Week 43: Relating Sound to the Anatomy (Part 3)

Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when training & dealing with Pitch for a 2nd week this week.
1. As mentioned with Pitch last week, it has to be said that air pressure is not only related to Pitch.  It also relates to Volume.
2. Increases and decreases in the air pressure can affect both the Pitch & the Volume (loudness and softness) of sound.
3. In training the voice it is important not to allow Volume to increase as the Pitch rises, as higher notes will become difficult to produce.
4. Relating Pitch to Volume, the Larynx will not be able to move properly in the throat if the air pressure from below is too great.
5. If the air pressure is too great, the nature of the sound produced can easily become driven or over-blown. Not healthy or the best sound!
