How does one develop this bobbing larynx? In the past teachers have tried to
make me sing with a depressed larynx, however I have always found that it
gave my voice a darker covered sound. Now I just let it do what it wants to
do, and the sound is more brighter, and has more bite. Anyway, what I'm
trying to get at is how do you get your larynx so relaxed that it bobs up and
down along with your trills. I have observed the larynx of some of my past
teachers, and they all had the free bobbing larynx ((when trilling)) that Ian
talks about. I have never been able to develop this freedom in the larynx.
I suspect that trill technique I have embedded in my brain is fake. My larynx
is not tight or anything, it just remains more non existent to me. I would
love to learn to do this, because all of the good trillers I have observed do
this.
Any suggestions Vocalisters?
