The Importance of Fun

Here's a podcast about the importance of having fun vocally with a little surprise at the end! (HINT: ADELE)



The New Year

With the new year right around the corner many people are starting to think about their new year resolutions. Don't forget about your voice during the greatest time of need!

If you're in school and in a choir, you will most likely be returning to class right after the new year. It's during this time that a lot of people start to loose their range because they aren't using it. USE IT OR LOOSE IT. Believe it or not it's true. This is also common among the summer months as well.

Make your new year resolution to remember to practice! If you don't practice you'll really regret it because you'll have to build up your range all over again and it's not very fun.

Christmas and Self-Confidence!

One of the hugest problems for singers is self-confidence, we're afraid of what others will think of us. Unlike using and instrument, we actually produce our own talent which makes criticism a little harder to handle.

The holidays is the best time to get out and show the world what you have to offer. Not only are there more opportunities from musicals, churches, caroling, etc., but people are often a lot nicer on what they have to say.

No one wants to go out and sing and be told they were flat/sharp or didn't hit a note correctly. We're all human, we're all allowed to make mistakes. I'm not going to sugar coat it, some people can just be plain rude in their criticism but most people are not. People are going to recognize that you had the strength to get up and sing when a lot of other people do not.

Christmas time promotes self confidence and self worth so use it up to the best of your abilities!

Using your Gift

Around Christmas time it becomes very important to be around family and friends. During this time it's also important to realize what you have and what others wish they did.

A lot of people give gifts to people who really need it. These gifts can include presents, food, money, and daily necessities. Yet no one ever stops and thinks about giving the gift of your talent.

If you have the talent to sing now is the time to share it. It's starting to get could outside and a lot of people who have no home or no where to live loose hope. This hope can be restored by just showing you care. You don't have to give money to show you care, just give your gift.

Go Christmas Caroling at the local mission. Show people that you want to share with them what you can. Most likely people will remember you more for your attitude then what you physically gave them. Let them sing with you!

Doing this will also help you gain self confidence to sing in auditions or other things similar. Get involved in your community.
