Finding Your voice in Song
News, Voice
Many people are intrigued by the art of song and the beauty of the singing voice. For some, singing can come naturally, but for others it may be their life's work to create the best singing voice possible. Either way, there are many mechanics and techniques that go into a well balanced singing voice.
When we learn that our natural speaking voice is in fact the same "voice" we use to match pitch for singing the mystery and challenge of singing can be simplified. The simple idea that we can transfer the speaking voice that we use to communicate every day to song will help a singer manage the obstacles of matching pitch, creating rich tone, and avoiding an overly breathy sound.
Let's break the singing voice down into three main areas. Chest Voice, Head Voice, and Mixed Voice. Although we access these three "voices" differently, and they have different qualities to them, our goal is to create a consistent sound throughout all of our vocal "registers" thus leaving us with "one voice" instead of three completely different sounding voices. This is a big goal for most vocalists, as navigating between these areas can produce very different tones, volumes, and characteristics if not trained with proper control. Here are our three "voices" and some details on the resonators within our body that produce these sounds.
Chest Voice
Most commonly recognized by the area where we use our natural speaking voice, the Chest Voice is accessed through the chest, acting as it's external resonator, and in the mouth as it's internal resonator. If you place one hand on your upper chest and say "HEY" you should feel a vibration in the chest. Chest Voice is where we produce our strongest sound which is usually the most easily accessed with lower pitches (think back to the speaking voice) and into a mid to higher register where we can produce big, belty sounds.
Head Voice
Head Voice is the opposite of Chest Voice because it is a much lighter sound and feeling. Think about taking all the weight away from a big chest voice and hitting pitches in your upper register, these are notes that feel higher and are not as easily achieved in a lower speaking voice area. Head Voice resonates externally in the back of the head and internally in the nasal cavity. To feel the Head Voice place one hand on the upper back of your head and say "WEEE" in a high pitch. You may feel that resonator vibrate slightly. Now say "What's Up Doc" in the style of Bugs Bunny. Hear that very nasally sound you just created? You are using your Pharyngeal Resonator, or nasal tone, which is accessed externally off of the nose and internally at the back of the Pharynx. Your Pharynx is located internally towards the back of the head within the vocal tract.
Mixed Voice
Mixed Voice is where we combine the resonators of the Chest Voice and Head Voice, while including the Pharyngeal Resonator to add in nasal qualities. Without this nasal component we won't be accessing the "Mix" of these two other resonators to their fullest extent. All three of these resonators are present in a well balanced Mixed Voice. We use Mixed Voice to achieve rich, full sounds that span between our Chest and Head Voices allowing us to achieve the most consistent sound spanning our low and high registers. Mixed Voice can be used in our upper register to achieve higher pitches without them sounding thin or weak.
Learning how to access these three areas of the voice and how to coordinate the proper mechanics can be achieved through vocal technique exercises, experimentation, and application in song.
Hearing Chest, Head, and Mixed Voice in Song
While listening to a singer navigate through their vocal registers you can now start identifying which "voice" they are singing in. Dissecting a vocal performance is a great way to learn the different qualities of these areas of the voice. First, recognizing the pitch is most helpful because it will give us a clue to what register of the voice they are in. Is the singer singing low or high notes? Do they sound strong or light? If the sound is lower and strong there's a good chance they are singing in chest voice, and if the sound is higher and light they are most likely in their head voice. Mixed Voice is sometimes challenging to identify because it usually sounds strong and has a large resonance. Many singers use their Mix to get powerful sounds in their higher register, thus, at times tricking the listener to think they could be in a powerful Chest Voice. The song "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele is a great example of hearing all three of these voices. She uses her Chest Voice in most of the song but flips into her Head and Mixed Voices in many areas to create dynamic interest and to also achieve higher pitches with ease. Stylistically, she is choosing which voice to sing in to create differences in feel and tone, which creates an interesting performance rather than one that can feel monotonous and dull. When a vocal stays in the same area through an entire piece and lacks stylistic freedom the result is sometimes flat and underwhelming. Using your ear to analyze a vocal is a wonderful tool as it allows one to compare another vocalist's abilities and begin utilizing the learned techniques in practice.
