As I achieve minimum competence, by my standards, with a little help from my friends, in aspects of making recordings, I directed attention to a neglected area, the voice, and devoted much of the fall and winter to scouring the fertile ground of YouTube for instructional videos on voice.
I identified five areas of study, the outline of which might save self-directed learners some effort and speed the process. They are:
I. Voice Maintenance
(a) Anatomy information. (See: Dr.Dan)
(b) Health and Wellness common sense.
II. Registers and Range
(a) Understanding Range

(b) Recognizing and using Registers
III. Breathing technique (very important)
IV. Rhythm and Elocution -- consonants can be a challenge
V. Using the Snark (or other) tuner to practice pitch.
VI. Substituting harmonics for notes out of range, e.g.
if the low G is out of range, substitute B or D.
I am posting this list as a study guide. Any feedback appreciated. My method was hit/miss/stumble upon.
