Pavarotti about covered sound

[ka2shi7]

it's easy to sing like this,after 20 years of course. hahahahaha

[krajncrocky1]

for tenor is better cover at note AS

[SamuEpcom]

Tradução... Please!!!!



[lalalaa1232]

1:00 i love that phrase jaja

[Agorante]

I wouldn't take investiment advice from him but he definitely has something to offer regarding singing.

[manthasagittarius1]

You can practically and theoretically prove that the uncovered sound is from God, so it can't be possible to cover? I would be very interested in reading such a proof. Thank you for offering.

[xpr1mnt]

pavarotti is e genius

[BaratoneKing1]

Knowledge is king

[BrianWelchVEVO]

This just made my day.........

[Isreal94]

so much gold brewing here.

[cccorsetti]

PAVAROTTI IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING

[highnote32]

Okay, I was told by a choirmate that Pavarotti started off as a Baritone.....Is that true?

[VocalEdgeTV]

@highnote32 Yup. True.  Not all that uncommon! His lower range was extraordinary.

[brizzoke]

@highnote32 I don't think so. I haven't found any info about that. Placido Domingo, however, switched from baritone to tenor and back again.

[sallpario]

pavarotti s voice-IS strangle

[tappoandpippa]

please - post more worthwhile vocal technique instruction. there is so much junk on youtube.

[vpo2g2]

Ulitmately you either have a voice or you don't. Schipa sang "white" and he lasted until his seventies.

[PonselleLover]

Franco Tenelli gives the right definition of what covering is a few comments back : it's nothing more than, via using a more narrow vowel (oh instead of ah), ensuring the permanence of a low larynx position while rising in pitch, to counteract the natural tendency of the suprahyoids to rise the larynx along with pitch and shorten/constrict it in the upper register. This low larynx position is what allows tenors to produce full voice high notes from the passaggio on to the extreme top.

[bodiloto]

Lauri - Volpi cantava 10 fa diesis in modo differente...

Pavarotti canta uno...

[nordictenor]

@bodiloto scusa, ma ti stai sbagliando. Ascolti bene Lauri Volpi per esempio "la mia lietizia" e vedrai che tutte le fadiesis e sol sono coperte, perfettamente coperte sempre, senti poul Potts, Bocelli e altri, ecco gli souni aperti di oggi.

[bodiloto]

@nordictenor chiudere la voce amico lo impariamo quando abbiamo 13 anni...

Dove ho detto che si deve cantare "aperto"?!?!?

Ripeto: La tecnica di Lauri Volpi era perfetta,per questa ragione si permetteva per ogni personaggio di cambiare il colore,la bellezza e "il modo" di cantare uno "fa diesis" per esempio.

Il mio commento era:Lauri Volpi arrivava di cantare 10 fa diesis in modo differente...Pavarotti canta fa diesis soltanto in un modo /in questo video/.Potts,Boccelli,chi sono?Ciao amico!

[cantatore11]

es gibt kein covered klang,das ist quatsch mit sousse

[cantatore11]

@cantatore11 Covered sounds is a nonsens

[nordictenor]

@cantatore11 Of course !! you are so right ! It's all nonsens!! What does Pavarotti know about singing ? Or the hundreds of other great singers through the last couple of centuries, who have talked and (in various ways) about covering certain notes.They were all wrong !! Pavarotti couldn't sing anyway, could he ?? COULD HE ?

[cantatore11]

@nordictenor und ich wiederhole,covered sounds is a nonsens,weil die Stimme ist nicht vom Mensch gemacht,das ist Gottes Werk!!! Darum kann ein Mensch nur probieren etwas zu erkleren....nichts mehr!!! darum exsistiert so viel nonsens in the world!!! viele Grusse.

[manthasagittarius1]

@cantatore11 You can maintain your opinion that there is no covered sound -- or IS that actually what you are saying, when you designate it "nonsense"? I don't agree, as it happens -- but I think your reasoning has jumped the track completely when you say why.

[cleanmyroomforme]

@nordictenor covering is ABSOLUTELY necessary, especially for tenors and sopranos in their high range!! It does NOT mean to sound older, mask or give a fake quality. It means letting the sound reach through the back and top of your head (nasal cavity). This way, you allow for longevity of voice, for you control the amount of air passing through vocal chords. May not sound as visceral or raw, esp. with some, but it's classical training. However, it should not be used below the tessitura.

