Subject:  Classical/non-classical singing


Very well thought out, mike. I couldn't agree more. To compare apples
and oranges is a fruitless (!) endeavor. Many endless discussions on this
subject have been posted here. The technique involved for both types of
singing is what intrinsically makes the sound. I would never post about
non-classical singing, because I don't know a thing about it!
