Without a plan, the odds of you knocking them dead at even the preliminary auditions are pretty small.  Luckily, there’s help.

Sought after vocal coach Jeannie Deva has put together a FREE eBook to help you get focused and understand how to prepare for what could be a life-changing audition.

Vocal stamina refers to being able to sing for a long period of time, literally singing hours without losing your voice. This can only happen with the proper vocal training. Much like how a long distance runner acquires stamina to run for long periods of time, it requires conditioning.

Getting comfortable with having just the right amount of air naturally sent by your automated diaphragm to the vocal folds is the first big step in acquiring strength and stamina. You want to find the right energy balance, which will come easier the more you practice.