Finding your natural singing voice is fun, experimental, and exciting. Knowing how your own voice operates is the first step to becoming a better more well-rounded singer, and with dedicated practice you may start expanding your vocal range, techniques, and overall sound. As much as singing is technical it must also contain emotion and feel, because without those characteristics it may begin to sound lifeless or even robotic. Remembering that the tools, techniques, and mechanics of the voice are extremely important for vocal success should always be paired with the knowledge that music is an art and without personal expression and thoughtful emoting one will only be attaining, at best, fifty percent of their best possible sound.

Stef Emery
I teach Voice, Guitar, and Violin. I grew up playing the violin and the piano, and played in school orchestras through high school. I then began to play the guitar and really started focusing on my voice and songwriting. I went to college at Berklee College of Music for Violin Performance and there learned Jazz and Blues styles on Violin. I began to gravitate more towards Rock and Blues styles and became more and more interested in being a singer-songwriter. I teach all ages, and love focusing on Rock, Pop, and Blues styles. Many of my vocal students also play guitar, so we work on coordination between playing and singing at the same time and even songwriting. My teaching style for vocals has a strong focus on finding your voice in chest and mix voices, learning how to project and belt and achieve a full body sound. I love to instill a strong sense of technique, feel, and confidence in my students, and most importantly I want them to have fun! Music lessons are about learning, obtaining goals, and gaining confidence in yourself. I strive to make all of my students well rounded musicians, encourage creativity and live performance, and help to start their musical journey in the most positive and encouraging way possible. - Read More About Stef

Who says senior citizens can't drive? Well, there are statistics on this one, but we won't go there. The fact is, people change as they get older. Reflexes aren't what they once were, vision can start to fade, hearing loss can come without notice, and everyone younger than you thinks they know everything. As a wise man once said, don't get old if you can help it. If you've hit the age of retirement and haven't skipped a beat in any of these areas, kudos to you! However, if you're staring truth in the face, driving a car can be one of the areas that once seemed extremely easy, but now comes with some degree of difficulty. Fortunately, there are cars out there that can make life a little easier on you. We've researched Car and Driver, Consumer Reports, Edmunds, and Motor Trend to find them for you, and here they are…the best cars for senior citizens.
The BMW 5 Series seems as though it were actually designed with senior drivers in mind. Even the lower models, such as the 528i, are not short on power, but possess a comfortable suspension and active steering that makes handling much easier. A lowered windshield makes visibility easier for shorter drivers, and it sits lower than the BMW X5, making it much easier to get in and out of. The seating is extremely comfortable and there is enough legroom in all four seats to accommodate riders well over six-feet tall. If you opt for the 528i or 535i, you'll also get a very respectable fuel efficiency from the 3.0L six-cylinder engine at 22/32 mpg (city/highway).
If you're retired and looking to finally treat yourself to a bit of luxury at an affordable price, look no further than the Hyundai Genesis. Fuel efficiency (18/27 mpg from the 3.8L V6) doesn't quite match that of the BMW 5 Series, but in terms of luxury it comes as close as possible without having the blue-and-white propeller emblem on the hood. The soft ride and light steering are comparable with vehicles costing twice the price, and the sound insulation makes the Genesis remarkably quiet. It also received one of the highest crash test marks of any sedan, earning five stars in the government's new 2011 standards. The 5-year/60,000-mile warranty is the clincher.
If you'd like to carpool or take the grandkids for ice cream, but don't want the inconvenience of climbing into a minivan, the Flex is your best option. Its boxy style provides great visibility from all angles, but there is an available rearview parking camera to assist with backups whenever necessary. Fuel economy from the 3.5L V6 is in the range of 17/24 mpg with front-wheel drive and 16/22 mpg with the all-wheel option; this isn't too bad for the size vehicle the Flex is. When you're not playing bus driver for everyone, the rear seats can lower and increase cargo area to 83 cubic feet. The power-folding mechanism in the second-row seat makes getting to the third-row extremely easy. The second row also features optional captain's chairs to provide an added sense of comfort for all passengers.
