Our Official Tip Writer, Ross Campbell of Royal Academy of Music, London, is continuing with 'Twang Resonance', relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when singing.
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. The Twang sound is produced by the action of the aryepiglottic sphincter muscle, sometimes mistakenly referred to as another voice quality.
2. Twang alters the resonating chamber of the laryngo-pharynx and can affect the sound in all voice qualities. It is a resonating device only!
3. Twang is present in many languages & accents, is a safe way of using the voice,& can be clearly heard in the American & Australian accents
4. Twang acts as a natural amplifying system for the voice, with the added benefit of requiring less work from the true vocal folds.
5. Volume is achieved through resonance rather than just the effort of increased air pressure. Twang has the added benefit
of clear projection.
