Thanks, Karen. You made my day! I've often wondered about the same thing.
You'd think the technicians would be more sensitive to all those poor
singers who listen to this and feel inadequate because ... Naaah.
To add to what has been said so far about breathing... From my own
experience, I made tons of progress when I started being aware of my lower
back position. I noticed a tendency to arch it forwards (yeah, like my
derriere needs to stick out even further...), but correcting this has really
opened up my breathing space below the rib cage and relaxed my breathing in
general. Just something you might want to consider.
Welcome to the list,
Rachel
