Hello all:
I'm very frustrated. I FINALLY found, through doing sirens, a slender, legato emission of air on tuesday. I used the smallest amount of breath and made the smoothest, easiest sound and made sure it was on the breath. It was a breakthough! I could all of a sudden easily sing to a b natural(I am a heavy mezzo and had been using way too much air pressure and jaw tension to try to get up to high notes) I was so excited that I was able to sing for 2 1/2 hours and was not the least bit hoarse afterward.
Yesterday, however, when I tried to do the same thing, my voice did not cooperate as much. I really wonder if it was due to the fact that I had eaten only a little more than an hour before going to bed the night before. I have had issues with reflux before, but never until now did I start to think that it could be the reason why somedays, singing feels easy and others, it becomes such an effort and as a result of trying to make the sound come out, all my bad jaw tension creeps back.
*SIGH* I would welcome input or insight from anyone on the board.....This is so frustrating :(
Christin
