Hey, I know it's late, but I finally got my book!
Summary: Describing vocal music is subjective, it is
interpreted differently from person to person. Instead of using definite terms
to describe a voice, using a scale between the terms allows for more nuanced
interpretations. The quality of voice is affected in multiple ways, some
controlled, others not. Different genres of music require different levels of each
category used to describe a voice. (bright/dark, back/forward, breathy/clear,
clean/raspy, healthy/damaged, nasal/non-nasal, vibrant/straight tone, in
tune/not in tune, good diction/poor diction, stylistically
correct/stylistically incorrect)
Key Words:
Critical listening – Listening with a goal in mind,
generally to improve upon identifying vocal characteristics and to increase
empathic awareness of other singers regardless of gender or voice type.
Application: Listening to learn instead of listening solely
for enjoyment. I need to work on this more in my own life.
