Episode 375 - The Chiaroscuro Whisper with Ken Bozeman


Listen Later

In this episode, John Henny interviews Kenneth Bozeman about the concept of the chiaroscuro whisper. Ken explains that the chiaroscuro whisper is a technique used to identify the resonances of the vocal tract by introducing a white noise into the vocal tract. This technique allows singers to tune their vocal tract and hear the pitches of each resonance peak. Ken also discusses the difference between vocal fry and the white noise of the whisper, as well as the importance of tuning resonances for efficient and pleasurable singing. He emphasizes the need to focus on expression and feelings rather than language when singing.

Episode highlights:

  • The chiaroscuro whisper helps identify the resonances of the vocal tract.
  • Tuning resonances is important for efficient and pleasurable singing.
  • The white noise of the whisper is different from vocal fry, and the chiaroscuro whisper may be closer to a regular singing sound than vocal fry.
  • When using the chiaroscuro whisper, it is important to focus on expression and feelings rather than language.
  • The sensation of pleasure is a good indicator of vocal efficiency.
