HI !! I question the accuracy of remembering pitches by throat muscle tension. Has anyone (at least any male, since I am a male human) noticed that low notes are easy to sing in the morning ? Later.

Later. This can be flawed when signing in different temperatures, which creates different air densities, thus the same muscullar throat setting will produce different pitches. As an extreme example consider what happens when one breaths helium and then talks or then breaths a very dense gass then talks. Each produces a different tone with the same muscle tension. -Joe Acosta

I have certainly noticed that low notes are easier to sing in the morning when the air is clean, although in places where the air is rather polluted, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Then again, some people (it seems) have trouble singing low notes in the morning... ----- John B. Melby Fujitsu Limited, Machida, Japan melby%yk.fujitsu.co.jp@uunet

Later. Yes, and I've also noticed that higher notes are easier to sing at night, for me anyway. This could be a result of the exercise that the voice normally gets throughout the day, or it could just be different for different people. Some people (nightowls) tend to have an accelerated metabolism at night, so maybe earlybirds could sing higher notes more easily in the morning. Anyone else out there have any observations?

I find that in the evening, when my voice is tired, high notes become much harder to sing. As for mornings, it all depends on what the night before was like, but with a correct warm-up, high notes can become easier. If you don't warm-up then it is likely that the exercise that the voice normally gets throughout the day would make it easier to sing in the evening than it was in the morning._____________________________________________________________________________ /| | Hatfield College / | | _ . _ A.M.Wall@uk.ac.durham University of Durham /--| /| |/ /| |/ | or AWall@uk.co.acorn DH1 3RQ / | (_| | | (_| | | England. _____________________________________________________________________________

Later. The bass section at Stevens Institute always needed a beer or two before singing "Streams in the Desert" in order to pump out a decent low E-flat.
