karena,
the technical considerations you are talking about may or, may not
become more 'second nature'. i have known some singers to become even more
'anal' about their techniques as they go.
there are two possible solutions that i can think of to help you.
the first is to see if the techniques you are working on resemble any
'natural' action. for example, the ribs tend to kick out when coughing.
while this would be a fairly violent model, the behavior of the torso, as if
it were one unit, can be helpful if you are thinking of all the motions of
the torso, individually. so, while the feel of singing is going to be very
different from that of coughing (i hope), the feel of how to use the torso as
a unit rather than a bunch of seperate actions, is useful though it may be in
a far more gentle usage. the other approach is to make the techniques you
are so consciously working on, part of your interpretation as if they were
part of the blocking. the benefit of doing this is that you can't think of
one without being aware of the other so, psychologically, at least, the two
are more intergrated rather than having to choose one at the expense of the
other.
another approach is to see how you sing when you 'go for it' and find
a technical approach that addresses whatever goes wrong when you do 'go for
it'. while you might not find a technique that is optimal, it may be better
to have something you a likely to use rather than something that may
ultimately frustrate you.
