The problem with so much vocal training, especially of the psychological touchy-feely kind, or even that which concentrates on breathing and postural alignment is that the central challenge in improving a singing technique is training and/or retraining specific muscle groups to perform/react/respond to the stimulus of vowel, pitch and intensity in very specific and reflexive ways. Neither touchy-feely nor breath management addresses this directly enough.
