Vocalization is essential to warm up the voice before singing.
Vocalization is the act and result of vocalizing . This verb (vocalize), meanwhile, has several uses according to the context.
Various meanings
Vocalizing can refer to solfeggio the notes without naming them and using only a vowel ; to perform singing exercises as training ; or to articulate letters and syllables precisely so that what is expressed can be easily understood.
musical exercise
The concept of vocalization usually appears in the field of music . The exercise that involves the execution of arpeggios or scales using a vowel (usually A or E ) without changing the timbre is known as vocalization. At the beginning of the training stage, singing students rely on vocalization to learn how to use their voice.
On the other hand, already in the professional stage, it can be said that vocalization is a preparation. The singers, before going on stage, are in charge of vocalizing to have their voice ready at concert time. The idea is that, after vocalization, the artist emits the sounds clearly and fluidly and in the appropriate tone.
One of the most important benefits of vocalization is the health of the speech system. The vocal cords should be treated like muscles; Singing should be treated as a sport, and therefore it is not recommended to do it without prior warm-up exercises . Using the voice incorrectly or excessively can produce nodules, among other complications, the severity of which varies but can be very high.
Depending on the repertoire that the singer is addressing at each moment of his career, the vocalization can also change. For example, if it is a work with many ornaments, you will probably warm up the voice with especially agile exercises, while for a dramatic work you focus on the darker regions.
Articulation and phonation
Beyond the musical, vocalization is associated with articulation and delivery to optimize phonation . A person has to vocalize correctly when speaking (or singing) so that the listener is able to understand the message .
Vocalization, in this framework, is essential for anyone who uses their voice as a work tool. There are two main reasons that support this statement: clarity when speaking and vocal health . The first point mainly affects the audience: an actor, a television presenter, a radio announcer or a singer, among other professionals, have to be able to communicate their messages in a way that the public understands them without problems.
The second is also of great importance, both for performance and job stability and for continuity. If a voice professional does not take care of their vocal cords , because they vocalize or breathe incorrectly, they can cause irreparable damage, which prevents them from continuing to use them for work.
Bird sounds
Vocalization, on the other hand, is the emission of sounds that birds make for communicative purposes . These animals can produce sound waves of different characteristics, from trills to advanced songs.
The sounds that birds make to communicate are also known as vocalization.
Ornithology differentiates between two large classes of vocalizations. The calls are simple sounds that usually serve as a warning, while the songs are more complex and are linked to courtship.
Even without technical knowledge that allows them to know what each type of vocalization means, many people enjoy listening to birds. Given the characteristics of urban areas, the presence of birds in them is very limited, so to appreciate a large number of different species and individuals and hear their voices without interference it is necessary to move away from the city to reach the countryside.
