Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Yvonne Sellers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Loretta Robinson, Advisor Karen Peeler C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Crystal Yvonne Sellers 2009 Abstract ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer With roots in the early songs and Spirituals of the African American slave, and influenced by American Jazz and Blues, Gospel music holds a significant place in the music history of the United States. Whether as a choral or solo composition, Gospel music is accompanied song, and its rhythms, textures, and vocal styles have become infused into most of today‘s popular music, as well as in much of the music of the evangelical Christian church. For well over a century voice teachers and voice scientists have studied thoroughly the Classical singing voice. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding Classical singing vocal function, ways of building efficient and flexible Classical singing voices, and maintaining vocal health care; more recently these studies have been extended to Pop and Musical Theater voices. Surprisingly, to date almost no studies have been done on the voice of the Gospel singer. Despite its growth in popularity, a thorough exploration of the vocal requirements of singing Gospel, developed through years of unique tradition and by hundreds of noted Gospel artists, is virtually non-existent.

  • Charlin Neal Bio 2019
    Many are gifted with a talent for music. But there are some who have been anointed from birth to sing God’s praises. One of those blessed individuals is Charlin Neal. With a throat made of gold and a passion for God, this young woman is set to release a new sound to the body of Christ. Her exceptional vocal skills have made the Gospel music industry sit up and take notice, placing her in the company of the greats of Gospel and Christian music including Jonathan McReynolds, Jason Nelson, Chris Tomlin, Gungor, Ricardo Sanchez, Lucia Parker, and BJ Putnam. Since 2007, she’s best known as a member of the multiple award-winning ensemble Israel & New Breed. Now this songstress has stepped from the shadows into the spotlight as she introduced her debut recording, an EP entitled More Of You on April 1st, 2016. Just in time for the Holiday season, Charlin hit the stage again with another EP that dropped December 9th, 2016, entitled Lamb Of God! Although some may say that she flaunts a sultry sound and piercing tone similar to Yolanda Adams and mid-tempo rhythms comparable to BeBe and CeCe Winans, she is forging a sound that’s truly her own. She says, "My lyrics are simple love songs to our Father, and Him speaking directly to us. I feel that these lyrics are exactly what the world needs to hear today. I pray it touches the heart of someone who has never heard of the name Jesus Christ. I pray that lives would be changed dramatically, hearts would be so vulnerable that God can intervene and heal, restore, renew, use, and strengthen, ultimately with souls drawn to Christ.

It is not just because I am a Christian and a minister that gospel music is my favorite genre. I love it for a number of reasons. First, the uninformed view gospel music through the narrow lenses of Eurocentric hegemony. The beliefs that singing gospel music destroys voices, that all of it sounds the same, that gospel music is not worthy of ‘serious study’ is erroneous and denies the very fabric of American musical history.

It argues that these diverse expressions of Christian faith-fuelled abundance can be understood as a movement, for they stem from a cohesive set of shared understandings. First, the movement centered on Faith. It conceived of faith as an “activator,” a power given to believers that bound and loosed spiritual forces and turned the spoken word into reality. Second and third respectively, the movement depicted faith as palpably demonstrated in wealth and health. It could be measured in both in the wallet—one’s personal wealth—and in the body—one’s personal health—making material reality the measure of the success of immaterial faith.
