I'm trying to sing the way granny suggested. And I've just about had it with that way. Let Pavarotti have perfect technique. Dammitall.

i'm still not sure about this whole thing. i mean do you have to hold your adams apple down? i just stick my index finger there so it can move a little but not shoot up. is this ok cuz i can sing pretty normally. (and i can't hit high notes in the first place so i dont have to worry about that)

I don't really care how I sing, I just belt out what I'm singing. Thats what counts
