Where would you put Larmore and Troyanos? My voice has been liked in some
respects to FvS and also to Troyanos. I try to avoid head/chest terminology
- I find that there are some students of mine who work best when we come from
a chest place - usually little soprano voices that don't have much meat to
them. They're the ones who have to learn to find chest voice because they've
avoided it so much. Other singers have too much bottom and with them, top
down works better. It all depends.
