Dec 2019 – I will start blogging about this soon. Articles will include:
- pitch extremes (high & low); extending range
- managing dynamics / volume: loud & soft; extremes (fortissimo & piannissimo); getting from one to the other; sudden loudness or softness
- vibrato
- long, sustained notes
- fast singing: rapid syllables; rapid pitch change (semiquaver runs, riffs)
- staccato, and varying degrees of separation between notes or words
- vocal stamina – long performances, extreme roles, long performance runs and tours
- belting – and how skilful resonance management combined with less effort is the secret
- growling, shouting and screaming (and how to recruit the ventricular ‘false’ folds)
