Description

Voice training aid {VOCALIZATION TRANING ASSISTANT UNIT}

The present invention relates to a voice training assisting device, and more particularly, to a voice training assisting device that applies pressure to the tongue to make a tongue shape suitable for air circulation and allows the mouth structure to be confirmed by oneself.

Recently, interest in music is increasing, and it is a trend that the general public also trains their musical talents. Among them, it is most common to use music academies for singing training. In music academies, training is performed by vocal trainers and vocal trainers, but in general, many trainings are lessons that convey feelings, making it difficult for the general public to understand.

In addition, there are cases in which ordinary people practice based on digital sound sources, but digital sound sources make it more difficult to grasp the original voices of singers due to the editing technique involved in the delivery process. Also, it is difficult for ordinary people to accurately recognize their own voice. Because of this, it was common for the neck to be overused during the practice process.

On the other hand, human voice is generated as a low tone produced by the maxillary sinus, a mid-range tone produced by the frontal sinus, a high tone produced by the sphenoid sinus, and a super-high sound produced by the ethmoid sinus. The general public should understand the principle of voice generation and practice vocalization and singing by controlling the voluntary muscles in the mouth to perform optimal training.

Therefore, there is a need for a tool that allows you to create an oral structure optimized for voice generation and train while checking it.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above.

An object of the present invention is to allow trainees themselves to use a tongue depressor to shape a tongue optimized for air circulation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The detailed description of the present invention which follows refers to the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the present invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable one skilled in the art to practice the present invention. It should be understood that the various embodiments of the present invention are different from each other but are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, specific shapes, structures, and characteristics described herein may be implemented in one embodiment in another embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, it should be understood that the location or arrangement of individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the detailed description set forth below is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention, if properly described, is limited only by the appended claims, along with all equivalents as claimed by those claims. Like reference numbers in the drawings indicate the same or similar function throughout the various aspects.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the present invention.

1 is a diagram for explaining each part where a human voice is generated.

First, referring to FIG. 1 (a), a relatively heavy tone of bass is produced in the maxillary sinus 1, which is the largest of the paranasal sinuses 10. And, relatively mid-range is created in the frontal sinus (2) on the forehead. The voice produced by the frontal sinus (2) is sharp and clear.

Next, a high-pitched sound is produced in the sphenoid sinus (3) located near the temple, and a super-high sound is produced in the ethmoid sinus (4).

On the other hand, voice is created through the air, and the tube made of human muscles becomes the air flow passage. Humans control the soft palate so that air from the lungs flows through the vocal cords to the maxillary sinuses, frontal sinuses, sphenoid sinuses, and ethmoid sinuses. The method of sending air as above is to induce the passage of air flow to each part, and for this, voluntary muscles in the mouth must be controlled.

Referring to (b) of FIG. 1, there are voluntary muscles called uvula left and right muscles 5 and tongues 6 and 7 located on the left and right sides of the uvula in the mouth. Depending on the way each voluntary muscle is moved, various sounds that a person can make are produced.

In order to make a sound, air must be moved to the nasal cavity through the postnasal canal (8), not the mouth, and vibrate the sinuses (1, 2, 3, 4). Therefore, there should be no air that is once moved to the mouth, and when air is sent to each resonant cavity, the tongue (6, 7) and the left and right muscles of the neck (5) must be controlled by the person himself. The uvula left and right muscles (5) are muscles that open the posterior nasal passage (8), but if it cannot be opened and is closed as in vomiting, air cannot move to the posterior nasal passage (8) and thus cannot create a loud sound. Therefore, a person must check whether the left and right cervical muscles 5 and the tongue 5 are well controlled.

2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a vocal training aid tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the vocal training aid tool according to an embodiment includes a first body 110 formed in a bar shape, a second body 120 coupled to one end of the first body 110, It is configured to include a tongue depressor 130 extending from at least a part of the first body 110.

The second body 120 is coupled to one end of the first body 110 in an angle-adjustable form. In other words, the second body 120 is hinged with respect to the first body 110 in an angle-adjustable form. To this end, a hinge H may be formed at a connection portion between the first body 110 and the second body 120 . That is, through the hinge (H), the first body 110 and the second body 120 is mutually adjustable angle is possible.

