Religion is a science, Parapsycology is a science, UFOLOGY is a science. Have you seen ghosts, have you seen a "telekynetic" moving an object? Have you seen an alien? Well, that should shut your mouth! By the way, CALLAS had voice problems and never had nodules or anything detected in her vocal chords. Doctors could do nothing. Even today, some singers singing perfectly well develop nodules and they go to surgery for a "quick" fix as opposed to other ways. "shaman/witch doctors"? How pathetic!!
There you go trying to get the conversation down the drain by saying "stories are cute..." We are having a conversation, an intesresting one (so I thought) You should know that ALL those exercises that "doctors" use to get rid of stuuf in the voice are based on exercises and pracitises dating back to material used by composers > Marchesi and all those( cannot remember really all names) Of course if you have a nodule you got to surgery I know of singers who cured with specific vocalises and rest
Maybe because it turned into science that all sopranos today sound ecxatly the same. The Uniqueness of voices from the 30's 40's and 50's and some of the second half of the century are just a memory now in recordings. I believe (as a singer) in a mixed approach. You cannot tell a student who's just starting to lower the larynx and stuuf like that. One has to use imagery and sensation directives to get a result. The instrument is hidded- not a clarinet where you say-put your lips here and blow!
Your posturing and stories are quite cute, but that doesn't change the fact that vocal production is a science. This is why we go to doctors when our voice is damaged or feared to be damaged. We don't go to shaman or witchdoctors.
I mean...proof of what the book says about falsetto singing. I have incredible volume and I have all the same breaks as a soprano. AND I have done laryngeal exam...and after 10 years of singing countettenor my vocal chords vibrate just like If I were singing baritone. My doctor was amazed. he said because I have I trined voice it "awoke" the whole vocal chord to sing in the head voice, diferent than in not trained countertenors. Miller was good but I heard better voices than his trained diferent
What a silly comment of "Throat doctors and voice specialists would all sing!" Just because one knows how does not mean that one has put in the dedicated study and practice with said knowledge to be able to do it. Playing the violin or 'cello is an exact science, but requires years of practice and study. Just because know merely knows how does not mean one can do it without the appropriate grunt work.
They sound boring and mechanical because they lack musicality. Vocal production is a science. Musicality is much less a science and more about good taste and knowing how your audience will respond. You keep mentioning being a male soprano as if it is something that most men can't do. Most men have very active falsettos. They just don't employ them as such. Singing is a science. Making music is an art. Know the difference.
Richard Miller-The GOD! but I heard some of his students in tape: they sound boring and mechanical! Its is not an exact science at all. If it were Throat doctors and voice specialists would all sing! and evryone who read a book would know how to sing! There's lot;s of things in siging that are a mistery and cannot be taught by means of merely physiological approach. I as male soprano (falsetist)am a living proof of what Ricahrd miller says on his books.

Your ideas of science are rather faulty. And if ya get any nellier here, you'll explode into a pile of shoes.
