MAKE YOUR VOICE STAND OUT WITH THE HARD ONSET!

Most people will sing freely without paying attention to what their voice sounds like. To create a polished and professional sound, it’s all about control in the details. The hard onset, also called the glottal onset or hard attack of a note can really make your voice stand out from the rest.

There is a gap between the two vocal cords (folds), which is called the glottis. The vocal cords open and close like a curtain. The ligaments and muscles move the vocal cords to opened and closed, creating tension and making the vocal cords hold together closely.

The hard attack of a note is when a singer causes the vocal cords to hit together, creating a specific sound. Rock singers use this technique (hard attack or glottal attack); it is used to belt out emphasis (make sure you use diaphragmatic support when doing this). A hard attack on the note creates a strong sound to start the note. It’s important to be selective as to where you use this technique. Pick the words you want to emphasize. You can really hear this technique when Audrey Diaz sings “Talking To The Moon” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPLrwoNNgsk on Youtube, check it out!

JOKE FOR THE DAY:

What do you call a guitar player that only knows two chords?
