As far as I am concerned, amplification questions have no place anywhere in
any discussions of technique (Classical singers). I really don't understand
this thread. I have sung in rotten houses, and great houses. I sing with
the same technique. One thing I have noticed is that the bigger the house
the better the voice sounds! My voice at lest needs space to grow and warm.
You may say that I have never sung in the U.S. massive houses. Well I have
sung in Music Hall in Cincinnati (second largest space in the U.S.), and I
have sung in a 20,000 seat Roman amphitheater. Boy that was strange. You
finish a note and 1 1/2 seconds latter you hear the tone!!! Because of this
you feel like you are singing into a feather pillow. You have to trust that
you are being heard and don't try to fill the space, in other words don't
push.
