Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy'. I'm dealing with "Voice Qualities" for several weeks. 'Belt Quality' this week.
1. ''Belt' Quality may be described as taking speech quality to a higher level of energy & pitch, and could be called controlled yelling!
2. When producing "Sob/Tilt" quality, the Larynx is in a lower position within the throat, relative to the neutral position of Speech Quality.
3. In "Sob/Tilt" quality, the Thyroid Cartilage tilts forward, stretching the vocal folds & positioning them at an angle above the air flow.
4. As in both "Sob/Tilt" & "Cry/Tilt" qualities, the action of the Thyroid Cartilage tilting forwards enables the #singer to produce vibrato!
5. When the Larynx is lowered in the throat for "Sob/Tilt" quality, the Pharynx (throat) widens, and produces a rich, mellow & dark timbre.
Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy'. I'm dealing with "Voice Qualities" for several weeks. 'Sob/Tilt Quality' this week.
1. Sob/Tilt Quality is the main ingredient within a combination of qualities which forms our classical & operatic sound, as well as crooning!
2. When producing "Sob/Tilt" quality, the Larynx is in a lower position within the throat, relative to the neutral position of Speech Quality.

Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy'. I'm dealing with "Voice Qualities" for several weeks. 'Cry/Tilt Quality' this week.
1. We use a combination of Speech Quality & Cry/Tilt Quality constantly within the commercial music of pop & rock, as well as musical theatre.
2. Cry/Tilt & Sob/Tilt qualities are similar. The thyroid cartilage is tilted, but for Cry/Tilt, the Larynx is relatively higher in the throat.
3. In Cry/Tilt quality, the thyroid cartilage tilts forward, gently stretching the vocal folds & positions them at an angle above the air flow.
4. When using Cry/Tilt quality, the Larynx will be in a higher position within the throat, relative to the neutral position of Speech Quality.
5. Cry/Tilt quality will produce a brighter sound in timbre than that of Sob/Tilt, because of the higher position of the Larynx in the throat.

Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy'. I'm dealing with "Voice Qualities" for several weeks. 'Speech Quality' this week.
1. When using Speech Quality the Larynx is in the mid-point of the throat. This laryngeal position may be called the “neutral” position.
2. In Speech Quality, the true Vocal Folds are in a horizontal position above the air flow. The Thyroid & Cricoid cartilages are not tilted.
3. In Speech Quality the Vocal Folds are closely adducted & generally thicker than for sob/tilt or cry/tilt; the voice sounds clear and direct.
4. There is no particular emotion attached to Speech Quality, but the energy is higher and it works best in the middle range of the voice.
5. There is no particular emotion attached to Speech Quality, but the energy is higher and it works best in the middle range of the voice.
