Michele? <BR/><BR/>I actually love singing in Italian... ;) Discomfort with the language isn't interfering because I'm not uncomfortable. I practice vocalises all the time, in "no" language - mainly different vowel sounds in various patterns, ranges and speeds.

Practice in English, even if it's just tone and range practice. You are correct in that you let the little bits you are uneasy with hamper your starts into the next. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, so you're better than I, but opening your mouth and standing straighter will help to get a better range in the higher octaves.

Really. HONEST! Even though there's a lot of work to be done, it's great to see how passionate you are. <BR/>And you know, in what I would call "your appropriate range" you have a wonderful voice. <BR/>It's brave of you to post that, and I think you should be proud of what you've gotten down so far.<BR/>Keep us updated with the progress!<BR/><BR/>-JimmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
