Anatomy
The first bump when you slide your finger down from your chin
Estrogen based singers larynx is comparable to
A dime
The three types of breathing are
diaphragmatic, thoracic, clavicular
"Belt" is
chest register dominant singing
If you use more head register, you warm up
chest register, and vice versa
Define adduction and abduction
Adduction: cartilage comes together to make a sound/phonate (vocal folds meeting at the midline) to create a soundwave (z)
Abduction: To open cartilage and create a voiceless sound (s)
Testosterone based singers larynx is comparable to
A nickel to a quarter
Diaphragmatic breathing is
"belly breathing," sucking in air
*you can't breathe through the diaphragm
Crico-thyroid is also called
C.T., head register, falsetto. long quotient
Vocal benefits, and an example of each
Topically- steam with saline, nebulizer, salt water gargle, brush teeth when sick
Systemic- genetics, effects of medication, resting the day before
Intrinsic muscles control these things in the vocal folds
1) length and tension
2) opening and closing
Name the 3 small cartilages of the larynx
Arytenoid, Corniculate, and Cuneiform
Thoracic breathing is
Chest breathing, expansion of the ribs
Thyroarytenoid is also called
T.A., chest register, speaking voice, "stabilizer, sprinter". short quotient
What should you ask for in a case of intubation?
Child size tube
The second bump when you slide your finger down from your chin
Thyroid cartilage (adams apple): biggest cartilage of the larynx, right under hyoid bone
Name the 3 large cartilages of the larynx
Thyroid, cricoid, epiglottis
Clavicular Breathing is
high, shoulder breathing, smaller expansion of ribs, contracting muscles
The crico-thyroid ____
controls pitch, is flexible, long and lean, and is worth developing by itself
The best way to build vocal strength
is slides
(Power) - Practice and demonstrate respiration into phonation. Lungs
(Source) - Explore registration (chest/head/chest mix/head mix) - Larynx
(Filter) - Examine and demonstrate the use of filters to shape sound. - Pharynx/Oral Cavity
The three areas of the larynx are
outer layer;mucosa, ligament, and the muculus vocalis (thyroarytenoid)
Both inhalation and exhalation have an effect on
subglottal air pressure
Tension is
through exercises
