John,
Now that I think about it, I remember one lesson with my teacher some years
ago. He had me sing a low note passage of some aria "...and try to sound as
baritonal as you can possibly manage..." Afterwards, he said "Good, now
don't ever sing that way again!" Reminds me of some of your methods, John.
This advice is similar to that which a voice teacher friend of mine has just
written to me privately. Thanks.
