Summary/Abstract: This article is a travelogue, which tells of the experiences and findings the author made during an interpretive and pedagogical career that extends over four decades. The text is divided into five sections: (1) Imitation and Analogy, (2) Dangerous Errors in Vocal Technique, (3) Understanding the “Architecture” of the Voice, (4) The Ego, and (5) Skills and Bad Habits. While the sections’ titles make their topics explicit, the author also focuses on “the ten commandments” of correct singing, on the psychodrama underwent by half-learned teachers, and on an array of issues related to the selflessness of the good voice teacher.
