Abdominal Muscles Key To Superior Singing say Researchers
Two researchers presented an eight year study at the AAOO meeting in Las Vegas arguing that using the abdominal muscles enhances voice quality. Dr Irving Blatt and Cordelita Astraquillo of LSU say the body, not just the larynx, drives vocal power and urge teachers to train diaphragmatic support for better singing. They cite opera stars Joan Sutherland and Beverly Sills as examples of abdominal engagement in singing. They contend most people can sing if not tone deaf.
