Re: Proper singing

Gentlemen: I discovered another secret and you tell me if it works for you. Do
you have problems on tags or just long passages where you don't seem to have
enough oxygen to make it through the phrase?
Close your mouth and pull the air in
through your nose only, the warm air warmed by your nose that you use
for singing will let you belt a tag out or make it through a phrase like
nobody's business!

What say you? George Luken

The key to having enough breath is found in taking a large enough breath not just before the long passage, but the breath before it as well. Phil Richards...

I share Alex's preference for breathing through the mouth, in normal circumstances. When standing with good posture, i.e. erect, with rib case expanded,...

I'm with Jim Dodge - a perfect description of what happens. I studied with Joseph Klein way back there, and he was huge on "lift-drop." It's what I teach today...
