i don't think of the act of singing requiring imagery. i think of it
as an action. to me, the place for imagery is in visualizing what it is i'm
talking about while i'm singing. it's just like talking (only different).
when i talk, i think (imagine) about what i'm saying not how i work my voice
to say it.
even when learning a new action, i think imagery is even more
confusing as, an image that works for one might just be a bunch of garble to
another. for example:...well, your image of hollowness. if you were my
teacher and you said "think of your entire instrument, your body, as hollow",
i'd probably just think "well, here on the good ole green and blue, we're,
pretty much, not hollow". but, if you said "put your hand on your head",
i'd be all over that (though, i might not be too good at it, at first).
(darn, tina, before you came up with this 'hollow' stuff, you seemed
so sensible.)
with love & affection,
mike
