    Phonation and Resonation

    Uploaded by

    Lorenz Edward Sarrondo
    This document provides information about phonation and resonance in singing. It discusses how phonation involves the vocal cords and breathing mechanisms and occurs during exhalation. Proper phonation starts from the abdominal area. Resonance is the amplification of tones produced by the voice and involves keeping the mouth and head cavities open. The primary resonators are the pharynx, nasal cavities, and mouth. Exercises are provided to practice phonation and resonance.

    DAY 2

    PHONATION AND RESONATION


    PHONATION
    ■ It is the act of producing vocal sound in either speech or singing.
    ■ Involves the vocal chords and breathing mechanisms discussed on Day 1.
    ■ Relaxation of the tongue and throat are crucial in producing the ideal singing voice.
    ■ Nerve impulses originating in the abdominal area help the vocal folds to close
    properly for singing or speech. Thus, the sound must start with the breath from the
    abdominal area as the abdominal muscles lift the air up and out across the vocal
    folds. The process is fourfold:
    1. Inhalation
    2. Suspension, a brief interlude after inhalation
    3. Exhalation, or breathing out
    4. Recovery
    ■ Phonation occurs in step three, exhalation, and the start of the sound is called the
    attack or initiation.
    ■ Phonation must begin with the initiation occurring deep in the breathing apparatus,
    not in the throat.
    ■ In order to initiate sound properly in singing, we must leave the vocal folds and
    throat area open and relaxed during inhalation, suspension, and the beginning of
    exhalation, in one continuous process

    EXERCISES
    RESONANCE
    ■ Resonance is the amplification and enrichment of tones produced by the voice.
    ■ When we talk about resonance, we're talking about singing with fullness and space.
    ■ Resonance is greatly facilitated with open space in the mouth and throat, coupled
    with the correct movement of air.
    ■ Primary Resonators:
    1. The pharynx - the primary resonator -the area behind the mouth that extends
    down into the throat and up into the nasal area.
    2. The nasal cavities
    3. The mouth
    ■ The amount of resonance in the voice is determined by our ability to keep the mouth
    and head cavities open and relaxed while we sing. The result is what we often hear
    referred to as an open, freely produced tone.
    The Soft Palate
    ■ The soft palate is the membranous and muscular extension of the hard palate in the
    roof of the mouth. It serves as a partition separating the mouth cavity from the nasal
    cavity.
    ■ The soft palate should always be raised when singing. ALWAYS.
    ■ When the soft palate is normal, or down, the sound is unpleasant and nasal.
    ■ Mini-exercise: The Pinch Test
    FEELING FRUSTRATED? That’s completely normal!

    Training the human resonating system to


    amplify, reinforce, and enrich the vocal tone
    is not usually accomplished in a short time.
    It is primarily an activity of memorizing
    sensations, and much of the early learning
    involves trial and error. But it is encouraging
    to know that, once acquired, vocal resonance
    skills are learned for good. Much like
    learning to ride a bicycle, once you have
    learned, you will retain the ability.
    Exercise:
    Repeat a note, progressively matching the space and size you see below.
