Discover the techniques opera singers use to project their voices over the orchestra and the importance of a singers squillo. --An orchestra fills an opera house with music, but a singers voice soars above the instruments. Its melody rings out across thousands of patrons all without any assistance from a microphone. How is it possible that a single voice can be heard so clearly? The answer lies in the physics of the human voice. Ming Luke explains the carefully honed technique of an expert opera singer.Lesson by Ming Luke, directed by Franz Palomares.Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-s-a-squillo-and-why-do-opera-singers-need-it-ming-lukeThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
