Note by note comparison of strained/unsupported singing versus supported/resonant singing from female Korean vocalists.
DESCRIPTION
STRAIN: A lack of proper support, accompanied by the singer forcing out the note by squeezing the throat muscles together, raising the larynx and potentially having tension in the jaw, neck, tongue, etc. This creates a closed, sometimes yelled sound and is unhealthy for the vocal cords.
SUPPORT: Using proper breathing techniques to ''support'' the voice, achieved by using the diaphragm to control the airflow against relaxed, connected vocal cords, favourably unobstructed by tension or at most hindered by very little tension. This creates a healthy, open sound. Support is desirable for anyone who wishes to sing as supported singing provides vocal longevity, greater creativity, etc. for the vocalist.
It's worth noting that even if a singer has developed proper support, they'll still start straining at some point, depending on how developed their technique is. Likewise, a singer appearing in the ''strain'' category does not mean they necessarily strain throughout their whole range. Most singers have a ''supported range'', in which they're able to properly support their voice, and when singing outside of that range, they'd most likely strain/be unsupported.
