From high to low?

Postby Silver Moon on Sat May 13, 2006 12:08 am

I have read in a few places that the reason behind Mr. Sylvian's switch to a lower voice was a throat problem he had. In other articles I have read this was not true... Can anyone clarify why he really lowered his voice?

Thanks,

I've also read that he had throat problems. Even that he needed surgery.
I don't know if it's really true but it doesn't surprise me at all. His voice at two first albums sounds very forced and, although I love it , it's very far from his natural register.
Every singer needs a great vocal technique to sing like that without destroying their throats. Many singers in popular music have throat problems because they didn't have the correct trainment.

I`ve read interview of Simon Napier-Bell and he told that David didn`t had any problems with throat. He said, that David decided to change image, so the changing of singing manner was one of the sides of this process...

Don`t know how much this is truth:)

Yeah, that's what it sounds like to me, too. It may have been getting too painful for him to keep singing in that register.

I've always heard it was part style and part finding his "voice" so to speak. I'm sure it is much easier and healthier on his vocal cords to sing in lower key, but I actually like both of his styles. The first style was appropriate for the time, but the current style is very pleasing. To make a long story short, just a natural transformation I suppose.

As a side note, I listen to Oil on Canvas alot, and on "Swing" when he says the last "Relax and swing" and he goes real low, it makes me grin like a fool!!! :D :lol:
