Jeremy demos vowels v vocal tract shaping - excerpts from our Vocal Process "Learning Lounge Deep Dive" features an in-depth discussion and demonstration on how the shape of the vocal tract and tongue position affect the production of vowels in singing. Here's a summary of the key points discussed:
Vocal Tract Shaping: The video emphasizes the importance of airspaces within the vocal tract. Changes in tongue position can significantly alter the vocal tract's shape, affecting the sound's resonance.
Back Pressure and Air Mass: It's explained that air within the vocal tract has its own mass, creating upstream flow and pressure levels. This can cause different sensations for the singer depending on the vowel being sung, as each vowel might require adjustments in the vocal tract's shape.
Adjustments in Singing: The distinction between holding a vocal tract setting constant while changing vowels, and maintaining a vowel while altering the vocal tract setting, is explored. This demonstrates the flexibility and control required in vocal adjustments to achieve desired sound qualities.
Demonstration: A practical demonstration is given where different vowels are sung with the same resonating shape versus changing the resonating shape. This illustrates how the same vowel can produce different sensations and sound qualities based on the vocal tract's configuration.
Application in Singing: The video discusses how different vocal tract settings can be used to produce various voice qualities, even when singing the same vowels. This is crucial for singers across different genres to convey their intended emotional and musical expressions effectively.
Conclusion: The ability to manipulate the vocal tract's shape and resonance is crucial for singers to produce different vowels and voice qualities. The video suggests further resources for practical applications of these techniques in singing.
