THE SINGER’S ‘CIRCUIT’ FOR RESONANT SOUND PRODUCTION

When we talk about singing, we are really talking about ‘talk-singing’, since speech is the basis of all singing, whether operatic singing, pop, Broadway, rap, or whatever style; it is all the same exact physiological process. Many people have been taught, and thus believe, that it is the vocal chords (vocal folds) that are the key to sound production, but this is not accurate. Sound production begins with natural speaking. The vocal folds produce a primitive vibration which is not speech, but which is picked up at the mouth and teeth, and turned into speech, and eventually singing.
