The Singers Thread

Well now I'm all kinds of confused.

I had a coaching today (not with my regular teacher) and we moved my voice out of that "front/mask" area, and let it be completely in the back of my head, but not in my throat.

The recording sounded much better than anything I've done thus far, the high/middle parts floated out nicely with no thinning of the sound, my voice actually moved faster and much smoother than it has before... but it seems completely counter-intuitive to everything I've done before. I'm singing with a "Yogi-bear" voice, but it comes out sounding really nice.

I don't know what to think. I'm a little paranoid that it's going to wreck my voice. However, it is the way that the coach sings and his voice is still fantastic well into his 60's... and it made me sound a LOT better on the recording. It sounded more mature, but floated instead of sounding "pressed" like it would if I were forcing the sound.

So I'm going to try it. Fingers crossed it turns out awesome.
