Greetings all!
I've exhausted all my resources on this problem, time to consult my gurus...
I'm working on Caccini's "Ave Maria" for a recital Aug 10th. The first note of
the song is a lovely, naked "ah" right smack in the middle of my passaggio
(C4), which I hold for four beats. Try as I might, I simply cannot get rid of
my breathy attack. I've tried every technical approach I know of (making sure
the vowel is vertical, plenty of lift in the palate, relaxed jaw and tongue,
practicing with a consonant in front of the vowel, etc., etc.), as well as all
my "Inner Game of Music" tricks. Nothing works!
I've been studying voice for seven years now, and it really bugs me that I
can't work this out. Why is this so hard?
As always, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Rachel
