Style Conscious

Back to changing style. I recently wrote a piece for The Music Teacher magazine called Style Conscious (it's on the Vocal Process website at the moment). It contains several tips for singers wanting to move into a new genre. I was working with a tenor last week who wanted to sing more show stuff. As an operatic singer R. has a bright, full lyric sound, and is used to singing Cavaradossi or Rodolfo (or even Verdi's Otello). However, he's a bit of a stranger to Musical Theatre, so it was an interesting session getting him to sing "Love Changes Everything" from Aspects of Love.
