i’m seein a lot of discourse on the tl about veins and the faces singers make while singing and speaking as an actual voice major 1.singers making faces that people call “ugly” is literally normal, you have to raise something called your soft palet which is in the back
of your mouth and to be able to sing properly you have to raise it which means opening your mouth wider. 2. if a vein pops out the side of someone’s throat while they’re singing, it’s simply a sign that they don’t have exactly enough breath support, so more effort is coming
from their chest/neck rather than their diaphragm, speaking on behalf of kd it’s literally impressive that even after you’ve done a lot of dancing you’re still able to hit the high note without running out of breath, you’re just using a different technique
