Vocal folds Essays

In order to assess phonatory issues, the clinician should assess the quality of the voice and make note of any irregularities or behaviors that result in excessive force on the vocal folds. If there positive findings are noted, the child should undergo a diagnostic voice evaluation for further assessment and recommendations (Pena-Brooks & Hedge, 2007). Resonance disorders can be assessed during the oral peripheral examination by observing movement of the velopharyngeal mechanism during phonation

Enlarged Mouth Opening Often children with cleft palate will attempt to regulate nasal emissions by reducing the opening of the mouth and thus decreasing oral strength, pressure and volume. This contributes to deficient velopharyngeal closure. Enlarging the opening of the mouth intensifies these components of speech and may increase audible nasal emissions; however, it allows the child to discriminate proper air flow and eventually lends itself to remediation of hypernasal speech. Roth & Worthington

“Cinderella” is a fable based on a moral lesson, that if you are pure and good at all times then you will eventually get what you deserve. This is a lesson that many want to convey so there are many versions of “Cinderella” like one of the first stories : “Cinderella” by the Brothers Grimm, there is also a more modern version a poem “Cinderella” written by Anne Sexton. The Brothers Grimm version is a traditional story with a interesting tone, and a not so specific pattern in its literature. The poem

Oprah, Lionel Messi, JK Rowling, Celine Dion; Names of ordinary people who just got luckier than the rest of us. Names of ordinary people who we just happen to love, laugh with, and sing along to. We all love that rush we get when watching our favorite actor, football player, or band members on the big screen. The feeling never gets old. Most people believe that celebrities are overpaid. With all my respect to those people, I oppose their opinion. Many reasons such as the talent of these celebrities

ASAP’s Amazing Performance As the sun began to shine through the beautiful stained glass windows of the Immaculate Heart of Mary church, the Asap gospel choir arose and prepared to sing. The fairly new choir stood in their rich purple t shirts which read, “Always Singing and Praising” and simultaneously let out the first of many musical notes that would fill the church with a pleasant sound of praise. Amidst their singing one could hear the beautiful resonance of a Grand piano, the rhythmic strum

drowning due to the use of drugs. Whitney's death left a void in the music world because we've lost a legendary star. Even though Whitney Houston is dead, she has influenced many other artists, here's a few. Beyoncé was influenced by Whitney by her vocals and most of Beyonce's life was surrounded by Whitney because Beyoncé loved Whitney. Now we have Jennifer Hudson who was inspired by Whitney the most out of all the other artist out there. Jennifer was in loved with every song that Whitney had and

INFORMATIONAL ESSAY My favorite voice actor and singer is Blake Swift. Blake swift was an average guy who started to like voice actors as a kid. He had started to imitate cartoon characters from his favorite shows. A couple of years later Blake had started to train for a voice acting audition for a cartoon song intro for a show called Pokemon. That show was a big hit but not everyone had loved it. Since that show was a success, he got enough money to buy his own equipment to start his own music

Toward a philosophy of vocal expression, Cavarero understands voice as an “anti-metaphysical” force that communicates – before of any semantic content – the uniqueness of every speaker and, at the same time, immediately establishes relationships with the others. In other words

Introduction Putting my defenses up, cause I don’t wanna fall in love. If I ever did that, I think I’d have a heart attack. Huh, those lyrics sound so familiar, maybe we could figure it out from the information I have about a famous singer. But, have you ever wondered what kind of a life a famous singer had and has now? Now you’re probably thinking, who’s this mysterious singer you’re talking about? I’m talking about the now 25-year-old Demi Lovato. She had a very interesting life when she was younger

the family, sometimes even oppressed, has to take care of themselves but in the course of the story reaches high self-esteem which leads to a happy ending i.e. marrying a prince or finding a treasure. One of the Grimm’s most popular stories Cinderella, which I will later on analyze in more detail, is the perfect example for a story like that. Oppressed and enslaved by her stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella has to live a life without love and affection, which changes radically when magic helps

It seems as though jealousy and hypocrisy have been intertwined with parts of the church since it was established. Texas Tech University’s production of Carlisle Floyd’s opera Susannah captures a situation in which a church community makes envious assumptions of an innocent girl and ruin not only her identity but her sense of self. I attended the opera’s opening night on Friday, March 31, 2017, at the Allen Theatre in the Student Union where Chong Wang brilliantly played the part of Susannah. As

Who knew she would end up in Music Therapy! It is common for people to have difficulty making important decisions about their future. “What to major”, “should I go to college at all” and “what priorities do I have in my life” are some questions we tend to ask ourselves. Maybe the answer is found after an important event or life experience. For some other people, they end up doing something similar to what their parents did for a living. For example, the daughter of an opera conductor might want to

Whitney Houston was one of the greatest musicians in history. She once said, “I decided long ago to never walk in anyone’s shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed, at least I did as I believe.” (Uitti, Jacob. “The 25 Best Whitney Houston Quotes.” American Songwriter,) To me, this quote represents that blending in is not the most important thing, never giving up is what truly matters. To get to where she was, she made sure to stand out from the crowd and always try no matter the difficulty. Whitney was

Whitney Houston was found dead on February 11, 2012, in her guest room at the Beverly Hilton, in Beverly Hills, California.

1. D. Scarlatti (1685 – 1757) Sonata in G Minor K.426 Sonata in G Major K.427 The Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti, son of equally renowned composer Allesandro, wrote 555 sonatas for keyboard (mostly for harpsichord or fortepiano) during his lifetime. The letter K. before the number of the work stands for Ralph Kirkpatrick who produced a chronological edition of the sonatas in 1953. All of Scarlatti’s sonatas are single movement works, mostly in binary form, and these two sonatas

Jeanine is from the year 1613 in Germany. The yellow marking at her ‘third eye’ denotes her psychic abilities, which explains why the words, ‘Jeanine’s Dreams’ are representative of her life. During the German 30 year war Jeanine would travel from camp to camp delivering messages to the soldiers to aid in their battle strategy; or to share information about their families back home. In addition, there is an image of a horse emerging from the left side of Jeanine’s head with the word ‘Faith.’ J. Lee

The rendition of Habanera performed by Marilyn Horne as Carmen from Bizet’s opera is a very interesting piece. Marilyn’s vocal performance was very well done, and included many positive aspects such as, an excellent accompaniment of the orchestra, a vast dynamic range present throughout the song, and the emotion present throughout the entire song. Marilyn sang the piece solo with the accompaniment of an orchestra; which, through their synergy, Marilyn utilized the entire orchestra as an extension

The 24 yr old Michigan based artist carries a unique, soulful range of falsettos, somewhat similar to Cee Lo Green, yet completely his own brand of funk. To further make us fall in love, Wilson recently released the music video to coincide with the single. Visually capturing the quirky-funk sounds of the track, “Wedding Daze’s” simple, yet strategically shot

Journal Alvan Le I remember when I started voice class, I had no expectations. I knew we weren’t going to be singing, but I wasn’t aware of the work we would do. Surprisingly, the class changed my life. I have learned so much over the semester about vocal production, proper care and exercises for the voice. In fact, the way I treat and use my voice will never be the same. Originally, all I knew about the voice was that there was a vibration in my body that produced sounds. However, we learned that
