Dealing with issues of gaining vocal volume against air pressure this week, together with issues of projecting the voice.
1. The volume of a voice is produced by the combination of controlled air pressure and relative thickness of the true vocal folds.
2. When a singer starts to drive air across the true vocal folds in order
to be louder, there is a danger of traumatising the larynx.
3. The strength of muscles within the throat must be built up steadily over
a period of time in order to withstand sustained high air pressure.
4. The muscles of the throat will become weak when constantly forced to
overwork with forced air pressure & rising physical tension.
5. Adding twang resonance is excellent in assisting with vocal projection,
but be advised, volume and carrying power are different issues.
