Making a natural sounding tone

 

The 9 Biggest Lies About Singing

Big Lie #3- If you can sing classical style, you can sing anything.

Truth - If you can sing classical, you may still have LOTS of trouble making a "natural" sounding tone.

The faculty members adjust their glasses further down their noses and say "If you can sing classical, you can sing anything."

But the singer finds out AFTER 4 or 5 years of grueling study that they have been re-made into a kind of singer that they don't even like! 

The tragedy--They don't sound honest enough for most audiences. So what do they do? They quit singing and start teaching! And what do they teach their students? It normally starts out something like, "If you can sing classical, you can..."

I LOVE classical singing, by the way. It's just that most singers do not start out wanting to be classical singers. It just happens to be the most common type of teaching.

So we've come up with a new thing to say to students: "If you can get your voice to shift between registers easily, building that "bridge," you can sing classical and anything else you like." 

Is this really true?

Well, let me put it this way. Luciano Pavarotti was perhaps the most famous classical singer in the world. He gained the nickname "King of the High C's" because he could sing beautifully up to the C above middle C (referred to as the "male high C).

Using very simple exercises, you can easily go to D, E, F ABOVE high C within 3 or 4 lessons. "Trick" the voice into shifting gears at the right moment up the scale.
