We love changes in Texture! In the majority of pop music we hear three different types of textural changes that we use in rotation... the more we rotate these changes throughout a song the more "dense" the vocal stylization will be.

The first week on texture is devoted to SLACK or Vocal FRY.

This is the use of a vocal fold muscle which isn't engaged... it generally doesn't carry pitch, and it is how most of us speak in California!

It will Carry a sense of angst, or an organic tone.

Then there's Breathiness, and finally we will address the broken hearted sound of yodels and breaks that we use in pop singing.
