How to master in Opera techniques? (2)

 1. Breath and support.

Yoga is a great way to work on your breath and support. It helps you with finding the alignment because singing is best done and best produced when your body is aligned as free and correct as possible. The base, the center, and the top should work together to produce a good sound. The breath should begin with a place of a foundation. It is also important you take a breath for every single phrase you sing. High or low it doesn't matter. What you need to do is to keep the lifting and supported position as long as possible as you are exhaling. Don't collapse even when you are out of the air. Let the belly come out especially when singing high notes. The good strength of the torso, the center of the breath. The stronger that is, the longer your voice will last on. 

2. Coloratura.

Don't aspirate. Don't sing "Ha" when singing fast-moving pitches. It eventually causes a waste of breath. Singing the coloratura in legato. Practice the scale slowly, and try to do them with the larynx. 

3. Vocal size.

If you have a lighter, softer instrument, please don't force it to try to be louder because all you are doing is manufacturing a sound that is not yours. Forcing is losing when it comes to your voice. Also, Sing where you sound you feel the best. Showing up prepared but neutral.