[appeace1]

@cleanmyroomforme I believe it has alot to do w/the actual sound he is making. When he begins the scale he is singing ah, ah , ah , but when he hits the F# he changes the sound to uha. He adds the uh sound which moves the sound to the back and then to the head, thereby , allowing the vocal cords to be in the "position of rest" he mentions.

[doeraybaby]

at all the great masters, they use slightly different techniques.

[doeraybaby]

I wish we could have gotten the full vid of the class :( the comment about he needed to sing a B or an A... I don't understand because you can also alternate between the uncovered and covered sound in lower registers. but also to another comment that someone would be unable to become a great singer, don't forget that Pavarotti was renowned for his Bel Canto technique. There are different styles of singing for different classical eras and still be utilizing proper technique. if you look

[Stingerfyle]

It sounds great and I love it, but I have one objection: The problem with covering the sound is, that it is a kind of mechanical way of getting into the higher register. This can lead to problems with the connection between lower and higher register. It is better to start with a covered or complete free sound. From my point of view, Pavarotti is not covering the sound! He just sings with a complete open throat. You don't here him covering the sound. The voice gets freely into the higher reg.

[saintsaens21]

@Stingerfyle Agreed. This vid is of poor value really, Pav should have sung an A or B (but maybe he wants to keep his technique secret so he ensures he remains immortal :)

[MrLEONSA1]

hola, pido el favor a alguien para que por favor traduzca lo que dice el maestro Pavarotti en este video para todos aquellos que no hablamos ingles, muchas gracias!!!!

[sleepyhead1933]

@MrLEONSA1

No sé si entendí todo, pero es más o menos lo siguiente: Cuando uno produce un sonido cubierto, las cuerdas vocales descansan. De esta manera pueden vibrar totalmente. Pero también dice que así las cuerdas vocales solo se mueven por el medio, y no en los extremos, y que el sonido cubierto es más noble, y permite cantar las notas más altas. Da un ejemplo en fa# sin cubrir, y después dice "Parece que me están estrangulando, no"? Luego canta cubriendo para que se vea la gran diferencia.

[MrLEONSA1]

@sleepyhead1933 oye te agradezco muchisimo!!!!!

[MrLEONSA1]

@sleepyhead1933

oye mil gracias

[JesusaloneisLord]

Thanks for sharing this video =)

[restlesspride666]

It makes...sense. Amazing.

[ajb1776]

All great singers should teach at least one seminar a year. To be great is one thing; to inspire through teaching, lecturing, etc., it is how new singers come to be.  One generation learns from the previous. It is the way of music. With great talent comes tremendous responsibility to share your talent and impart the wisdom of it as well to a new world eager to learn.

[ZeppelinRochey]

Oh my god wow

[minnie888444]

I wonder of all people in the audience really understood how educational this is. Probably not. Thanks for posting.

[saintsaens21]

@minnie888444 because it really isn't, get a book of vocal technique and you'll learn waaay more

[tenorschofield]

Gosh he was really smart!!!, how talented and inteligent he was!!!, of course 30 years of training gives you a good form...but if you are not ussing the rigth technique, you can be 100 years trainig and you will have little results. Thanks for sharing this unvaluable materila with us!!!!BRAVOOOO!!!!!

[cantatore11]

es gibt kein covered klang!!!! das ist alles ausgedacht! es gibt nur kein richtige verhältnis zwischen resonatoren.fragen mus man bei Allmächtige,Der die Stimme geschafft hat,nicht bei leuten!

[ezayi]

@cantatore11 What a lot of CRAP you´re saying!!!!. Like germans were the king of technique... YEAH RIGHT!. You germans must learn exactly what Pavarotti sais; Not to strangle the voice which is what we hear a lot from german singers!

[cantatore11]

@ezayi i m not saying a lot of grap...io canto senza covered sound and ich finde dass ist ein fehler sound to covered ich verde ein beispiel senden tutto bene

[ezayi]

@cantatore11 Then, my friend, you will never learn how to sing. What he says about covering could be interpreted as turning the voice which is NECESSARY to go the upper register. If you don´t do that, I can imagine how you sing. Not good!

