The Tongue As A Gateway To Voice, Resonance, Style, And Intelligibility
Thursday 27th October 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
We’d all agree that the tongue is a crucial part in singing as well as speaking!
Yet, there is no literature that solely addresses that organ and its acoustical influence – in other words, how can I manipulate/ execute it for my purpose and why? What does the tongue actually affect/ influence?
This course finally answers the question which has plagued voice users: how does the tongue affect my singing and how can I manipulate it for my purpose?
By working with ultrasound and imagery derived from ultrasound, Angelika Nair has found a regiment of exercises combined with step-by-step instructions and pedagogical tools that help accelerate the learning of various vocal strategies (physioacoustic) and improve the multitudinous challenges of sensory awareness, flexibility, and control within the tongue.
By providing basic anatomical insight and a visual demonstration of what is happening biomechanically and kinetically, the audience will be guided through demonstrations that are each followed by practices of techniques using exercises that replicate a myriad of challenges found in singing (classical/ non-classical) or speaking (stage/presentation).
Also, for the Q & A, participants are welcome to submit their own examples (as PDF) that they have questions to and/or would like to work on in advance (before/on Oct. 22nd).
