peggy,
i can't imagine how anyone can go for very long teaching people to make
new sounds from scratch. i think it is so much easier to rework sounds
people can already make and, i have never found anyone who couldn't already
make the sounds they needed to sing well. and, as they can already make
those sounds, you don't have to teach them how, you just have to convince
them to make them while singing (that's where a tape recorder comes in handy).
some very useful sounds ('door creaks', bullwinkle, singing like an
idiot, etc), in their usual context, can sound very unlike singing. in the
context of singing, modified, they can sound very different but, still be
produced as easily as before.
