Biography

This research project seeks to understand and emphasize the connection between voice physiology and performance, more directly for the singing voice and the muscular unfolding. The insertion of voice physiology in studies related to the singing voice has brought immeasurable benefits for the preparation of repertoire in classical and belting singing; however, there are still gaps that need to be studied in order to bring these two fields even closer together. The Singing Voice Programming - A Neuropsychodynamic Perspective of the Voice is based on the study of muscle control through specific training that allows for the toning and gain of muscular endurance, collaborate with the gain of harmonics and the amplification of vocal extension. This research project also proposes to study neurophysiological actions, since muscle memory divided between kinesthetic (muscular movement) and pallesthetic (sensations) memory allows managing muscle activity and in short, programming the sound that will be emitted by the vocal tract through muscular adjustments between vocal source and vocal filter.
