vocal knowledge you can trust

brought to you by the National Association of Teachers of Singing

Welcome to Vocapedia

In August 2014, the National Association of Teachers of Singing unveiled Vocapedia, a dynamic new information database that will forever change how information about singing and the science of voice is shared with the teaching community around the world. Vocapedia will feature audio, video and text resources that will provide rational thinking and facts related to the study of voice and singing as a profession as they are currently accepted in the scientific community, from authors who have demonstrated their expertise.

Resource Type: VideoLevel: BasicCategory: Anatomy & Physiology3D view of diaphragmby www.3dyoga.comThis very short video shows a 3-D representation of the diaphragm's movement during respiration.Resource Type: PrintLevel: BasicCategory: Anatomy & PhysiologyA Short Tutorial on Sound Level and Loudness for Voiceby Ingo R. TitzeWith regard to fundamental frequency, sound level (SL) increases about 6 dB/octave, all else being equal. This is the primary reason why females often outsing males on the opera stage if they sing an octave higher. With regard to lung pressure, SL increases about 6-9 dB/with every doubling of lung pressure. The major phenomenon here is increase in peak glottal airflow. The frequency spectrum affects loudness perception if the sound is more than a simple tone.Resource Type: PrintLevel: BasicCategory: Vocal Health and WellnessA Singer's Guide to Vocal Careby Susan VaughnThe author used iterviews with MDs to provide solid information for singers regarding voice care.Resource Type: WebLevel: BasicCategory: Anatomy & PhysiologyAbout the Voice - How the Voice Worksby Lions Voice Clinic, University of MinnesotaThis webpage provides a very basic introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the larynx, and how the voice works. Diagrams are highly schematic.Resource Type: PrintLevel: IntermediateCategory: Vocal Health and WellnessAn Essay on the Evidence Based of Vocal Hygeineby Vishay BhavsarThe study analyzes clinical and biomedical evidence for four aspects of vocal hygiene: the promotion of adequate hydration, the avoidance of caffeine intake, the avoidance of milk products, and advocacy of a warm-up before extended periods of voice use.Resource Type: PrintLevel: BasicCategory: PedagogyAn Introduction to the McClosky Techniqueby Maria ArgyrosThis article is a brief description of the work of David Blair McClosky and the techniques for healthy voice use that he developed over 60 years ago. Mr. McClosky was a pioneer in the field of voice science and his work continues to help singers, music teachers, choir directors, and other professional voice users to regain and enhance a healthy voice. This article explains the essence of the techniques which include body alignment, abdominal breathing, balanced onset, and six specific areas of relaxation of the extrinsic muscles. Application of these techniques provide a physiological approach to vocal production that coordinates the body as a vocal instrument.Resource Type: WebLevel: BasicCategory: Anatomy & PhysiologyAnatomiaby Division of Anatomy - Faculty of Medicine - University of TorontoThis interactive resource provides animated views of the internal structures of the larynx and the mucosa, allowing the user to view animations of muscle contraction in all planes, complete with descriptions and definitions. Additionally, images of a larynx dissection, video clips of normal vocal fold function and of vocal fold pathologies, and some clinical case studies are available. Learning objectives and self-quizzes are also included.Resource Type: PrintLevel: IntermediateCategory: Acoustics/ResonanceAnother Incremental Step in Reviving and Revising Coffin's Favorable Vowel Chartby Ingo R. TitzeIn a previous issue the author proposed a new way of looking at pitch-vowel interaction in singing as promulgated by Berton Coffin. In a yearly update, Dr. Titze writes that the basic goal of understanding why certain vowels are favored at certain pitches has not changed.Resource Type: PrintLevel: BasicCategory: PedagogyAwesome Voices!by Stephen AustinIn this article Dr. Austin discusses the importance of eliminating breathiness from the tone of young singers who are interested in the bel canto tradition. The breathy onset is described as the most common fault in young voices. Teaching a ‘neat and clean’ beginning to the sung tone as experienced when one speaks the word ‘awesome’ can lead to a tone that is clear and ringing.Resource Type: PrintLevel: BasicCategory: Brain & Learning“Break a Leg! The Ironic Effect, Choking, and Other Mind Games."by Lynn HeldingThe author discusses the cognitive substrates of performance failures known in the sports world as "choking" but known to performers as "stage fright" by considering psychological research of the phenomenon dubbed "The Ironic Effect."Advanced Search
