And in the process, your lower abs come in, right? Obviously, if you are exhaling at all, something must come in (laws of physics). For me (in-and-up), it is the lower abs. Not a pulling in, but a firm sensation of support in the lower belly as it draws in.
And to sing, say, Violetta's sudden cry of "Ah" on an A5 without tensing the larynx, the motion would necessarily be quite firm, right? My impression of SLS is that it doesn't use enough compression, enough muscular firmness, to take the pressure off of the throat enough to be able to produce the type of tone needed for opera... but perhaps I was mistaken.
I begin to think I see eye-to-eye with these SLSers, and Lloyd with his appogio technique.
