Vocal approach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The vocal approach (or tone approach ) represents the physical and mental prerequisite for singing .

description

In order to sing efficiently and to make sung notes as melodious as possible, the singer has to train and optimize his breathing and vocal tract in particular . The most important thing is the targeted and effective use of the muscles involved in singing . A special role in the perception and control of processes to receptors on the vocal folds and in the pharynx to. Through regular practice, the processes pass into the subconscious so that the singer can concentrate on the intonation or the content- related and artistic interpretation of the chants.

By influencing the vocal point in a targeted manner, different timbres and noises can be generated, as they are primarily required for the formation of vowels and consonants .

Influencing

The corresponding perceptions and associated ideas are conveyed by vocal teachers as part of voice training . Many singers associate their vocal approach with certain ideas about resonances or vibrations in the head or body. These usually subjectively however perceived reference zones need not necessarily actually swing or in the formation of the sound to be involved and are sometimes even outside the body. In terms of voice physiology , they are therefore not necessarily verifiable, but can still help the singer to positively influence his voice approach. In addition, there are also objective criteria that can be used to characterize and improve the vocal approach, such as lung function measurements or the measurement of the intensity of the singer's formant .

To a somewhat lesser extent, these considerations apply not only to singers but also to speakers . In a figurative sense, similar considerations apply, including the instrument mouthpieces and the resonators of the wind instruments , to the tone approach of wind instruments (see also approach (wind instrument) ).
