Research in singing


Synopsis 1

At this time, techniques and tool available to voice scientist are improving. This research has developed in to three main streams: acoustic studies such as laryngeal vibration efficiency and vocal tract resonance, clinical medical studies. Singing is a whole body/mind and energy field endeavor and we must begin to look to many more diverse areas of research that will aid in the quest for vocal excellence and performing in the public arena.

As more comprehensive approaches to teaching and research on singing evolve we need to explore questions relating to the dynamic muscular balances needed throughout the body for singing. These include: how balance or lack of balance affect the functioning of the laryne, pharynx, jaw, diaphragm, etc.; and the natural and spontaneous reflex actions of the body that produce the easiest, most beautiful sounds.

 

Observation and Thinking

The study of the biomechanics of the the body during singing has been largely ignored, compared to the huge amount of research, training, and equipment devoted to biomechanics by coaches and trainer of athletes. Energy work are providing great improvement for many performers, and yet little has been done to document their effects on singing. Simple exercises and muscles testing to help balance the right and left sides of the brain.
