Actually, I didn't mean to imply that Shakespeare was a great (or even
good) pedagogue - only that he was a student of Lamperti. Actually, based
on what I've read of PLAIN WORDS ON SINGING, it would appear that
Shakespeare taught something very much like "speech level singing", i.e.,
with singing sounding "as natural as the most expressive talking".
Given how very, very few people speak with anything approaching good vocal
technique, I would be highly wary of ANY singing technique that takes
speech as a role model, except perhaps in the un(self)consciousness of the
inhalation process.
