Week 97: Voice Qualities: Cry/Tilt Quality

I am continuing to cover "Voice Qualities" for several weeks relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when singing. '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. We use a combination of Speech Quality & Cry/Tilt Quality constantly within the commercial music of pop & rock, as well as musical theatre.
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.
