*Recitative* is a style of delivery (much used in operas
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera>, oratorios
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oratorio>, and cantatas
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantata>) in which a singer is allowed to
adopt the rhythms and delivery of ordinary speech.

You A simple, lazy yawn will open the back of your throat and release your
initial singing voice. But wait! You want to do this exercise exactly the
right way:

   - Use good posture whether you sit or stand. Keep that spine straight.
   After all, your singing muscles are attached to your spine.
   - Now, relax all your face muscles and take a nice big yawn.
   - With your mouth in the yawning position, *release your voice* with a
   gentle but controlled sigh.
   - Repeat this relaxing exercise using these different sounds: Ee, Ah,
   Eh, Oh, and Oo. The mouth will change position on each of these primary
   vowels.
   - Repeat once more and this time, hold the yawn longer before sliding
   down to release your singing sound.
