TUNING VS MODIFICATION
-
TUNING VS MODIFICATION
Modification is changing the vowel as a single unit

FORMANT ADJUSTMENTS
Chest - higher larynx, wider lips
Upper Chest through Primary Bridge - lower larynx, rounded lips
Bridge to Head Voice - larynx stabilized, drop jaw, widen lips and/or move tongue forward
-
OVER-NARROW VOWELS
-
OVER-NARROW VOWELS
F2 is too low - missing the correct Harmonic
-
OVER-NARROW VOWELS
F2 is too low - missing the correct Harmonic
F2 is on wrong Harmonic or falls between
-
OVER-NARROW VOWELS
F2 is too low - missing the correct Harmonic
F2 is on wrong Harmonic or falls between
Lack of energy sent to vocal cords - squeezing and imbalance
-

-
TRANSITION
-
TRANSITION
Tune F1 with UH
-
TRANSITION
Tune F1 with UH
F2 will need to be relatively low
-
HEAD VOICE
-
HEAD VOICE
Tune F1 with OUH as in book
-
HEAD VOICE
Tune F1 with OUH as in book
Jaw drop to raise F1
-
HEAD VOICE
Tune F1 with OUH as in book
Jaw drop to raise F1
F2 needs to rise for robust sound
-
