Dr. MATT SCHOLONEGER ES048 The purpose of Matt's study was to examine the use of dosimetry-derived tessituragrams and Voice Range Profiles (VRPs) in selecting appropriate voice repertoire for singing students.  Matt’s project for the Van Lawrence fellowship, funded by a grant from NATS and the Voice Foundation, was a study in Voice Dosemetry - that is, measuring and studying individual’s voice range profiles - the actual pitch range and loudness range of a persons voice. Specifically, he focused on the voice load of songs - how much time on each pitch, how many vibratory cycles on each pitch - in different keys.    The singers were recorded singing the same song in 3 different keys. He got their own perception of difficulty, had an expert panel listen, and using the score, kind of like the map of the song, which he calls a score based tessituragram. With each singer he made a voice range profile with the dosemeter. (A dosemeter looks like earbuds on a hard collar, that sits around your neck and rests in the front. It measures skin vibration in the neck.)   He also looked at overall voice use through the day. He found that people think about how much they sing, but not how much they talk, or how loud the environment is.    ------------   To revisit the episode with voice scientist, Ingo Titze, you can look for episode 16 in your podcast player or visit the podcast page here. http://everysing.libsyn.com/016-every-sing-dr-ingo-titze-voice-scientist   Matt’s first episode on Every Sing was episode #2 http://everysing.libsyn.com/002-every-sing-dr-matthew-schloneger-on-voice-dosimetry   You can find Matt @ Friends University in Wichita, KS   matthew_schloneger@friends.edu   Others involved in Matt's project:  Eric J.

ES048 Quantifying Rep Tessituras w/ Dr. Matthew Schloneger

Dr Matthew Schloneger is the 2017 winner of the Van Lawrence Fellowship. He is a tenor and a professional singer. He got into voice science while doing his doctoral work in voice pedagogy at the University of Kansas. Through his doctoral work he got into an area of research called voice dosimetry. Voice Dosimetry has to do with vocal health and how we use our voices. Dr. Schloneger is a voice teacher at Friends University in Wichita Kansas.    Take Aways: Matt is really passionate about helping young singers develop in a strong, healthy way.    Voice dosimetry is the study of how we use our voices using real-time technological feedback in a natural setting.  The point of voice dosimetery (and we are still in the early stages of learning from this technology) is to learn about how we can best use and train our voices.     If you are an aspiring singer, be attentive to your overall voice use and remember that you have only one larynx. Vocal hygiene and voice care are essential to your success as a singer, and that includes both good speaking habits and how much you    use your voice overall. If you have an intensive singing week coming up, you may need to think about avoiding loud environments where you will speak a lot at loud volumes(yes, I mean raging parties). If you are preparing a major role or a recital, you need to practice regularly and methodically in order to build up your stamina. Treat your voice with respect, and it will treat you well!    contact: mattschloneger@gmail.com    Every Sing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: NancyBos.net
