It was great to be able to see David again so soon. I had listened to the CD of our first lesson, and transcribed all the vocalizes. I had been practicing the new exercises, and while they felt a bit strange to me on my own, when I was with David, miraculously, they felt good. This reminded me of what it felt like to work with George McKinley. When ever I was there with him, it was like magic, and my voice felt wonderful. This week, David gave me a whole different set of exercises, which I then listened to and transcribed when I got home. He talks a lot about physiology, and technical issues with the larynx, and pharynx and specific muscles etc. I have never been taught this way, or taught this way myself, yet it is all very familiar “voice teacher” stuff. Sure, why not. This definitely seems like a good direction to be going in now. I went right over to Lenore’s apartment again and rehearsed for our concert on Sunday. It felt easy and good!
