Thread Name: Criticism at singarounds
Subject: RE: Criticism at singarounds
"there is nothing off the wall about this.
Your insulting and arrogant behaviour is the off-the wall behaviour i'm referring to.
You son't strike as being qualified to teach anything
Your lack of people skills - as displayed here and elsewhere, would more likely persuade them to go off and take up macrame rather than work at being a singer.
If you repeated "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING" the way you have here you'd spend most of your lesson time picking your teeth up off the floor.
I've given you examples of exercises for people to work on their own pronunciation rather than someone trying to "teach" it.
Your postings are partly repetition of what I have already said - which you have either taken as your own in order to cobble some sort of a half-arsed face-saving escape clause, or you simply haven't read what I've written.
People are quite capable of making their own judgements - if they need help they are better advised to obtain a consensus of views rather than run the risk of having personal prejudices of an individual imposed on their singing.
Let people make their own judgement rather than allow a "teacher" to impose his/hers.
I wouldn't take it upon myself to presume to "tutor" anybody
I wouldn't presume to "teach" anybody anybody anything - neither would MacColl when he set up the Critics Group; what little I've heard of your singing doesn't show an outstanding ability on your part to teach anybody anything - rather, you might give them encouragement, no more.
