Oh and I forgot: I can play some instruments, but the voice is the cruelest one to learn. You can‘t „see“ what you are actually doing (wrong). And most of the time you can‘t even feel it very well. This why vocal training is full of analogies and imagery.
- stavros 8mo agoI wish it weren't. I would have gotten a lot more mileage out of "force a yawn, see what your mouth does, and do that" rather than "more space, more space, open up!".
- austinjp 8mo agoHave a look at Complete Vocal Technique. https://completevocalinstitute.com/complete-vocal-technique/ https://completevocalinstitute.com/complete-vocal-technique/ Their work includes pedagogical research to develop a consistent terminology which abandons lots of outdated and confusing terms such as you mention. No more ambiguous words like "project" or "space" or "support". Their research also includes using endosciopic cameras to directly observe the vocal tracts of professional singers. I've not actually trained with them, I just like their research and approach.
- stavros 8mo agoThat looks really useful, thanks!
- jesperordrup 8mo agoI'm danish. CVI is the source of my inspiration
- agos 8mo agoThe ambiguous word “support” is listed on the page you linked as the first of their principles
- austinjp 8mo agoVery true, a bad choice on my part! Still, I stick by the spirit of my comment.
