As a voice teacher, I have often said to my students, "I wish I could show you what is going on inside...I wish I could bisect my body so you could see the mechanics." And BOOM. Here it is. Thank you!
I’m trying to get better at singing, and I’m a very visual, and mimicry learner, and this method of teaching just makes everything click, and I get it in three trys, instead of years of training!
I'm speech and voice therapist, and I give a presentation about voice to ENT doctors, and I use this as an example, they were so happy to show them how to take care their voices while sing and speak ❤
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover learn how to sing really good try Megarno Super Singer Magician(should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got great success with it.
WowI I am recommending this to my musical theatre students, my acting students, my international dialect adjustment students, not to mention every actor, singer, acting teacher and voice trainer I know! Thank you so much!
After hardly relaxing years, I recently and happily graduated from med-school; also, I’ve always loved music, music theory, and sound synthesis… and to me all of these things-physiology, creativity, art, images, education-have come to appear as such a nice, wondrous fluid puzzle. Anyway… this video is much, much appreciated. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a classical singing teacher and I finaly find a confirmation of what I feel : the opera sound is not produced by a low position of the soft palate (as many people think), but by a low position of the tongue combine with a relax position of the soft palate that let pass a bit of air over it through the nose. So nice to see it in action !
Very cool, love the comparisons. Kind of makes me think about when Pavarotti sang with Freddie Mercury, you could hear the clear opera vs rock difference.
That's gold. Thx a lot for that comparison between styles of singing. I wish I could see the front side of normal projection of your face while see an MRI projection aside...
Thanks. Loved it. I teach voice and my PT suggested I watch this! So cool. Wonderful you could stay on pitch and sing through the intense sound of the MRI ha!!
How about extreme rock vocal techniques?) It would be interesting to see how all these desribed anatomical elements, which participate in singing, will change in case of, for example, growling or screaming?)
@@StigPrice I guess, if you widen the definition of singing to include growling and screaming it could be called singing. And in spite of taste, I have no problem with definitions being widened. I am familiar with the sound, as Ive friends who listen to it.
@@bellezavudd firstly those growls..very similar to Mongolian throat singing. Secondly screaming like actual to the definition screaming is shouting and is not what you are hearing in what your friends are listening to. What you are hearing is 'screaming' which is a form of singing utilising fry and is at almost a spoken volume. It's not a person actually screaming into a microphone. (And when it is, they don't have long careers) It'd a vocal technique that is very much a part of singing as belting a clean line.. Thirdly not sure you actually know what the definition of singing is to beging with as there is 0 need to widen it.
man he has all the resources to use mri and sing and manages to get every type of singing crazy wrong, of course especially the operatic one, this is just sad
maybe he refers to the technique "downward and backward attack (as the note gets higher)". even in one of pavarotti's interview he explained the backward thingy as to not strain the voice. im a music student and that is how my voice prof explains to me sometimes so that i can visualize what i should do.
This is wonderful - and so helpful for middle school students, who get squeamish and silly with some of the other vocal videos out there, since it looks way too similar to other body parts!! :)
This video was enough for me to subscribe to this channel. AMAZING. As a person who loves singing and phonetics lover, I can absolutely appreciate this video. It's UNBELIEVABLE how you change styles and the ability you have to change the place of your organs of speech. I'm speechless.
Wow, just wow... I can't help rewatching this video over and over again, it's so useful. My vocal couch used to say that a larynx should always stay low (but if i tried to make my vocal box stop moving, the sound became worse). Now I can prove him wrong ;3 Thanks! Wish I could see even more singing-in-the-MRI videos: showing a female singing, or the diaphragm breathing... Maybe focusing on the nasal pharynges (I can see that your cavities darkens sometimes, but can't get any more details)
I have this idea. Using a series of snapshots showing tongue positions for all constants and vowels, as well as their transitional states, a computer program can be written to animate recorded pronunciations for various words spoke. Such an app would be invariably useful as a visual aid for teaching pronunciation of second language students. Right now as a teacher I can only describe tongue positions and sometimes throat behavior but it’s very hard to convey to students who struggle with the language itself, much less pronunciation here we have completely accurate anatomical diagrams with timings.
My goodness! This is genius, as trying to draw them myself proves rather complicated for a lover of accuracy like me. XD Gosh, I want to do this so bad but am just in highschool. I want to be a second language teacher too.
@@dan3rufig862 Would you mind chatting with me about your master's thesis? I would *love* to know more! Are you studying linguistics btw? This is so incredibly fascinating to me!
There are some applications that currently do this, and is regularly used in speech therapy. However, it doesn't include the transitional state between different sounds. But check out Speech Tutor - it has animations that you can play at different speeds or slide through the production of the speech sound, and you can view it from the side or front. Hopefully that's helpful!
I must say, I love the sound of the intro theme of this series It's jazzy and exactly how I love sounds. Have you every thought of making a full version of your theme? It'd be a wonderful tune to listen to
so im curious, if i want the air to travel through the nasal cavity do i have to raise the soft palate or just keep it in the natural position? would love to hear from anyone who has answer to this question, many thanks!
Holy crap, why does the tongue look so damn cute? It's like a wiggly cat right before it chases something. You know, like when they do the butt wiggle? Or when they're twitching like they can't decide whether or not to go for it? It's like a feline slime monster from a D&D style game. Adorable.
Great knowledge video. Thank you for sharing such high end knowledge. Does eating row hard carrots improve singing? As it will give big exercise to mouth. Could you please advise.
Wow that could get helpful! Hopefully one day available to every singing student. It could provide a lot of help. Just a little note, I had no idea that the difference would first be so subtle ...I would have expected greater distinctions of the varios singing styles. Could you do more videos on certain parts of the voice like high laryxn vs. low larynx...or so? :)
