What We Will Cover:
We will look at the operatic tone quality in this short session.
These highly trained operatic singers are using tried and tested techniques.
We get to learn a little from their skills today!
Vocal Tones
As we said earlier in this mini course there are a lot of vocal tones ‘out there’ and available for you to explore and maybe adopt for your vocal adventures.
Sing Through
Make some room now ? to sing through ‘Amazing Grace’ with whatever you think an ‘operatic’ style is.
Have fun with this tone!
Pavarotti Or Operatic Tone
Benefits:
It is highly unlikely that you will apply this tone in such OTT ways that I demonstrate, but there are benefits of this open throat, open chest technique:
- Usually the sound produced is warmer, ‘bigger’ deeper.
- Use it when you want to add drama, for example the last verse of a song or a climactic moment in a line.
- Link this to what you learned in the earlier ‘Diction’ session to make your performances more dynamic.
I use this ‘Operatic’ tone in a lot at the workshops that I do.
Time and time again I watch as this ‘Pavarotti’ tone helps singers to work through their inhibitions and vocal ‘shyness’
Enjoy experimenting. Bring the drama!
