his vocal dynamics, proves that he is in fact the greatest of all time. “A killer queen” and “dynamite with a laser beam”, perhaps Freddie was referring to his own powerful vocal presence with these lyrics. Rightly so, for no other singers dynamic voice has stirred emotions like Freddie Mercury’s. It has been said that “Bohemian Rhapsody” still showcases unrivaled vocal talent since its release 41 years ago. Indeed its true, for no pop song since then has been written in 6 distinct parts, each…

Knowing that I was going to take this course I was extremely nervous and unexcited. I have always been told that I am not the best writer. Putting my work out there for others to read was very nerve racking. I knew nothing about poetry, non-fiction, and fiction. I knew the definitions, but that was the extent of it. During the lessons throughout the semester I gained knowledge of poets such as Ezra Pound, E.E. Cummins, Frank O’Hara, and many others. During class we discussed different meanings…

To speak with authority you must use your voice effectively. If you are like most people, your voice is an essential asset of your career. Without your voice, you would not be able to express your "wants", "needs" or "ideas" across environments. However, most of us take our voice for granted. We scream, and continuously talk in noisy environments. Medication can also have a harmful effect on our voices. But do not stop taking your medication if you notice this is true of you. Instead, ask your…

By this time, the person reading this may very well be sick of seeing the words “creaky voice,” but it really is interesting how a slight variation in speech can impact individuals so severely.
