Reposted from @invictavox There is a difference between breathing normally and breathing to sing. 🎤 A normal breath usually feels higher in the chest, short, and shallow, almost like a pant. While a “singer’s breath” needs to be low and silent, or down and out; like how a yoga instructor would have you breathe. This way you have enough air as you sing. To practice the singer’s breath, take a nice deep nose breath. 👃When you do this you can feel your rib cage expand. Now, try the same deep breath again, but inhale through your mouth. 🗣 Practice these low silent breaths so that when you sing it becomes instinct! . . . . . #invictavox #developingtheartist #vocaltip #vocalcoach #singinglessons #draperutah #breathwork #breathedeep #yogabreathing #yogabreath #shallowbreathing #saltlakecity #professionalsinger #musiclessons https://www.instagram.com/p/CE-UF5bgNBO/?igshid=10m9d0rvtf2lb

A wee little vocal tip- Hydration is extremely important for the health and longevity of the voice. Drinking LOTS of water is crucial, but we also need TOPICAL HYDRATION, getting moisture to the vocal folds immediately. Steaming is the means to do that. #vocaltip #trainingthevocalathlete #earlharvillevox

#VocalTip ...singers often struggle needlessly due to the erroneous belief that a BIG breath will yield a big sound. Over-breathing is exhausting; plus, when we attempt to "fill up", we also "cap off" by tightening the throat. I'm not advising you to under-breathe either. Instead, simply ALLOW the breath to enter your body without blocking it. It may surprise you to learn that many of the world's most ancient breathwork practices operate with the understanding that the breath begins (is felt initially) within the pelvis/ tailbone area. It can take time to master. And, of course, there are exercises and tips that a certified #AApproach instructor can teach you in order to make it easier. If you're interested in taking lessons via Skype, FaceTime, or in person, then go to my site www.AApproach.com (clickable link is in my bio). #HealYourVoice #BuildYourVoice

Vocal tip: Take one day off a week to let your voice chill out. A vocal Sabbath, if you will. Remember that singers are athletes and need some recovery time. So, SHUT UP!! 😎#voiceteacher4life #vocaltip #earlharvillevox #trainingthevocalathlete

What a Singer Can Learn From a Mogul Skier

By Robin Earl

I spent my early life doing some recreational competitive ‘mogul’ skiing while living at Lake Tahoe. 'Boogie in the Bump’ contests!! I’ve taught skiing and other sports along the way, and I love to find similarities in concepts between sports and singing.. So here’s a mini-ski lesson in addition to a singing tip!!

1.  Project your energy forward. Lean In…don’t pull back.

2.  Use your core muscles for control.

3.  Think down, not up.

4.  Get in shape;  breathe.

SKIING:

Keep your weight forward— Lean into that next turn assertively. The second you feel fear, don’t pull back or you will fall, pull your energy forward and stay focused, and know that you will make the next turn.

Use your core muscles— critical for control. This is your center of gravity, and you will keep your balance if these muscles are strong and engaged. Keep your hips pointing down the mountain, use your knees to ‘absorb the bumps’, keep your upper body more level.

Think down, not up— at the top of the mountain, visualize yourself going down fearlessly. Hands forward, stay grounded and focused, keep your skis working the snow.

Do your conditioning to be in shape before you hit the slopes. Learn breathing techniques to maximize energy and go with the flow.

SINGING:

Keep your tone forward— the second you get to your ‘break’  and feel fear of ‘missing’ that high note, move your tone placement forward confidently, not back, and know that you will hit it.

Use your core muscles— more important than most singers realize for support and coordination of your breathing. Pitch problems are usually support/breathing problems or placement problems. Use these muscles also for your movement and rhythm on stage. Take up dance.

It actually helps to think ‘down,’ not up on your high notes. Ground them, and you will hit them. You can practice this by using your hands to ‘push’ down, as you sing higher.

Get in shape; breathe— Do your vocal exercises, do your physical exercise. Learn singing and breathing techniques that will support your tone and help you sing strongly and effortlessly.

How do you keep on top of your singing? If you need help with vocal issues or physical energy issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

3 Reasons Singers Should Hummm

Great vocal warmup— start your day warming up your speaking and singing voice by humming. Get your voice engaged slowly. You wouldn’t start your workout by running full speed.  Your choice: hum up and down your entire range, hum a song, hum one note, or any other humming….

M’s and N’s are your friends—ever wonder why all those zillions of warmup exercises start with M or N? mum mum mum, na na na. ? By starting with an M or N, you must breathe out your nose, then transition to nose/mouth exhaling. It keeps you from shutting down your nose breathing, which can create a nasal or pinched sound. (di di di instead of ni ni ni)

Start your song off right— many singers start their songs with humming at the beginning. Yes, it’s for style, but it also gets your tone forward and helps with your placement (singing in the ‘mask’ or front of the face) as you begin the song.
