Hayden- Smith- Ch. 10-14

10

The bit about legato singing reminds me of something that we have been working on lately in lessons, with keeping resonance consistent in the chest. We've also been working on being conscious of the vowels I am singing in English (this in coachings). It's interesting to me that we don't have English diction classes.

I like the idea of "vowel substitution" as opposed to "vowel modification"

Fioratura vs coloratura?

I like what he writes about musical theatre singing. Singing theatre stuff does not come easily to me, so I think I will try to apply some of this stuff to a theatre piece or two.

What he writes about Fachs is interesting. I've spent plenty of time this semester trying to figure out what pieces would sound the best in my voice, but that's not the strategy that he thinks is best.

Consonants

There was a lot of other stuff in chapter 11 that I really liked, but none that I really felt like commenting on. I do think it'll be a chapter that I will go back to later.

Take responsibility for your own voice.

Being prepared can help make one a good colleague.

Hydration! I love water

Looks like I gotta get into a better exercise habit

How can I be happy with myself so as to sing my best?
