I'm reading "Great Singers on Great Singing" by Jerome Hines. For those
who have read it, or maybe similar quotations by Pavarotti, can you give me
you idea of what you think Pavarotti is describing when he talks about
"squeezing" through the passaggio. He states that the sound is "more
squeezed inside me. It doesn't mean the sound comes out like that. The
sound should be even, but inside there is a kind of..almost a suffocation
of the sound Also, you use very much the resonance in the passaggio-more
than usual...But remember, not enlarging, but squeezing."
Could someone explain to me more in pedagogical/muscle action terms what
they think he is talking about?
Thanks,
Sandra
