The voice is the only apparatus that is characterizedby the same word used to portrayits
sound.
When someone is singing it is ratheracceptableto say, ”That vocalist has a
attractivevoice.” When a violinist is
playing it would sound weirdto hear someone say, ”That violinist has a wonderful violin.”
Voice is commonlyused to
recognizeboth the sounds producedby the act of singing and the instrument producingthe
sounds; violin identifiesonly the
instrument.

The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines instrument as: ”A contrivance for
buildingmusical sounds.” According to
that definition the voice is certainlyan instrument. However, the same dictionary defines
voice as: ”Sound, or the whole
body of sounds, made or produced by the vocal systemof man or animals; shapedin or
emitted from the human larynx,. . .
concretely, the organs by which it is produced.” Re-read what I have italicized and you
will come acrossthat just one word is
used to portray the physical characteristicsof the instrument — ”concretely, the organs by
which it is generated” — and
the consequenceof the activation of the physical characteristics— ”sound.”

For our purposeswe must evadethis ambiguity. The distinctionbetween cause — rekindling
the vocal organs — and
effect — sound — must be definitely understoodin the student’s mind in order to
definitelyunderstand all that is to follow.
When the terms”voice” or ”vocal equipment” or ”vocal instrument” are applied in
this book they will meanthe materialparts of
the instrument. The result of the activation of the physical parts will be identifiedas
”tone,” ”sound,” ”vocal quality” or ”tone
quality.”

• The voice is the primarily instrument that must be developed by its owner.
I would like to give my intimatedefinition of the word singer: The instrument-maker and
player of the voice. In
my beliefthe definition must be broken down into these two independentelements —
instrument-maker and
player. We cannot presume that the physicalvocal instrument — the instrument that can
sing well — already exists.
If this were true, every personwould sound good naturally. Only the parts(the organs) out
of which the instrument
is fabricatedare naturally present. Everyonedoes not sound good naturallybecause not
everyone is using the
piecescorrectly. The first thing the student of the voice must be taughtis to structure the
vocal instrument. That is why
my definitionof singer begins with ”the instrument-maker.” Only after the instrument is
plannedcan you begin to
play it.

We are dealingwith an instrument — the voice — which exists quite separatefrom and
independentof the sounds
it can or cannot generate. The voice — the physical contrivance

- is the cause. The sound — the result of activatingthis physical contrivance — is the result.
• The voice is the onlyinstrument whose constitutionis mostly concealedin the human body.
All musical instruments exceptthe voice can be seen in toto. They are foreign bodies and

                                                                                                 converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
when in useare simply
plug-insof the player. Wind instruments becomeextensions of the player’s lips and fingers.
The piano becomes an
extension of the pianist’s hands, and one foot—for sustained pedalling. The only partsof the
voice that can be spotted
on the outside are the Adam’s apple protruding from the throat, the jaw, the teeth, and
partof the tongue.

Why is it important to mentionthis characteristicof the voice? Because an instrument that
is a foreign body
does not involvethe student’s ego during the growthprocess. The student of the piano, for
instance, can see,
directly, his exactlevel of development. The voice student, on the other hand, usually
dependsmainly on his
hearing to determinehis development—either he sounds better, and so feels better, or he
sounds worseand feels worse.
In the exercise segment of this book I have tried to take the voice, as much as possible,
”out” of the body and thus
allowthe student the prospectto ”see” the voice as if it too were a foreign body, for this
reasonavoiding ego
involvement.

• The voice is the singularly instrument that consists of within itself not one, but three
detached
mechanisms: the sound-supportingmechanism; the sound-producingmechanism;
and the word-producingmechanism.
• The voice is the only instrument that is constructedof muscle, cartilage and bone.
When the voice’s three separateand independentmechanisms are precisely structured,
exquisitely optimized
and simultaneouslyactivated, they can executebeautifulmusic. They are: the sound-
producingmechanism, the
sound-supportingmechanism and the word-buildingmechanism.

The Sound-Producing Mechanism

The movable partsof the sound-producing mechanism are the larynx, the vocal cords
(housed in the larynx),
severalmuscles in the neck, the back and root of the tongue, the uvula, the pillars of the
fauces, and the soft
palate. The motionlesselementsare the laryngeal pharynx, the oral pharynx, the nasal
pharynx, the nasal cavity, and
the sinuses.

