The Th Buzz drill forces your tongue forward between your teeth so you can feel exactly when you pull back and swallow your tone.
Use the dopey 'Mum' sound to train your larynx to stay low through octave jumps. Build stable, relaxed tone on high notes without throat tension.

The ng glide warms up your voice with a nasal buzz that builds head resonance and forward placement. Smooth out register transitions from root to fifth.
