[Yet another thread] Opera

[darksoul]

Hello,
Was curious to as to what exercises i should do to get an operatic like voice (power and range)? What breathing exercises,etc.

I know there is Merkaba's thread, but i was wondering if maybe there is a small difference in what you are supposed to do. Alot of pop/rb/blues singers have powerful voices (groban, carey, aguilera,etc), but yet they dont have "operatic powerful" voices. I'm sure they voice train properly too. So what makes this difference...and how can i acquire it?
When i say opera i mean pavarotti, lanza, del monaco,etc...not popera.

Thanks again :chug: :p

The technique of singing opera isn't different from good, basic vocal technique, but there are tricks to getting a more classical sound - which primarily have to do with "placing" your voice. This is very difficult to explain in writing (although I do talk about it in Singing Secrets: http://voicestudio.kristinaseleshanko.com/SingingSecrets.htm and if you're really serious about getting this sound you're best off training with a teacher who specializes in opera.
