1. Muscle Exercises
When doing compression exercises, you’ll make sounds as if you are pouting, with a shaky voice. This keeps the vocal chords together, compressing the muscles in your throat. Meanwhile, your muscles are learning the art of compression through the exercises, so the technique can be plugged into a song.
 
2. Singing Emotion
Voice compression gives your singing voice “life” so the emotions of the song can be reflected through your singing. Notice how much “emotion” is added to the voice sound by your favorite country, pop or rock singer. Where does this “emotion” come from? It comes from daily voice compression exercises!
 
3. Compressing Vocals for Style
Incorporate muscle compression into vocal stylings. Compressing vocals creates the sense of urgency in your voice and that energetic drive that enables you to sing to the listener’s heart, not just their ears! It gives your voice its unique style that will set you apart from other singers.
 
The Performer’s Edge
Use voice compression to give your voice the edge needed for singing success. Training your muscles not only helps your voice sound better, but can make singing more comfortable when trying to develop a certain sound and style.
