    For men, tenors in particular:

    The best one to develop vocal strength is singing "ee" vowels in scales going up to high notes. This is exactly how Pavarotti claims to have developed his vocal strength -- he calls it e-chor. Do the usual 5-note scale, or a triad if this is too difficult. Start low and work your way up past your break point into your head voice. DO NOT USE FALSETTO -- you will never gain vocal strength using this weak mechanism. Pavarotti sang e-chor until the day he retired.

    Then rest a few minutes and do it one more time. Stop. Sing scales on "ahh" and "ae" a few times low to high. AGAIN ---NO FALSETTO. Then sing a song.

    Don't sing more than every other day for about 1 hour per session. You will be amazed at how fast your voice will develop it's strength and agility if you adhere to a precise excercise regimen.

    Remember, it aint easy -- which is why so few can do it right.

    • You need to sing more than an hr every other day, but practice lightly and carefully. Practice varies by person.

    • Tenors learn how to increase the volume of the "falsetto" voice, just as a woman strengthens her "head voice"
