    Dan Callaway, voice teacher Boston Conservatory at Berklee, says in one of his vids that "correct singing is offensively easy" - that's so true. We always hear stuff like "Operatic singing is very demanding physical activity", "Opera singers work as hard as blacksmiths" etc. So, of course, from the beginning of our lessons we prepare ourselves that hitting high notes is gonna feel like squatting with 200 kg in a gym. And when someone offers us ways to decrease tension, we answer "Hey, no pain - no gain! We don't need to reduce tension - we just should get used to it thru the years of hard training" - so stupid.
    And people don't even bother to watch, for example, video of Angelo Loforese singing "Nessun Dorma" at the age of 93, and ask themselves a question:"If singing were equal to a hard manual labor, would a decrepit old man have been able to sing?".

    I can definitely admit, I am one of those people who tenses toward the top. This is definitely helpful! Sometimes its about getting out of your own way.

    Amazing! I've used this exact example with my choir during warm-ups to help them find a balanced sound, so happy someone else discovered this as well!

    Interesting and very clear video ! Speaking as someone who grew up singing more Pop music, I actually suffer from having more of SpongeBob than Patrick, so I’d say it’s on every singer to identify their own personal problems rather than focusing on a particular extreme first :) However I’ve had my fair share of issues working on the oscuro of the voice, so indeed a good balance is always the best.

    I live, sing and work in Italy, and our chorus master always insists on a round, dark sound. Although when it gets too dark, the pitch wavers and more Sponge Bob is required. There has to be a balance, as you say.

    This is truly complete with clear physical demonstration of concepts. Technique can certainly vary but these are certainly what I believe to be correct. A question on finding chiaroscuro balance: I try to maintain position of the larynx where it normally sits at rest or lower. But attempting more brilliance, even with the highest palate and snarl, the larynx moves a little higher than rest position. Is this OK, or I need to move back to ingolato?
    Also, with the tongue, some classic singers arch and touch lower teeth rather than laying flat. As long as it is neutral and not tense.

    Thank you for these insights. You pinpointed exactly the problem with bringing a concept too far with the yawn: pulling down and retracting the tongue... Really liked the concept of the snore that reminds me of David Jone's fricative breath. And you are so right! We should aim for an animalistic way of expressing ourselves to let go of necessary tensions or frights.

    In your view, what's the suitable ratio for "SpongeBob" and "Patrick"? 60%+40%, or maybe 70%+30%? Thanks in advance.

    It's the tension for me. It really hinders me from hitting the high notes. Also, sustaining a high note is very hard.

    I am sure Fisichella must be an admirer of Antonio Paoli. This tenor recorded the first ever Opera in full, I Paglicci, under the direction of Leoncavallo himself and performed Otello hundreds and hundreds of times. Paoli sang like what you're describing, in the middle of chiaro and scuro, often going shamelessly and confidently chiaro in the middle range. He may have learned his techniques and methods from García (Manuel García, the inventor of the laryngoscope) and his family in Spain and France. The problem is that today his kind of singing could be considered not too elegant. I don't agree with that but I may be in a minority there. Very interesting!

      @Tenor_Simerilla  4 месяца назад

      I enjoy very much vickers. Although at times for me he struggled with a bit of excess weight and effort in the sound especially at the top which cause him to be somewhat inconsistent. However he had an exciting sound and he was a fantastic artist. Big voice, big presence.

    Veramente creativo e moderno nella spiegazione, questa spiegazione però non la consiglierei a dei principianti perché rischia di confondere, per quanto dei concetti molto difficili vengano spiegati in maniera molto semplice e comunicativa per qualcuno alle prime armi rischia di essere forviante, ma lo consiglio veramente a chi ha già una base, Bravo!
