The library works because it addresses Vocal Interdependence,
and you absolutely need to know what that is if you’re going to be an effective teacher.
Your voice is a production resulting from the interplay of respiration, phonation and resonance all of which are impacted by and inextricable from our skeletal, nervous and muscular systems.
Vocal Interdependence is just a fancy way of saying
your voice depends on every other system in the body to work well.
Your job as a voice teacher largely focuses on the vocal tract and resonance to produce sounds that are optimal. Your training tends to focus on registration, phonation and respiration – typically learning about them separately and having moments of overlap as we put it together.
AND there’s a lot to know about those things, but you’ve got that part.
You’ve cultivated your ears, now you’re ready to cultivate your eyes and your ability to see the body.
Couple that ability to see with actually knowing what’s happening and voilá, you have better knowledge in real life of how the body works and can solve real problems quickly.
That’s vocal interdependence in action.
