Hello to Everybody!!

Thank god for Karen and Isabel. I really was beguining to miss Vocalist.

Anyway, here's my dilemma:
I am interested in finding out some of the ways singers, tenors in
particular are able to reach high notes, particularly for dramatic or lyric
tessitura, such as in Tosca, or Manon, any other time when the Tenor has to
hit high notes in a manner that powerful, clear and beautiful. I am also
wondering if it's different for other voices, do sopranos do it differently
? or mezzos ? or baritones? I realize as a tenor who still hasn't completed
perfecting and stabilizing my vocal technique, this issue is always in my
mind as well as the minds of a lot of tenors that I know, whether they are
beguiners or advanced singers. I realize that for some people hitting the
high notes dramatically is a piece of cake and for others (like me) hitting
them correctly takes a lot of hard work.

Any ideas?

thank you,

Rick
