extended vocal techniques

Extended vocal techniques are innovative methods performers use to produce unusual sounds beyond typical singing. These techniques include vocal fry, shimmer, growls, and whistle tones, allowing artists to explore new textures, rhythms, and emotional expression. They often involve specialized breath control, vocal placement, or physical manipulation of the voice, broadening the expressive potential of the human voice. These techniques are commonly employed in experimental, contemporary, or avant-garde music to create unique soundscapes and push the boundaries of traditional vocal performance.