[cantatore11]

@ezayi Hör mal zu mein freund! ist die stimme von mensch gemacht? ein mensch kann nur über sachen sagen,die er gemacht hat,aber wass von Gott ist,da kann ein mensch nur annehmen,voraussetzen,nur Konstructor kennt die stimme,und nicht der mehsch! darum kenne ich Tamagnio,Caruso,Loretti,Callas­,die singen schön ohne covered sound!...fare thee well and if for ever still for ever fare thee well,farewell.

[ezayi]

@cantatore11 So, you said all!!!... if you don´t hear when their sounds turn or cover, then you need to start from scratch and learn again. Good bye!

[1nspirator]

his voice sounds so consistently it's always the same and always perfect

[JMichaelFowlkes]

He has so much personality! I love it! "Suspect a strangle uh?" <3

[mariologo]

parole sante!

[MisterPapageno]

This video should be cut and let only when great Pavs sings :P

[qw3rtydud3]

Urgh... I wish he would stop rambling about vocal cords, they're just breath govenors. The "covering" is just using a more forward placement in the head cavities rather than keeping it too low... you can hear the ring. It's not caused by "just the middle of the vocal cords vibrating". They're half an inch long, it is physically/scientifically impossible for the vocal cords to create a sound like that. All they do is control the airflow.

[RonaldBarone]

@qw3rtydud3 I do agree with you, but lets think together... who became famous... you or him? lol

just saying lol

[qw3rtydud3]

@RonaldBarone I'm 17, how old was he here? And lets not forget that Pavarotti lost his voice for several years of his life due to poor technique and orientation around the throat.

[RonaldBarone]

@qw3rtydud3 oh yeah... you will be more famous than him... great.

Let me know when you start singing, cause I want to buy a ticket to see you

[qw3rtydud3]

@RonaldBarone When did I ever say that? I'm just expressing opinion backed up by scientific research...I'm not looking to argue, just debate.

[Rheiss3]

@qw3rtydud3 LOL pavarotti never lost his voice dude come on you really need to read up a bit sorry, i thought at first you were simply ignorant, now you are just being foolish. pavarotti had machine like perfect technique and he was a master of the covered sound. your facts are completely false and a bit silly honestly.

[qw3rtydud3]

@Rheiss3 He did. During his early years of musical study he developed a nodule, resulting in a concert in Ferrara being a disaster. I do read, if I didn't I wouldn't be saying all this. Of course he's a master, he found his signature sound naturally after that. I'm not ignorant at all, I love him as a singer, he's fantastic, I just don't agree with everything he says.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Rheiss3 - Pavarotti never lost his voice but he had his "off nights".

[bigus]

@qw3rtydud3 actually thats not true, the vocal chords make 100% sound. the better you phonate the more ring/sqillo etc you have. the trick is getting them to phonate all the way up hence the cover. i understand what you are saying, but pavarotti had his voice scoped and saw for himself what his voice was doing when he made the different sounds. your nasal cavaties do not create sound at all they simply give the sound waves a better place to travel. amplification etc.

[qw3rtydud3]

@bigus Where do you get this theory from? The vocal folds are half an inch of wet membranous tissue...

[Rheiss3]

@qw3rtydud3 whats your point? thats all you need to make sound. sound is produced when that those half inch vocal folds vibrate. all sounds originate in the vocal folds its why they call it the voice box. if you didnt know this already, you should learn about it in your first semester of vocal pedagogy if you study. unless you are just making stuff up because you dont know.....

[qw3rtydud3]

@Rheiss3 I have read a lot of literature but it doesn't involve what you say. I suggest you read "think afresh about the voice" by Arthur D. Hewlett , as it is free, the other books have to be bought. It makes perfect sense to me... I'm not trying to be ignorant

[bigus]

its not letting me post a link, but ill try to message you with it. basically what takes years to develope is proper phonation, in which you can actually feel what is taking place if you pay close attention. the low notes are produced in the front of the larynx where the vibrations happen at the front part of the chords, the middle voice (passagio) vibrations happen in the middle, and the high notes the vibrations are more in the back. you cannot cover or even feel when you dont phonate right.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@qw3rtydud3 - not quite. Yes the vocal cords are small (about the length of your thumb nails) but Pavarotti is correct is saying the vocal cords are in a state of rest. When the cords adduct, the parts of the glottis not vibrating are closed tight and resting. I wouldn't say its smack in the middle as the opening moves as you go higher in pitch (shortens) but what isn't vibrating is resting.

