Hard to tell what kind of talk is mostly superstition and what's real. The language isn't precise.

There's other stuff concerning how "big" the sound is, which is a matter, not of volume so much as "purity." How much of the air flowing between the lips and into the horn is resonating and how much is just white-noise dead air. This is VERY important and takes a long to get a handle on.Bill Benzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360044945265178991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535481649727720492.post-90424570225423577142013-11-05T21:11:01.991-05:002013-11-05T21:11:01.991-05:00But I think it is in the mix of these calculations...But I think it is in the mix of these calculations and careful control over the rhythm and pace which is in the page that makes words take on the form and sense they need to make a performance whole.<br /><br />Its not a heavy emotive electric thought firing and resonating out of mind, the rhythm patterns are often enough to convey emotive sense on their own, you can detach from the emotion, Jebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535481649727720492.post-37403830493566256612013-11-05T18:28:37.557-05:002013-11-05T18:28:37.557-05:00Thanks

For speaking you would want to keep it as open as possible as its resonance through bone structure of skull you aim for. <br /><br />Probable/ maybe a false memory on my part, I played the trumpet until I was 12, Jebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535481649727720492.post-19295299120974566672013-11-05T07:44:51.553-05:002013-11-05T07:44:51.553-05:00I breathe from the diaphragm.

He'd spent his career with the Philadelphia orchestra and then retired to Baltimore where he taught at the Peabody conservatory. I studied with him there for a semester.<br /><br />In my first lesson he had me place my hands on his abdomen and in the small of his back while he breathed. Then he placed a large belt Bill Benzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360044945265178991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535481649727720492.post-63756513514546746952013-11-04T17:58:28.658-05:002013-11-04T17:58:28.658-05:00Bill out of curiosity, do you use the same techniq...Bill out of curiosity, do you use the same technique with breathing as you do in singing or acting with projection? i.e lungs are kept inflated most of the time with air (reserve supply deployed when needed) and you take snatch breathes use the diaphragm for the most part. <br /><br />One other question. Do you use you're body (or different parts of it to resonate, amplify, or change qualityJebnoreply@blogger.com
