This just in: I have a light lyric soprano voice. Along the lines of what Kathleen Battle might have sounded like as a beginner.
Since last week I have been practicing yawn space using my best Alexander Technique to “not do” that thing with my throat when I sing, as well as moving my voice from bright to dark. I found that Amazing Grace using that “boo voice” did wonders to keep things dark.
The song for this week was Edelweiss, one I have always loved, and, well, I don’t know what to say. I sounded like a whole different person this week.
I’m still not sure of what use a light lyric soprano voice is, but at least I can sing in the shower without my voice cracking now.
