Bel Canto Voice

The new squeezed voice

This is the newest voice work results. I think this is the closest to what Pavarotti calls the squeezed and lifted voice. I also think this may be the result of all my work so far. There is far too much to discuss about this voice. If anyone is interested please get in touch. Strictly voluntary. Again, keep in mind I am not a singer, and know little of musicianship. I am really only interested in the discovery of the true Bel Canto technique.

Finding it again after losing it

I sing many different ways none of which seem right. At 1 hour and 10 minutes I decide to pause the recording. I return and I now have the Bel Canto voice. It is everything Pavarotti talks about. It is a voice under total control at all time. Yet it is free. I do not know if I will have it again tomorrow, but I only know I will never sing any other way but this way.

Developing my technique one step at a time

Hopefully I am now on the road to a technique that can be found daily. Here I demonstrate how I go one small step at a time to find the Beautiful voice once again. This is the best voice I have ever had and I am certain I cannot improve on it any more. I do not care what anyone else feels about it, it is the one I love the most. Here I explain why.

Finally realising it is the compression

I think I am finally realising that the key to the floating voice and the great voice was always compression. Not till now, am  I able to replicate this on a daily basis. At least I hope so and think I can. We shall see. But if I am right this is the finally the last piece in this incredibly large puzzle that has taken so very much of my life.

What is the difference between these two headtones?

Hopefully someone can tell me what is the difference.

chest/head blend or lifted/mask?

I am unable to tell what I am doing with this singing (in kitchen washing dishes) I have never sung like this before. It is wonderful as it feels like it is closest to my normal voice and old chest voice. But I think there is more going on and I do not understand what it is. Notice when I go up I seem to change the voice. Is that the lift/mask voice? Or is this just a chest/head blend? Why has this voice never appeared before? 

The final head chest voice and end of my study

This is the final voice. It has taken me such a long time to realise this is the best I can do. I use to stumble on this voice, then lose it for long periods. Now I know what it is and can find it fairly easily every day. I will miss the great voice but this does have more flexibility and is easier to find. Please don't judge by musicianship but only by vocal technique as I am not a musician.

Lifted in mask and not lifting

Trying to understand more about this lifting in the mask. I am beginning to suspect it is all about the compression, or the deep breathing and sense that the air stays in and comes out very very slowly.

chest-head blend without lift

New work based on beautiful voice 2018 only now I can do this with or without lift into the mask. First part is singing close and second part is at a distance.

singing in kitchen

Sometimes I am sure this is the right finishing way to sing. Other times I am not so sure. Why am I constantly clearing my throat?? Compare this to my beautiful voice sample nov 27. In that one I hear the consonants clearly, the voice is lighter, softer, but I think more natural. I will start tomorrow going back to basics.
