Douglas Stanley ( Not my recording )

Tenor Thomas LoMonaco studied under Douglas Stanley, who was a student of Manuel Garcia.  In regards to this lineage there is nothing fabricated or sensationalised.

The technique could be described as a deep, fully-engaged, open-throated sound. The technique states there are two registers, chest and falsetto. Much of the focus is on the sound at source (in the larynx). The objective of the training is to develop strong involvement of the chest voice, which for male voices is developed throughout the entire range. Falsetto is also developed in the training. The technique advocates a retracted position of the tongue. The breathing and support advocated is appoggio, as described by Titta Ruffo and Rosa Ponselle. The technique also advocates covering.
