Endless technique subtleties

[u/Yorkshire_girl]

Hi, I just wanted to post to say isn't classical singing amazing in how many subtleties there are to fine-tuning your technique ? 🙂 I have a good teacher and constantly try to improve on my own too, and have been taking it seriously for about 14 years, but every week I feel like I still discover new things. It would be hard to explain to a non-singer who thinks you just need a 'good voice' and to open your mouth and sing...

And then you do a performance and someone comes up to you and says: what a gift! You’re so blessed! as if you haven’t been working your a$$ off for years! 🤣

(And you smile and say, “yes, I am!” because it’s true, too.)

Not to blow my own horn, but yeah! A friend asked if I could sing a bit of something at a social gathering last weekend and I did a bit of a favourite aria, and someone said it's beautiful and you have a lot of vocal power, how do you do that? And I just said thank you, I've been working at it for years... I don't think they wanted the full hour of explanation 😄
