COPERTURA/ Covering of the sounds

on By

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

She is a singer who entered my study program in may 2014 with nodules, a pre-contact, an emathoma and a whiplash injury on the vocal folds. She had several years of voice lessons without  gaining enough extension or intonation or the personal style she desired for a proficuous career. All the attempts to have a good technique (even with good and experienced teachers) were a failure, gaining something at the depens of other things and her vocal folds getting worse. This were her vocal folds  when she started the program.X. Y. vocal folds 07:05:2014

 

I found in her something in the muscular chains (that are the center of my method) without the sufficient elasticity and the proper work to give freedom and movement to tongue and larynx. The first weeks I used the physical exercises I have invented to start solving that muscular problem. As the connection was possible and more correct I worked on changing habits in authomatic gesture, imagined gesture and the feedbacks with vocalises on two octaves and songs out of her repertoire useful for my purposes. Those are her vocal folds after two months, quiet a huge difference.X. Y. vocal folds 24:07:2014
