For everyone keeping up with the EML Research Tools, major updates today for both EGG and Vibrato!

No idea what this is? We make free Praat plugins that enable practitioners to analyze voice signals and output both rich data tables and images.

On teaching:

…effective voice teaching involves using declarative language about and demonstrations of a procedural experience in order to generate a procedural experience that the singer may then ultimately describe with their own declarative language… www.embodiedmusiclab.com/hearing-sing...

I thought it was going to be all of the fascinating information about perception and psychoacoustics and all of the support and underpinning for those phenomena. But honestly it was writing the chapters explaining how I teach.

Bluesky...

AMA about anything.

Or about my soon to be released book about functional listening and voice perception… or about anything

It is a good thing I have done methodical scientific research in the past, because dialing in the right grind with new beans and a new grinder and a new espresso porta filter is no joke…

Whoa… Just clicked send on my final revisions for “hearing singing: a guide to functional listening and voice perception.“

I will do the marketing thing soon, but if you Google “hearing singing Howell“ a bunch of sites will pop up where you can pre-order.

So… I’m not not obsessively overhauling, modding, and dialing in espresso on a machine that I thought was broken…

It is all just pressure, flow, and resistance… that makes it voice science, right?
