Week 46: Twang (Part 2)

Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when training. I'm dealing with Twang for a 2nd week.
1. Twang can be used in all voice qualities and is a resonating device which makes the sound brighter and more intense.
2. Think of Twang as being the Tonic of a Gin & Tonic! We have to mix in just the right amount appropriate to the voice quality & musical style.
3. Learning to use Twang gives the singer a great advantage, as less energy is used in producing sound when employing this resonator.
4. Through Twang, the singer can access the higher notes of the range more easily and safely, as the true vocal folds are in a thin state.
5. The Singer can slide through transitions of register from low to middle and middle to high with greater ease by employing Twang resonance.
