Stacatto

Staccato is a great tool for building your voice.  Because the note values are so small, using staccato really sheds light on where you are having issues, simply because staccato is really really hard to do unless your voice is already basically free.

Try it.

Repeat the same note  at a rate of about 100 notes per second.

It's hard, isn't it. You likely feel where the air is getting stopped up, or maybe the problem is every time you sing you are flexing your pecs and it's too challenging to release and reflex them.

Using staccato is a good way to train yourself only to use the muscles of the Larynx in the singing process.

It is important that you DO NOT rely on putting and [h] in front of your onsets,  the vocal folds should close at the same instant air flow begins, resulting in the production of a pure tone, without a hard glottal attack or an aspirate breathy one.
