Dear Ed et al,
I am fairly certain that Everett Anderson, my teacher in graduate
school USF Tampa, studied with William Vennard. He used the yawn-sigh
in nearly every lesson he gave to both men and women. He also used a
sob-like descending siren that was quite effective.
***************************************************
Ed: This technique is demonstrated by Vennard in a collection of lps
with a booklet of text that was published by Carl Fischer
entitled "Developing Voices".
***************************************************
It would be a simple matter for Fischer to burn a CD and re-print the
book. If they did, I'd buy it. I think I'm going to e-mail them and
ask. Hey, it couldn't hurt. I'm also looking for video/DVD/CD/Audio
tape, what-have-you of the workshops of Richard Miller. Anybody "out
there" who knows how I can get these, please let me know. I figure
it's good to learn from the "best in class" and use what we can from
them.
Regards,
Les
