Ep.152 'Tomayto, Tomahto': Understanding Singing Terminology With Line Hilton
Description
Alexa Terry talks about vocal related terminology with BAST founder Line Hilton in Ep.152. Line explains some of the anatomical terminology a singing teacher may encounter in a medical or voice science setting this includes anatomical terms, register names, support and resonance. She and Alexa play a register names pop quiz to see how many of the 107 names they know. Line emphasises the importance of understanding and using terminologies in a flexible and adaptable manner, considering the context and audience.
KEY MOMENTS
'If there really are 107 different names for registers, do we need to know them all? ’
‘What we feel isn't necessarily a correlation to what's going on mechanically.'
‘What does support mean? Pretty much as many people as I've asked, is the amount of answers that I've received.’
