Mastery of voice
If we hold on to parts of its definition such as the concept of "mastery" or " regulation ", for example, we can talk about voice control , the central issue for any professional singer who wishes to make good use of his instrument. Singing is a quite particular art, in that it is built on something that almost all human beings use daily but can achieve levels of vocal control that only a few can dream of.
To achieve voice control that keeps the vocal cords in a good state of health and takes them to their limits of versatility and skill, frequent training is necessary that only begins, since it should never end. Breathing is one of the fundamental aspects of singing: in this area, you must take in a moderate amount of air, which is needed for each phrase, and control its expulsion with a specific muscular technique . We must also aim for a tuning close to perfection, for which breathing is combined with the correct projection and amplification of the voice, taking advantage of the bony cavities of the skull.
Control and ambition
Human beings are closely related to the concept of control in almost all aspects of their lives: there is no more ambitious species on this planet that seeks to reverse diseases, conquer other planets, enslave other species and even travel on the planet. time.
Our thirst for power is dangerous and highly destructive when it leads us to harm other species, and unfortunately we do it daily with most of our industrial activities , where control of the world coexists with that of our own mechanisms.
