Description:
Experience the Resonance of Voice in the final episode of Vocal Canvas, a podcast series exploring the 5 aspects of voice. Resonance is the amplification, enrichment or modification of our voice achieved through intention of placement. Imagine the booming voice of a war general or the nasally sound of someone speaking through a cold. The difference in where the sound wave vibrations bounce causes a change in the the sound of voice or vocal expression. Listen first hand to the differences between a bee and a bear, the echos of a tour guides’ voice in an ancient cavern, or from waves of life and house calls.
