In this episode, John talks with May Oskan about rough vocal effects and the techniques behind them. May also discusses the importance of creating vocal effects safely and the different parts of the vocal tract that can be used to create distortion. She explains that coordination and control are key in creating different vocal effects. 

Episode Highlights

  • Creating vocal effects safely involves controlling volume, avoiding extrinsic tension, and using specific structures in the vocal tract.
  • Learning vocal effects may be easier for singers who have already developed specific coordinations and have a playful attitude towards their voice.
  • Voice teachers interested in teaching vocal effects should listen to a variety of vocal effects, listen to their students' desired sounds, and explore vocal effects themselves to better understand and teach them.
