Wim,
There are some technical things that I don't agree with in your posts
regarding your understanding of the physiology involved in chest, mix, head,
falsetto voice etc. In large part, Lloyd's recent response to this thread
would be concurrent with what my understanding is.
As far as SLS and "one size fits all".......all I can say is that the proof
is in the pudding. SLS students have been signed to major record labels, are
leads/singers in many on and off Broadway productions and have sung in
nearly all the major opera houses in Europe.....something must be working.
Having said that........I believe that voice physiology and pedagogical
knowledge is available to anyone. No one teacher, method, technique etc., has
the absolute truth on the matter. However, once in awhile, out of the masses
of singers and teachers, rise those that are extraordinarily gifted in their
ability to understand the voice and in their ability to extend and apply that
understanding to their students. These ones are called mentors,
pedagogues.......and I believe that Seth's work will be included as one of
the significant contributions to the vocal health of singers in the 20th
century. IMHO.
Best to you,
