I would like to hear from people who are professional
classical singers, (and who use their voices daily,)
as to their initial approach to ensuing that their
voice is performing as well as it was "yesterday".
Given of course, that "yesterday," was a really
GOOD day.
My early morning approach includes the ever
denigrated support on soft tones and each of the
vowels up and down the scale.
Later I find the peaking of my technique occurs
when I move into repeated soft but fast arpeggios
just short of two octaves. The more diligently I
pursue this patterning the greater my vocal agility
and the easier my tone, but it literally rests on the
earlier work.
If you use an approach similar to this, for how long
do you repeat the exercise?
It also appears to me seems that singing much
above forte in these exercised is unnecessary
and unproductive. This brings me to another part
of the daily routine. When you're learning music,
do you sing it very quietly until you establish the
vowel and rhythm or do you have some other
approach?
I imagine that repeatable technique begins with
repeated routine, at least that's what I have
found. What do the professionals do?
Thanks.
