Wow so many singers who are interested in costuming. I have to admit
I have only done a small amount of singing and only once in a circa
1800 corset. It did feel strange but those of you with more
experience would suggest that more practice in it would probably
help..
[big snip about opera specifics]
While I am not an opera singer, I have done quite a bit of singing in
full Elizabethan court dress over the past 20 years; I have no
trouble projecting a considerable distance out of doors (and making
echoes indoors). One thing the corseting does is keep your posture
upright, which makes it easier to support your breathing for
singing. This, of course, assumes that your corset is properly
fitted and worn correctly (snug enough for support and not so tight
that breathing is difficult).
