Week 98: Voice Qualities: Sob/Tilt Quality

Our Official Tip Writer, Ross Campbell of Royal Academy of Music, London, is continuing to cover "Voice Qualities" for several weeks relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when #singing. 'Sob/Tilt Quality' this week.
These free tips serve as samples from the NEW singing book out NOW: " Singing - An Extensive Handbook For All Singers And Their Teachers", also written by Campbell and available directly at: http://www.thesingersportal.com

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.
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.
