Kristina, When I pinch my nose when singing, you cannot hear a difference. You and I have always disagreed on the placement of the voice. I have had many...
Ron Like you I also struggle with the idea of "forward" placement, - My problem is terminology, in that horrific nasal singing is the most "forward" placement...

How does your teacher describe "retraction?" It's not a phrase I've heard applied to singing before. Certainly you don't want to add tension to your shoulders...

The tongue is only one part of the equation. For the largest range and most versitility, learning to raise the soft palate is important, and for most singers,...
I recently suggested pinching the nose...but the placement shouldn't shift to the back of your throat. It should move lower, down to the front part of your...
Ron~ I appreciate your strong beliefs, and I will not try to change your mind. Do know that I have read information on the sort of thing you describe....
Kristina, This is not only language that we disagree. I used to sing with the mask placement that you preach to everyone on this board about. I have changed...

... Hi there, Anastasia. I think that regardless of whether this teacher knows what she is doing, or not, she is not satisfying your need for clarity. She is...

Ron, "forward placement" does *not* limit resonation to the mask. I believe this would be physically impossible. You are still resonating in your tracheal ...
Anastasia~ I personally disagree with her choice to not allow you to sing except at lessons, which I've explained before. I think three months time singing...
Kristina, I understand the concept of singing in the mask - I did it for years. In my opinion, it should NOT be the primary resonator as you are suggesting to...
It's best to tell each teacher about the other. No one can teach you effectively if you leave out information that is pertinent to your singing. You may also...
Ron, as I just posted, the mask is not the primary resonator. You are still resonating in the tracheal tree, larynx, and pharynx. What we are talking about is...
