Chapter 7 Summary
Oren Brown:
Summary: Agility is
compared to athletics in this chapter. Being able to sing fast and high is
something that takes a lot of work and practice. Oren Brown used a lot of
vocabulary like "nerve endings" or "firing" I thought that
we had strayed back into the talent code! He talked about how as we move very
quickly through fast moving passages, we need to work enough so that the nerves
fire effortlessly and smoothly. Singing fast with a lot of intervals requires
complete release in the throat and larynx.
Key Concept:
Everything should be free and released! That is the ONLY way we can achieve
singing fast passages. Every effort should be made to practice slowly so that
you can sing released at faster tempos.
Key Terms:
Coloratura
Making Connections:
I haven't been required to sing things that are really fast. But I feel like
when I do, I will know that the same skills are necessary to sing fast
passages. I still need to have a released and free sound.
