high collar, and there will be a poured classy lady! Seeing her, I was just
struck on the spot, but listened as she speaks, and everything vanished as if by hand. To my mind,
she spoke down to me as if I was much shorter than her. "
His opinion about this actress was absolutely correct, and he guessed everything from
it's different with him. But I was glad that the actress managed to reveal herself to him even before
of how something happened between them. The businessman understands it perfectly.

The sounds of a human voice when singing usually do not stretch evenly, but decompose into a number of separate parts, each of which is accompanied by a pulsating amplification. Following quickly one after another, they cause that phenomenon in sound, which is called vibration of the voice. Moderately available vibrations in the singing voice give it beauty, softening the sometimes existing shortcomings. Due to this and the positive role that vibration plays in full-fledged sound production, it can be considered a necessary and important condition for the singing sound. But for a number of singers, vibration is replaced by a negative phenomenon in the presentation of the singing sound, which is called "tremolation" of the voice. The same voices, where vibration is present either with a very large or small amplitude of vibration, are considered not worthy of performing attention.
While the physiologically legitimate vibration of the voice is, depending on the quality of the vibration, the phenomenon that greatly adorns the voice, tremolation of the voice is an extreme and extremely painful disadvantage for the singer. Tremolation is more often observed when singing in vocalists approaching the end of their singing work; but it is often possible to meet with this phenomenon among young people who are just embarking on the path of vocal activity. From an acoustic point of view, the tremolation of the voice is the same pulsatory thrusts of sound that follow one after the other, but these explosive thrusts are rough, without a smooth transition from one to the other.
Vibration and tremolation of the voice are phenomena of the same order, but with a completely opposite way of influence and perception by the ear of another person. As much as, as already mentioned, vibration adorns the quality of the singing voice, which in the absence of vibration is sluggish and boring, so any tremolation of the singing voice sharply degrades it. The more evenly the vibration of the voice is made, the better it reflects on its quality. The best for sounding is considered to be at least six vibrations per second. A vibration frequency of less than four per second makes the voice unpleasant.
Many guesses have been made about the true reasons for the tremolation of the voice. They said that the essence of tremolation consists in the oscillations of raising and lowering a sound with a simultaneous amplification and attenuation of it. Vibrations from tremolation are distinguished by smaller fluctuations in pitch and sound strength. It was believed that tremolation depends on the unevenness of the vocal cords.
It can be stated that voice tremolation is a rather widespread defect among vocalists, and if the voice tremolation is great, then it can be fatal for a given person, since it is pointless to practice singing under such conditions, which will cause a negative reaction in the listener. Whether the tremolation of the voice is a disease or just a defect in the vocal school, there is still no final decision. It must be said that in those rare cases when a doctor or teacher manages to achieve a decrease or disappearance of tremolation, the result for the most part is not long-term due to constant returns to this manner of sound production. The phenomenon called "sound interference" can be considered applicable to explain what vibration and tremolation of the voice is. The explanation and proof are the following data.
In order for the simultaneous sounding of two oscillating bodies to give a continuous flow of sound, it is necessary that these two bodies be absolutely precisely in unison. Thus, they must certain time give absolutely exactly the same number of oscillatory movements. With the slightest deviation from this requirement in one direction or another, interference must necessarily appear, and in end result- trembling.
Observation of the size and structure of the vocal cords, as over other paired organs of the human body, very often reveals their unequal size and location. Small deviations are more common than complete coincidences. This property was not avoided by the vocal cords, which are often different in both their length and thickness. All our senses are not quite the same on the right and left. A close examination can always reveal some difference in accuracy, power of perception and functioning of organs on both sides. This phenomenon is fully related to the functions of the vocal cords and the undoubted difference in the simultaneous work of both of them.
Both vocal cords are not always exactly the same. In most cases, we meet, although with little noticeable, but still with incomplete coincidence in the size and thickness of the vocal cords. The result is a lag of one of them and incomplete sound in unison.
The law of acoustics says that when two bodies sound together, the lag of one of them by one vibration per second gives one tremor per second, two vibrations - two tremors. This is why the joint sounding of two not completely symmetrical vocal cords should produce a jitter in sound. These hypotheses deserving full attention of Dr. Levidov were confirmed by stroboscopic observations. If, during their vibration, two bodies are subjected to a stroboscopic examination, which differ from each other by a very small number of vibrations, then when one of them appears to be completely motionless, the other will seem to move slowly. Further, if one body appears to be slowly swaying, the other may at this time appear to be in complete immobility.
