🚨WATCH FULL VIDEO ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL🚨 (Link in below) Sing on the TILT position!!! Perhaps one of the most integral concepts for the foundation of opera singing. The Laryngeal tilt has to do with the movements of the cartilages of your larynx that affect your voice. These movements make it easier for you to sing higher pitches but you really hardly notice them consciously. However, they are unbelievably important in making your singing effortless. It is typical for an amateur singer to “reach” for high notes. The sensation of reaching for high notes is a choking or tight feeling in the throat. Basically what is happening here, is the larynx is going too high, and the muscles in the larynx are “gripping”. In these cases, the larynx is not tilting, and the false cords are engaging causing a tight or squeezed sound. Singers who mix well in their high register are doing so because the laryngeal muscles are able to stretch and thin the vocal cords while the larynx is tilted. A good example of laryngeal tilt is the resonating sound of the puppy dog whimper, or nay, nay, nay in a high mixed voice. You will notice a buzzy, resonating sensation on your upper palate and high up in the back of your mouth. Some people describe it as a nasty or brassy sound. When a singer is mixing well, the larynx is agile and flexible. The larynx will naturally tilt forward and rise slightly when ascending in pitch, and the larynx will naturally fall back into a more neutral position when descending in pitch. - Susan McAllister-Bee #tilt #belcanto #classicalmusic #voice #voicetips #singingvoice #singing #singingtip #highnotes #yawn #sigh #snarl #opera #operasingerlife #operasinger #liveopera #mask #resonance #vocaltrainer #vocalrange #vocalcoach #singingcoach #singingteacher #tips #diy #train #training #workout #larynx #2024 https://lnkd.in/evT9ahcp
