RETOUR AUX COURS-VOCAUX

1 – CRACKING

    WHY IT HAPPENS

    When I hear a person on TV, radio or on stage cracking the voice constantly, it gives me the impression of weakness and uncertainty, someone that is not standing proud and strong. Listen for yourself (Example)

    THE GLOTTAL ATTACK

  • We call the glottis the space between the vocal folds so when we say there is a glottal attack it signifies that the folds where slammed together violently by air pushed through the air pipe. Guess how you can ruin your voice
  • It is recognizable by a sharp crack when the sound is initiated and gets worst when it continues and there is a grating at the beginning of a phrase or word (Listen to example)
  • If you listen carefully to the person cracking, you can distinguish the sound starting or initiated on the vocal cord, right in the throat where it is narrow
  • When that occurs, the voice cannot resonate because there is no space for it to do so. This is why we want the air placed lower in the lungs to allow that space between the diaphragm and the vocal folds and keep the space open for vibration.

 

2 – SCREAMING

    EMOTIONS

    Screaming is not Good for the voice Screaming is very damaging to a voice, especially mixed in with strong emotions either positive or negative. Emotions create a certain loss of control making us just push out the sound.

3 – VOWELS AND CONSONANTS

    WORDS AND EXPRESSION OF SELF

  • Vowels and consonants are everything behind the formation of words
  • Consonants are nothing but noise
  • The vowels ARE the voice. ** This is why we vocalize with vowels
  • It is common for people to tie the consonants to the vowels
  • We must detach the consonant from the vowel
  • The lips, tongue and teeth are the tools we use to form consonants
  • The body resonated the vowels
  • The consonant propels the vowel back in its proper place in the body like a slingshot
  • The vowel remains suspended and resonant in the body
  • The “drrr” exercise is very effective in focusing the tongue forward while relaxing it.
