In singing training, "opening the throat" is a very important central link, which directly affects the quality of the voice. "Opening the throat" means stabilizing the throat in the correct position, actively contracting the mouth lid upward into an arch, relaxing the base of the tongue and placing it flat behind the lower teeth, opening the jaws, relaxing the jaw and lowering it naturally and then pulling it later. The throat at this time is open. The operation of "opening the throat" for beginners:

1) "Yawning" state The "Yawning" state allows the mouth to open naturally, relax, lift the mouth cover, and increase the space in the mouth. Therefore, when singing, the throat should not be blocked, but should be opened to allow the breath to flow out freely. The "yawning" state is indeed a good way to open the throat, and it also ensures the singer is in a good singing state.

In daily practice, you can also "yawn" with your mouth closed. When you yawn with your mouth closed, the state inside is also open and raised. If we can maintain this state when singing, If so, then your voice will not be "white" or "flat", but your voice will be "upright" or "round".

2) Use the "smile" state to open your throat. The "smile" we are talking about is not just smiling, but refers to raising the "smiling muscles". The purpose of raising the "smiley muscles" is to open the nose and pharynx, open the big teeth, and make the smiley muscles (zygomatic bones) on both sides of the face look like a smile. Such a smile can open your throat and allow you to achieve a high-pitched voice. . "The state of singing is the yawn inside and the smile of the virgin." This is a very insightful saying.
