Did Pavarotti and Mario Lanza sing in the mask by any chance?

Definitely not!

Now there's a dilemma! Singers like Michael Trimble say always sing in the mask (and of course he was taught by some of the greats). But here another big name (Corelli) says never sing in the mask. What gives? ;_;

I suppose it depends whether you want to sound like Trimble or Corelli?

@@JussiPaul haha hadn't thought of it that way ... I guess I just wanted to be sure on whether one way is right or wrong or if both are correct and just a matter of choice for whatever purpose.

@@emar779 If you want to know the long term effect of singing in the mask then have a listen to early Marilyn Horne recordings and then compare them to her later recordings. She was a big mask advocate and in my opinion she destroyed her voice. Having said that, I heard Alfredo Kraus live when he was about 70 and he sounded fabulous. Maybe it works for some and not for others? I teach a slight lowering of the soft palate when one approaches the passaggio but mask singers stay in that position for the whole voice so just from a mechanical standpoint it can`t really be healthy because all the parts involved in voice production need to stay flexible. My advice would be to never try to sing in the mask but like my student says when voice production is correct it will sometimes feel like the sound is in the mask. I hope that`s clear?
