| For what it’s worth, I remember watching the “Masterclass” documentary series on HBO many years ago. In the episode starring Patti Lupone, she encourages one of the young musical-theater aspirants who was having trouble conveying emotion or generating excitement in her performance to try singing the song again in a higher key to raise the physical stakes (i.e., as your “gent” said, to make the physical act of singing harder), and hopefully, the emotional stakes with it. It worked like magic. |
