Re: A Bass Needing Some Range Advice
Record anything, mainly something you're having trouble with. We can use anything, and go from there.
Bass singers are really great to listen to personally. I find that a bass who sings at or about C4 is just BAM to hear. It's just awesome for me.
I would like to extend MY modification to David's list. #1: You don't NEED a program at all. They are very helpful, and I loved using SS to gain my footstool. Don't think it's a requirement. You should find something that can give you "exercises" and some kind of guidance. A program is good, but a teacher is better. To modify #3, you don't NEED to look for a good SLS teacher. What you NEED is a GOOD TEACHER. I know, this is an SLS board, and I'm one of the few who don't use it. BUT, a good teacher is just that. No matter the technique they use, a good teacher will be able to get the idea across to you, so that you can understand and use it. In the end, all technique is to teach you how to balance and coordinate. So the tech doesn't matter.
