Don’t forget dead cats

What I really mean is warm up - my favorite is “Me, Meh, Mah, Mo, Moo” which when I first started sounded like the death rattle of a herd of cats.

Warming up does two things:

Prevents injury

Prevents reinforcing bad habits related to position of the mouth or how you use your breath.

Tension below the neck releases tension above the neck.

Your abs should be sore the day after you practice singing but your voice should be clear.

Working the hell out of your abs is the easiest way to remove tension from your voice.

It literally should feel like you are going to the bathroom all the time.

It’s okay to look like an idiot

You should still record your practices.

Chances are if you look stupid you sound stupid.

Bite the apple

But don’t swallow it, or actually eat one either.

You will know your mouth position is correct when you sing when air moves freely on the roof of your mouth causing your entire facial bone structure to vibrate pleasantly.

The easiest way to do this is to sing with a position of your mouth similar to what you naturally do when you are about to bite an apple.

[learningtosing]

Relax your jaw

It will feel open but that’s because your muscles are so used to being tense around your jaw and mouth.

Don’t believe me?

Sing with a finger pressing firmly on either side of your cheek just below the point where your lower jaw meets your upper jaw.

You will instantly sound better I promise. You must practice this in order to get to the point where you understand what it means to “drop your jaw”.

If you don’t relax your jaw you will give yourself a hernia. I speak from experience.
