thanks for your reply. the concept of vowel modulation is not new to me (i am not above distorting the hell out of something just to make it easier). but, i think you've hit the nail on the thumb with the statement above. 'ev'ry valley' is easier for me than 'comfort ye'. it is hard for me to keep the notion of continuing to produce sound in the slower music and i find myself trying to 'hold' the notes rather than to sustain them (even though i know it is stupid to try to hold sound).
perhaps i should stick to the fast stuff for a while as a transition from vocalizing to singing until i'm sure my voice isn't going to blow up just because i'm singing higher than F#4. thanks ian.
mike
