Singing Series Part 1: Your Body & Breath for Singing

MYTH BUSTERS:
"singer’s posture” isn’t helpful.
And “taking a big breath” isn’t either!

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to align your body & breath with optimal singing, this is for you!

Fair warning: this is a very different approach to how most people teach (and learn!) how to stand & breathe for singing.

(I’m fully expecting the wrath from fellow voice teachers! 😅)

BUT… I can guarantee that after this episode, you’ll understand why I teach this way. Follow along with the cues to experience it for yourself!

WE COVER:

  • why singing is not just “from your throat”

  • why standing in “singer’s posture” can be bad advice

  • the shallow (& most common!) way to take a deep breath

  • the difference between posture and alignment

  • how to actually take a good breath… which a better verbal cue to follow

  • a vocal exercise to apply your breath to your singing

  • a fun assignment to practice your breath & alignment on your own
