Webinar with Kenneth Bozeman: Why Bother With Acoustic Vocal Pedagogy?

Most of the acoustic energy activated by singing stays within the vocal tract—only a small percentage is radiated for the outside world to hear.  This internal energy interacts with the vibrating vocal folds, either helping or hindering their function, and requires skillful resonance tuning per situation (pitch, vowel, timbral aesthetic) to maximise functional efficiency.  Tuning vocal tract resonances well is therefore an exceptionally fruitful pedagogic strategy and depends upon an understanding of the necessary migrations of sound and sensation output targets across range. This presentation will introduce and demonstrate application of the main components of acoustic vocal pedagogy.
