Dear List,
Please forgive my harping on this subject, but I have one more stupid
larynx question.
The way I understand it, when you inhale the larynx drops. Then, ideally it
should stay in that position through the entire phrase being sung. Is this
right? Does it get to move up even a little bit? If not, then how does it
manage to drop again with the next inhalation?
If I really concentrate on relaxing my throat, feel my support very low in my
body, and visualize lengthening my neck, my larynx will not kick up like it
wants to, however, it does move up a little bit at the onset of tone. I do
this on a 5 note descending scale in my mid-range. As I descend, it does
lower with the scale, but none of this movement is huge. If the larynx is
freely suspended in the throat, then it seems to me that some movement would
be inevitable. Am I on the right track here?
I am not really all that wrapped around the axle about this, but I am
curious and want to know just what is what.
