Weeks 9 and 10: the bottom and the long phrase
Two weeks on the low register, which rewards release rather than effort, and on carrying a long phrase without running the tank dry.
Move on when: Your longest song phrase, looped on its own in the songbook at conversational volume with breaths only where you marked them, scoring no lower than it did the first time you looped it, on two different days.
The evidence comes from the songbook, which is where this app measures it.
When it does not pass, the blocker is usually this one. Where you breathe, not how much. A phrase that sags at the end usually spent its air in the first half or took an unplanned breath; move the breath point before trying a bigger inhale.
What passing does not prove: That the low notes stayed released or that the phrase was musical. The score is pitch held against the written notes; it cannot hear a pressed larynx or a rushed breath.
The app runs this fortnight day by day in The Measured Voice: 12 weeks, a Suede Pro program. Its first week is free, and each day of that week fits inside the free plan's 5 guided minutes.
