Twang on "nya"

A bright, slightly nasal "nya" narrows the space just above the vocal folds. That narrowing (twang) makes the voice louder and brighter with no extra effort.

How to do it

  1. Bratty, cartoon-like "nya" on each note.
  2. Bright first, then try the same notes on a dark "nah".
  3. Hear how much louder the bright one is, for the same work.

Remember Bright and bratty.
