032 Articulation 001: What is Articulation in Voice Training

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today we will start the next stage of our voice prep journey. We've already worked on physical release, breath, resonance, bringing the voice in, and now we will start with articulation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a first step, we will define what articulation is, how it can improve our voicing, and present every element involved in it to get familiar with the articulation terminology. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What You Will Learn In This Episode:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- What articulation is about, and its relationship with accents</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- What the articulators are, and the difference between passive and active articulators</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- The difference between voiced and unvoiced consonants</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- What plosive consonants are, and what a fricative is</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a misconception about articulation and accents. As long as the message is understood, there is no need for making any adjustments to our accent. For us, articulation is about getting our articulators released and toned to produce the sounds we need to make. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources: </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Voice & Accent Hub</span></p> <p><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/thevoiceandaccenthub"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.facebook.com/groups/thevoiceandaccenthub</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Articulation - Merriam Webster definition</span></p> <p><a href= "https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/articulation">https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/articulation</a></p>
