NV Chapter 10
Additional skills and challenges in singing are addressed.
Vowel definition: defining them specifically so that the voice has utmost freedom. Also, getting the articulators to be or move independently of each other.
Vowel substitution: Finding replacements that work better in the rare instance that still sounds authentic, balanced and free.
Four French Nasal Vowels: Make sure they are not too nasal.
Consonants: minimize, but keep clean for maximum airflow.
Shadow Vowels: How to weed 'em out if they're in the way, use 'em if they help that legato line. Diction: Emotional truth is more important. If you don't have that, all the crisp diction in the world won't help your song.
Musicality: The flip side of the perfection of musicianship where the expressiveness comes in. Think and let.
Dynamics: How to sing softly: the same air applies, just not the same big amount of voice.
Agility and Fioratura: Anyone can sing those lines as long a the tension and entanglement are gone.
Staccato and wide intervals: Keep the air flowing
Dealing with stylistic differences in Music: Sing freely in your own voice. Trying to be what you're not will cause greater harm than good.
Singing non classical styles: learning to sing with the alignment and freedom necessary for Classical will greatly enhance our other styles.
The Broadway Belt:Yes even they can benefit form learning to keep it free and flowing.
It all boils down to keeping it free and flowing!
