Focus

Don't worry about the sound you are currently making, it's done. Give it direction and a space to go to.
If I am worried about the sound that is currently going on then I am trying to fix the past. The sound that I heard is done. What I can do is give my body directions on where the sound is going to be. Releasing the jaw, lifting the zygomatic arch, not holding the breath, release the tongue: these are thing I can do. - Oh how I wish I had learned this sooner--

What I have learned through my voice career.

As I endeavour to travel the next leg of my musical journey, I thought I would share my thoughts, triumphs, and experiences. This blog will hopefully be a chance for the reader to be inspired with the knowledge I have gleaned from my teachers over the years, and then perhaps avoid some of the musical pitfalls I have endured.

If I believe something, I had better have a sound technical reason for believing in it or I should not be applying that technique.
Some people can sing without understanding why. I am not one of those people. Blind faith that a good sound will come out has not proven productive. Learning the hows and whys allows me to have a much more rewarding experience, since I can then successfully recreate the music. Questioning is not a bad or disrespectful to my instructor. Continued absurd technique is.
