Singer E - Lesson Excerpt (10/2/06)

from Cornelius L. Reid Project Hosted by Cornelius L. Reid

Comment: Using the falsetto to take away the aggressive quality of the chest voice. Showing that loud singing does not equate with greater physicality. Quote: (To) Force: the use of excessive energy to compensate for an absence of muscular equilibrium within the vocal tract; to "push." ...since the mechanism is not in a state of balanced tension, lost energy must be replaced by an excessive use of force. ...Since energy dissipation and forcing are caused by muscular interference within the laryngeal pharynx, this problem cannot be solved by withholding energy, but by redirecting it. When, through training, the coordinative process yielding vocal tone has been brought into equilibrium, it is impossible to force - regardless of the intensity being sung or the amount of energy being expended.

Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G.
