Do these 3 things and you WILL instantly sound like a better singer. EVEN IF your range has decreased, even if you’re feeling out of shape physically, these 3 techniques will have you sounding more professional immediately.
I’ve been hearing from so many singers that they are having anxiety about “getting back out there” in the audition scene and on the stage. Not only are they feeling that their voices are rusty and have lost range, but they’re not sure they can handle the scrutiny and stress of going to auditions, being judged, the constant trying to prove themselves.
This last year has been a welcome relief for many people, a time when they were able to put down the constant low-level anxiety they felt about auditioning and trying to “make it” as a performer. It’s been nice not to have that insecurity insistently buzzing inside of us at all times.
But, now that we’re seeing audition notices going up and you might be thinking to yourself, “do I want to pick that up again??”
I’m guessing, no, you don’t want to pick anxiety back up.
But, if you want to perform, you do need to pick up your daily practice back up. You need to start singing again.
So, let’s get you some easy wins right off the bat. That’s what today’s show is about. Let’s give you a few things you can remind yourself of that will INSTANTLY make you sing better and sound better and feel closer to the singer you were before this pandemic.
Yes, three super easy things to implement right when you start singing your songs again. And NONE of them relate to your range or how high you can belt or how long of a phrase you can sing. Those things require stamina that is built over time.
Today’s techniques can be done by ANYONE any level of singing. And, they are three things that we all need to be consistently doing in our singing and can be reminded of, even if you’re an experienced singer.
Ready for a few easy wins? Then press play, and let’s get into it.
