You know, this may be changing the subject but maybe not...My teacher teaches
a "lowering of the soft palate" technique for the lower register, which for
me begins at theF above middle C, then down to the A below. Along with the
lowering of the palate she tells me to "put some smile" into the vowel, sort
of "brightening" the vowel. This gives a rich sound that has a lot of
carrying power, yet doesn't feel the same to me as singing in chest did. I
am wondering-is this a mix? Is it maybe a healthier way to sing chest? I
was afraid that I would never again sing these notes after my surgery, since
I seemed to have awakened in another octave...:-) but using this technique I
can sing lower longer without straining.
