FAQ

VocalFeel has been developed primarily to facilitate the warming up, cooling down and vocal habilitation and rehabilitation, making the most of benefits gleamed from out two effective and all natural principles: vocal fold hydration and increased vocal tract impedance. It aims at assisting the vocal warming-up and cooling-down processes, but it also represents a great support for vocal habilitation and rehabilitation programs.

VocalFeel provides liberation from excessive tension of the laryngeal muscles through a “vocal massage”, provides proprioceptive feedbacks, enhances voice resonance thanks to the increased impedance and promotes a good vibratory quality of the vocal folds thanks to the inhalation of humidified air.

Semi occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTEs) are based on vocal training applying an increase of impedance to the vocal tract, this is done through a semi-occlusion near or at the lips.

Several studies have demonstrated the positive effects (concerning both voice habilitation and rehabilitation) that can be obtained through a vocal training based on SOVTEs. Above all, an improvement of the resonant quality of the voice, an enhancement of proprioceptive feedbacks and a fast and effective relaxation of laryngeal and peri-laryngeal muscles can be observed.

Three different types of SOVTEs have been developed so far: static, fluctuating and combined SOVTEs, with different effects on the voice. VocalFeel is the first device allowing the execution of each typology of SOVTE (static, fluctuating and combined) and simultaneously optimal vocal fold hydration.

Simply soak a gauze in water and insert it into the filter. When inhaling through the mask the air will pass through the wet gauze, thus humidifying and maintaining an optimal hydration of your vocal cords while phonating.

• VocalFeel makes the vocal warming-up and cooling-down processes faster, more effective and safer.

• It allows you to vocalise into the mask without having to think about using your hand to create the intermittent occlusions. The mask has been designed to open when you breathe and close when you vocalise.

• With VocalFeel you can train your voice in a customized way, performing various SOVTEs depending on your needs.

• With the bubble-mask technique, you can perform fluctuation exercises with the possibility of articulating words, vital for promoting a natural and free vocalization.

• The humidifier-filter system provides optimal vocal fold hydration while vocalizing

VocalFeel is a device aimed at assisting vocal training, didactics or rehabilitation and should not be considered the substitute of a Vocal Coach or a Voice Therapist: on the contrary,  they can assist you in using VocalFeel correctly.

If you use VocalFeel correctly you will reach great vocal results, otherwise VocalFeel might not produce the results you expected. If you’re not familiar with semi occluded vocal exercises, please ask to an expert in the field.
