You know it's an occupational hazard, when you teach voice you end up thinking of ways you could fix other people's vocal faults. People who would never ask your advice, ever. There's a nice lady on a CD upstairs who sings lullabies to my girls every night. Her voice isn't bad, but man, I wish I could help her with her passaggio issues. If she'd just lift that soft palate a tiny bit, she'd have so much nicer high notes. Her vowels are not quite right either. But hey, she sings to the girls every night, and they like her. And since I really don't feel like singing "Wee Willy Winky" to them myself, I'll just let her take it away, night after night, and I'll keep my mouth shut.
But if she calls, I totally have some exercises that would help her.
I'd let you critique me anytime, Rachel, but I doubt I'll be making a cd anytime soon, even one with Wee Willy Winky on it. :)
