No passagio with Appoggio or unique way to avoid voice inconsistancy

Choosing right voice technique at the very early stage will help a learning student to avoid future problems.

There are 3 major classical techniques:
Placement, covering andopen-throat-appogio.

Placement technique divides voices in registers to achieve full range.

Covering is used to help supporting voice in difficult passages using modification of the vowels.

Open-throat appogio technique abbandons registral division as unnatural and uses support only to achive full range.

Mister Tenelli, are the concepts for appogio applicable for all vocal types? As I am a Countertenor, I am having a bit of difficulty singing with an open larynx and appogio. I would really be glad to hear your reply. My voice instructor is having difficulty because, as he said, I am his first countertenor student and, probably, concepts for vocal techniques might be different for countertenors..

@justinblazer No, appoggio concet doesn't apply to countertenors, though one should support voice anyway. I have never worked with countertenors, so I have no experience to tell you. According to some theory Counter-tenors are not tenors, they are falsetists.

Falsetto is managed in general by "sul fiato" technique not by active (Ballanced)diaphragm

This is simply brilliant. I had no idea what method I was using but now I know I've been using covering for high stuff. Are there an exercises you would suggest in order to be able to basically do what you did and sing the high notes with no clench and with a clear open sound using appogio?

[TenelliVoiceGuru]

@masterassassin1 sure, first exercise is patience:)

Appoggio builds up one registral singing, e.g. no breaks or inconsistancy in voice by using dynamic support. Watch my appoggio step by step on my blog.

Hello it is great to find your channel. I am a vocal coach and use a combination of the Bel Canto method and speech level singing. I am really interested in how the open throat method works with the basic physiology of the voice and the required air pressure needed to allow the vocal folds to vibrate (The Bernoulli Effect and Myoelastic Dynamic Effect) correctly to create a sound which can then be used in the resonating chambers and with the articulatory mechanism??

[TenelliVoiceGuru]

@davidsreidy if you go to my McGill lectures(here on my channel) I go more into basic physiology:)

Bel Canto technique was used as empirical method with little science involved and based primerly on support, consistancy and mostly sound itself.

In openthroat-appogio approach I use more science to understand how it realy works but mainly teach empiricaly. Sound is my material:)

Natural speaking habbits are used only with those students who prior to singing have natural resonance in their artic

thanks!

A very good and clear example.

As i hear it, singers like Giacomini are using the covering, and lets say that Di Stefano is an example to the total opposite.

I love them both... :)

Buonasera. potrebbe in futuro postare qualcosa in italiano?Mi interesserebbe

Ragazzi....appoggio has 2 g's!

Fantastic information!!!!!! Obviously, you are the Maestro.

Your insight is quite profound....... Truly you have acquired great experiences that allow you to teach principles that so-called vocal teachers and vocal coaches have No clue. Unfortunately, so much wasted time and effort by the poor uniformed student seeking to find simplicity in his training. This understanding is unavailable anywhere else on Youtube, to the best of my knowledge. Your ability to demonstrate speaks for itself.

Beautiful demo: The first open sound is amazingly consistent and pleasing to the ear. Second sounds labored even though I'm sure it isn't for you.
