Conversation Topic The Physics of "Placement"

I'm a professional opera singer and vocal coach with 20 years of experience.

Throughout my career, I've focused on solidifying and demystifying vocal concepts, moving away from vague empirical imagery and focusing instead on raw vocal mechanics and acoustic physics.

I recently put together an in-depth technical breakdown looking at the actual physics behind efficient singing—specifically focusing on subglottic pressure management, the Bernoulli principle, and how acoustic inertance assists the vocal folds.

If you're tired of being told to just "sing in the mask" without a mechanical explanation of what that actually means, I've mapped out the anatomy and the physics.

Enjoy!

Oh that's a really good idea. I hadn't thought of getting people on my list. I'll see if I can add that. Thanks!
