Hi Caio and all.
Re. your questions, I can't comment on your teachers' voice as I've not heard him. I was being a little naughty here, and should have said, generally sing like pigs!!!
And no, I don't 'do' anything. I let my body do what it must do: I open my mouth and sing. A glorious stream of tone appears (Ian says rather immodestly, but truthfully!!)
It's a very hard concept to believe in: I appreciate that. To be able to leave your instrument alone and concentrate on singing the music required does obviously take great skill. I spend most of my teaching undoing all the useless concepts and 'methods' put in by other teachers. 'Methods' that are often very dangerous and injurous to the vocal mechanism. The pulling the abs thing in being one of them. Believe me Caio, it's bad news!!
I sing anything I want to (I appreciate I am blessed with an unusual versatile instrument which was given to me naturally) opera, musical shows, pop and rock are all in my repertoire. I have been a professional singer for 30 years, and I have never missed a note, cracked a note or anything of that nature, because my voice is free!
The only time I allowed a singing teacher to change the way I had always sung, and that was the wide ribs, pulled in abs, ribs getting wider to the end of the phrase school, my voice packed in altogether and my right vocal cord was damaged. That's why I'm anti this kind of 'support' that old William Shakespeare treatise on singing, which should at all costs be burnt on the pyre!!!
Hope that's more informational Caio?
Best wishes,
Ian Voice wrecker to the stars!
