HAPPY LOVE DAY!

I LOVE ADDING TO MY VOCAL TOOL BOX! HOW LOVELY TO HAVE A BODY AS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT!!

Tongue stretches are part of my vocal tool box. I use them almost everyday. What is the point of all the stretching?? To perform in a relaxed state with no tension will allow you a new vibration.

PLUS if you have a tendency to let the back of your tongue get fat and lazy, you can work through that and as a result find a more POWerful vocal delivery.

Hüemanzee giving me the opportunity to use my voice!!

Tools I like to use to keep my voice in tip top shape, especially when there are no real live shows to speak of:

1. Tongue stretches
Sounds wild, but the tongue is responsible for so much when it comes to enunciation. The range of motion, and therefor dynamic, that a vocalist can access with proper tongue training is impressive when tongue stretches are incorporated regularly into vocal practice.

2. BREATH WORK!!
Breath work is GREAT for everyone, but especially vocalists. Breath work can range from intense cardio to a range of slow and conscious breath exercises. Breath work keeps the lungs and diaghram in peak condition as well as it helps the vocalist maintain seamless control over their delivery.

3. VOCAL EXERCISES
This almost seems like a no brainer, but still worth the mention. There are so many vocal exercises that are worth recommending, but the one that comes to mind now is the one Celine Dion used to demonstrate on all the talk shows when she took over the airwaves. The LIP TRILL!! Start your engines!!!

4. HYDRATION
Again this seems basic but the difference between hydrated vocal folds and dehydrated vocal folds SPEAK for themselves. Water is a great lubricant. The educated vocalist uses this to their advantage!

5. REST
I would actually redo this list and put REST as #1 . A voice that knows when and how long to rest WILL always rise to the occasion for a thrilling performance once warmed up. Resting the voice is not enough. Remember a true vocalist is an ATHLETE, with an understanding of how the whole body works as the instrument. When you intuitively rest the body, rest the mind, and rest the voice your instrument will thank you with all the energy you need for your performances... be it on stage, in studio, or in theory.

I hope you enjoyed my vocal tips 🐝

Our entire body is required to create clear tone. Trapped energy in the body can inhibit full vocal expression😮
