TWANG! TWANG! TWANG!

Sounds like a shrill old country guitar string vibrating doesn't it?

(I saw one vocal coach on YouTube saying it wasn't however, that is precisely how Twang got its name.)

The vocal coach who "coined" the phrase Twang is Jo (Josephine) Estill.

What I personally like to do when determining any vocal method or vocal concept, I like to find out the originator to see how well they reproduce their own concepts.

So it might be of value to hear Jo Estill's voice to start with.

While Jo is not using any Twang in this recording, it is helpful to decide if you want to sound like Jo.

So getting back to Twang.

What is it?

How do you get it?

Do you want it?

Twang is a tightened aryepiglottic sphincter (also referred to as AES), with high laryngeal position and tongue.

The misconceptions is that the voice produces one note.

It actually produces about 25-40 harmonic shades at once.

Some of the loudest resonance of the voice occur at 2500 Hz-3500 Hz.

Siren and twang

The primary function of the AES is to close the passageway to the windpipe when you swallow. Swallow, and feel the sensation of effort just above your larynx. You should feel the whole larynx move up and down, but you won’t be able to feel the AES from the outside. It should feel like a feeling of lightly ‘holding’ the sound above the larynx. A tilted or or neutral thyroid can change the “mass thickenss.”

The tightening of the aryepiglottis can increase “resistance.” So you don't want to slam air into this area or you will exacerbate this area and probably cause damage to the vocal folds.

We will discover the benefits of Twang, but also discuss it's limitations.
