easytosing

Easytosing is a term used in vocal pedagogy to describe an approach to singing that emphasizes ease of production and sustainable technique. The word combines easy and singing, and the concept arose in informal discussions among voice teachers and online training communities. It is not a standardized method with formal curricula, but rather a descriptive idea used to guide students toward more economical voice use.

Core ideas center on reducing physical tension and maintaining efficient vocal fold function. Practitioners advocate balanced breath support, a relaxed larynx, forward resonance, open and vowel-modified vowel shapes, and relaxed jaw and tongue. The aim is to produce a clear, connected tone with a steady air supply and smooth coordination across vocal registers, rather than forcing power or brightness.

Common techniques associated with easy singing include diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing, easy onset of phonation, semi-phonation or light phonation, vowel shaping to support resonance, and gradual, relaxed transitions through the passaggio. Exercises often focus on maintaining consistent airflow, reducing excess tension, and training the singer to recognize when technique is limiting or when effort is increasing unnecessarily.

Applications and use cases vary, from teaching beginners to cultivate sustainable technique to helping experienced singers manage fatigue during long performances or demanding repertoire. Critics warn that overemphasis on “ease” can lead to insufficient projection or stylistic inaccuracies if not balanced with appropriate vocal demands and repertoire understanding.
