Will Caruso’s vocal exercises help you sing like Caruso or at least if not like Caruso will they help you? The exercises themselves are great, however, any set of exercises can be helpful or detrimental. It’s how you do the exercises that counts, not what exercises you do. There are well known exercises from Vaccai, Panofka, Marchesi, Caruso, Estelle Liebling to name just a few of the many books on the market and once again they are all either good or bad depending on how you do them.
Warm-up exercises should be tailored to the specific needs of each individual and not chosen arbitrarily. Many singers believe that by doing a series of exercises they will broaden their range and if they practice them daily they will gain good technique. Fake.
They can extend their range but nobody wants to listen to those notes because they can be strained and harsh. An exercise routine can warm up the voice, extend the extremities of the voice, unify registers and tone quality, teach you how to do a legato line and much more, but they can also do the opposite: tire the voice, create extremities. of the voice that no one would want to hear anyway and eventually form vocal nodules on the vocal cords. Perhaps now it is clearer that what counts is not the exercises you do, but how you do them. It is possible to sing the Caruso exercises and develop vocal nodes or to sing them and become a good singer.
