100x100/10: Space-feel and kinaesthetic overrule

Chiaroscuro resonance core sound of premium classical singing.

Condition of vocal tract (from larynx to lips) prime cause of chiaroscuro resonance.

Resonant vocal tract has distinct, consistent kinaesthetic identity.

Identity can be taught, understood and known.

Identity discovered by observation, noticing, of (real) kinaesthetic feedback from musculature.

When singing, inhabit identity to overrule inappropriate intentions.

Try inhabiting vocal tract kinaesthetic identity during:

  • Breath.

  • Onset.

  • Articulation (vowels/consonants).

All can be transformed, re-coordinated, when refusing to lose identity.

Kinaesthetic teaching falls short if:

  • Action (tension) replaces kinaesthesia.

  • Wrong kinaesthetic pursued.

  • Kinaesthetic undervalued.

If identity mastered and maintained, kinaesthetic overrule can transform singing.
