lloyd,
beautifully constructed soapbox (no danger of falling).
i think everyone on this list would agree as they are principles that are totally rational- healthy voice, able to sing in a wide variety of styles ("no thank you, i prefer to cough blood singing one style badly"). the breakdown comes in the implementation. i have always found you to be well informed and well spoken (written) when it comes to theory. i am very curious to know the specifics of your practice. by what means do you evaluate a voice other than listening? by what criteria do you judge progress?
it is my guess that you deal mostly (exclusively?) with classical singers. if listening is your method of evaluation, what would you look for in a non classical singer's voice as a sign of health (lack thereof being obvious)?
