Q&A – Vocal Abuse in Modern Society
I have a research paper coming up, and my subject of choice is vocal abuse in modern society. In order to be able to write about this, I not only need to know examples of vocal abuse and what the consequences are, but also WHY certain activities cause fatigue or damage. I’ll explain in my…
Q&A – Freely Accessing Upper Register
There are some things about singing that I am not completely understanding. I studied voice for 4 years as a baritone. This past fall, I went to grad school and switched to tenor, as I knew that I was never really a baritone. What I am not exactly getting is how to freely access my…

Do Not Yawn!
This is the title of a section from the book “Vocal Wisdom” that was my main inspiration into vocal research. It is an organized collection of quotes from lessons with Giovanni Battista Lamperti. It is interesting that even in that time (1891-1893) there was the problem of people yawning to enlarge the voice. From the…
NOT How to Sing Opera – Part 2
My previous post stirred up quite a bit of activity. That’s great. Pretty much everybody who commented was of the opinion that the demonstration of how to sing opera was severely misguided. That is also a very good thing. But I want to go deeper into this topic of how we create the sounds we…
