As we all know, "The King of the High C's" died recently and I'm planning on doing a podcast episode which is somewhat related to him. One of the reasons I recently asked people on this list about visualization techniques is that I was planning on focusing on the visualization techniques that singers are often given by their teachers to help them relax and focus while singing.
I was talking about this with a friend and he said that what always perplexed him about singers is that they seem to "disembody" their voices by referring to their voice as "the voice" or "the gift". Why is that? He asked. Frankly, I don't know. It's an interesting observation though. Any thoughts on this? I don't know if there's an interesting psychological answer or perspective on the tendency for singers to do this, but before dismissing it I thought I'd ask this list. I wonder if other talented people do this as well. Do baseball pitchers refer to their pitching arm as "The Arm". Any thoughts? If so, why would this be?
