the sound produced by man (vocal music) and the sound
produced by instrument (instrumental music).
THE VOCAL MUSIC

Vocal music is the oldest and most cultural forms of music.


Voice is produced by the vibrations of the the vocal chords
in the voice box. Since the sound produced by these
vibrations it is not loud enough to be heard, resonators
(lungs, esophagus, head, and mouth cavities) are needed to
increase the volume of the voice.
CORRECT POSITION OF THE BODY , HEAD, AND
MOUTH THAT WILL ENABLE THE AIR TO VIBRATE
FREELY
● CORRECT POSTURE
● CORRECT BREATHING
● CORRECT PLACEMENT OF THE VOICE
● CORRECT DICTION

CORRECT POSTURE

Standing correctly allows the air in the different


body cavities to vibrate and flow fully. Keeping
one foot forward will help maintain body balance.
When seated while singing, keep your back away
from the chair in a rising position.
CORRECT BREATHING

The quality and volume of the voice depends


upon breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing is
advisable, which, as the name implies, is breathing
supported by the diapghram.
CORRECT PLACEMENT OF THE VOICE

To prevent throat singing and develop good tone


quality, never force out the voice. Project the
voice upward towards the head to improve tonal
quality.
CORRECT DICTION

Good diction includes correct pronunciation, clean


enunciation, and distinct articulation.
CORRECT INTERPRETATION

How a singer makes use of his face, eyes, hands,


and other parts of the body assists his voice in
conveying the meaning of the song.
