Having dealt with relating Twang to the Anatomy for 2 weeks, I'm revisiting where & how we use Twang resonance this week.
1. Twang has nothing to do with your Nose! Twang should not be nasal, unless you make a character choice to use nasal twang, e.g. Panto Witch.
2. Twang is NOT a pure Voice Quality. It is a very versatile, safe resonating device/ring of muscle used in commercial music, MT & in Opera.
3. Your Twanger or aryepiglottic sphincter is a resonating device located above the vocal folds. It is the squillo of Opera; ringing & intense.
4. Carefully crafted Twang exercises are fabulous for sorting out many vocal weaknesses & problems in all styles of music. Perfectly safe!
5. Twang thins the Vocal Folds, assists in tilting the thyroid, helps negotiate the middle transition (Break!) & helps to prevent driving air!
