It does shimmer, doesn't it? Personally, I think her best example on that CD
is the one at the end of "Ain't it a pretty night" (I really don't think G&BG
or Summertime are that suited to her). That one is the one I play for my
students when I show them how a large voice can be streamlined down to a
shimmer.
Mine isn't half bad. It involves support support support and for me the
image of "going down the front"... which may not mean anything to you, but it
works for me.
