Reg,
I agree with what you say except for the last word, for which I would
substitute "freed" (since the defective ways of producing tone
typically involve fixing, i.e., making inflexible, the method of
production, and what is required is to free it. Another substition I
would accept for "fixed" is "improved".
Just as I suggested to Tenore Lirico that he abandon his attempt to
sing correctly, I suggest abandoning the attempt to fix the way one
sings.
Having a good time here on this very active list,
