An Example of a Focused Singing



So here is a great example. Jussi Bjorling. Small and gentle voice. There's really no edge to his voice, but it is so focused and true. He's always singing on the voice that he has. Not trying to manipulate, not trying to make it bigger than what it is. But just singing. His breath is focused and the air pressure that he gives on each note is even. His dynamics are never forced, but are always sung with conviction. You can tell as he sings that he has already decided what he plans to do for his phrases.

Very lovely. That's what makes a great artist. Not because he tries to be great. Not because he wants to be the star. But because he is true and real to the music, his voice, and himself.
