<< Well, there are several issues here. First of all, Roger Love does not talk about vowel modification much at all in his book and that does need to be taken into consideration for the registers to blend. SLS a la Riggs speaks extensively of modifying vowels. Secondly, you are a low baritone. The ability to vocalize to a certain note (to visit it per se) does not mean you want to live there, and some of the songs you mention live there. >>
randy,
i am well acquainted with the practice of vowel modulation. i think the difficulty in using this range is, as you say, i am a low baritone and, just because i can 'ring and run' the notes it doesn't mean i can sustain them. i have to confess, i do not like to be limited in any way so, i'm trying to see how many ranges and styles i can get away with. i'm not convinced i can't do it, however, i realize it is likely to be found on the outer limits of my abilities (dammit!). thanks for your response.
