And to continue... yes, of course, try to imitate fine singers! Who better to use as voice models, than Wunderlich, Bjoerling, Fischer-Dieskau, and Ameling. as Mr. Still does. He said "keep the throat slack". Since, I felt he was really on the right track with this approach, I even took a semester of voice, even though it wasn't a requirement. I even find Doris Day's voice to be of reference quality! If I could produce a sound on the oboe like hers ' (effortless beauty!), I'd be happy as a clam.
BTW, I was once a football player who did took ballet, just like Jon Arnett of the Bears and Rams. (it took me 5 minutes to remember his last name! remembered his first, though, including the proper spelling!). I just love to tell people, that once, upon a time, I was a 100 lb. bumblebee! Well, as cantata #82 says, Es ist genug, or something like that. Regards.
