Examination was made using CQEGG and FFT spectra. Hypotheses included; the initial // vowels having shorter closed quotients than the vowels that occurred after the /i/ vowels and the harmonic amplitude of H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, and H7 in the region of formant one and two (F1, F2) of the initial vowel being lower than that for the // vowels that were followed by a /i/ vowel. Results include initial // vowels and those following the /i/ vowels having consistent closed quotients and the harmonic amplitudes (H1-H7) in the region of formant one and two being lower for the initial // vowel than the // vowels surrounded by /i/ vowels. Overall, sound energy was more focused in the regions of H3 and H6. These alternating vowel exercises across the secondo passaggio allowed the singers to focus sound energy and employ resonant voice, a target vocal production for many vocal professionals. GLOTTAL CYCLE OF OPEN // AND CLOSED /i/ HEAD VOICE VOWELS SUNG BY CLASSICALLY TRAINED MALE SINGERS 4 Introduction Resonant voice is a target production in vocal training (Titze, 2001). For a singer to sing in resonant voice there needs to be a specified mix of laryngeal adjustment, vocal tract resonance and glottal closure. This mix of characteristics lends itself to vibrancy and ease (Titze, 2001). Vibrancy being vocal strength and harmonic content, while ease is the lack of strain and tension in the vocal folds. Not only this, but singers derive a variety of benefits when using resonant voice. These benefits include; sound level remains strong, the voice sounds less pressed and breathy, and the vocal health of the singer remains intact (Titze, 2001). However, little is known about the relationship between the muscular adjustments of the vocal folds, the vocal tract’s properties related to physics, and the acoustic events that occur. With more knowledge about their relationship, new methods of effective instruction could be created. Resonant voice production is important when speaking specifically about differences in adjustments made by classically trained singers when they sing in different registers. With greater understanding of the acoustic phenomenon of resonant voice and how it is produced in different singing registers, there comes a larger and more effective gamut of not only research methods, but instructional methods as well. Falsetto is the register of voice in which there is a strong cricothyroid dominance, less harmonic content, and a presence of breathiness due to the lack of closure of the vocal folds (Henrich et al., 2011). The use of the term falsetto is slightly erroneous as it means “false voice” in Italian. Classically trained professional singers and voice instructors prefer the use of resonant voice while singing. Falsetto does not accomplish this and is not the preferred register to use (Henrich et al., 2001). Head voice is the preferred register to use when seeking high sound level as it has higher harmonic content with almost no presence of breathiness. Henrich et al. (2011) GLOTTAL CYCLE OF OPEN // AND CLOSED /i/ HEAD VOICE VOWELS SUNG BY CLASSICALLY TRAINED MALE SINGERS 5 noted that resonance tuning is a strategy that may be employed to keep harmonic content and sound level high with minimal damage to vocal health and little strain or tension on the vocal folds. These authors stated that the singer makes adjustments to jaw height, pharyngeal space, laryngeal height, tongue position, and lip position so that a resonance frequency of the vocal tract is tuned to match a harmonic frequency from the glottal source signal. By adjusting the vocal tract resonance so that a resonance frequency and harmonic occur close together, the singer creates a sound in which a frequency is strongly resonated and has greater amplitude. The frequency that is resonated strongly depends on the resonance tuning strategy that is employed. Henrich et al. (2011) also noted, sopranos and altos employ resonance tuning in upper parts of their ranges coupling resonance frequency one with the first harmonic, specifically this can begin in the secondo passaggio. Classically trained soloists use this strategy to tune their voices in order to project over the large orchestras they are frequently accompanied by. These authors confirmed that classically trained tenors use coupling of resonance frequency two and harmonic three in a portion of their range to support a higher sound level. More importantly, the singers also adjust resonance so that formants three and four are close together within 2500-3000 Hertz (Henrich et al., 2011). Another note is that singers apply habits of laryngeal and vocal tract adjustments, that originate from speech, into their singing (Bozeman, 2008). These adjustments may inhibit the vibrator and resonator from making the proper adjustments in the more extreme registers of the voice; for instance, the zono di passaggio. Thus, singers must learn how to differentiate the strategies used in speech from those used in singing (Bozeman, 2008). This is related to the zono di passaggio as it is the range of the singing voice in which the muscles of the