But do opera come from balancing the throat and nasal or is that pop?

Than there people saying balance the chest and head is that same as throat and nasal?
or is chest head for opera sound? 

My teacher is jazz teacher he use sing opera but now jazz. He don't like opera or classical much.

Any advice thanks

Also I don't got real good breathing control. That be more important to learn before anything. 
Before I sing I take deep breath into my diaphram  than another deep breath into my chest. 

So I need know how control this better.

You might want to check out "Securing Baritone, Bass-Baritone and Bass Voices" but Richard Miller.

I have not read it, but if I'm not mistaken, the chorus master of a regional opera chorus I sing in is frequently quoting advice from another book by this author.  It's only 20 bucks used at amazon.com, so it wouldn't be taking much of a chance to pick up a copy.

Most "Opera singers" have trained all their lives to acheive the level of skill that allows them to perform opera vocals. A large part of that training is physical conditioning. Learning how to regulate the human body to produce the sounds required. If you're looking for a three week course to become an opera singer, good luck.

ok thanks I check it out. I been teaching lot to my self I copy lot of the singers than work from there. I been doing this through out my life. Now I'm more serious about singing.
I'm doing that breathing tech. Lay on your back with book on your diaphram. Also holding my breath and time myself.

But I need teacher who can help instruct me. The teacher I got now is really great! Though he on skype and gots lot gigs I only see him twice week. Any suggestion finding teacher who's near crosby,baytown tx.

Thanks

You will benefit from diaphragm exercises. All your control comes from the diaphragm. When you breathe in, your stomach should go out, not your chest. You have to train those muscles. 
Your mouth should be well open. Your index and middle finger, side by side should fit between your teeth, then your mouth is open enough.
Really, some private voice lessons would be in order, at least to learn the basics and learn the exercises you need (though you may find some on Youtube)... then work, practice, work, work, work... just like anything else.. if you want to be good at it.
 
For finding a local teacher check with the local high school choir director. If there is one around they will know.

Ok I can do that. You mean the way you yawn? 

Are these videos on youtube useful? Like for finding the balance between your head and chest? 
I mean lot them sound more soft pop type than deep opera type.


Could this be useful video finding head voice classical? To me this one make more sense.
