Singing at the International Level!

I have, after 36 years of teaching voice internationally, decided to write a book on The Opera Singers Bible to Great Technique to singing consistently with vitality through the twilight years of life.
I'll be writing some exerpts here on my blog to get the ball rolling for all those interested in allowing his or her voice to achieve his or her natural gifted sound.

Probably the most important aspect of being able to sing consistently creating the reputation of never having to cancel is knowing how to use great support.  Using the intestinal track as grunting support and allowing the target of that support to spearhead the bottom of the ribcage (sternum), with the upper torso relaxed and totally available to this support - the result will be a collapse of the upper back and chest allowing the complete vocal mechanism to hook up for singing with freedom.  Having energy never directly reaching the voice is the redeeming result of this hookup of support.  The main object is to not work the larynx and vocal mechanism but to let this whole area completely relax.  For the control freaks who must micro-manage their voices and who cannot keep their hands off the vocal mechanism, this is a foolish errand!  For the singer who is totally in touch with his or her body who can abandon the upper body,  this is the beginning of genius singing!

I'll be elaborating on each blog every month. 
I will respond and elaborate with all those who write in with good questions & considerate thoughts.