The explanation of the tremolation of the voice turned out to be especially convincing when, with natural vibration, it was not possible to establish the uneven work of the vocal cords with stroboscopically. Certainly logical results were obtained when examining persons with tremulous voices. In these cases, a significant discrepancy between the vibrations of both vocal cords was clearly revealed.
This picture was even more pronounced in those singers where, in addition to tremolation, there were nodules on one or both vocal cords.
Dr. Levidov proved his assumption by the fact that while singing, he produced faradization of the larynx. Then, when singing sounds were made, the character of the tremolation of the voice changed and it began to resemble vibration. Then it became clear that with tremolation phenomena the ligaments do not vibrate in the same period. Tremolation can result from uneven tension on the vocal cords.
All these studies and observations on the true cause of voice tremolation give a fairly strong reason to believe that voice tremolation can be considered a real functional disease that requires special treatment. So the view that voice tremolation is one of the types of incorrect setting is not entirely justified.
It is known that there are cases when experienced singing teachers manage to achieve some satisfactory results in reducing or weakening this defect after long and careful voice training. It is very rare to achieve complete cessation of tremolation. Such phenomena occur only when the form of tremolation is very small and light. Then she can succumb to pedagogical influences.
Everyone knows that some disorders of the vocal apparatus can disappear after the methodological classes on the correct formulation of the voice begin.
It is also known that many disorders of the functions of the vocal apparatus are the result of a violation of the elementary attitudes required when practicing singing. This, on the one hand, and on the other, they can appear with inept teaching and the wrong approach to one or another inclinations and vocal material of a given student. If EJ in some cases, through diligent and correct vocal training, can reduce “or completely destroy the tremolation of the voice, then in no way can the character of the physiological vibration of the voice be changed. All attempts in this direction, as a rule, turn out to be negative, and even doing this is an unnecessary violence against the voice. They can do great, and sometimes irreparable harm to whomever these aimless experiments are carried out on.
The following fact seems interesting. Essentially, the vibration and tremolation of the voice are different manifestations of the same acoustic phenomenon. Why do they make a diametrically opposite impression to the ear? The pleasant effect of vibration on hearing is based on a positive perception of intermittent stimulation. On the contrary, continuous irritation tires the organ of hearing and thereby dulls its receptivity. When the frequency of tremors becomes very significant, the ear does not have time to follow each of them separately. The sound becomes unpleasant, acquiring a shrill and harsh roughness.
When comparing vibration and tremolation, it turned out that the latter occurs at a slower pace. It is possible that this property of vibration is the main reason for the unpleasant impact of such a tremulous voice on the listener.
As mentioned earlier, vibration differs from tremolation not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively. When tremolating, the transition from one pulsation to another occurs without the gradualness and softness that occurs with vibration. This transition is made abruptly, in jerks. The sound does not vibrate, but sways.
If we cast a superficial glance at the history of the development of solo singing in Europe, we will see that its origins originate in Italy.
Each epoch puts forward new requirements, raises questions of the method of teaching singing in a new way, - outstanding figures of vocal art different countries Europe, each in its own way to resolve these issues.
Without dwelling on the various stages of the development of solo singing, we will move on to practical issues related to vocal pedagogy.
Our body is a very complex mechanism, which is not fully in our power to control. One problem that comes up unexpectedly and is difficult to cope with is the appearance of tremors in the voice. Why does this phenomenon arise and how to deal with it?
Why is the voice trembling?
- diseases of the thyroid gland;
- organs of the speech apparatus;
- heredity.
However, the problem of voice jitter that occurs intermittently is psychological nature... To a person who finds himself in stressful situation, due to strong excitement, various actions or signs that are atypical for him in a calm state are characteristic. So, during excitement, some pull their hair, occupy their hands with any objects, feel trembling of the upper limbs or their sweating, and may also feel a tremor in their voice.
Why is the voice trembling most often during public speaking, concerts, answering exams, or other situations accompanied by fear or intense excitement? During such situations, a person needs to speak or sing, if it is an artist. That is, at this moment, the voice is the main instrument for performing the activity on which the success or defeat of a particular situation depends. Self-doubt or fear of public failure is the reason this phenomenon... Their roots are hidden in our subconscious, often these experiences are caused by previous negative experiences.
What to do if your voice trembles
According to experts in the field of linguistic psychology and speech therapy, a person who suffers from a periodic appearance of tremors in his voice needs to understand the situation in the past that gave rise to this phenomenon.
- Work is needed to improve your own confidence and self-esteem.
- Today there are various methods and trainings for self-improvement and overcoming psychological barriers.
- A big step toward solving a problem is being able to admit, "My voice is trembling." Once you recognize the problem, you will try to deal with it.
- Perhaps the activity you are doing is uncomfortable for you, you should reconsider your professional or social choices.
