@grok how factual is this list? Are there studies to back any of this up?

It’s perhaps not a bad idea to cultivate the mindset that attention to good technique is a way of showing gratitude for having a working and able body; before attention to good technique become the necessary response of correcting for a damaged one.

Too often people attribute to the palate sounds and effects more appropriately attributed to the behavior of the tongue. And instead of seeking to infinitely stretch the palate, one ought better to train the tongue remain in its proper home: the mouth.

I find it interesting that people talk more frequently about the differences in breath support across the “big-voice”/“small-voice” divide than they do between voice types like a mezzo-soprano and a baritone.
This seems like a category error to me.

Technique will make its absence felt the older you get.
You can get away with a lot when you’re young. And coming back from a lack gets harder the older you get.

Realized recently that this month marks my 20th year teaching voice(!!)
Many thanks to those wonderful Miami folks who were my first, and many thanks to those in the years since. It’s been a pleasure, and I hope I have been a help to you.
Happy Singing!

I’m not really the guy, if what you want from voice lessons is something like structured karaoke.
I don’t really believe in voice lessons without all the bother of becoming at least a little something of a musician.

There is another reason not to get overanxious during auditions and judging yourself by whether you got the gig; if you focus on simply giving a good accounting of yourself and abilities, you still might not get it - but they may remember you for another.

At the start of of phrases, in an effort to control tone, many people will begin their phrase like the wrist/arm movement of a whip, send out the sound with energy, then pulling it back for control; when what they really need is to just throw it like a ball, and follow through.

I tell my students all the time: “We aren’t in the business of best, we are in the business of better.”
Just move the needle, even if only a little bit.

[JenksVoiceStudio @JenksVoice]

To all those people who say “that which came before was best”- I propose that any person of the late Victorian era would have been amazed, and rightly so, at the singing of Jeanine deBique.

Some aspiring classical singers could learn a bit about legato by listening to Brandon Flowers from The Killers.

The more I learn about singing, the better I understand speech. And the more I understand speech, the better singer I become.

[JenksVoiceStudio @JenksVoice]

So much of learning to sing is about bringing a phrase, and phrases -no matter the pace, the number of pitches, or the intervals- within the compass of a steady, smooth ebb & flow pattern of inhalation and exhalation.

Practice, repeat, and make mistakes!

Be patient, trust the process… focus on doing the work. The outcome will handle itself. You can’t control it. Breathe darlings…🧡 thank you Gerald Johann Lindner for this gorgeous photo.
