Mr Dmitry i have question, some great singers like Mdm, Gigli, Correli, Bonnisolli etc, sang with there heads op high, what is the reason? I am not a professional singer.
Why do you round your lips at that point in your voice so high up in the i and u? They should be more relaxed as they are not needed much past middle c in the tenor voice.
I don't believe in rules about the form of the lips in singing (from Kraus who sang everything on a horizontal "ie" till Giacomini who sang everything on a vertical "ou". Both are correct cause it worked for them). Its very individual, the way the resonans works for each person (I talk about it in my video about the "passaggio"). The only really universal rules for opera singing are correct respiration (that activates the diaphragm amd all the system), open throat (middle-low larynx position) and maximal freedom of the muscles (but not total freedom cause they DO work to produce the sound). Everything else is very individual, thats why people need years of training with a good teacher - to "find out" and build and instrument that works for them and uses their natural abilities the best.
@@TenorDmitry It is not a rule - the lips are only relevant on lower pitches. They should be completely relaxed on high notes. Your lip rounding doesn't help your singing.
@@petertyrrell3391 If we are talking about "completely relaxed" lips on high notes - are you talking from a personal experience? Would be great to see a demonstration (even simply with the phone video). Thanks.
@@TenorDmitry I am not talking especially from personal experience but from good schooling. On higher notes the lips should be in the "ah" position for most singers most of the time. Gigli could sing a perfect "i" on a high note, but his mouth would be completely open. Rounding the lips may well bring the voice "forward", but this is not right for high notes, as no high notes should give a "forward" sensation.
Peter Tyrrell I do know that tenors of old Like enrico caruso...micheal tremble... and many others say that the only way to truly open the throat is to almost smile...singing in the ah position compressing the larynx and sends the sound back. Sining with a lift in the corners of the mouth opens the throat and actually takes off unnecessary weight and as someone who sings heldentenor rep and Italian dramatic rep it helps me greatly singing this way
Great content. Thank you ❤
