Hi, Mirko here.
My teacher is training me in the german operatic method. This means that I avoid the 'facial' resonance that I often hear people talk about, and sing in the top of the head instead. He's always on to me about my overly nasal tone (which i can't even hear!). It's a very full dramatic way of singing- and it feels great when I get it right. He also says that the voice lasts much longer in this way. I end up sounding like a baritone in my chest range- but this is probably my real sound emerging. Does anybody know any other things about the german school. My teacher used to perform in touring opera companies all over europe, and says the german technique is really good to learn. It seems quite similar to the Italian sound actually. What do you think?
