Subject:  German method vs other schools


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?

Mirko
