do you mean that the pop singers use a high laryngeal position on purpose?
Does this not cause vocal fatigue?
I really have to go now because I have to be in Memphis is 4 hours and it is
a 3 hour drive.
BUT--I wonder--have you heard the group ROCKAPELLA and if so what do you
think of them?
And the only singer you cited that I really recognize, besides Madonna, who I
like ok and I know studied classically, is Barbra Streisand. And I still
find her higher notes painful to listen to, so maybe this is just a matter of
preference. I don't like turnip greens either, and boy am I in a minority
down here.....
BTW, not trying to be obnoxious here, really I am just curious--what kind of
singer are you? And if you like the pop sound so much, what are you doing on
this list, I mean, doesn't all the classical technique stuff drive you nuts?
After all, this is a classical singing discussion list. Then again, maybe
you are really and truly one of those people who actually truly do appreciate
and like ALL kinds of music. I know a lot of folks who say that, but few who
really mean it.....Maybe you are the one who does!!
Again, I'm not trying to be ugly (how is that for a southern expression?)--I
am really curious. Without talking to you face to face it is easy to be
misunderstood, and my intent is simply to understand more where you are
coming from.
