Its been several weeks since I started listening to the Brett Manning Singing Success CDs. I've gone through about four CDs, still appreciating them very much. Its a great way for me to learn. I don't have a teacher available. I don't have a lot of free time. I get anxious doing just one thing. I have the CDs in the kitchen so I actually look forward to doing dishes and cooking because I know I can listen and sing along.
Tonight I went back and listened to the first CD again. I decided I wanted to go through them one time again, taking notes, before I go on to the other technique and style CDs. I wrote down a few things. These are my notes.
-Speech level singing
-importance of "the God given unique facial structure" gives us our own resonance or unique sound
-different coordinations make different sounds...i.e. chest, middle, head
-middle voice has "deeper vocal chord compression" and an "edgier sound"
-inner and outer larynx muscles..use inner to sing with less effort
-deliniation...gradual blend
-when larynx is too tight we are using the swallowing
muscles..want to find a middle ground
-don't lift soft pallet too high...don't want to distort natural bell shape
-if voice lacks power..don't shout...don't force the voice "let it blossom"
