Thread Name: Criticism at singarounds
Subject: RE: Criticism at singarounds
so here is what has taken place.
I ask jim, for some back up evidence that someone helping another singer with their diction often interferes with accent,Jim replies with a personal attack saying that I am not fit to teach singing only fit to to encourage, then he claims he doesnt want to discuss the merits of my singing.
make up your mind jim , you have just criticised my merits, then you say you dont want to.
   then we have some anonymous troll the rev bayes, who come in with this(B) Dick, you're in no position to tell anyone to learn how to sing. I've heard you sing, and while you're not the worst there's no way you should be earning a living as a professional.
another personal attack,please note I HAVE NEVER TOLD ANYONE HOW THEY SHOULD SING, I said that good diction can be taught without losing accent., i explained how I thought this could be done, I will reiterate,
a singer meets with someone whose opinion they respect.the other person listens and points out any words that are not clear.
it is not necessary in my opinion to be a professional singing coach, all that is needed is familarity with the music and careful listening, how is poor diction rectified, it is rectified by listening until there is clarity.
