MIke:>however, a year or so ago, lloyd
mentioned using paper towels as a muffle for those unexceptional singers who
had trouble finding head voice (i use this too. the singer bunches up a
couple of paper towels and holds it to their mouth. they look as if they
were chloroforming themselves). the idea is that, when the singer is less
aware of what they sound like, they treat their singing more like an action
(which, it is) and while commiting the act of singing, they find access to
the head voice. it is something they already have the latent ability to do.
they don't just suddently start doing it as if divinely inspired. when
the paper towel is removed, the sound is usually different from anything the
singer would have thought of doing (explaining why they were unable to do it
before). adjusting this resultant sound to fit the singer's needs is a
paint job, not a task that resembles a rube goldberg cartoon.
as long as you think singing is 'magic', it will be difficult, if not
impossible. but, if you can see it as the simple trick that it is, you
will
be able to do it easily.<
That's a technique stemming from the top-down approach, the opposite of the
bottom-up one.
Kind of behind with my inbox ( 200 msgs in line ), but it's sometimes worth
the delay.
Hugs,
Caio
