From C to G above, for soprano and tenor {A to E for alto and baritone) let the mouth be roundednot over- wide in the "medium" dropping* the jaw for enlarging* the tone.

All vowels should be used in practice, but ae*and^o,, have most value in voice placing*— a o" for thin quality, and"e"for that which is sombre and a throaty. For contralto and male voices e" is especially g*ood. This vowel will be sung* with more ease if the jaw is relaxed or dropped.
