Sorry for the empty post--my computer is giving me a lot of trouble.....
Now for my question: Have any of you had any experience in what my teacher calls "warming" the tone of a voice that is too bright? My mid range is what she wants it to be--we have worked for the past 3 years to make the sound round and free--I have accomplished this by "rounding" the inside of my mouth, placing the sound very forward, vowel pronunciation, even rounding my mouth (sort of a pouty-mouth thing). I am pleased with my mid range and have had a lot of positive reinforcement from people I trust. NOW the task is to take this sound into my upper range. Even though I am a soprano, I have always had trouble with the top--partly because I spent the first 38 years of my life convinced that I was an alto, which wound up causing me untold misery that led to a polyp removal 4 years ago. That gave me a brand new voice which I am still learning how to use.
I had a lesson today--we just worked technique and I get it sometimes and sometimes I don't. I am interested to know if any of you have run into this before and how you dealt with it. I have all kinds of high notes if I sing them like a very little child. Trouble is , I need to sound like a grownup......
Advice?
