I'd like to be better at singing, but I need some help. I have taken chorus since fifth grade, and I'm now in eleventh. I've had five different school chorus teachers, and been in eight different choruses but it seemed like they never agreed on anything. So now I'm confused and fed up and need help.
My teachers always tell me that the sound isn't 'supported'. I can hear it too when I listen to recordings. What exactly does this mean and how can I fix it?
One teacher said that when you sing using your diaphram(sp?) your stomach should push out. Another teacher who hates that teacher said that your stomach should go in. Which should it be, and how do I get used to using my diaphram?
I lost my verbrato after all that time. How do I get it back? Every time I try it sounds like my voice is shaking because I'm scared.
I have good intonation though, and I don't do a lot of 'stylizing'(is that a word?). I now how to read sheet music.
Any advice? Any books I should get?
