Your Opinions on Resonance are WRONG & EVIL [Debate me at 8 PM ET]

Confused by resonance? Exactly.
Do you find other people to be wrong about resonance? Exactly.
Do you think resonance is actually really simple and don't get the confusion? Exactly.

Come fight me about resonance (and more) LIVE @ 8 PM ET tonight!!!! (I'm trolling obviously, but only partially)

I'm a Professional Voice Pedagogue and Researcher, and I'm doing a presentation on "resonance" as a teaching tool at The Voice Foundation Symposium (voice pros definitely say hey PLEASE). I wanna find more holes to poke in resonance approaches for that presentation, so I need YOUR bad resonance ideas (😜 i keed 😜) below and especially during my LIVE event @ 8 PM ET tonight to help further develop my presentation.

Let's get started with my resonance refutations:

  1. Resonance approaches are often ABLEIST because they require a very non-literal, non-anatomically accurate, unintuitive understanding of your body (how do you NOT sing from your throat?). This makes it inaccessible to a lot of autistic and other ND people.
  2. Resonance approaches are often SEXIST/TRANSPHOBIC because people be tryna say stuff like "Women don't have chest or falsetto" and "Men don't have head or whistle" when this is not corroborated by laryngeal vibratory mechanisms and several other models.
  3. Resonance approaches are often RACIST because sympathetic vibration sensation relies on very culturally specific referents (chest and head don't translate to non-Western languages) and even worse, things like facial/mask resonance relies on the sympathetic vibration of facial structures that are often very different across the lines of race.
