For me it was not tensing, or relaxing /releasing my neck and jaw while I am singing, I first heard that in a masterclass of the late Hans Hotter, when I was surprised that he didn’t have much else to say, but when I started with Alexandertechnique, I realized how important that was, and I am sure that kept my voice fresh for more than 40 years of singing.

  This is a brilliant observation.. in singing as in so many other areas of life, that golden mean concept is the aim - not too much or too little.

I am only now learning to fully relax my larynx. This makes singing easier across my range, and my range keeps growing—I hit C2 (two octaves below middle C) for the first time today in my lesson.
