Page "Singing" Paragraph 49

An important goal of vocal development is to learn to sing to the natural limits of one's vocal range without any obvious or distracting changes of quality or technique.

Vocal pedagogists teach that a singer can only achieve this goal when all of the physical processes involved in singing ( such as laryngeal action, breath support, resonance adjustment, and articulatory movement ) are effectively working together.

Most vocal pedagogists believe in coordinating these processes by ( 1 ) establishing good vocal habits in the most comfortable tessitura of the voice, and then ( 2 ) slowly expanding the range.
