Might as well add that just about every recording to the date of this post you've posted isn't working, I really want to listen the recordings of your change to tenor i believe our voices are very similar and am hoping to gleam some more knowledge of my own voice<br /><br />I believe I've found the small voice your referring to, never noticed it before. hitting high notes seems to be much easier with this little voice thought it was falsetto at first because feels almost exactly like it but then when I bring it down to my middle range it becomes obvious it's not. I find it easier to do when I'm humming and it sounds a little more pressed than my full voice.FinnDeljuegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977097797435718047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919674981128634746.post-19535255117097932212010-06-15T01:25:15.280-04:002010-06-15T01:25:15.280-04:00Great comment Klaus!

But you can be certain I will run it through the EGG. It is becoming more complete by the day. Will record more once I can get some sleep.

Excellent questions and thank you for...Dear David,<br /><br />Excellent questions and thank you for noticing that the great tenors have a thread in common. I assume Fleta is the exception. But as I remember is studied in Italy for a time.<br /><br />My observation is that the fuller high C does not have the 4-5kHz peak, but rather achieves a stronger F1 that balances out the F2. There is also a strong SF content.<br /><br />Many speak of the high C gathering its strength on either F2 or SF, but in those tenors I mention there is a strong energy in both.<br /><br />I agree. This transition has taken me to so many in-between stages that are necessary for ultimate balance. The voice is a fascinating thing. The more I study, the more I see a real correlation between acoustic and muscular dynamics.<br /><br />I welcome your commentary any time.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />JRLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919674981128634746.post-64538153513682670562010-06-07T20:45:14.925-04:002010-06-07T20:45:14.925-04:00Awesome post!

Been following for awhile and finally posting a comment/question too:<br /><br />Does pressed voice throughout the male range display such peaks at 4-5kHz? If you had sung your "ideal" high C, would everything else have been the same but with less energy in the 4-5khz range? OR, would the laws of thermodynamics have kicked in and caused a redistribution of energy from the 4-5khz to the 1st formant and other places?<br /><br />Eh, so a few questions! ;) I'm so glad you write and share this stuff with the world. It's so rare we ever get to hear the work in progress, and if we did hear it more often, maybe young singers would be more patient with their own development. <br /><br />PS- what a coincidence that 4/5 of the great tenors you referenced all essentially studied with the same teacher :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036769557285040788noreply@blogger.com
