First of all, I want to thank all of you for your ideas and
suggestions. I will try my best to understand them.
I am a 18 year-old tenor and I just love singing opera. I never had a
lesson before but somehow I learned alot by reading and listening to
CD's, and chatting online. In any rate, I have asked my friend before
on singing [i], and he agreed with me that it's harder than other
vowels. As for me, I need as much effort to sing an [i] vowel at G as
an AH/EH at high A.
Someone mentioned high larynx problem. I do have such problem, and I
think that is what prevents me from singning higher. My question is
that does larynx ever move up even when singing a High C, or it's
allowed to move up when singing any note above the second passage
point (G for lyric tenor). One of the solutions that I come up with
is to practice more and more. I remember once someone asked Pavarotti
what was his secret of having a seamless passaggio, and Pavarotti
said to him: "Ten years."
I will keep singing and practicing. I will be in college this fall so
at least I can find a teacher. I know that many of you are
professionals and I feel honored to share my experience with you.
Regards,
Richard
