COPERTURA/ COVERING It is s fundamental action and concept, especially for male voices and tenors. It has become in one way of it – in the last decades- a sort of one size fit all with very little nuancing so to show its limits. It is the version of the hyperhyped tenor and vocal coach Luciano Pavarotti and Seth Riggs. They are well deserved hyperhiped, but it had taken away perspective and freshness in separating the stylistic or convenience of the choice from the necessary physiology for it. Stylistic does not contain all the individual possibilities. Convenient does not contain optimal. If you want your style or you go for your optimal then copertura can be acquired and obtained by many more actions – just some in common with Pavarotti/Riggs way.
Three aspects of it to start nuancing the question

Well, she was a pretty different voice: it has taken the usual nine months to really start hearing what it looks like her voice is. It is the timing of the first smooth tissues adaptations, now without rushing have to maintain the excellent practice to maintain the complete development that in literature is commonly said in the 2-3 years and in my practice I find the same.
Now while she is in more satisfying repertoire we are working on all the management on all the tessitura, the higher notes will just grow physiological, have now to control not to push them even if for a competition… longer horizons are more important. . cossumethod is the cross bridging of advanced functional biomechanics finding into the context of voice and their specific relevance to serve voice production and artistic voice, both spontaneous and technical.

Lucia Cossu voiceteacher Italian/French voice teacher for professionals and future pro singers, innovator in vocal technique specialised in training and personalised solutions, voice development and voice preparation for touring/recording, young voices development without forcing the delicate and respectful balance of young talents. She has solved strain/issues and limitations of singers unsolvable by training or medical therapies. Those skills have 15 years of successful career and voice transformations in all styles; hospitals have sent her some desperate cases, all successfully.
Her innovative perspective has been recently presented at the prestigious Pan-European Voice Conference PEVoC14 2022 in one paper and two workshops and three Posters at The Voice Foundation 52nd Annual Symposium May 31- June 4 2023 in Philadelphia, she will be again at both in 2024 with two oral presentations, two workshops and two more Posters. She calls this perspective the (R)Evolution of voice model, or if you prefer cossumethod in the actual practice.
She comes from an international soloist career in classical music that a malpractice during an abdominal surgery has interrupted (the surgeon has been convicted).
Courses and workshops are available online from everywhere and in person can be arranged. .
This is something we can do, often helps tremendously and as singers we have to learn the correct how under a good guide, or at least having someone as me guiding when really the situation is an emergency. She had to perform and did not wanted to strain her voice. So we made two short online sessions just to see if I could help, and often as well said by the great singer and pedagogue Lilli Lehmann we can solve situations we were not sure could be solved by attentive vocalisations. In here I guide her to find the way of bringing some blood back into the tissues and the fascial correct dose of movement to help the tissues to heal dosing well the quantity of effort so not to strain at all but just help the healing. And she could perform pretty well, with no strain and the voice got back plenty and healed in a week for our lesson and no strain from the performances. This is something we do not wait a cold to do, but as we as the putting the instrument in good shape from the morning; it is part of the taking care and maintenance of our instrument. #vocaltechnique #vocalisations #operavoice #operasingers #operatraining #sopranotraining #singingteacher #belcanto #italianbelcanto #belcantolessons #olditalianbelcanto #voiceteacher #voiceteachers #singingteachers #belcantoteacher #operasingerteacher #classicalsingers #oldschoolsinging #oldschoolsingingtechnique
