Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when training. I'm dealing with "Voice Qualities" for several weeks.
1. The basic "Voice Qualities" I refer to in singing & which can define all genres of music are: Speech, Cry/Tilt, Sob/Tilt, Belt, & Falsetto.
2. Relative positions of the thyroid, cricoid and arytenoid cartilages & their effect upon the vocal folds create different Voice Qualities.
3. The position of the Larynx in the throat, whether high, neutral or low has great impact on the Voice Quality produced & can be controlled.
4. The most easily recognised quality is Sob/Tilt, sounding mellow & dark in timbre & of major importance in all styles of classical singing.
5. In order to create Sob/Tilt, the larynx is lowered and the thyroid is tilted, which positions the vocal folds at an angle above the airflow.
