More info: This presentation will visualize the motions of the diaphragm and the conditions of the vocal tract during singing through MRI movie and a computer program that can show real-time vocal tract shape corresponding to speech or singing.
Audience will know how professional singers use their diaphragm and how the organs, such as the tongue, the larynx, the soft palate, etc., function during singing. Singers, voice teachers and students, and all people interested in singing should not miss this chance celebrating the World Voice Day 2015.
