[Respiratory technique and resonance in the singing voice].

A singer can use a given anatomical structure of his/her nasal and pharyngobuccal pavilion to regulate the flow of his/her phonatory breath. The resultant study of vocal techniques makes it possible to put forth such concepts as a "column of air" and a "breath support point". The corporal sensations felt by vocalists were surveyed as well as the acoustic qualities of the vocal emission of each type. Implications are suggested for voice therapists.

[Voice breaking in young singers].

The adolescent's phonatory apparatus undergoes profound modifications during the period of voice breaking: lowering and growth of the larynx, change of vocal type. Voice-breaking occurs in two phases with the singing voice being modified essentially during the second phase, with a time lapse in relation to the speaking voice. Although stopping singing appears to be a reasonable attitude, it can not always be obtained, and therefore, the young singer can be helped through this period of change by developing a vocal technique adapted to this period.
