Today\u2019s piece written by Aleksandra Denda,\u00a0 explores the intricacies of being a vocalist.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Body, mind, soul connection<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voice is such a unique instrument. It is the only instrument we are born with, but yet, as it can\u2019t be seen or felt, one has to find their own way of \u201cplaying it\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The voice moves the body and body moves the voice \u2013 they work together to bring the inner landscape into the outer world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the instrument is within us and not outside of us, we are intimately connected to the source of the sound on a physical, emotional and psychological level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993366;\">We sing better when we feel safe<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many vocalists might have noticed &#8211; we sing better when we feel safe, and the act of singing itself carries the potential to connect or regulate us back to a state of inner balance, both on a conscious and unconscious level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How? Much of it is thanks to polyvagal theory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trauma and the Nervous System: A Polyvagal Perspective\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZdIQRxwT1I0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 100 billion nerves stretch throughout our body. One of the largest and most important ones is called the Vagus Nerve \u2013 it\u2019s the most ancient part of our brain that controls all involuntary commands:\u00a0 from our heartbeat to blood pressure to taste, circulation, digestion, gut, and fertility. As we evolved from reptiles to mammals, it grew new branches which included hearing nuances within voices, swallowing, recognizing facial expressions and controlling the voice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Fight- flight -freeze and singing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we feel safe, our autonomous nervous system slows our heart rate, deepens\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our breathing, allows digestion to happen, nutrients to be absorbed, cells to repair and the immune system to flourish. Oxytocin and serotonin are released and we feel balanced, joyful and filled with vigor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we feel under threat, our sympathetic nervous system ignites and we react with either the fight, flight or freeze reaction, readying our primal instincts to fight that tiger or run from that fire. Adrenaline starts to flood our system as\u00a0our heart starts to race, our vision narrows and our digestion slows down (no time to chew when you have to \u201crun for your life\u201d).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Voice and trauma<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The interesting thing about our fight-flight-freeze system is that we don\u2019t only activate it when we are in real life-threatening danger, but in every situation we mentally and emotionally deem as dangerous, however benign it may seem on the outside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singing freely and authentically often means reclaiming self-empowerment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uncovering and naming beliefs, expectations, and trauma(s) that need to be worked through in order for one to restore the feeling of physical and psychological safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Singing is healing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today there is research-based data which confirms that singing does wonders for our mental and physical health because of its power to regulate our autonomous nervous system. Much of it is connected to the profound effects of long breaths and deep breathing (just as in meditation), and the vibrations that happen in the body while producing sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singing in groups even further enhances the body\u2019s feeling of safety and I often have experienced this singing with my vocal group <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosavocalgroup.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ROSA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where we perform traditional Balkan music which entails rich sound with a lot of frontal resonance as well as overtones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ROSA - Vrbice Vrbo Zeljena\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yzLy7sXwJzk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Rethinking Vocal Technique<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019ve seen, there can be big physical consequences of stress and fear on a voice (most often jaw and tongue tension&#8217;s blockage of the free movement of the larynx and vocal chords) since much of the vocal system is involuntary (connected to the autonomous nervous system) where physical commands often aren&#8217;t enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should make us rethink the way we approach vocal technique and transform it so that one puts more of an accent on the feeling of safety (physical, emotional) using visualization over voluntary muscle control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In functional vocal training it\u2019s believed that an individual authentic sound is only possible when the musculature of the vocalization is well trained and works together in a coordinated way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By truly moving ourselves when making music, we get to move others. By truly getting to know ourselves through the act of singing and studying our instrument, we get to tap into so many dimensions of our being, uncovering its beauty and its flaws, and in that process, we can inspire our listeners to taste that freedom and aspire for authenticity.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aleksandra Denda is an internationally recognized, Serbian- born vocalist, songwriter and educator who&#8217;s been featured on Grammy, Emmy and Latin Grammy albums and projects.
