1.2 Vowel Projection Techniques

Language is used for expression. For clear and powerful expression, the mouth must open
freely while producing vowel sounds. This principle applies to all the world languages. In
Sanskrit (and other Indian languages that use the same vowel sounds), here are the vowel
production techniques:
• ‘A’ sound: Jaw drops down; sound resonates in the belly
• ‘I’ sound: Mouth expands sideways; sound resonates in the ears
• ‘U’ sound: Mouth comes forward forming a nozzle, cheeks bulging out due to air
pressure inside the mouth; sound resonates in the mouth
• ‘E’ sound: Mouth expands sideways with tips going up; sound resonates in the belly
• ‘O’ sound: Mouth comes forward forming a circle; sound resonates in the belly

1.3 Consonant Projection Techniques

Each consonant is produced from a specific part of the head. Vowels are used to project the
consonant sounds. For each of the 31 consonants listed in the above table, practice the vowel
technique. For example, using ‘k’: kA, kI, kU, kE and kO.