If you're looking to stay in the economy sector and don't mind going a little small to do so, the Honda Fit is a perfect choice. Despite its tiny appearance, it actually possesses quite a roomy interior. Cargo capacity can increase to a whopping 57.3 cubic feet. This is comparable to many crossover SUVs. Its sharp steering and peppy 1.5L engine make it fun to drive but not overly engaging. It also features the best fuel efficiency of any car on this list at 27/33 mpg. The diversity of the rear "Magic Seat" really must be seen and tried out as there are few words that can describe its ambidextrousness.


OFFSHORE fishing got off to an exciting start as sharks provided most of the action, but there were also reports of some tuna taken south of Fire Island.
The inshore picture is still bright with lots of stripers being caught along with fluke, blues and a resurgence of weakfish in the New York Bight. If you're bottom fishing, the porgy season is now open and there are lots of scup to go around along with the sea bass.
Locally, there has been some nice fluke action in Jamaica Bay by the Canarsie Pier and outside along the Rockaway Reef. Sea bass catches have also been solid at the Reef along with a nice mix of porgies. Party boats from Sheepshead Bay that fish the bottom had a good week with porgies and sea bass. There was some weakfish action at the Breezy Point Jetty at dawn. Bluefish are in Jamaica Bay and along the Narrows.
For striped bass, the action is solid at Sandy Hook, in Raritan Bay and at the West Bank. Bass are also in the Narrows and in the back of Jamaica Bay by the airport.
Large bass are still coming over the rails in the western Sound by Execution Light, Hart's Island and Hempstead Harbor. Blues to 12 pounds are also being caught in most of the same areas as the stripers.
Boats fishing offshore did well at the Mud Hole and Chicken Canyon. Of course, there were plenty of blue sharks, but there were also a number of makos in the 200-pound class as well as some threshers caught. Small bluefins were spotted some 25 miles south of Fire Island. Almost all the sharks brought into Montauk over the weekend were blue sharks.
There are a number of shark tournaments taking place over the weekend: the 18th Annual Star Island Tournament at Montauk (631-668-5052); the 30th Annual Moriches Anglers' Shark Tournament from Moriches Inlet (631-878-3267); and the 32nd Annual Hudson Anglers' Shark Tournament from Freeport (516-378-5181).
Fluke fishing has been good both outside Jones Inlet and in the bays. Fluke to 7 pounds were taken this past week in 50-60 feet of water south and east of Debs Inlet. Stripers are being caught at bridges on clam bellies and there is plenty of keeper stuff along the beaches.
In Moriches Bay, you can find some decent winter flounder fishing at buoy 15 then switch to fluke near buoy 11. Fluke are in good numbers outside of Shinnecock Inlet while weakfish are still being caught in the canal. The stripers are at the East Cut by the Shinnecock Inlet.
If you are heading to the East End this weekend, there was some hot action on fluke along the North Fork. Just a three-wood from Shinnecock Hills and the U.S. Open, they were taking fluke at Roses Grove while the bluefish were holed up at Jessup's Neck.
Stripers and fluke can be had in Gardiner's Bay. The bass were taken near the Ruins on Gardiner's Island and there were also reports of stripers in close from Maidstone Beach to Sammy's Beach. Fluke to 7 pounds were caught near Gardiner's Island. Porgies and sea bass are being taken in Gardiner's Bay as well. Three Mile Harbor and Napeague Harbor have also offered keeper bass.
They have been live eeling stripers at Montauk Point, while bass to 45 pounds were taken in the surf last week. The fluke action is still worth the trip to the Southside and at the rips. Sea bass to 5 pounds were taken at some of the offshore pieces.


