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.’
