Subject:  Re: [vocalist] Exercises for blending registers...

Thanks, i'll have a try. Unfortunately my teacher, though excellent
and helping me a lot, is not fond of chest register (convinced it
creates a hole in the middle of the voice and wears the voice out
quicker) and tells me to keep in head register. As I also like
musical theatre and singing along with Ella Fitzgerald, I don't want
to deny what I consider to be a legitimate part of my voice.
Surely one can learn to use chest without damage ?
Has anyone any thoughts on this ? Surely mezzos and contraltos need
to blend all the time if their breaks are above those of a soprano
(according to Miller - i must say this surprised me, i always thought
their lower break would be below the soprano break)
