Summary: Simply speak simply. The idea of this section is to
allow the vocal folds to vibrate freely without obstruction from tension.
Starting with vernacular speech, you speak with projection, then speak with
line, then speak with clearly defined vowels, and finally speak with the whole
instrument. Free-flowing air is the focus of CH5. It describes multiple
exercises that promote natural air flow and allow a freeing sensation for the
vocal folds. While Smith frequently points out that it’s not about range, he
also repeatedly drills into his readers that with these exercises, the free-flowing
air technique will help with increasing range… CH6 focuses on balancing the
ideas learned in CH4 and CH5 to achieve chiaroscuro.
Key words:
Invention – something that takes existing materials and organizes them into a
new form for a new use.
Projection – it connotes usage of our regular voice but with more intensity and
focus.
Speaking with line – it’s speaking with legato, but line has imagery attached
of a continuous line that has a definite beginning and end without interruption.
Application: Practice practice practice. Okay, so we need to
break down the misconceptions about breathing and allow air to flow naturally
and freely. In doing so, it will allow our voices to achieve a more natural
sound without harming the vocal folds. Balancing speaking with airflow.