larynx shift to create the head register sound; making it vital to take into consideration when coaching male GLOTTAL CYCLE OF OPEN // AND CLOSED /i/ HEAD VOICE VOWELS SUNG BY CLASSICALLY TRAINED MALE SINGERS 6 singers on maneuvering in and around their secondo passaggio to keep sound level and resonance high as they are transitioning into the highest portion of their range with the most thyroarytenoid activation (McCoy, 2004). Sound is introduced at the glottis and resonates through the vocal tract and out of the mouth. Titze (2001) discussed the inertive properties of the vocal tract and how they are related to resonant voice. Inertance is the physical property of an air mass being accelerated or decelerated. Titze (2001) said that the inertive properties of the vocal tract feed energy back to the sound source and strengthen the harmonic content of the glottal signal, allowing more efficient vocal fold vibration. In an inertive vocal tract the supraglottal pressure pushing the air column is in phase with the velocity of vocal fold oscillation. He continued by saying that supraglottal pressure and rate of change of airflow are both positive during glottal opening, raising the pressure through the glottis and pushing the vocal folds apart. During glottal closure, rate of change of air flow and supraglottal pressure are both negative, lowering the pressure through the glottis and pulling the vocal folds together. These aerodynamic and tissue interactions assist the vocal folds in oscillation. Titze (2001) stated the general definition of compliance as the changing of volume when force is applied, in the case of singing, to the air in the glottis. In a compliant vocal tract, the supraglottal pressure is not in phase with the velocity of vocal fold oscillation. The supraglottal pressure during opening is always less than during closing. This rising pressure during the open phase of oscillation creates a push but no pull. A compliant vocal tract does not lend itself to efficient vocal fold vibration. This usually causes a shift to falsetto upon entering the secondo passaggio along with lowering the sound level and leading the singer to use an unhealthy method to increase sound level upon entering the register. Thus he made a contrast between the use of an inertive vocal tract and that of a more compliant GLOTTAL CYCLE OF OPEN // AND CLOSED /i/ HEAD VOICE VOWELS SUNG BY CLASSICALLY TRAINED MALE SINGERS 7 one. Using a compliant vocal tract is inefficient, therefore allowing the vocal tract to be as inertive as possible is vital (Titze, 2001). Titze (2001) observed a high frequency dependent inertance pattern with an open mouth model; he said that the inertance is enhanced when the epilarynx is narrowed. With inertance increased at higher frequencies, the singer’s formant can be produced. The presence of the singer’s formant adds ring to vocal quality. Ring is the resonant, trumpet-like overtones most commonly heard in the voices of operatic singers (Sundberg, 1987). His findings include the need to lower and narrow the epilarynx when singing at higher frequencies. However, narrowing the epilarynx is not a widely accepted practice in vocal training (Titze, 2001). Burk et al. (2017) also brings up the use of epilaryngeal narrowing. They found that the narrowing of the epilarynx made it hard for transoral endoscopy cameras to capture the vocal folds in motion.

A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Falsetto Head Voice Tips to Develop Head Voice
    Volume 1 Issue 27 September 04, 2012 Mike Blackwood, Bill Wiard, Editors CALENDAR Current Songs (Not necessarily “new”) Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight Spiritual Medley Home on the Range You Raise Me Up Just in Time Question: What’s the difference between head voice and falsetto? (Contunued) Answer: Falsetto Notice the word "falsetto" contains the word "false!" That's exactly what it is - a false impression of the female voice. This occurs when a man who is naturally a baritone or bass attempts to imitate a female's voice. The sound is usually higher pitched than the singer's normal singing voice. The falsetto tone produced has a head voice type quality, but is not head voice. Falsetto is the lightest form of vocal production that the human voice can make. It has limited strength, tones, and dynamics. Oftentimes when singing falsetto, your voice may break, jump, or have an airy sound because the vocal cords are not completely closed. Head Voice Head voice is singing in which the upper range of the voice is used. It's a natural high pitch that flows evenly and completely. It's called head voice or "head register" because the singer actually feels the vibrations of the sung notes in their head. When singing in head voice, the vocal cords are closed and the voice tone is pure. The singer is able to choose any dynamic level he wants while singing. Unlike falsetto, head voice gives a connected sound and creates a smoother harmony. Tips to Develop Head Voice If you want to have a smooth tone and develop a head voice singing talent, you can practice closing the gap with breathing techniques on every note.

