I know this is a widespread method to lock vocalic resonance, however don't you think initial consonants, those syllabic props that phonologically launch vowels, had better be reintroduced trim than dim? Much as you consciously dismantle the vocal chain into consonants and vowels in order to focus on the latter's resonance only, there can be but little competing with primal vocal chain structuration, which settled from infancy. Chances are, sooner or later, the previous gestures will resurface, catching you unawares, ruining your efforts. So why not take advantage of your natural phonological traits instead, checking their sounding potential for singing purposes? Say your natural "kah" syllable comes with a better ring than the standard belcanto-taught "a" vowel towed to a faint, slack, harmless, disconnected "k": now, what is deterring you from producing this trump whenever you can? Not only should it pay off in terms of a freer emission, but it may also give you the edge with original vocal effects you hadn't thought lay dormant in your voice otherwise.
