By the by, remembered one more notable thing from the last couple of days:
I remember reading somewhere in the Internetz (so we gotta take this with a grain of salt) that there used to be this "technique" employed in Feudal Japan times, taught to spies and infiltrators, which employed a particular vocal modulation whose aim was to induce sexual arousal and then sexual seduction of a subject. I remember that the website I read it on claimed that there are some singers who sometimes do it instinctively (the example given was Barry White, lol).
Point is, I remember right before the performance, I did my vocal warm-ups in an extremely low register (pretty much as low as I can go), with all that technical singing blah blah blah. Afterwards, I went to ask a fellow cast member where are some darn props we needed, and the make-up girl we had on standby immediately exclaimed "wow, your voice is very seductive". And, to be honest, I did notice there was some sort of frequency present while I was speaking which isn't normally present (a very low one, I think, or some weird mix of various frequencies which had that effect). The effect wore off after a time, but the make-up girl did keep flirting with me between my stage entrances, etc., until she had to leave.
I'm going to practice tomorrow, use the same warm-up routine (I usually do one very similar every time I set out to sing, but do not always go to the ultra-nether vocal register while doing it), and see what happens. Could be something, could be nothing.
