vocal ped final
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| tensor | cricothyroid |
| relaxer | thyroarytenoid |
| adductors | lateral cricoarytenoid transverse oblique |
| abductors | posterior cricoarytenoids |
| name and briefly explain the structure (3 primary layers) of the vocal folds | cover- outside of the vocal folds transition- deep layer body- vocalis muscle |
| "Theory of vocal fold oscillation" | myeolastic-aerodynamic |
| two forces/components of the vocal fold oscillation theory | myeolastic- the vocal folds have an elastic property to them that allows them to return to their natural state "mass-spring" theory aerodynamic- more air pressure means faster moving particles the bernoulli effect |
| what happens when we hear the voice crack | folds stop vibrating for a moment when the two antagonistic pairs exchange to changed registers CA & TA |
| what are the two muscles that are antagonistic when it comes to head voice and chest voice? | cricothyroid is contracted in the head voice, but not in chest. the cricothyroid is responsible for the head voice. The TA is contracted for chest, but not in head. The TA is responsible for the chest voice |
| how were the registers named? | based on where the singers felt the vibrations |
| phonation | creating sound be vibrating the vocal cords |
| posterior glottal gap | incomplete glottal closure, most often found in females |
| glottal onset | pressed onset |
| breathy onset | aspirate |
| coordinated onset | the onset we want to have |
| aspirate phonation | the sound created is breathy due to the glottis being open when the air flow begins |
| passagio | change in registers due to an acoustical change, occurs around D and A flat. F4 is where every singer experiences a change |
| glottis | open space between the vocal folds |
| dendrite | receive information |
| myelin sheath | protective covering/ layer of the pathways |
| body mapping | the image we have of our body in space and how it moves |
| the best way to strengthen and build neural pathways | practice |
| what causes audible inspiration | any impedance |
| what muscle group applies pressure to the viscera | abdominals |
| what is the easiest way to keep the diaphragm down (contracted) during expiration | keeping the ribcage expanded |
| the greatest benefit of inhaling through the mouth | more air at a faster rate |
| when a muscle contracts, it pulls from the point of _________ to the point of ________ | insertion, origin |
| three benefits from breathing through the nose | 1. moist air 2. filter air 3. warm air |
| why is it unnecessary to suck in or pull air int the body during inspiration | lungs are organs, not muscles so they create a vacuum |
| what two acts make the lungs expand | 1. the diaphragm moving down 2. ribcage expands |
| the three directives of the Alexander Technique | 1. let the neck free 2. head forward and up 3. torso expanded and lengthened |
| actuator (motor), vibrator (sound source), and resonator used for singing | motor-breath vibrator- voice box resonator- mouth |
| compression | the air particles come closer together and the pressure builds |
| rarefaction | the air particles move away from each other and the pressure lowers |
| phoneme | the chunks of sound or "bits" that make up words |
| agility | the ability of the voice to move freely |
| messa di voce | crescendo and decrescendo on the same pitch |
| who created the laryngoscope and the founder of "Bel Canto" school of singing | Manuel Garcia |
| frequency is perceived as | pitch |
| frequency is measured in | Hertz |
| amplitude is perceived as | loudness |
| amplitude is measured as | decibels |
| the most neutral vowel and why | the schwa because the tongue is the most relaxed and in the most neutral position |
| what vowel is highest in frequency and greatest in muscle | [i] |
| what vowel is lowest in frequency and most lax in muscle | [u] |
| what is the resonating tube for singers | the vocal tract |
| range of frequencies associated with the singer's formant | 2500-3200 Hz |
| the two components of vibrato | 1. jitter- frequency 2. shimmer- amplitude |
| the two lip vowels | [o] and [u] |
| what are the three primary articulators | tongue lip jaw |
| formant | regions of concentrated acoustic energy |
| the frequencies associated with the first two formants | 500-1500 Hz |
| what does lip spreading (smile) do to the formants | raise the formants |
| what formants create the perception of vowels | the first two formants, F1 and F2 |
| for the vowel [i] are formants close together or far apart | far apart |
| what does raising the tongue do to the formants | moves them far apart |
| what happens to the tongue when you move from [i] to [u[ | the tongue moves back and down |
| why can singers be heard over the orchestra | the singer's formant is a region where the orchestra resonance dips |
| what does lowering the larynx do to the formants | lowers the formants |
| three reasons to lengthen the vocal tract | 1. balance out a high note 2. efficiency/ easier to produce certain tones 3. lower the formants |
| two reasons F sharp 4 is difficult to sing | 1. in the middle of a passagio, CT vs TA 2. not a multiple of 500 or 1500 Hz |
| what is vowel modification | approaching a neighbor vowel to balance the fundamental and overtones so that efficiency and resonance is achieved throughout the range |
| what is formant tuning | adjusting the articulators and the vocal tract to move the frequencies around |
| why should we use vowel modification or formant tuning | to adjust the frequencies and the vowel shape |
| an example of a vowel modification | in the upper register the singer might move [o] to [a] because it drops the jaw and allows the note to ring |
| an example of formant tuning | pulling back the lips to shorten the vocal tract |
| would you want open or closed vowels when singing high notes in a classical style | open |
| axon | what messages are sent through |
| soma | body of the neuron |
| neural pathway | connected systems of neurons |
| source-filter theory | source- the vocal folds filter- vocal tract, what we shape to enhance certain resonances and dampen others |
| four properties of a musical tone | 1. frequency 2. amplitude 3. timbre duration |
