Nasal, hooty and natural

Hello people,

It was long since i posted, was managing studies and some other things.

Today i will talk about Production of voice.

Vocal production? What is it? What differentiates nasal singing, opera singing and theatre singing.

Basically, it is just how you place your larynx when you singing.

Try this, 1) Start talking and see how your voice is naturally.
2) Try yawning and speak with that feeling( yawny feeling ), your voice is
hooty and more chesty. You will feel your larynx going down
3) Try speaking like a Donald Duck, yes you will sound nasal and your
Larynx moves up at the same time.

Why is so? Our head area including mouth are reasonating chambers, where the quality of each and every individual varies. When the larynx goes down, the reasonating space increases, causing a more chesty sound, just like a big bell vs a small bell.

Same goes for a raised larynx, you will have less reasonance and voice tends to sound nasal.

So guys, play around with this technique for greater emotions in your songs.

Talk soon

Common Vocal doubts

Ever thought that one need to learn to breathe to sing?
The answer is a most probably a no. Why?

Actual singing is a more expressive way to deliver your message, so the normal method is to speak. Why create more effort during singing when you want to deliver a more expressional message. When you laugh and cry, do that take you extra effort to think?

Instead of focusing on the common breathing mistakes and diaphragmatic compression, the objective of my lessons is to produce a singing voice that is released and minimal from tension.

So why some people run out of air during singing?
I believe strongly that singing is just like speaking. Subconsciously when you speak, chances are you will not run out of air. However, if you do, the reason is that you push too much air through your vocal cords causing your cords to be unavailable to perform a full cord closure( a falsetto ).
One need to have a balance air flow with cord closure to produce a sound desirable in not just speaking and also singing.
If a person has a correct air flow and overcompression with cord closure, the sound is most proably going to be squeezed or nasal.
