Three cheers for Alice, who has posted the best short technical advice for singers I've ever seen. Banjo and bagpipe jokes aside, I've been singing for 35 years, and lessons aside, I wish I'd had someone explain it to me that way long ago. 'kingBrill, you might also try to find Freeing the Natural voice by Kristin Linklaater, it's aimed at voice projection and production, it's been good for a lot of folks. Barbara's siren advice is pretty good too. When I get tired of that excercise, I just step on the cat. Same sound. Less effort.
