Yup, except that I probably wouldn't tell someone to never sing that
way again. (Or maybe I would.) Maybe sometime, in some situation, it
would be appropriate to sing that way. I would hope that my student,
after trying to sound as baritonial as possible, would be clearer
about his options and make an intelligent choice.
I hope that you'll try the experiment I suggested in my last post
(singing a lot of low material on your own). I suspect that it would
lead you to some interesting discoveries.
