I can sympathize with your desperation having been in a somewhat similar
situation. How did I get out? I prayed for the right teacher to help me.
I affirmed to myself that the right person was out there and that we
would connect. I did find the right teacher and I got to work.
Talking about technique and getting advice online can only take you so
far. There are miles between intellectual acceptance of a concept and
the actual physical experience of singing effectively. It is absolutely
necessary to have a trained, knowledgeable person guiding your
sensations and helping you form your own healthy way of using your
voice. You need an outside ear attached to a person who knows what they
are doing. Time isn't something you have it is something you make. If
you want to sing you will make the time to do the necessary work. It is
not rocket science.
My teacher studied with Dame Eva Turner and Theodore Harrison (who
himself studied with a very old Manuel Garcia). While I respect
people's desire to explore all aspects of vocal physiology and the
multitude of ways to articulate vocal ideas, in my opinion it is all
very simple and boils down to movement of air. I don't send my sound
anywhere, per se. I keep my air moving along a certain path in a
consistent way so as to have maximum resonance and projection. I find
from my experience that when people gett too complicated, begin to
"Place the voice" or "place the sound" they inhibit air flow,
accumulate muscle tension and cut off rather than enhance and free up
resonance possibilities. I keep my work as simple as possible so I have
mental energy and focus for getting myself and my listeners involved in
a musical experience.
I wish you all the best and sincerely hope that you find your path.
