A great many singers suffer from the defect called "throatiness" of the emission that is to say, they attack or start the note in the throat. Sooner or later this attack will ruin the most beautiful voice. As I have said before, the attack of the note must come from the apoggio, or breath prop.
NECK Should be clean and muscular, without throatiness, of fair length, and gradually widening to the shoulders. SHOULDERS AND CHEST The Shoulders should be long and sloping, well laid back, fine at the points, and clearly cut at the withers. The Chest deep and not broad. BACK AND LOIN The Back should be short, straight, and strong, with no appearance of slackness.
So long as it is present in the slightest degree it affects the tone quality. Most students think they are through with it long before they are. This interference, which is referred to as tension, rigidity, throatiness, etc., is in the nature of resistance to the free emission of tone.
Ede likes, I shall be only too happy to do some singing with her; and, between you and me, I think that in a few lessons I could get rid of that throatiness, and show her how to get a note or two from the chest. 'I'm sure you could, my boy; and I shall be delighted with you if you will. Of course we must consider it as a matter of business.
The common defects of nasality, throatiness, and harshness, are due to wrong and careless use of the speaking-instrument. In the training of the public speaker the first step is to bring the breathing apparatus under proper control.
Deep breathing, headnotes clear as a bell and effortless, as only three or four singers in Europe can produce them, without the slightest sense of strain or throatiness such are the songs of our most gifted denizens of the woods. What a wondrous amount of life is visible on an evening such as this!
