I think you do opposite tone in this video, like maestro Daniel sad here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u-VYUyflD24.htmlsi=s4bPGyLe6vOIcjuh and squeeze your vocal cords too much most of the time. So I want to listen your normal natural voice on high notes, not operatic
Hmmm, so yes, you're probably right lol. It's important to understand that making depth and squeeze are not the same thing but you have to find the depth in the right way and in this video he's almost doing a mini messa di voce and kind of sliding into the bite on the sound. But yeah I've definitely had to work hard on getting the sound - whether dark and operatic or poppier - to come out with the voice's natural intensity rather than directly pressing. The thing, I had some lessons with Daniel after he made this video and he changed his teaching a bit: he quotes Pavarotti for instance saying "you really have to make the voice more squeezed". And I know what he means and I don't think he meant that, you know, he was just going back on what he says in this video. Rather I think it's more that when singing out and strong there IS a lot of pressure but that you want to kind of ride it with a great sense of conviction to avoid the voice falling back into the throat, as opposed to mechanically ramming the folds together.
