Here, out of the blue, is a lovely review of the warm up app by voice, accent and text coach  Keely Wolter in the September 2015 VASTA Newsletter.

Being in Voice
Price: US$3.99

This is VASTA member Flloyd Kennedy’s app, and it is a steal at twice the price.  The app provides a good deal of groundwork for beginners, and a handful of warm ups that range in length and intensity.  I actually use this one often myself, and sometimes do the less intensive exercises in the car during my morning commute.  Flloyd’s lovely voice leads you through each exercise and it is a great way to start your day!

Anatomy of the Larynx

    Voice   , ,

Something technical, just for a change. My colleagues at VASTA posted a link to this tutorial on Facebook, and it is just the most wonderful resource:  one episode in a collection of clear, detailed tutorials on the anatomy of the larynx.

I know some people find it challenging to deal with the “how it works” part of the voice. I’m not one of them, I just love to know how things work, how the different parts of the body interact and support each other – collaborate, indeed – to give us the actions we call our own.

So please, watch, listen and learn. Follow up with the next tutorial, and the next, but don’t get bogged down in the technical terms, just let them become familiar over time. Slow cooking.

And remember, these are not tutorials in how to do things with your voice, they are explanations of what happens when YOU do things – like speak, sing, hum, sigh, groan, cry, laugh and much much more – with your voice.
