My own material

Here’s a dropbox link to other material I’ve created myself, including my categorization sheet of rough vocal effects, my compilation of the Extended International Phonetic Alphabet and Voice Quality Symbols, sound examples as well as spectrogram images and endoscopy footage.

Literature

Public Library

Here’s an ever-growing collection of all publicly available research papers and articles about the voice I’ve found, sorted by authors as well as topics. Some of the papers can only be opened via your browser as the file path is too long for some typical PDF viewing software.

Vocalism Playlist

Here’s a collection of YouTube videos I found helpful, interesting or impressive. While my teaching might not always conform to 100% of the contents, I still recommend browsing through the playlist if you’re a vocal nerd too.
