Epiglottis : A duck-bill shaped piece of cartilage housed within the larynx responsible for directing air to the trachea or food/beverage to the esophagus. Glottis : The space between your vocal folds. Vocal Folds : Also sometimes referred to as “Vocal Cords,” these are housed within the larynx and vibrate as air passes upward between them. They consist of five layers (epithelium, superficial/intermediate/deep lamina propria, and the thyroarytenoid “TA” muscle) and are roughly the size of your pinky nail. Adduction : As it refers to the voice, the coming together of the vocal folds (also known as vocal fold approximation). Abduction : As it refers to the voice, the separation of the vocal folds (opposite of adduction). Supraglottis : The area above the glottis. Subglottis : The area below the glottis. Trachea : A large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the windpipe. Esophagus : Connects the throat to the stomach. Phonation : The process through which sound is made via the vocal folds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a768769888d23b7a0ab6d2/ee06b43b-388c-4cdf-83ca-2664f0838f5d/tvf.png NEWS, UPDATES, ARTICLES - Vocal Health & Hygiene Considerations - Make it stand out Image Source: https://www.childrenshospital.org/sites/default/files/media_migration/29374aa3-bfbe-45d3-82d1-deeaf3dd4e42.pdf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a768769888d23b7a0ab6d2/d7f75408-3fb7-497f-9695-e0df7c558522/12.jpg NEWS, UPDATES, ARTICLES - Vocal Health & Hygiene Considerations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.theswainstudio.com/articles/the-art-of-the-audition monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a768769888d23b7a0ab6d2/f236f5cc-eb15-48eb-bf10-67c43b750e1e/Screenshot+2025-10-22+at+3.41.37%E2%80%AFPM.png NEWS, UPDATES, ARTICLES - The Art of the Audition - Authored by Brooklynn Stanley, BFA Musical Theater Assistant Instructor of Voice, Piano, & Acting Brooklynn Stanley is a local of Washington Court House, Ohio and a recent graduate of Ohio University where she earned her BFA in Musical Theater.