When someone is singing it is ratheracceptableto say, ”That vocalist has a attractivevoice.” When a violinist is playing it would sound weirdto hear someone say, ”That violinist has a wonderful violin.” Voice is commonlyused to recognizeboth the sounds producedby the act of singing and the instrument producingthe sounds; violin identifiesonly the instrument. The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines instrument as: ”A contrivance for buildingmusical sounds.” According to that definition the voice is certainlyan instrument. However, the same dictionary defines voice as: ”Sound, or the whole body of sounds, made or produced by the vocal systemof man or animals; shapedin or emitted from the human larynx,. . . concretely, the organs by which it is produced.” Re-read what I have italicized and you will come acrossthat just one word is used to portray the physical characteristicsof the instrument — ”concretely, the organs by which it is generated” — and the consequenceof the activation of the physical characteristics— ”sound.” For our purposeswe must evadethis ambiguity. The distinctionbetween cause — rekindling the vocal organs — and effect — sound — must be definitely understoodin the student’s mind in order to definitelyunderstand all that is to follow. When the terms”voice” or ”vocal equipment” or ”vocal instrument” are applied in this book they will meanthe materialparts of the instrument. The result of the activation of the physical parts will be identifiedas ”tone,” ”sound,” ”vocal quality” or ”tone quality.” • The voice is the primarily instrument that must be developed by its owner. I would like to give my intimatedefinition of the word singer: The instrument-maker and player of the voice. In my beliefthe definition must be broken down into these two independentelements — instrument-maker and player. We cannot presume that the physicalvocal instrument — the instrument that can sing well — already exists. If this were true, every personwould sound good naturally. Only the parts(the organs) out of which the instrument is fabricatedare naturally present. Everyonedoes not sound good naturallybecause not everyone is using the piecescorrectly. The first thing the student of the voice must be taughtis to structure the vocal instrument. That is why my definitionof singer begins with ”the instrument-maker.” Only after the instrument is plannedcan you begin to play it. We are dealingwith an instrument — the voice — which exists quite separatefrom and independentof the sounds it can or cannot generate. The voice — the physical contrivance - is the cause. The sound — the result of activatingthis physical contrivance — is the result. • The voice is the onlyinstrument whose constitutionis mostly concealedin the human body. All musical instruments exceptthe voice can be seen in toto. They are foreign bodies and converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
  • 3. when in useare simply plug-insof the player. Wind instruments becomeextensions of the player’s lips and fingers. The piano becomes an extension of the pianist’s hands, and one foot—for sustained pedalling. The only partsof the voice that can be spotted on the outside are the Adam’s apple protruding from the throat, the jaw, the teeth, and partof the tongue. Why is it important to mentionthis characteristicof the voice? Because an instrument that is a foreign body does not involvethe student’s ego during the growthprocess. The student of the piano, for instance, can see, directly, his exactlevel of development. The voice student, on the other hand, usually dependsmainly on his hearing to determinehis development—either he sounds better, and so feels better, or he sounds worseand feels worse. In the exercise segment of this book I have tried to take the voice, as much as possible, ”out” of the body and thus allowthe student the prospectto ”see” the voice as if it too were a foreign body, for this reasonavoiding ego involvement. • The voice is the singularly instrument that consists of within itself not one, but three detached mechanisms: the sound-supportingmechanism; the sound-producingmechanism; and the word-producingmechanism. • The voice is the only instrument that is constructedof muscle, cartilage and bone. When the voice’s three separateand independentmechanisms are precisely structured, exquisitely optimized and simultaneouslyactivated, they can executebeautifulmusic. They are: the sound- producingmechanism, the sound-supportingmechanism and the word-buildingmechanism. The Sound-Producing Mechanism The movable partsof the sound-producing mechanism are the larynx, the vocal cords (housed in the larynx), severalmuscles in the neck, the back and root of the tongue, the uvula, the pillars of the fauces, and the soft palate. The motionlesselementsare the laryngeal pharynx, the oral pharynx, the nasal pharynx, the nasal cavity, and the sinuses.
