<< Some have asked me to help them see if they can work towards feeling
comfortable in the section again and I'd like to try. I know I've seen some
studies on the aging voice somewhere in my web research and I'll dig those

know there are physical changes - ossification and the like, but I don't
believe the physical changes cause the wobble - I've known more than my
share of 30-something wobblers! It makes sense to me that a certain amount
of body bracing becomes more habitual as we get older and maybe some of us
get less in tune with our bodies and how to relax that tension to breathe
freely and efficiently. >>
The last two issues of the NATS Journal have featured articles by Robert T.
Sataloff re Vocal Aging and Its Medical Implications: What Singing Teachers
Should Know. Haven't had time to read them yet - I need a vacation somewhere
warm where I can sit on a beach and read all the stuff I haven't time to read
at home - but I would point you in that direction!!
