Voice Training While Sitting

JamesW

I am more or less just starting the KTVA program. With school starting up in 2 weeks, finding time to practice 4-6 times a week is going to be tough. I thought that, since I have an hour and a half commute every day for school, I could do my vocal workouts in the car on the way to or from school. I know standing is the best way to do train the voice, but it really won't be an option for me, except on weekends. I'd imagine the answer is that doing it sitting is better than not doing it at all, but I would love the input of people who have more experience than me with singing.

I do majority of mine in the car, it's better than none at all! Here's what I can do after 3 years after starting from nothing. Also get your student access here.

I did much of my development in my car (maybe learned some of my bad habits there to). Your handicap will be a smaller lung volume which will affect the duration of your support. On the bright side, think how much easier it will be when you get to sing with proper posture. It's kinda like the batter warming up by swinging two bats.

I’ve trained in the car as well. Lip burbles, tongue exercises, and bridging are your best bets, as they don’t require as much support as chest stretching. Be sure to perform chest stretching at home to grow your voice optimally though.

I have tremendous of power sitting down using ribcage support. But, then again, been sitting down a long time.
