Registers
A particular part of the vocal range, resonance area, similar timbre, region of the voice defined by breaks. What am I?
What is a register?
refers to variations in sound and physical sensation that change in response to adjustments in the vocal mechanism- is an example of what?
What is the term registration or register in which a register is considered a metaphor?
Name important articulators for singing.
What are the lips, tongue, jaw, and pharynx?
Other considerations: soft palate and glottis.
What are three considerations that lead to consonant classification?
What are: place of articulation, manner of articulation, and if they are voiced or unvoiced?
What are articulatory shapings that result in more loft resonance?
What are:Lengthened vocal tract, Convergent Resonator (Inverted megaphone), Wider pharyngeal
space, Neutral low laryngeal position, and Fundamental Frequency and Singer’s formant provide acoustic energy

What are the elevator muscles of the mandible to close the jaw?
Masseter
(cheek to jawline)
Temporalis -BITING
Internal pterygoid
[p], [b], are examples of what type of consonant category?
What are bilabial consonants?
What formants cluster together to boost voices over an orchestra?
What are the third, fourth, and fifth formants?
Chest, head voice, and falsetto, are all registers that typically define what types of voices?
Testosterone influenced larynges at puberty, or tenor/bass voices
What is the laryngeal slide rule purported by Ragan in terms of registers?
What are Mode 1 and Mode 2?
Note: That also takes into account Physiological laryngeal
source and acoustic occurences.
What are the major depressor muscles of the jaw that open the jaw and raise the larnyx?
Mylohyoid, Geniohyoid, Digastric (anterior), and
External pterygoid?
“th” [θ] and “th”[ð] are examples of what type of consonants?
What are lingua-dental consonants?
What are characteristics of oral resonance?
What are: a raised soft palate, NO nasalized sound,
a narrowing of a nonspecific region of the pharynx and epilarynx tube which raises
the first formant = brighter vowels
D4-G5 is an example of what type of vocal section?
What is the comfortable range for soprano voices?
What are the four variables of consideration when defining registers currently?
What are: breath pressure and air flow, laryngeal configuration, acoustic variations created in the vocal tract, and perception?
What are some examples of conditions that contribute to an overly dark tone in singing?
What are over dropped jaw, depressed larynx, soft palate lowered, and tongue retraction?
What articulator is the main articulator of Lingua-alveolars – [d], [t], [l], and [n] also flipped [r] “very” consonants?
A shortened vocal tract, divergent resonance, narrow pharynx, neutral high laryngeal position, and energy about Fo dominates the sound spectrum to result in what type of tonal outcome?
What is twang?
C3-C5 is an example of what type of voice with extensive training?
What is the tenor voice?
When talking about registers, what constant muscles are at interplay?
What are the CT and TA muscles?
*we now know other factors are also at play!
What are some contributing factors in articulatory shaping that would lead to an overly bright tone?
What are: neck tension, clenched jaw, high laryngeal position, and lip spreading?
what consonants induce nasal resonance?
What are [m], [n], [ŋ], [ɲ]?
Where do formants come from and how can a singer change them? What two do we talk about mostly?
What is the vocal tract?
Formants change based on the size, shape,
density of walls, and size of opening of the
vocal tract
• We talk about two formants mostly
• Formant 1: The pitch of the air behind the
tongue (pharynx)
• Formant 2: The pitch of the air in front of the
tongue (oral cavity)
