I have formulated a new idea this morning that is great… I share with thee…

This is a technique that is used to help train singing through narrowed vowels
and improving the articulation of your lyrics when singing high. This technique
is also great for resonating to forward positions and amplifying the “cup” of the
hard palette.

A snile is a cross between a sneer and a smile. It is used in singing to help

d
narrow singing vowels and to maintain intrinsic musculature support. It creates

stability and it amplifies, when singing pop/rock music.

Mastery of The SNILE will greatly train your kinesthetic feel for narrowing

vowels, resonating forward into an “edgier” position, and amplifying while

“THE SNILE” is Characterized By:

A LIFTING OF THE UPPER LIP TO EXPOSE THE FORWARD TEETH OF THE EMBOUCHURE.

A “NARROWING” OF THE VOCAL TRACK INTRINSICALLY AND EXTRINSICALLY (EMBOUCHURE),

TO PREVENT “SPLATTING” THE VOWELS AND AMPLIFY THE SOUND ENERGY.

This is “THE SNILE”. A position that amplifies the forward palette, narrows vowels and makes

articulation easier.

“THE SNILE” is just one idea and technique. It is not a “global” solution for all
things singing… it you want to get a feel for forward resonance and narrowing,
it is good and clearly, it can help you to sing very accurately with great

V
intonation and articulation.
