Singing From Scratch

Tension and Emotional Expression

Listen Later

In this weeks episode, I dive into the professional end of singing, and go over the use of the 6 Element of Singing – Dynamics, and how to invoke emotional expression using Vibrato and Volume to create tension. Here are the topics covered:

  • What causes tension in music.
  • How instruments create tension.
  • The difference between chordal tension and vocal tension.
  • The importance on the use of volume increases, decreases, and silence to create tension.
  • How intermittent vibrato creates tension with a short vocal EXERCISE.
  • Detailed Breakdown example of the use of Dynamics to convey emotional expression.

    • The 6th Element of Singing is the element that takes singing from…well…just singing, and turns it into art. To access detailed exercises on how to master Dynamics, take a look my online course on the subject.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    As always, Happy Singing!
