Goals
What do the three skeletal weights want to do?
Be aligned.
What are the three skeletal weights.
Skull, ribs, and pelvis.
What are the sections of the spine?
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx.
What is the significance of the sacrum?
It establishes the curve that you carry through to the rest of your spine.
How many bones does an adult have?
What is goal number one?
Achieve a tall and mobile spine.
What does V.E.E.P stand for?
volume, endurance, emotional connection, and pitch.
How many vertebrae are in an each section of the spine?
7, 12, 5, 5, 4.
What do we train in voice & speech?
The exhale
How many muscles does an adult have?
656.
What is goal number two?
To amplify and harmonize the movement of the diaphragm to restore optimal function of the breathing and vocal mechanisms.
What does S.S.O.A stand for?
Small, steady, outflow, of air
What do you do while silent counting?
You exhale slowly and steadily while repeatedly counting to ten silently.
How many parts go into the voice recipe?
9
What is vocal support?
Absorption
What is goal number three?
To achieve a longer exhale so you never have to push.
What does P.O.O.H stand for?
Pulled inhales, over-inhaling, over-blowing, and holding breath
What is the primary goal of silent counting?
Rib mobility.
Name 4 parts of the voice recipe.
Tempo, rhythm, articulation, pronunciation, pitch, volume, quality, word choice, vocal nonverbals.
What does absorption do?
Allows the stretching of the vocal folds to go further.
What is goal four?
Get all of the ribs moving at the same time and throughout the exhale.
What are the four main causes of lost rib mobility?
Stress, postural imbalances, trauma, and incomplete or inaccurate instruction.
What sister governs the inhale?
The nervous system.
Name all 9 parts to the voice recipe.
Tempo, rhythm, articulation, pronunciation, pitch, volume, quality, word choice, and vocal nonverbals.
What is absorption?
A dynamic balancing by the ribs and surrounding structures of the counter pressure created by the voice. (At all times with variations at onsets and changes of intensity.) The more mobile the ribs the fuller the voice and goal 3 results become more obtainable.
