Response: If I gave you the bird...

As Arroyo and Veasey sing louder, their 'singing space' seems to remain the same however, their mouth aperture increases some to account for more projection.  They do blend well but the color in the differences in color, stylistic nuance, voice type, etc. allow them to achieve individuality in their performances.

Pavoratti's performance is almost unreal to watch. It's very difficult to pinpoint where his 'sound' is coming from which is weird but, I think that's what should happen. The sound is produced so effortlessly that it has be producing very low in the body.  Similarly, watching him sing make his look as if he is physically 'anchored' or mechanically fastened to the stage. Very grounded.  His mouth amberture is very controlled--his jaw is never over extended nor his mouth every horizontal. His mouth is simply an opening from which sound is emitted--it never get's in the way.

Pape tone is definitely being produced low in the body.  Watching singers at this level is kinda creep because the sound produced is done so effortlessly that it's hard to pinpoint where the sound comes from.  He definitely seems to be singing from the 'chest'. The sound is really, really anchored into the body.
