Thread Name: the importance of diction when singing
Subject: RE: the importance of diction when singing
I'm reminded of a tv program I saw years ago. A woman was teaching children how to sing and she was using "Blowin' in the Vind" as a vehicle to highlight certain points. The teacher was most insistent that the child pronouce the word "blowing" with a distinct "ing" sound at the end. Now this is interesting because the correct title of the song contains the word "blowin'"
