jennifer--
I ENTIRELY agree with you! Singing in chest voice regularly is NOT a replacement for a well-built and supported head mix. I'm afraid not enough people stress this, and there are MANY young female singers (that i've heard) who have ended up with a big break.
For those of you who are not familiar with this occurance, here's what results:
between the low, low chest -- like B and below -- and around A above middle C, the sound gets very fuzzy... no matter what the singer cannot focus it. It must be so frustrating... I had a friend who was a very talented singer -- a big beautiful top, and so artistic -- but from so many years of taking her chest voice up to F above middle C, she got this break, and it really ruined her.
Please, everyone be careful of this!!
Lauren
