Harnessing Strength: The Importance of Direction

Whatever you are so good in, the direction is important. You must pull in the right direction and with the rest. You could be radiating the most solemn basso profundo with stable resonance and captivating timbre, but when you don’t harmonize with the rest, you can be so annoying and boring.
