These lessons and videos are just wonderful. I have a burning question for you. I'm just itching to take classical voice lessons and am wondering if in opera/classical vocals those notes that sopranos/mezzo/etc are in head voice (falsetto?) or is that ACTUAL range? From the chest/stomache? Or is there something I'm missing. I just can't imagine being able to hit and F6 or such notes WITHOUT some head voice (falsetto) included. Seems unreal; guess that could be the beauty! Thank you!
@KiraAso yes. You have a single placement for the voice. It`s not chest or head. it`s one placement. [a forward placement] You support your notes with the diaphragmatic breathing. [stomach area but you can feel it in the back too]. When you reach this level it`s very physical and you get tired since the higher you go the more support you need. This is strict a classical technique based on "appogio". Some teachers teach placements technique... but that`s not the way great opera singers sing/sang.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for your comments. Yes the vocal exercises are a good idea. I have a variety involving timing, breath support, vowel jaw and lip positions, consonants and so on. Susan
Right On! She is off pitch and does not hit the notes squarely (attack messy). That will be fixed in time. However, she is a wonderful student and really trying. We fixed a bad glitch, voice breaking,a main concern for a while. Vocal exercises strengthen muscles to hold the high-end note, which she needs to swell and add vibrato as well. Vocal exercises that stress vowels, syllables and consonants will improve her pronunciation. Thanks for your comments.
Very very beautiful voice!
