From Flow Ball To Flow Phonation
Thursday 23rd June 2022, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)
Unlike instrumentalists, singers need to coordinate non-visible internal systems (i.e., breathing, vibratory, resonatory and articulatory) to produce sounds capable of conveying musicality.
To allow this, tools that facilitate visualisation are very useful.
A new real-time visual feedback tool for displaying airflow during phonation is presented: the flow ball (FB).
The FB acts as a flow meter; thus, its use assists the quality of the primary sound source, i.e., the pulsating transglottal airflow.
It allows efficient vocal fold closure, encourages vocal health and vocal efficiency during singing.
We call this state: Flow phonation

Getting Down to Business: Exploring Business Structures that Provide Creative Flow
Cynthia Vaughn
Unlike other fields of study, no license, apprenticeship, certificates, degrees, or minimum requirements are needed to establish yourself as an independent “professional” voice teacher. That means that anyone can teach singing. And they do. Your goal is to stand out from the crowds and build your studio or creative business with knowledge, integrity, intention, and business acumen.
