teching voice

singing teachers...
are very different to one another i have concluded.
my first singing teacher had a blond bob wore French perfume had a German degree and a horrible voice, she said things like "enunciate!" and "chin in a proud position", "suck in your core!"
she wasnt very nice she made me sing songs like adlevise and these are a few of my favorite things....

my next singing teacher was a compleate hippie and had big red hair, a bigish hippie house, and a bigger that big voice that could immitate any song you asked of it. she would say things like, "you need to feel the song", "try for the sweet note" and "you need more light and shade" the thing that i rreally liked about her was that she made singing a very emotion driven and fun experience training my ear rather than my voice with songs that where called things like "fall into song" and "mahmunya". she didnt make me read music and taught herself the piano and guitar, something that i would love to do when i have the time, she would look intently at the air just infront of my face as if she could see the sound and the picture i was trying to paint with it.

i just went to a differnt teacher recently...again very different
