Hi everyone! In this video, we are finally covering some basic glottal behavior. In this video, we discuss something commonly referred to as "mixed" voice but under the framework of "thick" and "thin". This is controlled primarily by vocal fold mass and it has significant effects for gender implication. This video covers basic information, ear training, how to use, 8 exercises to find thinness, and extra theory information. This video is based on the free document provided HERE. 8 Basic Approaches for Thickness Reduction: 1. Pitch Slides for Thinness 2. Thick - Thin Pop Test 3. Pure Mimicry 4. Physical Compression of the Head and Neck 5. Onset and Offset Based Approaches 6. Behavioral Triggers 7. SOVTe for Thinness 8. Voiceless Thick & Thin The exercises provided are different approaches to try and help student's discover and find their "thinner" voice quality. Work to isolate the "thick" and "thin" sound quality. Once you manage to find thinness, count to ten read a paragraph, or speak out loud to yourself to try and apply the thinness to speech. While vocal fold mass is rooted in physiology from hormones and genetics, users can take control of the voice and behaviorally manipulate the vocal fold mass across a great spectrum of options. Gaining control over vocal fold mass is a critical control for vocal freedom. Those who gain expertise in the realm of thickening and thinning, thereby gain the ability to fluidly manipulate a fundamental sexually dimorphic element of voice. warmly, z