If you cannot solve this problem on your own, you need the help of a psychologist.
Probably, many have faced such a problem as a trembling voice. I wonder why this is happening? And sometimes it even becomes a stumbling block in communication, which gives rise to complexes. Let's figure this out.
What can the voice tell you?
From it, you can determine the character, recreate the image, draw up a physiological and psychological picture of a person. The voice broadcasts to others about the current state of the personality. By tone, you can read a person's emotions (anger, sadness, joy, jealousy, nervousness).
What gives out a tremor in your voice?
There can be many reasons for this. And the main ones are excitement and fear, which, as a rule, are unfounded. But first, you still need to see a neurologist. You may then have to drink antidepressants, visit a psychotherapist.
If during the examination (thyroid gland check, blood test), doctors did not reveal a physiological cause, most likely it is necessary to work with the psyche. If the tremor in your voice increases with excitement, we are talking about an anxiety disorder.
Why is this happening?
There is an explanation from a physiological point of view. It's about the adrenaline that's in stressful condition begins to be produced in huge doses. A person suffering from increased anxiety can get agitated by anything, for example:
- at school when called to the blackboard;
- from communicating with strangers, as well as powerful and high-ranking people;
- upcoming presentation with a report to the public;
- in a dialogue with a beloved person and so on.
Let's talk about the fear of communication
And now we will find out why the voice trembles when talking. It often happens that before the upcoming dialogue, the opponent begins to experience panic attacks. It seems that the spoken words will be ridiculous, cause laughter or censure. It's easier to just step back into the shadows and keep quiet, but this is not an option. If this phenomenon is extremely rare, then you should not worry, this can be attributed to Bad mood... When this is repeated systematically, and a working phone call generally becomes a disaster, you need to think.
To understand why the voice is trembling, it is necessary to find the root of the problem. Of course it works defense mechanism... You may have been severely insulted or humiliated in the past. And then, in your subconscious mind, a saying was formed, why communicate with people if it hurts. Therefore, it turns out that you are protecting yourself. And this happens unconsciously, and this is not good.
It is necessary to understand that without communication it is impossible to achieve high goals, even just to live normally. After all, a happy life requires a prestigious high-paying job, a family that needs to be created, and so on. Only after realizing this truth, you can move on, look for existing phobias and get rid of them.
Consider the reasons
- Critics. But this is not about healthy criticism. When it is tough and rude, not only shortcomings are indicated, but exaggeration and exposure to the public also occur, it is extremely difficult to endure such pressure.
- Bullying. Rather, it refers to school age when the child is humiliated. Then he closes himself in, closes himself off from everyone, fearing ridicule.
- Inability to build a dialogue with the opposite sex. For girls, this could be due to the upbringing of a strict and despotic father, for boys, on the contrary.
- Unsuccessful performances in the past. Never mark time. Everyone needs to analyze the situation, extract what is useful and move forward. This does not mean that the mistake will be repeated again.
- Shyness. Shyness gets in the way. But everything is good in moderation. Of course, but it's better to be more relaxed, you need to raise self-esteem.
- Inability to formulate thoughts. Everything is simple here: you need to improve yourself, read more, master techniques and practical advice, which will help you learn how to correctly build thoughts and speech.
Often psychological trauma stretch out of virginity, the main thing is to understand this, and try to fix the problem. If you can't do it yourself, contact a specialist.
- Make eye contact. Start small, communicate first with social networks, go shopping, for example, talk to sellers.
- If it is difficult to communicate with your opponent live, talk to him on the phone.
- And gradually move on to a lively dialogue. Try to make requests to strangers.
The fear of communication must be overcome, because otherwise it will not be possible to socialize and develop normally.
How to overcome the fear of communication?
- You should not model the upcoming outcome of the event, especially in a negative way. This will not solve the problem, it will only make it worse.
- Don't worry about the opinions of others. If they think something, it is not for long, for a few minutes. Think about how much you remember the faces of people passing by on the street or speaking in the pulpit, if they are not celebrities. Literally five minutes, no more. So your mistakes are forgotten just as quickly.
- Don't be afraid of dialogue. Make homework that will help in communication, later it will not come in handy.
- Look at your opponent, his gestures, facial expressions, perhaps he does not have a strong interest in you, so do not worry.
- Don't focus on your fear. If panic attacks begin to sneak up, abstract yourself into anything: the taste of coffee, a nice cup, an accessory on the interlocutor, and so on.
You will not get a quick result, but you should not give up, in the process of constant self-control and improvement, everything will work out.
How to quickly deal with the anxiety before public speaking?
- Deep diaphragmatic breathing will help. It relieves stress and anxiety. Take 20 breaths. But you must breathe with your belly.
