Vocal Process Social Media

Well, that got interesting fast! 👀🎤

20,000+ views, some brilliant conversations, a few disagreements, and one rather questionable epiglottis.

Our blog We All Agree on Vocal Anatomy, Right? certainly struck a nerve!

And that anatomically suspicious illustration? It ...Read moreraises a rather important question:

Just because a diagram LOOKS authoritative, does that mean it’s accurate?

Spoiler alert: Absolutely not.

So, fancy playing anatomical detective? 🕵️

Take another look at the original blog and see if YOU can spot what’s wrong.

Bonus points if you can tell us what might happen to someone with anatomy like this! 😳

Classical singing isn’t neutral.

If you’re classically trained, the vocal shape that feels completely “normal” may actually be a very specific setup, one designed beautifully for classical singing, but not necessarily for contemporary styles.

The goal is NOT to abandon ...Read moreyour classical technique. It’s to recognise the choices you’re making, so you can make different ones when the style calls for it.

Sometimes expanding your voice isn’t about finding more notes. It’s about finding more options.

Our recent post sparked quite a conversation, with over 15,000 views and the...Read more more observant of you spotting a few anatomical impossibilities.

Someone even called it a “Little Shop of Horrors larynx!” 😂

But there’s an important learning point here.

When we’re navigating anatomical information, different perspectives, illustrations and levels of understanding can sometimes lead to confusion.
And that’s exactly what our accompanying blog explores.

As voice professionals, our goal isn’t simply to recognise anatomy. It’s to understand what we’re looking at, question what we’re seeing and communicate it clearly to our students.

A little humour, a healthy dose of curiosity and some valuable discussion?

We think that’s social media being used for good! 💙

BELTING IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A BIG SOUND…

Got the notes? ✔️
Got the volume? ✔️
Got the technique? ✔️

But something still feels… missing?

Sometimes the answer isn’t another technical adjustment.

It’s ENERGY!

Belting ...Read moreisn’t just about vowels, registers and resonance.

It’s about physical involvement, emotional commitment and bringing your whole self to the performance.

💡 Sometimes the breakthrough happens when you stop focusing solely on the sound and start exploring the behaviour behind it.

We all agree on vocal anatomy, right?
Well… not quite! 🤔

How many layers does a vocal fold have? Two? Three? Five? Maybe even seven?

Surprisingly, each answer can be supported, depending on what you’re describing!

For singing teachers, understanding vocal ...Read moreanatomy isn’t simply about memorising facts. It’s about knowing how to interpret research, recognise the limitations of scientific models, and apply that knowledge to real singers.

Because a useful teaching model isn’t necessarily the whole story.

In our latest Vocal Process blog, we explore why context matters, why scientific certainty deserves questioning, and how curiosity makes us more thoughtful teachers.

WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO BREATHE AT THE COMMA?

It’s one of the most common rules in singing. But what if breaking that rule actually makes your performance BETTER?

A breath isn’t just about getting enough air. It can be a powerful storytelling tool!

Think about how we ...Read morespeak in real life. We hesitate. We interrupt ourselves. We change our minds halfway through a sentence.

Why shouldn’t we do the same when we sing?

💡 Sometimes an unexpected breath can:
✨ Create dramatic tension.
✨ Reveal a character’s thoughts or emotions.
✨ Make your phrasing more expressive.
✨ Turn a technical necessity into an artistic choice.

The secret is knowing WHEN and WHY to break the rules.

In our latest blog, we explore how breathing choices can transform your performance and why musical phrasing doesn’t always have to follow punctuation.

🎤 SINGERS & SINGING TEACHERS: Here’s something to experiment with in your next practice session or lesson!
