Chapter 18 Summary
Oren Brown:
Summary: This
chapter focuses on the importance of hearing. Hearing is an interesting idea,
because it is made up of sound waves hitting an ear drum, and being interpreted
through a neural connection. While everyone hears similar, it doesn't mean that
what you are hearing is what the audience hears. I think the most interesting
thing to me in this chapter is learning about the tensor tympani. It makes
sense that we want to sing louder, higher, because this thing causes the louder
pitches to seem quieter to our ears. We have to associate clear easy, resonate
singing with the part of our voice that is high. This will help us the most,
and will help to us to sing for the longest without fatigue.
Key Concept: Focus
on release and easiness for high pitches. It probably sounds fine to the
audience- if its free to your ears.
Key Terms: Tensor
Tympani
Making Connections:
This is a discussion that Cindy and I have had recently. I am still working to
overcome the notion that I can sing higher in my voice, with no tension. To me,
it sounds way too light and not heard, but to her it sounds full and nice. I
need to learn to trust this!