Joshua Swingle for Android Headlines: LG is certainly no stranger when it comes to robotics and smart appliances, but until now, such products have had limited use. With the company's latest announcement, this will change. The electronics giant has confirmed that it's currently investing a lot of resources into robots in the hope of capitalizing on advanced AI, which could eventually be implemented into products that combine hardware with artificial intelligence in order to work with smart home appliances as well as to develop machines that could perform everyday tasks. "We will prepare for the future by aggressively investing in smart home, robots and key components and strengthen the home appliances business's capabilities," said Jo Seung-jin, head of LG's appliances business.

I was going to write about going to the supermarket the other day and ONCE AGAIN discovering that I had forgotten to bring my wallet only after ringing up a hundred or so dollars of groceries, but that wasn't nearly as fresh in my mind as driving to church this morning and discovering nobody was there.
The Elf was wiped out from her competition the day before, and the Goblin had taken an eternal shower, so the Leprechaun and I left both of them behind and rushed off to church. It was a bit past ten, so we were late for Sunday School, and the Leprechaun was anxious to see her friends. We drove the few miles to church and turned the corner. The church was on our left and all seemed in order until we came upon the parking lot.
The Leprechaun had just noticed what I had; there wasn't a single car in the parking lot. For a moment I was confused, but I knew it was Sunday. Somehow I had missed a memo. It was likely Stake Conference at the stake center, which turned out to be true.
What stuck in my mind was how often I miss the memos of life. Even as an adult, my attention seems to be everywhere except where it needs to be when relevant information is conveyed. But I don't let it get me down. In this case I simply laughed at the silliness of being the only car at church and drove over to the stake center.
What I have a hard time laughing off is being alone after the Switch. I get my girls for two weeks; my ex-wife gets the girls for two weeks. Each switch disorientates me for a few days. It leaves me deep in the throws of Empty Nest Syndrome. Today is the Switch and I know that I will have a hard time tomorrow.
It is my goal to weather this storm better than all the other times over the past year. Unfortunately, as I sit here in church typing this entry my lovely Leprechaun clutches on my arm and snuggles into my shoulder. Being happy with tomorrow's separation will be a very difficult task.
I am determined to make this week different. I will start blogging articles instead of just journal entries, I will make progress in my ADHD book, and I will master my SEO freelance work. I realize I could be suffering from delusions of grandeur, but goals are reached by making them. I cannot succeed if I don't aim for success. Although I am surviving, I would like to be living at a higher level. Maybe then I won't miss out on so many of life's memos.

Microsoft has announced that there are now 100,000 apps available on the Windows Phone Marketplace. This confirms a report from earlier this month and was confirmed during the Windows Phone summit today.
The market hit the 50k app mark back in December of 2011, marking growth of 50k apps in just over six months, a rate which Microsoft says is 'faster than its competitors'. Microsoft also says that popular app maker Zynga is bringing its Words With Friends and Draw Something franchises to Windows Phone later this year.


It's time to stop skipping these germ-filled spots.
Follow these tips from Carolyn Forte, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute's resident cleaning expert, to make sure your home is truly clean.
1. Kitchen sponges. Soaking up bacteria is all in a day's work for your kitchen sponge, so unless you want to "clean" your dishes with a germy sponge, you need to disinfect or replace it regularly. To disinfect, soak the sponge in a mixture of 3/4 cup bleach and one gallon of water. You can also run it through the dishwasher or zap it in the microwave to kill germs, but if you use the microwave method, make sure the sponge is soaked with water or it could catch fire.
2. Between appliances. There may only be an inch (or less) between your refrigerator and the countertop, but that crevice can trap a lot of dirt. Use a long duster or thin vacuum attachment to clean out all the nooks and crannies.
3. Reusable grocery bags. Cloth grocery bags are great for the environment, but they're no different than other fabrics in terms of care. Run your reusable bags through the washer regularly to remove any lingering food bacteria, turning them inside out before you toss them in. Pay attention to the bag's fabric when selecting a dryer setting.