Covering is a process of darkening the tonality of head voice through placement.

[qw3rtydud3]

@RocktheStageNYC That makes much more sense.. my mistake. Thank you

[krajncrocky1]

this is difficult,because all notes(fis,ais,cis,fis) musst have same sound.

and beginers are very tired when they sing that.but when you can do this soo.

are you dude.:d

[bigus]

you can only really hear this covered sound in the open vowels but you still feel them in the closed ones like "EE" "eh" (ay) etc.

[Chimier]

I love how he differentiates a loud sound from a resonant one.

[shootforthemoon89]

@Chimier

I know, he was truly a remarkable man... my dad met him a few times

[Stingerfyle]

like an animal!

[Isreal94]

ahahahah "jumping to the other sound...like an animal"

[Webarton]

So wrong.

[italopera]

He is absolutely and completely right !

It is the traditional italian way of singing

Nothing else to add !

[mrm4xim4m]

what a guy love pavarotti :)

[zelda0521]

awesome sound.

[soniceize]

Nice teacher.

Thank you.

[kigomin]

That's a real tenor teacher. Thanx Pav!

[Mickeysings]

Interesting to hear him talk of the position of rest as a place for jumping off. When you listen carefully to P sing the Nessun Dorma, you can hear at the end that sense of almost like a trampoline as he sails thru the note...it feels so effortless. Which is why we like to hear it!

Thanks for posting this.

[Willzito]

I keep watching this over and over... AMAZING PAVAROTTI

[krmmr]

@Willzito I would have loved to go to his master classes. Oh, I can just see myself sit in there.

[rap2383]

nice this is what i hear from brett manning too, that the vocal chords are zipping up and down in relative to pitches

[raigekimaru]

0:57 makes my spine tingle

[tissetatten]

WOW!!

[ravi48819]

01:14

"The vocal cords are vibrating just in the middle -- not at the end."

Don't understand what Pavarotti means by that.

[moorfan1]

in the middle of their lengths....not a full length vibration.

[aminul1984]

What he means is you are using your middle voice, half chest and half head to get that kind of sound.

[Nater389]

No he does not quite mean that.

[aminul1984]

So what do you think he means when he says that its just in the middle?

[viv3147]

@Nater389 yes it is what he means in a sense. itsnot your middle voice but its a voice with chest and head positions.

[Nater389]

He is referring to a very controlled method. Chords vibrating in the middle only, and not at the ends. "Position of rest" in that sense is correct. He is not straining them that way and can move easily up and down. He mentions being able to easily jump to a high note this way.

[madisonelectronic]

Remember he taught mathematics. Physics is similar. When you pluck a guitar string a similarly tuned string on a nearby guitar will vibrate sympathetically. He is talking about nodes in physics, and he is right. It is complicated to explain, but think of a xylophone and the tubes underneath the wooden keys. Think of the tubes short and long. Since your pharynx cannot possiby be long enough as the xylophone the other variable is your vocal cords and the nodal vibration .

[svjatazarov]

он наглядно показал эту ноту, так как она является переходной и по правилам хороших итальянских школ её надо петь закрыто, в этом он абсолютно прав, но почему он не пошёл вверх закрытым звуком хотя бы до ноты РЕ?

[xXxOCSIHARmayhemxXx]

okay this may shock but i perform music called deathmetal or blackmetal

which is screaming

u need ur diafragm

but i want to learn how to sing like this much more

i really hope i can!

[Honken]

If you weren't using your diaphragm, you'd be dead. People need to stop confusing it with appogio, which is the technique that opera singers rely on for support.

[Nater389]

The technique he is referring to is VERY different from screaming deathmetal. It would take you years to learn if you haven't already fried your voice screaming in quite the literal sense. You may have already formed to many bad habits to break. Roberto Alagna screams opera most of the time and has already ruined his voice. I would check him out here on youtube and compare the same pieces to Pavarotti (especially early clips) and you'll see what I mean. Oh, and good luck with that.

[Liproll]

0:51 - 0:56

[explorer873]

LOL LIke an animal.

[davilacm]

....suspect a strangle....eehh

[largomalmsteen]

suspected strangle jaja

[Andurst]

"Like an animal....it's true"

[Honken]

"... *nods* ... is tru. Is, a little like that."

[Footlancer]

"Piu fatica," meaning " it's not hard work anymore.