- Yawn. 10 times with a closed and open mouth. Feel free to make accompanying sounds.
- Go for tactile sensations. A great technique to get rid of the anxiety during the performance. When it starts to come, take an ordinary paper clip in your hand, it is small, so it will be invisible. Feel, focus on the material from which it is made, what is the surface, the shape. Thus, attention is switched to another object, and the excitement recedes. Now, it doesn't matter what people think of you.
- Exercise before performing. Sing loudly and expressively or read the text of the lecture.
And of course, don't forget about good mood... When you radiate inner warmth and joy, smile, you will receive the same energy back. Imagine that they are sitting in front of you kind people who wish happiness and then the excitement and trembling in the voice will not appear.
Let's talk about the "grounding" technique
The main thing, remember, is not to tell yourself "calm down", this will not help, but will only increase the anxiety. When the panic attack has escalated and you are unable to control yourself, look for five things with your eyes that you can see, four for touching, three for hearing, two for smelling, and one for tasting. This technique will bring you back to reality, sober up and relieve you of the excitement and tremors in your voice.
And one more tip to get rid of a panic attack, remember two truths:
- Don't be afraid of her.
- And don't try to suppress.
That is, the release of adrenaline (fear hormone) occurs within 90 seconds. The rest of the time you are experiencing not a true phobia, but your "fear of fear." It is necessary to hold out for the first minute and a half, and then the panic attack will recede.
And the main thing is to understand that all fears are often invented by us. Improve yourself, learn self-control, and then you will not have to fight the excitement and trembling in your voice.
A tight voice is a problem that accompanies many vocalists. Generally, the higher the note, the more constricted the voice will sound, and the more difficult it becomes to continue chanting. A clamped voice most often sounds like a cry, and this cry results in the fact that "kicks" occur, the voice breaks down or, as they say, "gives a cock."
This problem is essential for the singer, so getting rid of it is not easy, but, as they say, nothing is impossible. So let's talk about how to remove a constricted voice?
Physiology
In vocals, as in sports, everything is based on physiology. We must physically feel that we are singing correctly. And to sing correctly means to sing freely.
The correct singing position is an open yawn. How to make such a position? Just yawn! You feel that a dome has formed in your mouth, the small tongue is raised, the tongue is relaxed - this is called a yawn. The higher the sound, the more you stretch the yawn, but keep the jaw in one position. In order for the sound when singing to be free and full, you need to sing in this position.
And also, do not forget to show everyone your teeth, sing with a smile, that is, make a "bracket", show a funny "smiley". Direct the sound through the upper palate, take it out - if the sound stays inside, it will never sound beautiful. Make sure that the larynx does not rise, and the ligaments are relaxed, do not press on the sound.
A striking example of the correct position is the performance of Polina Gagarina at Eurovision 2015, watch the video. While singing, Polina can see a small tongue - so she opened a yawn, that is why her voice resonates and sounds free, as if her capabilities have no limit.
Maintain the bracket and yawn position throughout the singing, both in the chants and in the songs. The sound will then become lighter and you will notice that it has become easier to sing. Of course, the problem will not go away after the first attempt, the new position needs to be consolidated and become a habit, the result will not keep you waiting for years.
Exercise
The chants to get rid of the tightness of the voice are also based on physiology. When doing the exercises, the main thing is to keep the position and the bracket.
- You can sing “Bdeya, bdeya, bde, bde”, “Briya-briya-briya-briya-brie”, “Miya-miya-miya-miya-mi”, “Luya-lyuya-lyuya-lyuya-lyu” by 5 key sounds, for example: from "G" to "C" in C major. Remember to keep the jaw in one position and keep the larynx and ligaments free without changing position.
- Sing E over the notes do-sol-fa-mi-re-do, staying in the same position on the high and low sounds, gradually raise the key.
- High notes are often picked up by shouting, so try singing them softly, gradually increasing the strength of the sound. If it started to work out, then freedom has come to the voice.
The famous vocal teacher Marina Polteva (she is a teacher in the shows "One-to-One" and "Just the same" on Channel One) works according to an excellent methodology based on feelings. You can attend her master class or find a lot of material on the Internet and take a lot of useful things for your vocal development.
Desire, faith and work
Thoughts are material - this is a long-discovered truth, so the key to success is belief in yourself and visualization of what you want. If it did not work out after a month, especially a week of exercise, do not despair. Work hard and you will definitely achieve what you want. Imagine that the sound goes by itself, without any clamps, visualize that it is easy for you to sing. After trying, even the most difficult songs with a huge sonic range will obey you, believe in yourself. Good luck to you!
