Week 14: Vocal Inconsistences & Difficulties

Dealing with recognising & remedying vocal inconsistences & difficulties this week. An experienced diagnostic ear is essential in teaching
1. Muscular action controls the breath support system, movement of the larynx, engages the resonators & alters the shape of the pharynx & mouth.
2. If muscles are working properly, the voice will emerge as desired, but imbalanced muscular actions will adversely affect the emerging sound.
3. Collapsed Posture is a misalignment of the spine. When present, the breath support system & anchoring systems for the larynx won't work well.
4. The Larynx cannot function properly if the back of the neck is collapsed & the jaw is protruding. Alignment of the spine is crucial here.
5. Tone deafness is a very rare condition. Singing in tune is a function of correct breath support & position of the larynx in the throat.
