Re: Projecting

One thing I'm learning, and this took a long time coming, is to play softer. 
Softer but fuller at the same time. From the diaphragm and the belly and the 
whole resonant chamber. I know it's been said before (what hasn't?) but 
standing straight up with your head slightly back and throat open, supporting the 
whole chamber with the diaphragm, volume control seems to become much more 
dynamic. When I remember to do this my projection becomes noticeably more powerful 
acoustically, and with amplified play it just goes through the roof. This 
technique is also the ticket to big expansive tone and gives you subtle control 
over your articulation. I guess I should say that's just my .02 worth and YMMV 
and all those other disclaimers. Anyway, it works for me.