4. Refrigerator bins and door shelves. You probably wipe down your fridge's interior shelving already, but don't forget about the rest. Regularly pop out the door shelves and bins, and wash in warm, soapy water to get rid of food bacteria and spillage.
5. On top of things. Out of sight, out of mind? Not so much. We've warned you about wiping down the top of your refrigerator, but there are lots of other "tops" that need cleaning as well. Some common forgotten spots: the tops of light fixtures, cabinets, and the mouldings around doors and windows.
6. Ceiling fan. Speaking of being on top of things, just because you can't see the dust accumulating atop your ceiling fan blades doesn't mean it's not there. To keep the dirt from swirling around the air, Forte recommends using a duster like the Wool Shop's Lambswool Ceiling Fan Duster.
7. Small electronics. Did you know that your television remote is one of the dirtiest items in your home? Other small electronics such as your cell phone and headphones can also rack up tons of germs. Clean these items frequently with a disinfecting or alcohol wipe make sure to use a cell phone-friendly cleaner.
8. Broom. Yes, you need to clean your cleaners. Brooms are great for getting rid of pesky dust bunnies, but in the process they can get trapped in the bristles. Swish the broom head around in warm, soapy water, or vacuum with a handheld attachment (then be sure to clean out the attachment).
9. Hats, scarves, mittens. Like any other piece of clothing, outerwear picks up dead skin and bacteria. Regularly run your hats, scarves, and cotton mittens through the washer. For leather gloves, wipe down with a leather cleaning wipe.
10. Gym bag. You wouldn't consider not washing your clothes after a tough workout, so don't forget about the bag that transports them. If your tote is machine-washable, toss it in the laundry frequently. For a bag that doesn't fit in a machine or can't be washed, wipe it down inside and out with a damp cloth and sprinkle in some baking soda to help absorb odors.
What Does It Really Mean to "Eat Clean?"


A new Dunkin' Donuts shop – complete with a full-service drive-thru window – is set to open soon in National City, creating dozens of new jobs for locals.
Part of the popular chain of eateries headquartered in Massachusetts, this new Dunkin' Donuts store is located at East Plaza Boulevard and Interstate 805, and is highly visible from the freeway.
Boardwalk Development, Inc., signed a lease with Dunkin' Donuts to create the new restaurant. The site is currently under construction.
Ron Bamberger, president of Boardwalk Development, Inc., told NBC 7 on Wednesday that they hope to open the location by mid-September.
He said the store plans to host a grand opening celebration when it officially opens for business this fall.
Bamberger said the shop's proximity to the freeway is a substantial benefit and will be convenient for morning commuters who want to pop in and out of the location quickly as they grab a doughnut on their way to work.
Bamberger said the business is on the morning side of the freeway -- the side of the street where the bulk of morning rush hour traffic occurs.
"The expectations are that it will be a very busy location," said Bamberger.
According to Sonya Modi, public relations specialist from Havas Formula, the company representing the project, this store will be the second Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru in San Diego County.
The first Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru is in Ramona, though that location is a Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins combo store, so this National City shop will be the first freestanding local Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru in San Diego County.
Modi said the National City location is expected to create about 100 new jobs for local residents. Hiring information will be released soon and job-seekers who are interested in working there will be able to find job listings on the website, SnagaJob.
Bamberger said positions will include front and back-of-the-house, as well as management. He said banners with hiring information are currently posted around the development site.
Two years ago, Dunkin Donuts announced it planned to open its first traditional restaurants in California over the coming years. This plan included 14 restaurants San Diego County, with the first opening in 2016.
Modi told NBC 7 that after the National City location opens, there are two other San Diego County Dunkin' Donuts slated to open this year: one in El Cajon and the other at Naval Air Station North Island.
Dunkin' Donuts was founded in 1950 by Bill Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts. Today, the company has a cult following as the world's leading baked goods and coffee chain, serving more than 3 million customers daily and selling 52 varieties of doughnuts.
