Further information & tips on troubleshooting vocal inconsistencies & difficulties during this week.
1. Pitch is determined by a combination of the position of the larynx in the throat and the air pressure powered by the breath support system.
2. High notes are easier when the larynx is relatively high in the throat, the vocal fold mass is relatively thin & airflow is finely balanced.
3. Cracking on high notes usually occurs when there is too much air pressure beneath the vocal folds & the larynx is not high enough.
4. Thorough preparation in the body in advance of a high note, & realising that “high” does not mean “loud”, will resolve forcing & cracking.
5. Carrying power of a voice depends on correct balance of air pressure & use of resonators; loudness and carrying power are different issues!
