@lilemokidjordan It's because we don't always... KNOW how we do it. Hahahaha
Pavarotti would always try to teach his master classes and just say "Just DO it." He had no idea how alot of what he did worked. Most good singers don't. They just take their voice-teacher's word for it

why do singers always spew out bullshit about "searching your soul", why don't they just tell you how to actually sing with the correct technique?

Pavarotti's technique WAS natural...and his technique was CONSCIOUSLY natural. He understood how his natural voice worked...how it resonanted...how he supported it...how he reached the top correctly thru the passaggio. It was a supremely natural voice...and lasted throughout his live BECAUSE it was CONSCIOUSLY executed in that way. The end result...his perfect voice...was LEARNED. He worked very hard to learn how to sing naturally in this way. No other way will last.

@hiyadroogs THANK GOD SOMEBODY FINALLY UNDERSTANDS THE POINT OF IT ALL. THANK GOD! :D I think I'll quote you someday :D
@operalament Without technique, there is NO voice. Voice IS technique. If you feel that Pav had a great natural sounding voice, it's because his marvelous technique overcame the technical difficulties that would otherwise interfere with the free function of his voice. He didn't have that voice to begin with, it took years of exercises to achieve. If I gave you a Stradivarius violin, & you can't play, you'll get nothing but scratchy notes. But the potential of the instrument remains the same.

This is why Villazon is finished: he couldn't never get over passaggio with confidence because he never had a solid technique, as his fellow José Cura too (both sponsored by Domingo).
