| Re: [vocalist-temporary] Pronunciation?? David and Vocalisters:
Solveig, a common Norwegian name in Minnesota, is pronounced:
'su:lvaejs with the /ae/ vowel as in the American "rat". The /g/ is not pronounced. "Song" is /sa/ with the ng as in the American pronounciation of "song" (I can't print the IPA symbol for this via e-mail).
I have never seen your spelling of the name with the /j/ in it.
This is not a silly question. It bothers me every time I hear it pronounced incorrectly.
Hello everyone... I have a silly question. How do you pronounce "Solveijg's Sang"?? A student from my school is singing it for NATS, and we want to make sure she says the title correctly when she introduces it. Thanks for your expertise! David Grogan

Did you use a 1 putter or a 2?
No, seriously, very eloquently put, Dr. Hanson. There's no question that so
called classically trained and pop styles are radically different both from
a sound and technique perspective. The strange sounds that pop singers use
put them at extreme risk for vocal problems including mucosal lesions,
strain, hemorrhage, etc.
Laryngeal height is a topic unto itself. No one has direct control over the
height of his or her larynx, and unless you've got lateral neck x-rays,
don't tell me it's high or low. The only time the larynx moves
significantly is with swallowing, which is another mechanism entirely.
Certainly, we have the capacity to change laryngeal height, but it's more
lowering (relaxation) than raising.
