Resonance: Sound sculpting

I love this interactive model of the vocal tract - it helps us see how slight adjustments in our mouth and throat shape change our resonance. I think of singers as sound sculptors: we sculpt the medium of a buzzing sound wave created by our vibrating vocal folds and mold that buzzing air into something expressive, communicative, and unique to our body and interpretation. With slight adjustments in our malleable vocal tract, we can achieve impressive nuance and artistry. 

Use the link below to find the interactive Pink Trombone and adjust various aspects of the tongue, throat and lips to see how shaping affects our sound.