    What the Fach? Voice Dysphoria and the Transgender and Genderqueer Singer Loraine Sims, DMA, Associate Professor, Edith Killgore Kirkpatrick Professor of Voice, LSU 2018 NATS National Conference Las Vegas Introduction One size does not fit all! Trans Singers are individuals. There are several options for the singing voice. Trans woman (AMAB, MtF, M2F, or trans feminine) may prefer she/her/hers o May sing with baritone or tenor voice (with or without voice dysphoria) o May sing head voice and label as soprano or mezzo Trans man (AFAB, FtM, F2M, or trans masculine) may prefer he/him/his o No Testosterone – Probably sings mezzo soprano or soprano (with or without voice dysphoria) o After Testosterone – May sing tenor or baritone or countertenor Third Gender or Gender Fluid (Non-binary or Genderqueer) – prefers non-binary pronouns they/them/their or something else (You must ask!) o May sing with any voice type (with or without voice dysphoria) Creating a Gender Neutral Learning Environment Gender and sex are not synonymous terms. Cisgender means that your assigned sex at birth is in agreement with your internal feeling about your own gender. Transgender means that there is disagreement between the sex you were assigned at birth and your internal gender identity. There is also a difference between your gender identity and your gender expression. Many other terms fall under the trans umbrella: Non-binary, gender fluid, genderqueer, and agender, etc. Remember that pronouns matter. Never assume. The best way to know what pronouns someone prefers for themselves is to ask. In addition to she/her/hers and he/him/his, it is perfectly acceptable to use they/them/their for a single individual if that is what they prefer.

  • Composing for Classical Voice Voice Types/Fach System
    Composing for Classical Voice Alexandra Smither A healthy relationship between composer and singer is essential for the creation of new song. Like all good relationships, communication is key. Through this brief talk, I hope to give you some tools, some language you can use as common ground when working together. Remember, we are all individuals with insecurities and vulnerabilities and our art made together should lean on strengths. Being in the room with someone means they are making themselves available to you: this goes both ways, so do what you can to elevate them in the way that they see fit. Composers, remember that to be a singer is to be an athlete. If we are protective of our ​ voices, it’s because we are only given one and it is very delicate. Additionally, the opera world is not kind. Many singers are constantly dealing with rejection and commentary, not just on how they sound, but on how they look and who they are. Remember this, be compassionate, choose your words wisely and kindly. Your singer will appreciate it and will sing all the better for it. Singers, take the time to think about your voice and singing. What do you love to sing? ​ What sounds do you like, even outside singing? How does your voice work? Share this information joyfully and without shame - the music being written will reflect it more the more you talk about it. Be willing to try things in ways that are healthy and sustainable for your body. Embrace your individual identity as singer, person, and artist.

    THE MESSA DI VOCE AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS AS A TRAINING EXERCISE FOR THE YOUNG SINGER D. M. A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Diane M. Pulte, B.M., M.M. *** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Karen Peeler Approved by Dr. C. Patrick Woliver ______________ Adviser Dr. Michael Trudeau School of Music ABSTRACT The Messa di voce and Its Effectiveness as a Training Device for the Young Singer This document is a study of the traditional Messa di voce exercise (“placing of the voice”) and it’s effectiveness as a teaching tool for the young singer. Since the advent of Baroque music the Messa di voce has not only been used as a dynamic embellishment in performance practice, but also as a central vocal teaching exercise. It gained special prominence during the 19th and early 20th century as part of the so-called Bel Canto technique of singing. The exercise demonstrates a delicate balance between changing sub-glottic aerodynamic pressures and fundamental frequency, while consistently producing a voice of optimal singing quality. The Messa di voce consists of the controlled increase and subsequent decrease in intensity of tone sustained on a single pitch during one breath. An early definition of the Messa di voce can be found in Instruction Of Mr. Tenducci To His Scholars by Guisto Tenducci (1785): To sing a messa di voce: swelling the voice, begin pianissimo and increase gradually to forte, in the first part of the time: and so diminish gradually to the end of each note, if possible.
