Week 96: Voice Qualities: Speech Quality

I am continuing to cover "Voice Qualities" for several weeks relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when singing. '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. Speech Core Resonance should always be present in every quality & style of #singing forming the centre, character & quality of your voice.
