Summary
"This DVD users in a relatively untouched research field of the marriage of broad artistic intents, ph[y]siological requirements of the vocal performer, and hall acoustics. The topics that are demonstrated, discussed, and given acoustic analysis, include adequate soft vocal performance, consequences of using too low of a pitch in action, singing off pitch, the importance and reason for pitch inflection in acting, the importance and enhancements of seeing the front and face of the performer, overcoming problems of the highly reverberant hall, and vowel modification with pitch change to preserve vocal quality. Other topics discussed include the definitions of audibility, intelligibility, and interpretation from the performers' point of view, pitch matching problems, insights into adequate nonverbal performance, "cheating out", trading intelligibility for vocal quality, resonance for different vocal styles, and safe shouting." -- back cover.
