Modes of Weight
Weight and mode switching
What you'll be able to say
I compared comfortable production choices in one short phrase and returned to an easy neutral sound.
Lessons
- 1.Neutral, Restrained, Driven, Edged
6 min · Four production choices, decoupled from pitch height. Any of them can happen anywhere in your range.
- 2.One Phrase, Three Weights
7 min · Same phrase, same pitch, different weight.
- 3.Self-Check: Three Modes on Cue
6 min · Called at random, with a return to easy neutral voice between attempts. Strain is not measured.
Where to practise
Nothing in Suede Sing measures this, so the self-check is your ear and your recording. What it shows: That you tried production choices on cue and returned to neutral. Neither the choices nor the absence of strain is measured.

Practice material
The exercises and songs play synthesized reference pitches: they supply the notes, not a recording of a singer demonstrating a technique. Record your takes in the recorder.

Work in a comfortable range and volume. Stop for pain, burning, sudden hoarseness, loss of range or a change in your speaking voice. These lessons teach practice decisions and stop rules; they don't diagnose or treat anything, and pitch readings do not assess vocal health. Persistent symptoms belong with a qualified clinician, not another attempt.
