your lips. Or if you prefer hum/lip trill to a scale.
o Humming with a chew! Move mouth up and down as if you are eating. The idea is to create as much space as possible in the mouth cavity,
o Siren, make the sound of a fire engine on an ‘NG’
