Note by note comparison of supported singing versus resonant singing from female Korean vocalists.

DESCRIPTION

SUPPORT: Using proper breathing techniques to ''support'' the voice, achieved by using the diaphragm to control the airflow against relaxed, connected vocal cords, favourably unobstructed by tension or at most hindered by tension to as little a degree as possible. This creates a healthy, open sound when done correctly. Support is desirable for anyone who wishes to sing as supported singing provides vocal longevity, greater creativity, etc. for the vocalist.

RESONANCE: The optimum sound a vocalist should focus on when singing. It is a full, clean and round sound that won’t sound thin, constricted or small in any way. A vocalist who’s resonant will use different types of placements, i.e. their voice will be placed either in their chest, head or mask (cheekbones area, not nose) to project their voice, in each individual register. A vocalist may be able to be resonant in their mixed voice by normally placing their voice in their mask with chest resonance, or as they go higher, with head resonance.

It is worth noting that although resonance is always going to be a projected sound, loud singing does not necessarily equate to a truly resonant one, because a loud sound may still be pushed and strained. You may project but still have tension, but in true resonance, tension should not be present in any form. Resonance is produced when the vocalist is able to support their voice. In other words, they have developed vocal cords that are able to connect fully in a healthy manner, without breathiness coming between them nor too much constriction, against the right amount of air pressure. Then the supported sound is enhanced with the proper placement of sound while keeping the soft palate lifted, the larynx position not high, the swallowing muscles, jaw, tongue and throat relaxed and the jaw dropped so as to amplify the sound of the voice. The combination of an open throat, support, relaxed singing and proper placement is what creates healthy resonance in singing.
