About this Laryngeal Registers, SOVT’s & Pitching: Practice Group

This practice group will cover in detail the practical exercises and concepts from the Laryngeal Registration Component Workshop.

Concepts we will focus on include:

• Effort Levels at the Vocal Folds
• Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises as a tool to finding flow phonation
  • Balancing air flow and vocal fold closure and compression
• Primal Sound triggers to easily access different laryngeal registers
• Learn how the vocal folds change for efficient pitching and variations in dynamic
  • Body-Cover Condition of the vocal fold edges: Thick, Thin, Stiff, Slack
• Laryngeal Mechanism: M0, M1, Mx1, M2, Mx2, M3
  • Modern scientific definitions of: Vocal Fry, Modal, Middle Register, Head Register, Chest Register, Falsetto and Whistle Register
  • Explorations of ‘chest voice’, ‘head voice’, ‘mixed voice’ or ‘Voix Mixte‘, ‘passaggio‘ and ‘cover’
• Exercises to build strength and efficiency in the different laryngeal mechanisms (laryngeal registers)
• How to easily transition through different registers without breaks or clunks
