Voice Modulation through Imaginative Exercises

Abstract

The present article proposes an analytical cartography of voice exercises from the perspective of the material force through which they act at the psychosomatic level. The analyzed exercises are identified in the most known and used training methods developed throughout the 20th century. The analysis of exercises follows the effect of imagination in the development of qualities such as: flow, lightness, efficiency. The maximization of vocal qualities requires awareness of the interdependencies between body-voice- imaginary stimulus through training. The types of training and their applicability will produce results, being correlated with the specific disciplines of the actor’s art that integrate processes such as body awareness and the influence of the imaginal stimulus in the creative act. The various methods of learning and assimilating vocal expression techniques are recommended to be practiced in an individual system. The aim is to concretely and systematically follow the progress made by the practitioner under the assistance of the vocal coach.
