Episode 15 - Pop Vs Classical

Pop Vs Classical




1. Volume
Classical > Pop
classical
mic used, need to project the voice
Classical needs more breath support, physical energy and voice that carry, but not pushing on voice, just we need a good healthy projection
Pop
agility 敏捷
dexterity 靈巧
lightness 亮度

2. Larynx
larynx-volume and projection
classical
lower larynx
lower deeper sound to make a bigger sound
Pop
higher larynx
gradation of the position of larynx we can do

Song Demo "America The Beautiful"
More projection by lower the laryngeal position
lower sound => bigger sound, vice versa
Therefore, laryngeal position changes volume and projection

3. Being conversational
 Classical
not pedestal as much the conversation
the focus is to pronounce the words like a speech
richness
fullness
depth
Pop
more like the speaking voice, more authentic
more focus on the lyrics and the communication
The words we hear is more clear  

4. stylistic element
classical
legato-smoothness
vibrato
cadenzas
Pop
more choppy, staccato straight tone
riffs (go up or down between notes with the form of the chord)
breathiness (ha huh) and vocal fry
because not singing loud air volume, not bad for the vocal cord
