From Flow Ball To Flow Phonation

Thursday 23rd June 2022, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)

Unlike instrumentalists, singers need to coordinate non-visible internal systems (i.e., breathing, vibratory, resonatory and articulatory) to produce sounds capable of conveying musicality.

To allow this, tools that facilitate visualisation are very useful.

A new real-time visual feedback tool for displaying airflow during phonation is presented: the flow ball (FB).