He stopped trying to say it in english, and then said it in Italian. :)

[komoru]

what does he say around 0:58 after he says, 'I don't make much...' ?

[smallvilleadm]

i don't break much

[thehix]

I don't make much from here ( trying to say that it's easy for the throat).

[zava0]

Well, it's these 20 years that basically lead me into despair in every singing lesson!

[Liproll]

"...after 20 years, of course, but..."

hehehe

[voce29]

Old italian school teaches "la gola apperta, la voce coperto" Especially in the passagio,thats were all the trouble starts.

[libetta]

i had a similar problem when i took voice lessons! and Pavarotti did a nice job of pointing out the problem when singers don't bring out their voice, the voice becomes unclear and brash. my teacher demonstrated similarly. Great!

[raythetse]

Its funny you hear the guy sing so much with a great voice and then you hear him speak I wouldn't know it was the same guy.

[Mooorhe]

Does anyone else think Pavarotti's covered F# sounds heavenly?

[tenor220]

agreed!

[moorfan1]

More than heavenly...the way that sound just emanates from him...it is absolutely unreal.

[Pawelp]

Absolutely. The nobleness of the sound he mentions himself is exquisite.

[Footlancer]

YES... I think his passaggio (f, f#, g) sounds almost as glorious as his top.

And I DEFINITELY prefer his passaggio notes to any other tenor.. ever.

[aaronsande]

Yes I do...this was an excellent mini-lesson, though I cover naturally...I think of it as mixing in the head register, though not everyone agrees on just what that register is!

[Vanessabet1]

@Mooorhe

I am so glad you can hear the cover. I know so many singers and teachers who do not hear it and do not believe in it. Notice I did not say good singers and teachers.

[hedgechair]

A suggestion about "mask" from an ageing amateur. Hum on "Ah", mouth shut of course, for at least a twelfth. Open your mouth from time to time. If you are singing a true vowel when you mouth is open, and not a nasal hum, it should indicate a basically open throat an reasonable placement. When allowed to sing from time to time, this is my warm-up, but I cannot take it above the passagio, where the forward position MUST CHANGE.

[ideiao]

are the vocal chords.

[ideiao]

Let me participate!

When maestro Pavarotti speaks about to"cover" the sound, he is not telling to change the sound in any sense,but keeping it from geting wide and pushed.The word"coverd"is

often mistaken,it gives the wrong impression that some thing has to done on the mouth or throt.For exemple if you are a soldier in a militar operation then you tell your partners "cover me"what does it means?Protect me,help me right?In the singing it is the same,but in this case what we need to protect...

[Webarton]

when he says jumping to the other sound.. thats a reference to the sound after the passagio, the more head nasal resonance notes right?

[spgtenor]

Many light tenors include nasality in the resonance above the passaggio but it is not necessary nor preferred. The covered sound need not be in the mask, but on the inside. It's hard to describe, try opening an "u" vowel in the upper register and that's the general placement.

[viv3147]

@spgtenor very well put

[zedistai]

R.I.P. Pavarotti.

[zedistai]

Great man Pavarotti!

[BJustinBrasfield]

Hey guys...Pavarotti is great at this...I am still learning...I have some clips of Che Gelida Manina, O Sole Mio, and Nessun Dorma...could you take a look at comment and let me know how you think I'm doing and what I could do to improve?

[mrtyles]

he speaks english very well here.

[GLauriVolpi]

Esto enseña muy bien como este señor fue cantando cada vez con la boca más cerrada y perdiendo cada vez más agudos. Los disparates que dice!! Y la escala que hace cerrando y tapando el sonido!!!

[Plecostomus1986]

yo creo que cqdq vez fue abriendo mqs la boca y el sonido, con lo que el timbre fue perdiendo color.

[Willzito]

It's funny. He makes it looks easy ahauhauahuaah

He does this sound as if he's talking.

Great tenor, great person, great singer, great actor, great everything.

[phantom4087]

This helped out very much. Thank you!

[francotenelli]

Pavarotti is 100% right on that and he shows a good example of F# "Covered", the term covering is so badly understood by some teachers and singers alike that I think the term should not be used as explenation tool.

