Here you will see the wave and the adjustable slider. For each vowel, the slider starts at a position based on data from research studies. For example, if you are targeting a brighter voice quality, the target will be placed at the lower edge of the range of variation from cis women producing that vowel.
\n
Keep in mind that everyone’s voice is different, and the target we suggest as a starting point may not be a perfect fit for you. You should feel free to adjust the slider location to a value that feels comfortable for you. You can shift the target to the right for brighter resonance or to the left for darker resonance. If you find a target frequency that you like, you can save it as a custom target for that vowel by clicking “Save as custom value.”
\n
To practice, draw out the vowel sound you selected (such as \"eh\") and watch how the wave responds. Try to identify the second peak in the wave, which is R2.\n
\n
Your goal is to shift R2 closer to the target slider.
\n
For tips on how to modify your R2, check out tutorial part 4, \"Strategies for resonance.\"

Remember that changing the pitch of your voice is not the same as changing your resonance - see tutorial part 6 (\"Pitch versus resonance\") for more on this concept.

Next Steps\n
\n
Once you get a sense of how you can adjust your resonance, you can start practicing at the word level.\n
\n
Even when you are producing words, you should still draw out the vowel so you can see if R2 is coming close to the slider.
\n
During other speech sounds, your R2 will not be close to the slider - that's OK.
\n
If you are having difficulty matching the target, you may want to go back to playing around with the vowel in isolation or in a single syllable.
\n
\n
\n
If you are feeling comfortable at the word level, you can click \"More complex\" to try a longer utterance.\n
\n
You can practice the same vowel in chains of 2 to 5 syllables.
\n
To begin, you will probably want to chant the chains and draw out the vowel in each word.
\n
Then try producing the same chain with a more natural intonation instead of a chant. You can still look for R2 to come close to the slider during the target vowel in each word.
\n
\n
\n
Then try another vowel, or try mixing it up with different vowels. Don't forget that the tutorial videos are there for models and strategies!
