Amsel – Train your Voice* is designed to help you quickly and easily warm up your voice for speaking or singing. Do a wide variety of speaking, breathing and vocal exercises in 15 minutes or less. Our favorite features include: - a database of 360+ exercises, sorted into four difficulty levels - ease of use: choose your voice range, decide how long you want to train, hit play and just repeat what you hear. (Use the music notes if it helps; everything is shown in C-major for simplicity.) - acoustic recordings; hear sung examples and sing with a real grand piano – no midi sounds within earshot! - flexibility to set a focus and let the algorithms sort out the right exercises for you. Choose from Body work / Support, Resonance / Directionality, Vowel uniformity, Combining vocal registers, Agility / Coloratura, Economy of air flow / Legato, Articulation, or any of the vowels. - an Info-Button that gives you tips about the purpose and goals of every single exercise! *Amsel – Train your Voice is not meant as a singing tutorial but rather as a “fitness app,” a practical application of instant warm-ups to help you get and keep your voice and body in shape for speaking and singing well. Much like doing sit-ups provides many benefits without needing to understand what exactly they do for your body, doing a few simple voice exercises (such as fricative consonants or those pesky lip bubbles) can help to reinforce positive coordinations in your body that lead to optimal use of your vocal cords. For information regarding the science and pedagogy behind the seemingly random collection of syllables and notes, visit amselapp.com/tips – you‘ll find reading tips, video explanations, resources and other media we recommend for a more complete understanding of your voice and singing. Sarah Fuhs (creator) has over 15 years of experience teaching voice and working with choir singers. As a trained singer and pianist, she began developing digital alternatives for teaching singing technique in 2020, and the Amsel-App is the culmination of that work. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