A grip G may be formed at the other end of the first body 110 so that the user can conveniently hold the grip in the hand. The grip (G) may be formed of a material such as rubber or synthetic resin.

A mirror 121 and a lighting unit 122 may be formed in the second body 120 . Overall, the second body 120 may be formed in a circular or elliptical shape, but is not limited thereto. The lighting unit 122 may be formed in a shape surrounding the periphery (edge) of the mirror 121, but is not limited thereto. The lighting unit 122 may include a plurality of light emitting devices, for example, LED devices. A battery for supplying power to a plurality of light emitting elements may be built in at least a part of the first body 110 and the second body 120, and a charging terminal (C) for charging power to the battery is provided. 1 may be formed on at least a part of the body 110. After external power is supplied through the charging terminal C and the corresponding power is charged in the battery, the power charged in the battery may be supplied to the light emitting device.

The tongue depressor 130 may extend from at least a portion of the first body 110 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first body 110 . In addition, it is preferable that the tongue depressor 130 extends in the direction toward which the mirror 121 formed on the second body 120 faces.

The tongue depressor 130 may be formed in the form of a bar having a certain length and a certain width or a bar-shaped plate. As will be described later, the tongue depressor 130 is concave in a lower direction (direction toward the grip G of the first body 110) from both sides toward the center so that the trainee's tongue can be effectively pressed in a V-shape. can have a shape. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the tongue depressor 130 may be a V-shape or a fan-shaped shape having a certain curvature. In addition, as will be described later, in order to effectively press the trainee's back tongue 6, the degree of concaveness (degree of concaveness of the central part with respect to both sides) may be formed differently for each part of the tongue depressor 130. . Preferably, a greater concave degree may be formed from the portion connected to the first body 110 of the tongue depressor 130 toward the distal portion of the tongue depressor 130 .

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a method for a user to perform vocal training using a vocal training assisting tool according to an embodiment will be described.

During vocal training, the condition of the front part (7) and the back part (6) of the tongue should be checked in detail. It is important to keep the front tongue (7) as close to the lower teeth as possible so that the tongue does not curl up and block the oral cavity. In addition, when viewed from the front, the rear tongue (6) should make a V-shape with the central part lowered to the lower part so that the muddy sound is not produced. For reference, the turbid sound is a frictional sound made while passing through the narrow space between the roof of the mouth and the tongue when air from the lungs escapes out of the body.

The V-shaped shape of the back tongue (6) helps to circulate the exhaled air. In other words, it prevents a bottleneck phenomenon in which the reversed air and the air that has just passed through the vocal cords from the lungs collide with each other and rotate. The vocal cords are injured a lot due to the rotation created by the collision of the air on both sides near the vocal cords, and the V-shaped posture of the back tongue (6) prevents this phenomenon.

It is difficult for ordinary people to make a V-shape by lowering the back tongue (6) when making a high note.

Therefore, the trainee holds the grip (G) of the vocal training aid according to an embodiment of the present invention, and presses the back of the tongue, that is, the rear tongue (6) with the tongue depressor 130, so that when viewed from the front, V You can make a ruler shape, and you can hold a posture that helps air circulation. In addition, by adjusting the angle of the second body 120 relative to the first body 110, it is possible to check the current appearance of the mouth through the mirror 121. Since the lighting unit 122 illuminates the inside of the mouth brightly, the trainee can check the shape of the left and right uvula muscles 5 in detail, and accordingly, it is possible to check whether the posterior nasal passage 8 is dilated.

According to one embodiment, the trainer himself can use the tongue depressor to shape the tongue optimized for air circulation.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the trainee can check the current shape of the tongue and the condition of the left and right uvula muscles through the mirror, and since the space in the mouth is brightly illuminated by the lighting unit, detailed confirmation is possible.

Accordingly, the trainee can perform effective vocal training, thereby achieving an expansion of the range of sound, and many problems related to sound, such as sore throat experienced while making sounds, can be solved.

The above description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes, and those skilled in the art can understand that it can be easily modified into other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. will be.
