It's even possible that you were subconsciously aligning the fry frequency with the formants peak, which I understand is part of singing technique?

Interesting comment. I will look at that again. Vibrato in vocal fry isn't really possible, as that would require action of the cricothyroid muscle,, which needs to be basically inactive for vocal fry to occur.

@@praveenb9048 Certainly I was continuing to think of and shape for the sung vowel.

Yes

There is a much newer version available at www.sygyt.com/en/

@@johnnix3990 Thank you💗 I have installed the latest one, but wanted to get the one you are using as it is the same version that I see Robert Lunte using when format tuning, so I hoped to follow along with him when practicing singing.

The version of the software shown in the video is no longer available. But a newer version is available at www.sygyt.com/en/

Hi, I would be happy to clarify any questions you have regarding my teaching or my knowledge about voice pedagogy. I am co-chair of the National Association of Teachers of Singing’s voice science committee, on the editorial board of the Journal of Singing, Professor of Voice and Voice Pedagogy at UT San Antonio, and a member of the American Academy of Teachers of Singing.

​​@@johnnix3990 yep don't take another singer's inflated ego to heart! Actually I think there are a bunch of trolls here who are not singers at all! I would continue to work with him on the connection of the vowels, not to chop it up, legato. And I would work on strengthening his head voice. But he has a great instrument and talent. Keep up the good work with him. Great singers do not become great singers overnight.

Hi, thanks for your note. Some of it was I was about to stop singing, and wasn't singing as loud, so some of the higher harmonics were not as strong (when we sing louder, the vocal folds tend to close more firmly each cycle, and firm closure and a rapid shut off of the flow tends to generate more energy in high frequencies). Second, the /u/ vowel has low first and second resonances (around 300 Hz and 1000 Hz). So above that things won't be as strong simply because there is a gap between that second resonance at around 1000 Hz and the third one up around 3000 Hz.

Thank you! She is a very talented and intelligent singer.

Agreed

@@shutzenko73how old do you think she is?

Thank you!

Heidi, you are so kind!

No one asked for your comment

For sure

Nobody told her to take her shoes off she did that on her own

You may find the latest version of VoceVista helpful - it has a number of displays that might be useful for what you want to do: www.sygyt.com/en/

@@johnnix3990 ARE THOSE DISPLAYS AVAILABLE ON TRIAL VERSION?I CANNOT FIND FORMANT

Yes, as the shape of the vocal tract changes, different frequencies receive more or less boosting by the resonances of the vocal tract. So the differences we hear between 'see' and 'sue' are due to changes in which harmonics are stronger. In the case of 'see,' harmonics with frequencies around 300 Hz and 2000 Hz are strongest, while in the case of 'sue,' frequencies around 300 Hz and 1000 Hz are strong.

Thank you! She is now in her second year of coursework at the University of Maryland - she is getting a MS in speech pathology. She wants to be a singing voice specialist and work with rehabilitating injured singers.

John Nix Wow, that is so amazing! These specialists are seldom and thus precious. Best wishes to her!

Hi, thank you! I should be seeing in soon - she has graduated, and our lessons together are less frequent - but I will see about recording another lessons.

her son's name is Charlie. She has had two more kids since this class was recorded.

@@johnnix3990 plus John you really do a great job filming these students & can you catch more Shoeplay with the girl with her baby if she brings her baby because I think you were falling for her son when you had them sitting on the bleachers .

Thanks!

Thanks, Heidi!

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!

A previous teacher trained him as a baritone. Not me!

Ach, ich fuhl's from Mozart's Magic Flute

The girl with the sperrys on acts as those speerys were hurting her feet in these videos like her feet were killing her bc she kept slipping them both off her n there thru the video

Sarah

She's happily married and has two kids. But thanks for asking.

Yes, I've discovered that ._.

Makes you wonder if her husband ever gets to enjoy her feet

the girl that's happly married that's in this video who constantly plays with her sperrys should just take them off until the end of class so she's more comfortable & focused rather then slipping in & out of her sperrys like you see in the videos.
