Sarah Gee ch 10

Articulation is important to resonance as well as important to diction and expression and interpretation. Music heightens the meaning of text only if the text is heard in an intelligible manner. Good pronunciation is enhanced by good articulation and vise versa. vowel production that is very precise is irreplaceable in the clarity of language. when pronouncing a foreign language try your best not to over pronounce the woulds. Diphthongs should stay on the first vowel sound as long as possible before moving on, unless the first vowel is not stressed in speech.
Concepts:
good articulation enhances the meaning of the music.
Vowel production and clarity in diphthongs add so much to the overall performance.
Modifying the vowels on higher frequencies is crucial because those higher pitches require more space and more resonance to sound right to the audience. Make sure that the vowel is still being true to the original vowel.
Words:
vowel formant
unvoiced consonants
voiced consonants
phonemes
vowel triangle
vowel modification
Connections: being true to language and dedicated to knowing and saying the words correctly and with emotion is the most important job of a singer because no other instrument can speak as they make music.
