TransVoiceTech: Ear Training for X-Y Resonance vs Pitch [demonstration of ALL vocal sexes]

Hello my lovely students and supporters! This video is intended to be an EAR TRAINING demonstration. There is a tremendous amount of voice modification on display here. Try to listen critically and hear the difference between resonance and pitch.

Hopefully finally clear up the idea that resonance and pitch are dependent on each other. I see the misconception that they are connected all over the internet. While untrained voices will accidentally connect them, this is due to a lack of control.

The reason its easier to produce higher pitches with brighter resonance is due to the nature of Constructive and Deconstructive interference. Essentially the acoustic feedback to the vocal folds during bright resonance makes it more efficient to produce higher notes. Vice versa for low pitches/larger tubes. When you go to make voice, you ignite a cascade of acoustic feedback. AC waves travel in both directions, so your vocal fold ‘feels’ the vocal tract length, and experiences greater resistance at certain pitches which are disharmonic to the fundamental frequency.

If you really want to master your voice, it's crucial that you learn to control these parameters somewhat independently. One of the easiest ways to begin separating the elements is by taking a pitch tracker. Try to maintain a single note while changing your sound. Voilà! You are now in the beginning stages of learning to manipulate resonance while keeping a single pitch.

warmly,
