What a great response, thanks very much some very useful tips.. I am from the UK and have been singing for 7 years. Our chorus (Thames Valley) has come between...
Oops, sorry. I copied the Toolbox document from Word to the email to make it easier - it looked OK in my email but disintegrated in Yahoo, so here it is ...
Yahoo beat me again and removed it so I have published it here. The alignment isn't quite right but close.:- http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcmr29wp_1cp95ksg4 ...

Excellent tool(box). As I have been writing -- and I am hardly the expert -- I wonder if the goal of any of us should be to "sound like Oxley". While his is a...
Richard, Maybe a translation issue across the pond. What are "false folds"? ... -- Derick Sturke My Weblog: http://derick-theyoungcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/ ...
Here is a conundrum I would like to throw out at other bases. I tend to have the strongest sense of tonal center of most quartets I have sung with. I.e. I...
Permit me an opinion on this: It has to do with song selection and arrangement decisions. If a song has some pickups, and the arrangement calls for lead solos...
Derick, I'm not an expert or even a music judge (grin), but from my experience if YOU are maintaining the tonal center of the chorus, you are trying to direct...
I forgot.... I also can sing some Baritone, depending on who you ask. And, Tom, I'd like to hear from some others.... I disagree with your suggestion that he...
Hi Jon - yeah, I'm bi-sectional too... As a matter of fact, I really only enjoy singing bari when the lead and bass really have their act together. If they...
Derick I never liked the phrase but a definition is:- These are a pair of thick folds of mucous membrane that sit just above, and protect the more delicate...
Let me throw this thought into the mix. It really is a partnership between the basses and leads to keep on pitch. It takes a ton of listening on both parts....

Neat FASCINATING OVERTONES However Tuvan throat singing should be of real interest to us because it is about the production of overtones. I first discovered...

HI guys, Since throat singing is no no in regular singing (including barbershop), I suspect you would get nowhere in competetion; however, in a sing out either...
I agree with leadderman. I have been singing mostly lead but also a lot of bass since joining soceity. So I can relate since I have been on both sides. As a...
I have to weigh in on this one. I'd say do NOT even attempt this "throat singing." First of all, you don't know what it is (I don't, and I've been teaching...

Hi guys, Brian Beck's response kind of what I thought; however, not being certain I only made my message as a warning. ... From: BBeckBass <bbeckbass@...>...
Don.... I certainly hope that no matter where the throat is, my tongue was firmly in my cheek on that line! Derick (Who could not possibly see death metal as...
If what your talking about with this throat singing is what I think you are talking about, I would say never seriously try it or attempt it. Major "singers"...
Gents, we've save another youth from the "depths of de-grad-ation"*..... <ROFL> Seriously, Alex, GREAT to have you as a part of our singing fraternity, and I...
Right on Alex. Many years ago as a youth. I sang improperly. As sang to much throat singing. Over almost 2 decades now, I use as little throat as I can get by...

What do you guys think about it. And can you also tell me the basics to improving a better quality bass? [Non-text portions of this message have been...

Tom in Cincy had some GREAT ways to check on yourself, but the one below was my favorite. Years ago I sang baritone in the Dealer's Choice ('73 Champs)....
