The Tongue

I'd like to address and clear up any misinformation surrounding this topic. There's a lot of talk about manipulating the tongue to achieve a specific vocal color. However, it's crucial to remember that the focus should be on the voice's natural freedom and character, not artificially creating a particular color.

One of the most common issues in contemporary vocal technique is that singers with naturally lighter voices attempt to imitate the darker color of more dramatic singers. This results in an artificial vocal color that lacks identity and resonance, ultimately leading to less volume.

In the intricate realm of vocal technique, the positioning of the tongue often doesn't receive the attention it deserves.

This principle is a key tenet of Maestro Arturo Melocchi's teachings, who stressed the significance of keeping the tongue forward and relaxed during singing. This seemingly simple advice has profound implications on the quality and resonance of the voice.

When the tongue is retracted, it obstructs the vocal tract, hindering the natural passage from the chest to the 'mask' resonances. This can limit the voice's projection and resonance. Conversely, maintaining the tongue forward ensures an open pathway for sound projection, fostering a more resonant and powerful voice.

People, keep it real
