Have you ever had one of the worst people in your life become the best role model you have ever had? My whole life I just wanted my father to be there for me and love me like he loved my younger siblings, But I never felt what that was like. I wanted to be more of a priority instead of being shoved to the side like I was a burden to him. I thought I wanted to grow up and be like my father, but I found out that I didn’t. I learned more about who I wanted to be as a man, and as a father in my own…

notes by using modal register. As for Smith, his vocal range is between the range of the tenors and the bass. Macdonald, being the bass singer, sang the lowest range of pitches in every song throughout the concert. Each and every singer produced a unique voice which contributed to different timbres. Even when I was closing my eyes, I could recognize the voices sang by each singer. I was really fascinated by the fact that the combination of different vocal timbres can actually produce a…

When it comes to teaching listening and responding come as a packaged deal. Granted most teachers only like one or the other. Often times teachers will respond to what they believed you said. But then others listen and just forget to respond. It is hard to find a teacher that wants or cares enough to do both. I really think these two are the hardest skill to teach. I believe I may be lucky enough to already have them. I grew up around mostly boys. These boys are my pride and joy. I have seen…

patient struggled with this task and instead produced normal phonation rather than glottal fry. Inhalation Phonation (10:37) This speech task required the patient to produce phonation on the inhalation. This task assesses the ability of the true vocal folds without the involvement of any supraglottal activity. The patient had difficulty with this task and phonated on the exhalation rather than the inhalation. Laryngeal Massage (10:56) This speech task involved the clinician performing a…

Most opera singers take at least four years to make a name for themselves. They must first study vocal music in college, obtain their bachelor’s degree in voice and then join a young artist development program at an opera house, where they work as understudies for at least two years. Exceptionally talented singers can skip the chain of command, but…

We filed onto the risers, our stage, and my choir director started talking to the choir, and then the other soloist in the choir and I sang for the night. As I and the other soloist made sure to frantically flip through the solos to attempt to make sure we remembered the lines, the red looming curtains opened. The distant stage lights were shining down upon me and the rest of my group of singers with hundreds of judging eyes of parents, friends, teachers, and other important people. The pressure…

any place, that is, if lifestyle behaviors have not deformed the vocal instrument (i.e., excessive spicy foods, alcohol, smoking, screaming, et cetera). Singing begins with an exhalation of human vocal sounds (phonation) (NIDCD, 2015). At the point of phonation, two smooth adjacent muscle tissues in the thorax come into contact and vibrate to create resonating sound waves from the throat, mouth, and nose (NIDCD, 2015). As any vocal performer will confirm, singing is athletic, and to sing…

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…

I have loved music and singing in front of people my whole life. I took voice lessons and sang in recitals since I was in grade school. I tried out for every solo opportunity in music class. In 8th grade I decided I wanted to try singing in front of a larger crowd of people so I signed up for the school talent show. The day of the talent show I was a complete mess of emotions. I was so excited and looking forward to performing. As the day progressed, nervousness overtook the excitement. I…
