Human voice

Over the course of this unit I’ve continued to develop the range and flexibility of my voice and body. The new exercises taught in class have proved helpful in performance. By centring the breath and releasing muscular tensions I can prepare my body for performance. Deeper placement of the breath produces a clearer, unconstrained sound. Panting exercises help me settle into a deeper, more confident tone. Fascia feet massaging I’ve found to be a nice pre-show ritual. I’ve learned to be conscious…

Normal resonance is control by the size and the shape of the pharyngeal, oral, and nasal cavities, which provides the quality and uniqueness of the voice from the vocal tract with airflow and sound.

Voicing When we inhale, air passes into our lungs. Between our pharynx and trachea, each of us have a pair of vocal folds that separate when we do this. This process is called abduction. We use a small intrinsic muscle in our larynx that pulls the vocal folds apart allowing and allows air to move into our lungs. This causes the glottis to open from the back to the front, and the vocal folds wave from the back to the front. The posterior cricoarytenoid muscle is responsible for this…
