(08-05-2016, 01:37 AM)Have at ye Wrote: What style of singing are you learning? If it's bel canto/classical, I could give you some tips, as far as these work in written form (then again, bel canto is just the natural, healthy way of voice production, you can use it in any style). I'm graduating from my local university of music this September and I had the great privilege of working with one of the best vocal coaches in this part of Europe for four years, and she's given me many interesting tricks that help understand how it's supposed to be done.
For instance, try singing while on all fours, hands and knees, head held in line with your spine, facing down (an don't arch your spine, keep it straight). Once you feel *it*, try to get up to a standing position whilst still singing and retaining the sensation. You'll thank me later.
Yes, it's bel canto. I'm a baritone, and I'm getting stumped at E flat 4. When you're talking about going on all fours, are you talking about using it to break through the passagio, or simply for improving technique?
But I certainly welcome your advice. My teacher may try to get me in front of [redacted], a renowned bass-baritone. I'd love to have that happen, but there are no guarantees.
