How do Vocal Chords Work? Check this out

Hello there,

One of the most frequent situations I find in my daily vocal coaching sessions in south florida is explaining how the human sound is produced and how it becomes singing.
When you think on the process of listening to a melody and singing it back is pretty magic. First the sound waves produced by the generator of the melody excite your ear bones and tympanum, that movement generates electric impulses which go to your brain and the brain makes all the calculations and gives the order to YOUR WHOLE BODY to coordinate muscles, air and bones to reproduce that sound.
Most of the fine tuning occurs in the vocal chords; there is where all the efforts of you whole body convey for the moment of truth, was the melody reproduced with precision or not.
Here's a video which illustrates the rate of vibration of your vocal chords. As a Delray Beach Vocal Coach I find these kind of media very interesting, as it helps my students to visualize what happens inside their bodies when they are singing.

Miley Cyrus in The Voice - my opinion

Hello.
So I noticed Miley Cyrus is now a coach in The Voice, and couldn't help to blog about my opinion.

The voice started showcasing very talented coaches, who will deny that Christina Aguilera is a freak of nature, her pipes are impressive and her vocal style is very unique. Of course Adam, Cee-lo and Blake have their chops too. But then they started mixing things up, first to go was Cee-lo, Pharrel Williams, even though I don't think has the best Delray Beach Vocal Technique, can say he's a great producer. Shakira has Grammys coming out of her pockets to support her case and Gwen Stefany... well, that's when things started going south.
Alicia Keys is a great, awesome singer, her addition will be invaluable to the team of coaches, but Miley Cyrus? Miley Cyrus who sings from her throat, Miley Cyrus who became famous because of her last name, Miley Cyrus the best friend of autotune and over the top effects?
I don't think she has the voice, the chops, the experience or the respect to be a boca raton vocal coach, I really wonder who's idea was to put wrecking ball as a coach of the voice.
I imagine many people will disagree with me, and also I'm sure many others will be on my side. I guess we will all see what Miley brings to the show. For now, just keep watching.
