  • I fail to see why so many singers obsess over the actual 'kyphosis' or hunchback? In his biography 'My Life' Titio Gobbi refers to the idea that he, himself, would often arch his own back and physicality to produce the effect without the aid of any prosthetic. He also mentions that many singers of old had to do this and found they had to learn to support the voice in this position...

    he did all his own Make-up also!

    I think your work looks to be completely wonderful! You must be very proud!
