All I have to say to that silly post!! Do not tuck in your lower abs! Disaster! Disaster! Anyone teaching that should be struck off!
Luisa Tetrazzini: one of the greatest singers of the last century would not dream of wearing corsets when singing, lest in contravene her stringent breathing regime, which was, free abs at any cost! No pulling in of any muscle which had no function in singing!
Dame Nellie Melba said much the same, apart from "the ribs should be kept extended until the attack has ceased" In other words, once the ribs have done their duty, leave them alone! That means breathing in and then using the outgoing breath for singing. No more no less! If any listers listens to both Divas, they will find Tetrazinni's singing lovely and exciting, but lacking when punching out a controlled top note. They will find Melba's singing beautiful (which is a different thing to lovely) controlled and never wayward!
My tuppence ha'penny worth: no more, no less!
Ian. Again, voice wrecker to the stars!!!!!!!1
