In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John dives into the power of the “sometimes vowels” Y and W—why they’re more than just grammar quirks and how they can help singers reduce tension and improve transitions. If you're working on mix, belt, or tricky vowels on tricky notes, these two letters may be your new best friends.

 

Episode highlights:

• Y and W glides help reset tension and ease vocal transitions.
• These glides narrow vowels, making high notes easier to access without strain.
• Practicing with glides can dramatically improve vowel tuning and vocal efficiency.
