I got very behind in this book, but I figured better late than never posting my thoughts!
Chapter 1 mainly talked about the different qualities and descriptive words used to identify a singer's voice. I found when reading the different qualities most were a matter of quality and not correctness/healthy singing, and a few would classify healthy vs. unhealthy singing. Here are my take aways:
Quality
- Bright vs. Dark
- Back vs. Forward
- Vibrant vs. Straight tone
Correctness/Healthy Singing
- Breathy vs. Clear (a singer can sing in a breathy tone in a healthy manner, but it takes training)
- Clean vs. Raspy (takes training)
- Healthy vs. Damaged
- Nasal vs. Non-Nasal (severity is dependent on language)
- In tune vs. Not in tune
- Good diction vs. Poor diction
- Stylistically correct vs. Stylistically incorrect
Now each of these classifications are very much subjective. However, they are helpful in describing a voice as they are easy ways to hear someone sing.
