Glide up on “ooh” (siren)
Research-backed first move: a smooth glissando on a hum or lip trill wakes the voice without a note to “hit.” No wrong notes here — only how wide and steady your glide feels. Your first steady pitch becomes the bottom of the guide; the dotted line shows where we will ask you to rise.
- Headphones on if you have them (keeps speaker bleed out of later takes).
- Allow the mic when asked — we only listen while this panel is open.
- One gentle ooh from low to high; lip trill or hum is fine (SOVT).
