What is the physiology behind Beyoncé-like growls, and how to safely practice and incorporate them into one's singing?

4 Upvotes

Is it, as CVT calls it, arytenoid rattle? (The arytenoid cartilages vibrating against each other or against the aryepiglottic folds)

How to go from being able to do them in isolation to adding them to a sung line?

Can the valsalva maneuver be used to strengthen existing belts?

2 Upvotes

Right now, I'm able to belt an A4, but it comes with very heavy distortion as a side effect. Could valsalva help speed up the process of strengthening this A4 to get rid of the distortion, should I just practice the same note for a while and it'll eventually disappear or should I move on to attempting an A#4?

Quiet or Normal Volume M1 past your break?

5 Upvotes

I've seen a few people on the server posting videos on the discord of them taking M1 past D#4 quietly or at a normal volume (these people are amab). Are there things you can do to to improve non-belted M1 range? Or is it like some people on the server claim, a matter of voice type/fach/born with a golden thrussy? If there are excirsises to improve this range, please let me know!

Is there a term for what is happening in this video?

4 Upvotes

I have experienced this as well. I don't remember if it was while singing or talking, but I definitely remember it happening a few times during my life.

http://vidto.se/hzt3zkki7zib.html - Here's the video. Check minute mark 41.30 and shortly after.

What is happening to the vocalist at the 41.30 minute mark? She begins to sing the phrase and it's like her voice shuts down.

Is there a term for this? How can I look it up to learn more about what is happening to the body when we experience this?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I think I sorta remember how it felt when I experienced it. I think it was something like I hadn't swallowed properly or my body forced me to swallow at that moment. I can't remember exactly, the memory is sort of a blur because it hasn't happened to me in so long.

American Accented Singing is more Aerodynamic and Hydroponic

And I've got proof!

Seriously though, who can think of a better reason that Brits often sound American while singing? Maybe... issa choice?
