  Better Late than Never McCoy Ch. 6

Analyzing the voice was really cool! To see spectrograms of what I hear was very intriguing. I recently recored a solo for a song and watched the solo be edited. It wasn't a spectrogram to be specific, but it had a similar reading. I was able to see some habits of mine that aren't helpful in my singing. These are habits I have been told about, but to physically see it happening was really interesting and helpful. I could see how consistent my vibrato was, the shape of my vibrato, my onsets and offsets, and my pitch accuracy and consistency. Through looking at a spectrogram-type of recording I learned a lot about my voice and my habits. I think analyzing the voice in different ways with different senses will help me be a more effective teacher. I can use sound to hear what my students are producing, touch (when appropriate and consented) to feel the movement of certain muscle, and sight to not only see how their body is reacting, but to visually see the sound they are producing.
