Question 1

Parts in breathing:

Answer 1

Bones, muscles, breathing in, breathing out, support, clavicular breathing.

Question 2

Bones:

Answer 2

Series of vertebrae form spine and rib cage.

Question 3

Muscles:

Answer 3

. Intercostal muscles.
. Diaphragm- dome shaped muscle.
. Abdominal muscles- control movement of diaphragm.

Question 4

Breathing in:

Answer 4

. Intercostal muscles contract- move ribs up and out.
. Diaphragm flattens out.
. Lungs expand.
. Air flows in through nose and mouth.
. Lungs fill with air.

Question 5

Breathing out:

Answer 5

. Exhale.
. Abdominal muscles contract.
. Diaphragm rises.
. Rib cage returns to original position.
. Intercostal muscles relax.
. Air flows out through nose and mouth.

Question 6

Support:

Answer 6

. Supporting voice means having right amount of pressure from abdominal muscles to create right amount of breath force for sound you want to use.

Question 7

Resonance:

Answer 7

Amplification of sound achieved through vibrating.

Question 8

Mouth (oral resonator)

Answer 8

Lower jaw, tongue, lips, hard palate and soft palate are all parts of the mouth that help produce resonance.

Question 9

Pharynx (pharygenal resonator):

Answer 9

. Long muscular tube.

. First resonating space that the note must pass through to get to the nose and mouth.

Question 10

Clavicular breathing:

Answer 10

. Avoid this breathing- ribs move upwards but not outwards when breathing in- holds air in upper lungs and raises shoulders.

Question 11

Voice production:

Answer 11

. Flow of air and vibration produce voice.

. We produce voice on out breath when vocal folds, inside the larynx, vibrate, generating sound.

Question 12

Nose (nasal resonator):

Answer 12

. 2 types of nasal resonance:

• when vibrating air goes through soft palate to nasal cavity (for sounds of ‘m’,’n’ and ‘g’).
• when vibrating air goes through hard palate to nasal cavity (for all vowel sounds).

Question 13

Balancing resonance:

Answer 13

. Involves balance of vibration from pharynx, mouth and nose.
- quality of sound is affected when there is too much resonance from just one of these resonators.

Question 14

Head and chest resonance:

Answer 14

. Secondary resonance because vibrations come from sound waves produced by main three resonators.

Question 15

3 parts of projection:

Answer 15

Audibility, intelligibility, mental projection

Question 16

Articulation:

Answer 16

. Formation of clear and distinct sounds in speech.

Question 17

Breathing:

Answer 17

. Fundamental to life and producing voice.

. Numerous muscles and bones involved in breathing process.