"Covered" simply means "Open throat"(don't mix it with another confusion(open throat vs open mouth). Open throat means lowered, as in yawn, and stable larinx.

if one has lowered and stable larinx he(she) will never experience passagio breaks or sound inconsistancy(check my postings)

[GermanOperaSinger]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but must one use a little head resonance while covering, in addition to a lowered larynx? Is the head voice the reason the covered notes sound 'noble' as Pavarotti put it?

[francotenelli]

head resonance is a must, without it there no projection(squillo)having said so I'm not crazy about so called mask suggestion because in more then 80% student when you mention mask disconnect registers and start sounding nasal: it's like a quick projection fix that may lead in to big trouble later on and besides it's not pretty.

What Pavarotti sugests is very common for Italian school of singing when chiaro-scuro concept was known before times.

Caruso is one of the greatest tenors of all times

[francotenelli]

was using this concept. I'm not sure about Alfredo Kraus, according to my ear he and his types of tenors use more of the mask and therefore sound more nasal. so it's the matter of taste of how one would blend registers but one thing is for sure: they should be connected.

[sedahedonja]

...but the mask is not the nose dear francotenelli! if you are singing focussing on the mask you can take two fingers and close the nose without changing the sound even a bit !!!

Pavaotti always sang with the mask, he even talked about that often.

I totally agree with that what you've said about the throat, though ;-), but you need a combination of both.

[francotenelli]

of course it's not a nose:) it's actualy doesn't exist. Mask is an area of sensation and didf singers feel it differently if at all. Suggestion to sing in a mask might work but in most cases causes nasality

[reynaldomonterrey]

seeing is believing n MAESTRO FRANCO HAS VIDEOS OF HIM SHOWING HIS TEACHINGS!!! tenellivoiceguru is his new channel go learn something i kan only suggest?

[bassodivo]

thank you, this is true, however mr tenelli, most people would have to be advanced practicing singers or professionals to know how true this is. alot of these people dont have operatic careers or are not pursuing one, and so do not know that you could not even consider an operatic career without a firm understanding of the basics which you speak of.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

I would not use Breslin as a solid reference. I believe his portrayal of Big Pava is very opportunistic, controversial and lacks fundametal ethics. If it weren't for Pava, Breslin would still be marketing small scale events and such. Even in his last years, Breslin tried squeezing the out the last penny out of Pava by composing such a controversial book. The alleged facts he put out may very well be his version and his version only.

[GEVORK6]

...too bad he didn't sing the dreaded F natural, I wonder if he covered that note...I suspect he probably did not...aa

[GEVORK6]

I think that Pavarotti, since he was a lyric tenor covered G and up....I think spintos cover F# and up......and Dramatics F and up....but I also think it depends on what piece he was performing and what flavor of sound he was looking for...etc....

[jhvorotin]

thanks a lot for these insights. I did not know that the tenors stopped covering beyond a F# or G. By the way, does Villazon cover his sounds? Some criticize him for damaging his vocal chords. Are they right?

[Chivalryaintdead]

I don't seem to understand what he is saying here, can someone elaborate please, I always seem to have to strangle.

[Agorante]

Very early in his career I bought a LP with him and Freni. I thought it was an album of duets. No, it was them discussing vocal technique at great length in Italian!

Read Breslin's book on Pavarotti - "The King and I" - and you will realize that in most ways he was a boob. But he really did understand vocal technique.

Those people who speak of his technique as "natural" are very, very wrong. He didn't just stumble into opera. He worked hard for years to develop that voice.

[karlfriedrich]

That is very interesting, you should put that album in the net :D

[compadrecerro]

@Agorante Hello Agorante; Do you think you could upload this LP with him and Freni discussing vocal technique......... It would be really interesting to listen to.........I hope you can post it.... Thanks a million........

[Agorante]

@compadrecerro

I still have the LP with him an Freni but I disconnected my turntable and receiver almost a year ago. I have a lot of old opera LPs that I have no way to listen to. Maybe I should do something about that.

[Agorante]

@compadrecerro

[primobaritono]

I wish the voice teachers at my university would watch this and stop yelling at me whenever I mention "covering"!

[Serggio123]

They yellow at you because "covering" is not a thing one should think about. If you have a properly opened throat (don't mix with opened sound) you shall have your passagio covered automatically, but the sound still will be forward.

[js59695]

He's right! Serggio is correct.

[evedust]

Thanks for posting if you have more of this please post. Wonderful to have this.

[QuiRan82]

This is sooo great :) :)
