Water, water everywhere!

Ahhh. Summer time! It's freaking hot! And you're crazy if you're not drinking lots of water right now. But its not just the summer time we should be drinking lots of water! This should be a year round practice. As a singer you need to consume much more than the average person. So get yourself a cool aluminum bottle and start sucking it down!!

Smile!!!

I had a student the other day singing a super uptempo song and the look on her face was pure boredom. This is what I told her to repeat to herself everyday...'if I don't smile I look either scared, bored or like I don't want to be there...' So all she had to do was smile and all of that changed! She finally looked engaged, interested and had attitude!!! Finally!! And all it took was a little smile...

Breathe....

Tip #2-Isn't it funny how the most important thing that keeps our body functioning is the very thing that we need work on the most?? Breath is the most important aspect of singing, your stamina, range and power all depend on the little muscle in your stomach, called the diaphragm. Harness this, and you're well on you're way!

It's more than just singing...

Tip #1. It's more than just singing. Because it is. Really. Singing notes isn't going to cut it. How many singers have an amazing voice?? Lots. Millions even. Great timbre. Tone and range to kill for. I know them, you know them...we see them on American Idol and America's got Talent and star maker and blah blah blah. But what pulls us in?? It isn't normally just the voice. It's that special something else. In fact, how many successful singers can you name that can barely sing? Here's some: Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson, and the list goes on and on. Does it make them bad!? hell no. These guys and girls are all amazing, because it isn't just the voice that matters. It's soul, heart, images, performance, body, control, breath, dance, movement, acting, it's all of those things and a lot more.
