Are You Straining to Sing? By Jeannie Deva

straining to singYou can hear it in the quality and feel it in your throat when it happens. The muscles tense and pull, your tone gets kind of pinched, pitchy and shrill. And if your voice doesn’t break you can consider yourself lucky.

Taking Command of Your Vocal Performance, by Jeannie Deva

taking control of your vocal performance

Otherwise known as stage projection, presence or charisma, the ability to command your performance space is an essential ingredient to your song delivery and performance success. When you perform, if you are closed-in to yourself, you will not be able to emanate enough energy from the stage and to the audience to create much if any impact. Conversely, extroverting your attention outward to your audience can help to give you a sense of space and certainty into which you can project yourself and your communication. 

Hearing Yourself on Stage

Lyrics and melody being the center of attention for most music fans, great vocals are arguably the most essential element of successful song performance.

Harmonizing with other Singers

For those of you already singing in or desiring to sing in a group with other voices, here is some information and tips on this fun but often challenging setting.

No matter how many other singers are in the group, there is, of course going to be a melody. Sometimes the arrangement moves this melody from one singer or chorus section to another, and many times the melody is sung by only one singer or, for example in a chorus, is sung only by the soprano section.

All the other parts are harmony parts. The harmony parts can be considered melodies as well, but as they are not the lead melodic line, they support what is thought of as the melody.

Let Me Know What You Think So Far

It’s been a few months since we launched the Vocal School and I’d love to know what you think... I'm excited by the great progress here and seeing a lot of good effort going into the lessons. So if you're enjoying the school send me a Video Exchange, and instead of asking a question, give me a quick testimonial about your experience.  We all love positive feedback, and your experience could be very helpful to other people who might be interested in joining. If you're not sure where to upload your video for this, just click here

Thanks!

- Jeannie
