Speech Level Singing

Maybe you have heard of Speech Level Singing. Maybe you haven’t. Whatever the case, it is the new technique that has singers buzzing. Get ready to learn about a new, revolutionary approach to singing called Speech Level Singing!

Speech Level Singing (SLS) is an approach to singing that attempts to make singing just as easy as speaking. By completely relieving tension and neutralizing the larynx, the SLS method creates a unique, powerful and passionate voice.

The SLS method focuses primarily on the neutralization of the larynx and the connection of the vocal cords. When the larynx stays neutral and the vocal cords stay connected, your vocal range becomes seamless from bottom to top. The two most commons issues for singers are: 1) the larynx rises too high when ascending in pitch, preventing your voice from releasing, and/or 2) the loss of vocal compression when ascending in pitch, causing the singer to either flip to falsetto or pull up chest voice and “yell” or “shout”.

Speech Level Singing fixes these issues through exercise and diagnostic training. The most wonderful thing about the SLS method is that it doesn’t overwhelm you with scholarly musical jargon. While understanding this jargon is important as you progress further into your singing career, the average singer has no desire to understand this jargon. Rather, the average singer just wants to learn how to sing better without all the technical mumbo-jumbo. Speech Level Singing just plain teaches how to sing, and how to sing well at that.

This is only a compacted version of the SLS method. However, if you pay attention to keeping your larynx neutral (which is tougher than you may think) and keeping your vocal cords connected, you will start to see results.
